Massages are supposed to relax the body and the mind.
For those folks like Indiana Jones who suffer from ophidiophobi - fear of snakes - Ada Barak’s spa in Israel is not the place they won’t to stop in for a rubdown.
The spa offers an unusual massage that includes the release of six non-venomous snakes […]
I think the best thing we can say about this photo from Chicken Crap is that the people who own this convenience store do not want you to do anything.
Pull up your pants?
How in God’s green earth did that become policy?
With the new Batman movie out this summer, I think back to all those Technicolor bad guys from the Adam West television version of Batman.
Funny, yes; scary, not so much.
I mean come on. That version of the Penguin’s biggest scare tactic was pointing at Robin with an umbrella while wearing a monocle.
Normally, the umbrella isn’t […]
Who doesn’t love a conspiracy theory? Everything from Roswell and Area 51 to the Grassy Knoll have been debated as potential cover-ups by the U.S. government.
It seems Google Moon may have exposed another one of the government’s secrets - the faking of the lunar landing mission.
Or at least The Vactioneers have done another spot-on bit […]
People do a lot of odd surveys. A recent Ipsos Reid poll conducted in Canada at the behest of Microsoft asked a lot of questions about, what else, video games. I suppose they’re trying to find out just where people play games so they can respond and push the Xbox 360 into the proper areas […]

I’ve purchased more than one remote control vehicle for my nephews with the ultimate goal of grabbing the controller out of their little hands in order take over the scaled down machines and drive them until their wheels fall off.
Even then I crash them more often than not.
But the king of the remote controllers may […]
I actually watched some goofy TV game show for the first time where contestants tried to recall the lyrics to popular songs with $$$ on the line. The top prize was a million bucks, but I’m guessing no one is ever going to grab that brass ring.
It was like watching drunks in a bar singing […]
I’m not a big risk taker in my life.
I try not to tick off the Grim Reaper, keeping him at arm’s length as much as possible.
I’m wondering what the owners and patrons of a new eating establishment in the Ukraine were thinking when they mocked death by building a theme restaurant named Eternity centered around […]
You see that lovely wedding dress? It’s not just a lovely outfit, it’s a lovely outfit made of, get this… toilet paper. That’s right, it’s a squeezable soft, extra absorbent, ridged for extra cleaning bridal gown.
That lovely dress, fabricated over a two week period by Katrina Chalifoux, won the fourth annual toilet paper […]
Some call it being sarcastic.
Some call it being a smartass.
Either way, it’s apparently proof that we as human beings are evolving.
It seems studies in Israel and California have shown that people with damage to the right side of the brain can not distinguish sarcasm during conversation.
The scientists are saying that those who aren’t able to […]
Just what can you say about a statue that honors anything involving the human butt?
It’s pretty much put me at a loss for words but I’ll give you the bare bones of it all and you can click the link to get the rest.
A Russian spa has built a five-foot tall statue of an enema […]
Never let it be said that Pop Fi doesn’t give a regular dose of sports stuff. Why, we’ve even covered a tiny soccer team and games for your dog.
It’s no secret that nearly everyone on the planet is mad for soccer, or as its known in most other locales on the globe, futbol.
In the past […]
Everybody and their brother are talking about the rising price of a gallon of gasoline.
I know I’m feeling the pinch in my bank account every time I fill my tank and see the numbers on the pumps whirling around and around faster than Britney Spears can pop in and out of rehab.
But at least the […]
I’m not the sort of person who gets all moony about mythological unicorns and rainbows, but I do get worked up over animal freaks.
Whether it’s two-faced kittens or siamese twin calves or obese monkeys or featherless birds, I’m all about it.
I just read about the latest Mother Nature mix-up - a “unicorn” deer living on […]
I’ve got a sweet tooth, but there’s one candy that rarely touches my sensitive palate.
I can’t abide Gummy Bears. I’m guessing even those stupid candy criminals didn’t even grab any of these during their stealing spree.
I know I must be in the minority as the sugary, sticky products keep turning up in all kinds […]
Remember that awesome viral video of that office worker going completely insane? Well, as it turns out, that wasn’t just some great hidden camera footage. No, it was just your every day, run of the mill viral marketing campaign. Instead of selling computer products or pepper spray, it was just a video selling […]

Who doesn’t love a relaxing day on the golf course? The sun’s shining, the grass is green and lush, there’s a nice cool breeze blowing through the trees. Oh yeah, and there’s also discarded military explosives right off the tee box. Wait, what?
Right off the 5th hole, Freddie McGee was operating a bulldozer with another […]
I live in a rural area so seeing dead things along the side of the road isn’t uncommon.
Squashed raccoons, flattened opossums, dead deer and stinky stunted skunks regularly make up my daily drive to work.
But I’ll admit I have never spotted a chicken bomb on the edge of the highway.
That’s what one motorist in Connecticut […]
Everyone knows we love a viral video here at Pop Fi.
Whether it’s an office worker going insane, an ugly divorce situation or the Obama kid, we try to keep on spreading the video love.
One of the latest to hit the Intertubes is a clip of folks using cell phones to heat up some kernels and […]
There’s just something about bubbles that regress every adult back into a kid again.
When I see some tots blowing soap bubbles on their front lawn, I either want to take the wand away from them and create my own round wonders or chase the floaters and pop each and every one.
An ingenious little design called […]
We’ve all gotten frustrated at work before.
The daily stresses sometimes push us to the edge.
But most of us pull ourselves back from the brink.
Then there are those folks who go careening over that precipice and land in Crazyville.
Think back to the hedgehog tossed in anger issue Pop Fi has covered for you.
That seems very harmless […]
I ran across this video produced at the Savannah College of Art and Design that is pretty cool and creepy.
After you watch this one, you’ll never look at a No. 2 pencil in the same way again.
It’s got a weird Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe.
I wonder what would happen if you used Pencil Face […]
Every time I surf around the Internet, I invariably run across something that makes me scratch my head.
Often that scalp tickling comes courtesy of a Japanese television show featuring something like a velcro wall or a crazy obstacle courses.
That was the case when I ran across a clip of an Asian man doing his finest […]
Pop Fi recently shared info about NASA’s upcoming Kepler Mission through which you can send your name into space, now NASA is all excited about its Phoenix Mars Lander’s recent discovery.
Before it even reached out and touched the soil of the Red Planet, Phoenix sent a photo that created a stir back at home base […]
Pop Fi has brought all sorts of homes to your attention. We’ve had houses made of newspaper, “backpack” additions to condos and houses made from recycled trash. Even dog houses that would make some people jealous.
The latest unusual home is a house made of umbrellas. The structure by Japanese designer Kengo Kuma is comprised of […]
We’ve all been hedgehog-throwing mad. I know I sure have. It’s important, when you’re at your angriest, to step back, take some deep breaths, and slowly put down the Erinaceinae, because if you’re anything like the New Zealander who threw the last hedgehog, you’ll end up paying a hefty fine.
While $545 is a pretty steep […]
It doesn’t take long to figure out I don’t have a green thumb.
One quick look at the window sill where my few pitiful potted plants reside shows my sheer lack of intuitive human/plant interaction. Only the heartiest greenery survives my care.
There may be a rescue in sight for my not-so-green house plants.
It’s the Digital Pot. […]
Who doesn’t love some gross humor.
Come on, admit it. The lowbrow can still be funny.
We were taught this at an early age thanks to the folks at Topps who produced Wacky Packages stickers.
You remember don’t you. A pack of stickers with parodies of actual products available on the local grocer’s shelves reformed into a panoply […]
There’s nothing like looking back at society through the snapshots of the people.
I can spend hours scrolling through vintage photos and wondering how the lives of the people depicted were different from mine or just same as what I go through.
If you enjoyed Tracy’s earlier link to vintage photos here at Pop Fi, you’ll certainly […]
I have to admit I’m anxious to get to play with the new Wii Fit.
The stand-on board from Nintendo looks like a real test of balance and, considering I’m not the most graceful, it will be a challenge.
One thing about the Fit, I don’t imagine the big white rectangle will be turned into a […]
