Shark attacks man in his own bedroom

I have 2 shark jaws on my wall, each as fearsome as this. They came from a 6′ and 9′ bronze whaler shark, one I cut from the shark’s head 35 years ago. I still remember how hard it was to do ….

But of course I was not a fucking stupid as this lad. I put them somewhere were they would not be subject to nocturnal interactions. They are safe on my office wall, looking at me now. Beautiful things. Not grotesquely set in kitsch some fiberglass shell of a head.

Of course, being mostly on the wall did not stop one girl getting her head stuck in one when my daughter took it for show and tell at school.  All ended well, the jaw was undamaged and she only needed three band aids and some antiseptic wipes.

Belief in God is”childish superstition”

Albert Einstein was a pretty smart bloke I think we all agree, so his idea on God must be pretty smart a well, especially when he described belief in God as “childish superstition” and said Jews were not the chosen people.

Pointing to the real reason why the average US President is weak Einstein wrote:

“slurry of vomit (and) urine with large brown chunks”

One has to wonder about the things that go one in the minds of US college students - those who are going on to be that country’s leaders….

The Badger Herald (who thought up THAT name for a paper!) reports on one sick hazing prank…

One eye witness speaking on condition of anonymity, who is a member of the UW Greek community but not associated with Sigma Phi Epsilon, said the bucket contained a “slurry of vomit (and) urine with large brown chunks that could have been feces” and was dumped on three members’ heads. The source said he was standing across the street with an unobstructed view and could smell the contents of the bucket that made two of the students vomit. [Read more →]

Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden say that the number is set during adolescence and stays the same, regardless of obesity later in life.

The journal Nature reports how they tested patients who lost huge amounts of weight, and found little change in fat cell numbers.

Man almost pea’d to death

Death in a mire of dried pea, hmmm there must be better ways to go.

I guess that is what an unnamed man was thinking when he almost drowned to death in a silo of peas - he was rescued from a grain silo in Western Australia after being buried up to his neck in tonnes of peas.

It is not yet known if the man fell into the silo while it was being loaded or if the product was dumped on him while working inside.

Fat dude too big to get into courtroom

Seems a Suffolk County, N.Y.arraignment was held in the courthouse parking lot because the defendant was so fat he could not get into the courtroom.Bernard Musumeci, 44, who weighs in at about 500 pounds, sat in the passenger seat of his gray Ford F-350 truck with the window down while state Supreme Court Justice Robert Doyle reviewed the charges against him, New York Newsday reported Friday.

“The record should reflect that this arraignment is taking place in the parking lot of the courthouse,” Doyle said, “because of the severe weight problem this defendant has.”

Is Clinton more of a war monger than Bush?

Seems Hillary is really clutching at straws in her attempt to win the top poll spot for the White House with her insane threat to “totally obliterate” Iran if it were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.

Naturally the Iranians are pissed off and Iran’s deputy ambassador to the UN, Mehdi Danesh-Yazdisaid “The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its deep concern over, and strong condemnation of such a provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible statement against the Iranian nation and civilization.”
