By any chance, do you have an authentic medieval vampire hunting kit?  Well, if you do, Ripley’s Museum is willing to take it off your hands for a fair price.  Thanks in no small part to the Twilight explosion, vampires are big business now, and Ripley is in the vampire hunting kit business.  The kits, containing a gun, garlic, crosses, stakes, mallets, and silver bullets, among other thing, have become some of the most popular exhibits at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museums around the world, so they’re looking to add to their collection of 30 anti-vampire kits.

It’s the largest collection on display to the public of its kind, and they’re scouring auctions and antiques shops for more.  Just ask Edward Meyer, VP of Exhibits and Archives for Ripley’s:  “Vampire kits are very rare,” said Meyer.  “There are maybe a handful of them outside of Ripley’s and we’d like to acquire those as well.”

I’d like to make a Twilight vampire-hunting kit.  I’d put a CD of indie rock, unisex makeup, and a spray can of body glitter for trap-baiting purposes.  Add in a gun, a stake, holy water in a squirt gun, and a copy of Lost Boys (because Twipires hate good teenaged vampire movies).  Toss in an Edward Cullen-shaped target, and I think I’ve got myself a winner.

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.
