If you’ve ever had any doubts that some people are not only without brains, but they’re also without any sense (you’ll note I didn’t say common sense, there ain’t no such thing anymore. sense isn’t common at all.) or compassion. The story of a woman facing federal charges over a soda that she refused to pay for and then dumped on the counter will convince you.

I can’t help but wonder just exactly what some of these parents were thinking when they decided to saddle a kid with a name like “Number 16 Bus Shelter”.

I know it sounds ridiculous but apparently they actually did it. The “High Heel-a-thon” was held last Wednesday, July 9th. The way Kelly Ripa was talking about it on GMA, it apparently was supposed to be some kind of an answer to the traditional marathon. No, I am not a hamster, I [...]

There’s a guy in Denver that wants the city to be prepared for the arrival of space aliens. He’s so serious about it that he’s proposing an 18 member commission to deal with that eventuality.

I have to say that when I saw this on Yahoo’s Odd News I’m glad I wasn’t drinking at the time. I hate having to clean the monitor and keyboard after spraying coffee all over everything.
Florida Sen. Carey Baker has introduced a bill that would ban Metal replicas of bull testicles as bumper ornaments. [...]
