Animal Vs. Animal

Two gruesome encounters: 1. Python vs. Aligator (0-0); and 2. Porcupine vs. Pitbull (0-1). You'd call a draw on the Python vs. Aligator bout, but the pitbull, although a winner, didn't get through unscathed.

Burp!

Play Video Games and Die

I guess if you do anything for 50 straight hours, you're going to kick the bucket.

Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play on-line games on Aug. 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said.

Maybe five years ago I would think this was a really cool way to go out, but now it's just plain dumb. Read here.

Diver Watches Finding Nemo Underwater

I really really like this movie, but this is just way too fanatical.

Lloyd Scott donned an antique diving suit to watch Finding Nemo on an 8ft x 6ft acrylic screen in the Atlantic Tank of the London Aquarium.

Schools of mackerel floated past the screen attracted by the colours and the lights, while the more retiring rays stayed close to the bottom of the tank.

Ghosts in the Machine

Yahoo and Google got attacked yesterday, and I thought my internet was down. I kept restarting my computer because neither one of the sites would load up. But if that isn't "out of whack" enough, Weblogs.com just suddenly decided to pull the plug on thousands of bloggers. And, if that isn't weird enough, Tim Berners-Lee, who is the reason why there are three letter "w's" before each url address, just received a $ 1.2 million prize for his invention 14 years later.

And, if that isn't strange enough, a new virus spreads via Bluetooth in your cellphones. It's not malicious yet, but it only takes a matter of time.

San Mateo, CA Bans Karaoke Bars

Says they are a "potential haven for prostitution, underage drinking, fights and robberies". Well, hell, 7-11's are too, but you're not closing them down are you?

They argue that it's hard to "enforce the law in private rooms". Tell me now it's not the bad singing, tell me.

Some opponents of the ban who testified before the vote argued that the private rooms offered poor singers a chance to sing a love song without fear of embarrassment.

"My voice is terrible," Walter Lei, a San Francisco bus driver, told the San Francisco Chronicle . "If I was singing here, everybody would run off."

The Prodigal Son

Good God!

He claims Ferdinand E. Marcos is his father. And he wants to follow in his footsteps by running for president next year.

Tranquilino B. Marcos, a physician, announced his candidacy at the Bayview Hotel in Manila on Friday after forming his own party, the Magkaisa sa Bagong Lipunan.

Marcos told reporters that his age, 61, makes him the former strongman’s eldest son. Ferdinand Marcos has three children by his wife, Imelda. Dr. Marcos said he was born out of wedlock in Maluod, Pangasinan, and that his mother was Genoveva Macaraeg Bumanlag.

“Former President Marcos was 25 years old when he met my mother. My family and I kept this a secret for so many years because we did not want to be involved in any kind of controversy,” Dr. Marcos said.

Who Is Bill?

Something I saw from someone else's site, but I forgot who. When I saw it, I kept thinking that somewhere out there someone has a video of me having a conversation with Kris Aquino and exchanging punches with Joshua.

Whatever this is, if it's not a hoax, it's freaky.

Robin Padilla in Bulletproof Vest

I've been getting a lot of comments on this one-line blog I put about a while back on Robin Padilla (Bad Boy) running for vice-mayor. Curious, I decided to find out how, and I did. When you search for "robin padilla" in Google, you get this blog on the first page, with the header: Comments on Robin Padilla for Vice-Mayor. Proof that voting on the Internet *is* the way to go!

Boy Has Flies Flying from His Balls

Via Metafilter, again, in the WTF? department:

Kolkata, June 24 (IANS) A 13-year-old boy whose bizarre ailment has a fly-like insect emerging out of him is far from being cured as doctors struggle to detect the source of the parasite. The fully-grown flies, as doctors described the parasites, have been emerging out of Chandan Goswami's genitals and flying off for more than two weeks now. Chandan, now receiving treatment at a state-run hospital in West Bengal's Burdwan district, is said to be suffering from a condition called myiasis, a disease seen mostly in Central and Latin America.

Boy Stuck in Ronald McDonald's Crotch; Soap Frees Him Eventually

Gasp!

Last week, his 4-year-old son, Joey, somehow got his head wedged in between the legs of a life-size, grinning fiberglass clown -- the fast-food chain's trademark -- at the Kooser and Blossom Hill roads McDonald's restaurant. The mishap triggered an ordeal that ended when employees finally lathered the 40-pound preschooler's head with liquid soap and slipped him out.

Joey emerged unscathed. Nonetheless, Roberts, 34, believes statues like this one, in which the figure is seated with legs crossed ankle over knee, ought to exiled. ``These things ought to be removed,'' he said.


Double Whammy

Hey, if I had a twin, I'd have as much fun.

The brothers, who were not named for legal reasons, operated in parks and playgrounds in Nuremberg until their arrest in July.

Dressed identically and choreographing their actions, the 17-year-old twins bullied children into handing over money, sweets and other items.

"They had a slick racket going," an investigator officer told Nuremberg State Court where the youths faced more than 200 charges related to their twin crime wave.

"One twin would confront a child and force the kid to run down a street where, on rounding a corner, it would come face-to-face with the other twin and freak out," he added.

Cruel and Unusual: Using Barney, Sesame Street, Metallica to Make Em Talk

Ahhh, I knew it. Barney and Sesame Street were in cahoots with Metallica all along, inducing POWs worldwide to cough up the password.

Wait.

The US's Psychological Operations Company (Psy Ops) said the aim was to break a prisoner's resistance through sleep deprivation and playing music that was culturally offensive to them.

Culturally offensive. Hmmm. Sesame Street is okay. But Barney is offensive period.

But, wait again.

However, human rights organisation, Amnesty International, said such tactics may constitute torture - and coalition forces could be in breach of the Geneva Convention.

Man With Head Says He Was Provoked Before The Deed

BERLIN (Reuters) - A man arrested after walking through town swinging the severed head of his sister-in-law by the hair told police she had provoked him, German prosecutors said on Wednesday. The 24-year-old man admitted stabbing the woman to death and cutting off her head with a 12-inch kitchen knife after a row, a spokesman at the prosecutors' office in the western city of Aachen said. "The man said he had been provoked before the deed," the spokesman said, but gave no details.

So, how do you piss someone off so bad that he'd kill you and cut your head off?

Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn on the Fellowship of the Rings?

Swiped from Baraita is this transcript (alleged) of audio commentary from Chomsky and Zinn on the Fellowship of the Rings.

A quote:

Chomsky: How do you think these wizards build gigantic towers and mighty fortresses? Where do they get the money? Keep in mind that I do not especially regard anyone, Saruman included, as an agent for progressivism. But obviously the pipe-weed operation that exists is the dominant influence in Middle Earth. It's not some ludicrous magical ring.

Speaking of Flying

Do you ever know exactly what goes on in the pilot cockpit? You never do.

Two pilots, both men, at Southwest Airlines may have the answer to this question after they were fired for apparently taking off their uniforms in the cockpit and flying a plane virtually naked.

No wonder the airline industry is going south.

The Dog That Won't Die

The story goes:

DOSHA WAS HIT by a car near her owner’s home on April 15. Next, a police officer shot her in the head to put her out of her misery. Then, presumed dead, she was put in a freezer at an animal control center.

Two hours later, when a veterinarian opened the door to the freezer, she was shocked to find Dosha, a 10-month-old of mixed-breeding, standing upright in a plastic orange bag, the equivalent of a human body bag.

Creepy ass-sh*t.
