Radivoje Lajic is not a very lucky man.  For one thing, he’s got a name like a bad Scrabble hand.  Also, he’s being bombarded by meteors.  For some reason, Lajic’s house in the village of Gornji Lajici, Bosnia, is meteor central.  He’s been hit by six meteors since 2007, and every time it rains, he […]

It sounds good, doesn’t it?  If you say a can labeled Senior Holistic Superfood that promised sharp vision, joint health, and a boosted immune system, you’d probably give it a shot.  I would; so would senior Frank Viscido of Clearwater, Florida.  He’s one of the many folks helped out by the Religious Community Services Food […]

It’s one of the world’s most common fears.  People just don’t like being stabbed with needles.  When it comes to the flu vaccine, that’s doubly true, as the flu vaccine not only causes pain when you get it, it also causes a low-grade fever after you’ve gotten your sticking.  Granted, it does keep you from […]

One of the hazards of modern living is the sound wall.  Most people didn’t have a choice when the state put an Interstate in their backyard, and the only solution to keep the obnoxious sound of cars at bay is to throw up big, ugly, sound-dampening concrete walls.  Or is it?  Fed up with the […]

Police in Mesa, Arizona, were answering a distress call.  A man flagged the cops down and told them in a panic that his 24-year-old girlfriend Chandra Reed had damaged his car with a dog leash and broke out his windshield in a rage.  Obviously, he didn’t feel too safe, so he wanted her to be […]

Lord Edward Davenport has an awesomely posh name, and to support that posh name, you need a lavish lifestyle.  Now while Edward has a peership, he’s got no real money, so he got creative and put his name to good use.  The 44-year-old started a party planning company called Gatecrashers, which turned rented mansions like […]

See that woman above?  That’s Queen Mary I, the daughter of noted despot and gurgitator King Henry VIII.  Like her father, she had a bit of a mean streak, hence her nickname “Bloody Mary.”  However, according to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), there’s a limit to what you can do with Mary’s image, and making […]

Every morning, a German police officer named Martin Schauder spends 15 minutes just getting dressed in the many required layers he wears every working day.  When he comes home from a hard day policing the streets of Muenster, Germany, he takes another 15 minutes to peel out of his police uniform.  For most people, that’s […]

There’s a long and well-established history of authorities having seen and investigated UFO sightings.  From the UK’s former UFO database to the US’s Project Blue Book, most of the official interest in UFOs comes from the most unlikely of sources.  We’re not talking drunken hillbillies, we’re talking sightings by hard-boiled military men and other keen-eyed, […]

It sounds like something from the Keystone Kops era of silent movies, or maybe a Police Academy-style spoof.  There’s a guy trapped in a van, with the alarm blaring.  The two officers rush to the scene to give aid.  One of the cops manages to squeeze into the escape hatch and check on the man […]
