Petter Kverneng, a 20-year-old man from Norway, has had a crush on Cathrine Johansen since they were high school students together.  Two years after graduation, that crush has not gone away.  In fact, it’s intensified, but Petter has come up with a way to get that crush turned into a real relationship.  The bet is a night of passion for one million Facebook likes.  Cathrine accepted the bet, and Petter went to work.  After a million Facebook likes, Petter Kverneng has won the sex bet he made with his high school crush.

The whole thing kind of feels like a scam.  After all, they’re not exactly going to prove they made good on their bet, and if they have proof I definitely don’t want to see it.  Plus, like Kverneng said, he was inspired by a previous Facebook likes stunt, so odds are this one is a stunt too.  If it’s not, then good for him I guess, but you’d think he’d want to consummate things with his crush because he earned it, not because he got a million strangers to click a check box on Facebook.

Then again, they’ve been friends for a long time, and maybe this is just the kind of stunt he needed to pull off to get out of the Friend Zone. Either that, or this is the impetus she’s needed to confess her true feelings for her longtime friend.  Or it’s a scam.  I’m still leaning towards scam, because this isn’t an 80′s movie and if she wanted a real accomplishment, she would have made it 100 million Facebook likes.

These days, with increased terror threats and a general uneasiness, it’s pretty easy to get your plane escorted to an emergency landing by jet fighters.  Any sort of disturbance during an international flight is a pretty bad idea, and a flight going from Lahore, Pakistan to Manchester, England ended up with an escort from Typhoon [...]

Amanda Bynes has a history of getting wild and crazy.  She’s obviously got something wrong with her, as she can’t stop drinking like Randy Travis and smoking pot like Fiona Apple now that she’s retired from acting to become a full-time Twitter celebrity and train-wreck.  Well, Bynes is in trouble again, thanks to some very [...]

In the middle of the street in broad daylight you wouldn’t expect to see someone being hacked to death with a machete, but we’re living in strange times.  In the Woolwich suburb of London, England, two suspected Muslim terrorists hacked an active duty soldier to death on the street.  As the men hacked the soldier to [...]

Every year, when the NBA has to decide who gets the top draft pick, they turn to a series of ping pong balls, each weighted according to the odds that it will come to the top of the machine.  Obviously, it’s a strange system, but there we are.  It keeps teams from taking too hard [...]

The Doors were a distinctive band, but there were two aspects that stuck out more than others in their awesome sound.  The first was the baritone caterwaul of poetry coming from the mouth of Jim Morrison.  The other is the awesome keyboard work of Ray Manzarek.  Morrison died in 1971, but Manzarek was able to [...]

There are a lot of scary things about tornadoes.  They’re just a big, scary force of nature that cannot be reasoned with, cannot be controlled, and can rarely be predicted.  Once a tornado is on the ground, you don’t really know where it’s going to hit or how hard it is going to hit.  A [...]
