It’s the newest trend in bullying.  Once upon a time, all you had to worry about being picked on for was being fat, ugly, dumb, smart, nerdy, well-dressed, poorly-dressed, poor, buck-toothed, four-eyed, or having a speech impediment.  Nowadays, all those things are still in play, but there’s also an additional form of bullying in the […]

In the movie Snatch, there’s a hilarious scene in which Cousin Avi’s gravely injured bodyguard is promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll get you to a doctor.  A nice JEWISH doctor!”  Unfortunately for the bodyguard, there’s a car accident and he’s accidentally decapitated.  Still, the Jewish doctor line was funny (as it was spoken by a Jewish […]

It’s getting closer and closer to Halloween, which means that soon, we’ll all be hitting the stores to find pumpkins.  Whether you’re looking for pumpkins to carve or a pumpkin to make pies, you’re gonna need a big orange squash-like vegetable sooner, rather than later.  Perhaps that’s what drove 38-year-old Samuel D. Beu Jr. to […]

Bouncers at the Americanos club in Munich, Germany, can’t explain why it happened, they just know it happened.  A 27-year-old man named Guenther Hart was in the middle of a crowded club when all of a sudden, he dropped his pants and started to pee everywhere.  Hart peed on the electrical socket, causing the club’s […]

Maurizio Cattelan is a very controversial artist.  However, this controversial nature hasn’t stopped the city of Milan, Italy, from celebrating Cattelan’s work with a massive public display of some of his classics, including a giant severed hand statue making a rude gesture, ironically called L.O.V.E., in the middle of Milan’s business district.  The 11-meter (36-feet)-high […]

It’s hard for a man like Kim Jong-Il to admit he’s getting older, but at age 68 and with many health problems, the self-styled Dear Leader of North Korea has to be facing the fact that he won’t be around forever, and will likely not be able to continue ruling the family fiefdom in Pyongyang […]

Peter Jackson’s announcement of a fourth Lord of the Rings film, in the form of the prequel story The Hobbit, got LOTR fans in a frenzy.  Now, Peter Jackson’s choice to film in New Zealand has actors in a frenzy, as seven major acting unions have banded together to tell their membership not to participate […]

Less than a year ago, British multi-millionaire Jimi Heselden bought the Segway company from founder and inventor Dean Kamen.  Now, Heselden is dead.  The new owner of the Segway company suffered a fatal accident while riding his Segway, having driven his two-wheeled personal vehicle off a cliff overlooking the River Wharfe on his Yorkshire estate. […]

Are you looking for the gift for the car-nut who has everything?  Well, when it comes to weird accessories, there’s nothing quite on the level of the Carstache.  If the name didn’t give it away, the Carstache  is a mustache for your car, and it’s the hottest car accessory since, well… ever, basically.  That’s right, […]

In what is the least punk rock movie the band’s ever done (and they have a long history of being not punk rock), Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of the band Green Day, is going to be heading to Broadway to join up with a show he ought to know pretty well.  Green Day’s […]

There’s just something about those big foam-rubber mascots that makes people want to fight them.  Sometimes, the fighters are two mascots, and sometimes, the fights are between people not wearing costumes and costumed characters.  However, a Florida man is regretting picking a fight with Elmo, after Elmo broke the man’s two fingers during a violent […]

Google was incorporated on September 4, 1998.  They hired their first employee on September 21, 1998.  However, when you ask Google what their birth date is, they’ll tell you that it’s September 27, at least for this year.  In past years, Google has celebrated its birthday on September 7, but this year Google’s 12th birthday […]

When is a penny worth millions of dollars?  When it’s the only one of its kind.  In 1943, at the highest point of the war effort, America was involved in two theaters of operation and copper/bronze was needed for the war effort, so most of the pennies in the United States were zinc-coated steel.  However, […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki wasn’t the first Japanese player to enter Major League Baseball, but when all is said and done, he will probably be the best.  Ichiro already holds one MLB record, most hits in a season, which he set in 2004.  Now, he’s got another record under his belt, as last night […]

It’s a story that would’ve been fatal had it not been for the handiness of courgettes.  In Frenchtown, Montana, a fairly small little town, a woman was in her house around midnight when she heard some noise outside.  When she turned on the lights, she discovered that her 12-year-old collie was being attacked by a […]
