Parties? Tonight? Any? The boys are en route!

Here’s a photo from the county of that guy who interviewed me for a newspaper article from Wyoming. At least, I think this is the place he’s from. I looked him up online, but who knows. In any event, I hope this is the place, because it seems like its a fucking awesome place to […]

This article is simply amazing. A guy armed with a sawed off shotgun broke into their house. In response, these two women offered him a ham sandwich, a bottle of rum, a shower and a shave, cash and their car keys. Five and a half hours later the guy got groggy and passed out. The […]

They take poetry seriously in Japan. Both a retiring Prime Minister, and a man sentenced to death for the nerve gas attacks wrote haiku (well, actually only one was a haiku), which were published in major newspapers. They also mention how kamikaze pilots would write haiku before their final mission. I once saw a book […]

Female wolf spiders like to eat unfamiliar males who try to mate with them.

Some guy almost got “busted” at the airport when his Ghostbusters costume in his suitcase set off bomb detectors. A great quote from the article: “People need to be careful about incorporating simulated bombs into their costumes.”

Traffic in Germany was stopped by […]

Some guy wrote a book where he read all the notes that people left at Benito Mussolini’s crypt. It seems that over the past ten years, he has seen a resurgence in popularity, and is becoming something of a folkloric deity to people who leave notes asking for his help in life, love and soccer. […]

Scientists in Washington has been experimenting with worms to make them live longer. They modify some genes, take out their sex organs, and bam
‘Moreover, when we removed the reproductive systems of these … animals, they lived six times as long as normal,’ they wrote. ‘Whereas the mean lifespan of wild type (unaltered worms) was 20 […]

This is an intense news story from Stockholm, where a skipper of a fishing boat grabbed and killed a shark to save his men:
“Captain Sigurdur Petursson, known to locals as ‘the Iceman’, ran into the shallow water and grabbed the shark by its tail. He dragged it off to dry land and killed it […]

This picture is awesome. It’s from some clip art thing.

I just wanted to post a nice letter that I got from a girl named Grace in response to my article about seeing ghosts. She has a little ghost story of her own, which is especially appropriate, seeing as today is Halloween!
Hello Tim, I am 12 years old, and I would like to tell you […]

A trio of rogue buffalo broke out of a packing plant in Montana and roamed about town.
“They stopped by a nursing home, ran through a park and visited Giant Springs Heritage Park before being herded into a pasture and shot several hours after the first report of them hitting the town.”
I like how they make […]

In Rio de Janeiro, they have deployed a 50 member police force to patrol the beaches wearing nothing but swimsuits, so that they look inconspicuous. What a hilarious country Brazil is. It seems like only 20 minutes before Hollywood turns this idea into a horrible tv show. In fact, they are probably are wrapping up […]

The world’s oldest person (according to Guiness) died in Japan. Of her, it says:
Born in 1887, when Japan was gradually opening up to the world after more than two centuries of isolation, Hongo was known for her love of “dancing” by waving her hands and for sleeping two days and then staying awake for the […]

Normally, I am all for the French, with their adamant anti-war stance, and their love of beautiful women and wine, but this business about them not liking Halloween is just silly. Halloween is awesome.
Admittedly, it seems to be a French Catholic move against the holiday, because the Christians love to try and bring down […]

Or at least, thats what the yahooligans over at Yahoo! News are trying to imply by pairing this photo with this article about how a reporter asked Rumsfeld in a Pentagon briefing recently if he had “lost his mojo”. He didn’t know if he had or not.

Okay okay. Maybe they didn’t beat him to death, but apparently a mob of Catholic highschool girls chased down a flasher, and then kicked his ass. Fantastic. I only wish they had been a crowd of Catholic highschool field-hockey players, because then they could have beaten him with those weird little sticks they have.
Looks […]

A story about a guy riding MetroNorth out of Grand Central on his way home, and he went to the bathroom on the train, accidentally dropped his phone in the toilet, then got his arm stuck down in there while trying to retrieve it. Then, they stopped the train, called the cops, and firefighters came […]
