A kangaroo contemplating evil deeds.

Kangaroos look cute, but behind those big eyes is a heart as black as their eyes.  Kangaroos can be aggressive, dangerous creatures, especially during mating season.  No one’s sure why a kangaroo went on a rampage in Charleville, Queensland, but it did.  A rampaging kangaroo attacked a 94-year-old woman while she was doing laundry; she managed to escape, and when the cops arrived, the kangaroo went after them, too!  Police had to use pepper spray on an angry kangaroo, multiple times, to get it to flee.

“One officer had to deploy his spray on the animal and it ran away and saw the other police officer out of the corner of its eye,” said Sgt. Stephen Perkins of the Charleville Police.  “The other officer also had to deploy his spray to keep from getting hurt.  It’s one of the many unusual calls we get out here.”

As for the original victim, 94-year-old Phyllis Johnson, she tells a similar story:

“I thought it was going to kill me,” Johnson told Charleville’s paper, The Courier-Mail, from her room in Charleville Hospital.  “It was taller than me and it just ploughed through the clothes on the washing line straight for me.  I happened to have a broom nearby and I just started swinging at it.  I bashed it on the head but it kept going for me, not even the dog would help, it was too frightened.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
