You can use toilet paper for almost anything.  Where I work, I swipe a roll for my desk so I can always have tissues, but other people have used it for everything from making squeezably soft wedding dresses to works of art.  Oh yeah, also, you can apparently load a gun up with toilet paper […]

Wilson the volleyball was a great companion for a marooned Tom Hanks in the survival movie Cast Away, but as a prison guard?  It turns out he’s not quite as useful.  Two convicted armed robbers and inmates, Walter Pozo and Cesar Andres, escaped from a prison in the city of Neuquen, Argentina, after noticing that […]

If there’s one thing Ieshuh Griffin wants the world to know, it’s that she’s not a puppet for whitey.  In fact, she describes herself as, and I quote, “not the whiteman’s bitch.”  Rather, that’s how she would describe herself, if she was allowed.  She’s an independent candidate for a city council spot in Milwaukee, and […]

By all accounts, Clive Worth is a very lucky guy.  Despite looking like he does and being 60 years old, the ex-miner from Pontyates, in Western Wales, claims to have slept with over 1,500 women that he’s met online, and claims to keep going until he’s 80 (or dies from some new strain of super-STD).  […]

The flight was to go from Washington, D.C., to sunny Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, the flight wasn’t as easy as it should have been, as the plane encountered a little turbulence.  And by a little turbulence, I mean 21 people were taken to the hospital with injuries after turbulence forced a plane to make an emergency […]

Armand M. Pacher and his dog, Christie Brinkley, were having problems.  Not the usual sort of problems a dog and a master might have, like an accidental shooting, but couple problems.  As Pacher, a 64-year-old retired insurance executive, is accused of saying to his veterinarian during Christie Brinkley’s most recent check-up, “She doesn’t seem to […]

It’s the deal of a lifetime.  A would-be customer walks into the Women’s Center Thrift Store in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.  A few minutes of haggling and $5 later, they walk out with a fully-loaded, 2-year-old Dell Inspiron laptop!  Sweet deal, huh?  Yeah, sweet deal for everyone but the thrift store’s manager, who owns the computer […]

Today’s a day for celebrations!  Slice up that cake, open that bag of chips, and order in a pizza because it’s time to enjoy the greatest treat life has to offer:  junk food.  That’s right, diabetics bar the door because it’s National Junk Food Day!  Time to chow down, everybody! Here’s some fun facts about […]

One of the big things that’s harmed Playboy’s cachet is the fact that the magazine contains topless women.  Aside from that, there’s a lot of great stuff in the magazine.  I mean, all sorts of noteworthy notables have contributed articles, there’s jokes and humor, and they’re one of the few magazines that still features short […]

When Rick Gorski’s neighbors were moving from their home in Newport Beach, California, they had a yard sale.  There’s no better way to get rid of your old junk than to simply sell it off to your closest friends and neighbors!  Well, among the things sold was a $5 shirt which Gorski bought.  As it […]

It’s one of the rarest finds in archaeology:  a completely undisturbed tomb.  The tomb of an ancient Mayan king, some 1600 years old, has been discovered beneath the appropriately-named El Diablo pyramid near the Guatamalan city of El Zotz.  Why is the El Diablo pyramid appropriately named?  Because, among the other features in the tomb […]

There’s nothing quite like an ice cream on a hot summer day.  It’s so cool, sweet, and refreshing… you just really can’t beat it.  As any kid will tell you, the ice cream in the freezer is good, but the ice cream treats that come off the back of the ice cream truck are even […]

Say what you want to about airport security, they’re occasionally really good at their job.  For example, in Mexico City’s incredibly busy international airport, Roberto Cabrera was noticed looking a bit… lumpy.  So he was pulled from the line and given a closer inspection, where it was discovered that he was wearing a girdle.  Inside […]
