It wasn’t a bear digging up corpses or an archaeologist unearthing a gladiator in a Chicago-area cemetery. It was the people entrusted with taking care of the property who were doing the uncalled for digging. It’s one thing to be a thief, but it takes a while other sort of despicable being to desecrate corpses […]

Vampires to the left of me. Vampires to the right of me. Vampires right in front of me. You can’t turn on the television or buy a movie ticket without the bloodsuckers showing up. It’s more than just a trend now. There are all types of vamps out there. The dreamy, swoon-inducing, non-threatening teen version […]

  The Fourth of July holiday is a time when we Americans celebrate the birth of our nation, but 98 years ago more than 50,000 veterans of the Civil War spent that time together to celebrate and reminisce about the Battle of Gettysburg. In 1913 it was the 50th anniversary of the pivotal three-day collision […]

Drunken thieves always result in the most entertaining and head-scratch-worthy stories. Take the recent case of the besotted fool in Bowling Green, Kentucky who was roused out of two homes before the police nabbed him. The drunk intruder had his pockets stuffed with unusual loot. In addition to (wait for it) drugs, police found two […]

There’s a new free online jukebox for music lovers, and you don’t have to hit it with your fist like the Fonz to make it play. Of course, the music you can hear on this jukebox is even more dated than the hits from the 50s that the Happy Days gang heard. The Library of […]

Humans are a sentimental lot. We keep souvenirs of our vacations and mementos of big moments in our lives. There is a whole industry that’s built up around scrapbooking. Some souvenirs are a little more gruesome than others, like the titanium plate used in a man’s skull that he kept after re-growing the missing chunk […]

The Father of our Country, George Washington, was a man around whom legends  have grown. Did he or didn’t he cut down a cherry tree and then stand up and speak the truth? Did he or didn’t he heave a silver dollar across the Potomac? Did he or didn’t he shove wooden chompers into his […]

In terms of natural disasters, some strike in an instant without warning, like the earthquakes that struck Japan and New Zealand earlier this year. Now with advancements in technology, tsunamis and even tornadoes can be tracked with appropriate warnings to specific neighborhoods. However, tornadoes still manage to steal hamburgers even in this day and age. […]

In an outing less successful than Bambi’s spin across the ice with Thumper, a deer found itself in dire straits after roaming out onto a frozen lake. The ice wasn’t thick enough to support the woodland leaper and the deer fell through to a potentially cold water ending reminiscent of the finale of The Titanic. […]

While the US military and in particular the Navy Seals get credit for wiping out world menace Osama Bin Laden, one Twitter user in Abbottabad, Pakistan gets credit for being the first to report about the raid, even if he didn’t realize what he was tweeting about. Sohaib Athar, a.k.a. @ReallyVirtual, posted on Twitter about […]

The fervor surrounding the impending nuptials for England’s future king and his lovely Kate and her fabulously sexy dress has taken over the US media. Even bear-fearing Stephen Colbert has taken lessons on the proper etiquette required to be a good royal wedding guest on his show The Colbert Report. In addition to the media […]

With Easter just a few days away, cute bunnies and chicks and ducks are everywhere. We are even inundated with them in the marshmallow form for both consumption and for Peep dioramas. Sure those flop-eared rabbits and fluffy birds create lots of “Awwwww” moments, but to give you a short break from those holiday-related animals, […]
