Wisconsin Takes Away Citizen's Right to Murder Own Lawn Mower
Topic: Weird Shit

Police in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have decided that you no longer possess the right to shoot your own property.  While drunk.  With an illegal weapon.

Keith Walendowski (hooray, he's Polish! - ed.) was arrested on charges of felony possession of a saw-offed shotgun and misdemeanor disorderly conduct after a woman staying in his house alerted the authorities that a drunk Walendowskiskiskiski brandished a shotgun and sent to hell his non-starting Lawn Boy mower.  With the charges he faces, Walenskiskiskiskiskiski could face up to an $11,000 fine, plus a possible three months in prison.

Walskiskiskiskiskiski's defense?  "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

Damn right!  If you lived in Texas, that is.  But not Wisconsin.

This brings up the valid point of when will people with guns realize that they're better off living in Texas?  Ah, Texas, where you're allowed to shoot whatever it is the hell you want anytime you damn well please.  Just as long as your gun is legal.  Or in your yard at the time you're shooting whatever it is has raised your ire.

Hell, we're about to go blow away a hackberry tree growing behind our house with a .357 magnum just because it blocks the view from our bathroom window to the hot neighbor's bedroom.  We mean, it's screwing up our house's foundation.  Yeah, that's it...

Hardcore Gambler Pops Out Kid at Penny Slots; Thought It Was Just Gas
Topic: Weird Shit

A woman who just could not seem to get her head out of winning the ability to pay her phone bill at the Resorts Atlantic City casino plopped a baby out on the floor beneath her stool, never breaking her stride on the penny slots.  The woman reportedly told paramedics and onlookers that she thought the labor pains were just bad gas.  Fucking eww.

But seriously, she did think the labor pains were gas before going to the bathroom, from which she emerged a short time later to tell a security guard she thought she was giving birth.  The guard, no shit, laughed at her, until her water broke five minutes later.  Then he had to completely bite his tongue and help deliver the premature bundle of casino magic, which is currently doing fine.

This is a lesson to all of you chronic gamblers.  Learn from the kids at the prom and just leave your babies in the toilets, because you can't win that rent money if you're in the hospital.

What the Anus? Naked Man Arrested for Carrying Concealed Weapon
Topic: Weird Shit

A Pittsburgh man proved that humans are capable of anything in the name of pleasure, as he was arrested recently after being found naked on top of a tree stump, pleasuring himself in the cold morning air.  But the story gets weirder.

As the police began to question the nude man, he admitted that he had a 6-inch metal punch shoved up his ass, which caused the officers, who had just confirmed that the man was a recently paroled ex-con, to draw their weapons and call the fire department.  You know, because firefighters have a month of "pulling things out of people's asses" training.

Regardless, the man sure enough removed a half foot metal awl that was wrapped in electrical tape, which makes us think that he had merely forgot to remove it when he was releases from prison, which could just be an honest mistake.  Good luck, naked convict with something shoved up your butt.  You'll land on your feet some day.

Vagrants Steal Dennis the Menace Statue; Bart Simpson Suspected
Topic: Weird Shit

A three-foot-tall Dennis the Menace statue worth approximately $30,000 was stolen by unknown suspects from its Montgomery, California, home on Wednesday or Thursday last week.  Police currently have no idea who could have walked off with the 125-lb. bronze sculpture, but are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to its return.

We're expecting Milhouse Van Houten to turn in one Bart Simpson any day now.  Also, Judge Harm will probably throw the book at him.  Christ we watch too much TV.

NY Funeral Home Directors Off to Jail for Organ Snatching; Own Horror Movie Coming Out Soon
Topic: Weird Shit

Seven funeral directors from outside of New York City and Rochester, New York, have pleaded guilty in a secret hearing on multiple counts from their admittal to having stolen multiple organs from recently deceased people and selling them to organ remittance services for a hefty profit.

Joining them will be a former oral surgeon, who made untold millions of dollars unloading the organs across the country, which infected multiple recipients, mostly because they're not fucking zombies and could not accept the dead tissue.

Included in the case is the director of the funeral home which removed organs from late Masterpiece Theater host Alistair Cooke's body.  The district attorney had the right idea when he called the removal of skin, organs and bones from corpses "something out of a cheap horror movie."

Of course, if this were our movie (thank god it's not - ed.), the victims would come back to life to eat and rip apart the seven directors who did this to them.  The film would end with Alistair Cooke shoving an oversized leather-bound book down the throat of the owner of the biomedical tissue service.  Pure genius.  Make us an offer, Hollywood.  Make us an offer.

Transexuals Crash Chinese Ethnic Minority Games
Topic: Weird Shit

The Chinese Ethnic Minority Games came to a screeching halt after a group of cross-dressing transexuals kicked off mob violence throughout the games, which were meant to celebrate the athleticism of China's 55 different minority groups.  After noticing that the winning team in something called the "dragon-boat race" were composed of overly large women with adam's apples as large as their testicles, minority groups from around the country quickly turned the games into a scene of mob violence, proving that America is not the only country that hates cross-dressers.

However, coaches were still touting their athletes after the blood-shedding ended, saying that despite the fact that their women lacked balls, this did not make them any less of stellar, shat-upon minority sports nobodies.

Columbia Changes From coke for Coke to Guns for Guitars
Topic: Weird Shit

Columbian musical instrument manufacturer Luis Alberto Paredes has begun a brand new and totally kickass program in which he is using former guerilla AK-47s to create a new series of rosewood electric guitars.  Paredes said that every single musical axe will be made from a once-used fully automatic rifle.

"This used to hit a target at 800 meters (yards)," Paredes said holding up one of the guitars which still has a Kalashnikov rifle's distinctive, banana-shaped magazine. "Now the target will just depend on the concert stage."

Now the musician and instrument creator is working with the UN to receive decommissioned AKs which have had all of their moving parts welded together to stop him from using them on dogs, cats and his groupies.  And now musicians from across Columbia have announced that they're going to use Paredes' odd creations in a live concert that will help promote peace and possibly safe gun use, but we're only guessing about the second part of that.

Malaysia Has a Space Program!?
Topic: Weird Shit

When next year's Malaysian astronaut attempts not to explode in outer space in a Russian-made rocket, he will also attempt something even more dangerous: making boiling hot tea inside the multi-million dollar tube full of wiring and things that explode.

"The physics experiment is to see what happens to teh tarik in space," Haniff Omar, head of Malaysia's astronaut selection program, said. 

What is interesting is that not only will this be the first time that a Malaysian is in space, but that they'd think it would be fun and neat and all that to make a pot of boiling hot tea that has been known to burn people on Earth... where there is gravity... because it's extremely difficult to make... on the ground.  Malaysians are stupid, yo.

Australian Hookers Taking the "Suck" Out of Gas Prices
Topic: Weird Shit

Are you a horny Australian man whom has just spent way too much money filling up your Ute or similar vehicle?  Well then take your receipt to either The Site of Madame Kerry's brothel for a 20 percent discount on their wide (no pun intended - ed.) selection of prime chippy.

"If you come in and spend time with one of our lovely ladies, we'll give you a discount of 20 cents a liter," Kerry, manager of Sydney brothel The Site, told Reuters Wednesday.

With sessions starting at $150AU for 30 minutes, the discount can come (again, no pun intended) to $30.  Now, The Site has taken out ads in newspapers and magazines offering the discount, which, according to Kerry, has increased not only more johns, but media exposure.  Once again, Australia trumps all with its legal, and now discounted, hookers.

Man With Two Penises Decides to Have One Removed, Not Make Gobs of Money in Porn
Topic: Weird Shit

An Indian man with a very rare case of diphallus, or having two wangs, has decided that he is going to have one of them removed so that he can get married and "live a normal life," or some crap like that.

What makes the 24-year-old's case so odd is that both penises are completely formed, functional, and sizable, meaning that this guy could've been a pornography star.  So now it's up to doctors, who aren't quite sure how they're going to accomplish the surgery, since both penises are so well formed and working.

But they had better hope they don't screw up, because god help that poor man if he goes from having two penises to a single vagina because of a botched operation.

Women in War Zones Should Get Breast Implants; We Support This
Topic: Weird Shit

More evidence was laid in stone recently proving that women with breast implants will live longer.  An Israeli woman who was near the explosion of a Lebanese rocket was saved when the shrapnel from the blast penetrated her chest, but instead of destroying her organs, were caught in the sweet buttery goodness of her huge honkin' implants.

The shrapnel was stopped in the middle of the silicon implant, just inches from her heart.  So for all of your women in war zones (or perhaps the downtowns of major cities - ed.), look into fake jugs.  They just might save your life.

Three Luckiest Mexican Fisherman Ever Found Alive at Sea After 11 Months!
Topic: Weird Shit

Three Mexican fisherman who were thought to be dead have been found by a Taiwanese fishing crew more than eleven months after they vanished.  They were picked up over 5,000 miles away from their home city of San Blas.

The story of their ordeal begins two days after they left San Blas out into the Pacific Ocean on their twin-engine trawler.  According to the survivors, both engines broke down and they spent the next few weeks attempting to rebuild one engine with parts from the other as they floated further and further out into sea.

Two of the five man crew jumped overboard early into the trip and are thought to be dead.  At least they didn't have to bear with eleven months of barely any food and water, because we'd gnaw our mother's leg if we were hungry enough.  Reports that this was caused by angered otters or fish with human teeth have not been confirmed.

Hot Dogs Could Fundamentally Alter Your DNA!
Topic: Weird Shit

Researchers from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha have discovered a link between hot dog consumption and altered DNA in people, which could lead to a strange form of cancer.  Specifically, colon cancer, which we kind of expected, since everytime we've eaten more than one hot dog, our colon has felt like a train was smashing through it.

Scientists believed this link to be valid even before the study because of the preservative sodium nitrate which is used in high quantities in the weiners and can also contain N-nitroso compounds that have been a direct cause of cancer in lab rats.

However, the scientists still aren't going to conclude that eating hot dogs will turn you into some sort of strange cancer-ridding freak who lumbers across the Earth looking for brains or something.  They're just saying their could be a link.  So good news for Nathan's, which can continue to hold their annual July 4th hot dog eating competition.  We wouldn't want to take away from those fine athletes or anything...

Horny Male Sea Cows Fight Over One Heifer; People Crowd Around to Laugh and Point
Topic: Weird Shit

A group of ten horny manatees entertained a large group of spectators in Longboat Key, Florida, after chasing a female into shallow water and duking it out for her affection, proving once again just how similar manatees are to drunken guys in a bar.

"It's cool and funny at the same time," said Megan Blasberg, 11, who was among the crowd that gathered to watch the spectacle Thursday. "They're all like fighting with each other."

Scientists believe that the group followed the weary female into the shallow water but obviously didn't understand what she meant when she said "no."  Just like drunken guys in a bar.

Brazilian Man Teaches Us How Not to Disarm a Bomb
Topic: Weird Shit

That title is not entirely true, but we did not want to ruin the kicker of one of the funniest stories we have ever heard.

A man in Rio de Janeiro was killed on Tuesday in his workshop when he tried to open up an unexploded RPG (rocket-propelled grenade - ed.) with a special tool.  That tool?  An eight-pound sledge hammer.

The "victim's" entire workshop was destroyed in the ensuing blast and multiple cars that were parked outside were severely damaged.  A friend who was inside the building at the time is currently in the hospital with severe burns.  When police arrived on the scene of the accident, they found multiple RPG's which they reckon had been brought to the workshop to be sold for scrap metal.

This is more proof that despite what you see in cartoons, a hammer is not always the be-all, end-all tool to fix anything from refrigerators to round bombs with burning fuses.

Parallel Parking Kills!
Topic: Weird Shit

A 15-year-old girl in New Jersey slammed into her mother with the family car during a driving lesson while she was attempting to learn how to parallel park, causing massive internal injuries and pinning her under the Suburban.  She later died on the scene after being trapped beneath the massive SUV for hours.

Police said no criminal charges would be filed since the accident was on private propoerty, and that what most likely happened was that the daughter hit the gas instead of the brake.  This is a lesson to other parents in America who are attempting to teach their children how to drive.

DON'T.

They have low paid professionals and companies that can do this for you, thus alleviating the risk of death for you or your spouse.  While this is of course a tragic accident, we can only say that this poor girl will undoubtedly be taking the bus everywhere for quite sometime.

Frozen Dead Dog; It's What's for Dinner in Germany
Topic: Weird Shit

When we moved into our latest apartment three years ago, the complex tried to start our stay here on an epic level, by loading up our fridge with a quart of milk, a frozen pizza, and two slices of bread.  A woman in Germany who moved into her new apartment found an equally packed refrigerator, except she had better unpack her pots and pans, because she received a dead, frozen canine in her freezer.

The popsi-dog belonged to the previous tenant, who claimed that the greyhound had died of natural causes and that he had simply not had time to give it a proper burial and promptly forgot about the body.  This would make sense, if the man was a cracked out druggie who somehow forgot that he had placed a dead animal inside his freezer.

"Sweetheart, could you get me some sherbert?"

"Sure honey.  Where is it?"

"Look behind the dog in the freezer.  You should see it."

BetUS.com Takes Wagers on Castros Life or Death; We're Putting all Our Money on Black, Because Black Always Wins
Topic: Weird Shit

Internet gambling site BetUS.com has begun to take bets on whether Cuban dictator Fidel Castro will die from complications fromthe surgery he underwent earlier this week.  Over 3,000 bets have been placed, with the stakes depending on whether the dictator will die in September or October.

"We don't want to profit on someone's death. But Castro is unique," said Christopher Bennett, media relations director for BetUS.com.  "I personally wrestled with it. But ... this could have a huge effect on economics, foreign policy, trade. It's more than just someone passing away."

This is the same company that has taken bets on whether or not Britney Spears was with child and if Jimmy Hoffa's body will be found or not.  Apparently, BetUS.com was started by a bunch of dudes sitting around playing Xbox on a Saturday night.  We did this stuff in college, so we can officially say that we're going to this site to place a bet right now.

Irishman Accidentally Starts First Ever World Strip Poker Championship
Topic: Weird Shit

The Irish have always had the ability to shock and astound us with the measures of insane thinking that they have always reached.  When Paddy Power (seriously, that's the guys goddamn name, not an Irish joke - ed.) was thinking of possible April Fools Day jokes, he thought of creating a fake tournament to get people excited and then simultaneously crush their spirits.

And the World Strip Poker Championship was born.  However, Power did not think about the type of rabid excitement that a large group of his fellow drunken countrymen would show for a chance to see possibly one woman naked among 199 men.

So now, the official tournament kicks off on August 19 in London, with the winner receiving a golden fig leaf trophy and over 18 grand in cash.  Somehow we doubt this will be shown on ESPN 8: The Ocho.

Vengeful Raccoon Takes Out Power to 3,000 Floridians
Topic: Weird Shit

A kamikaze raccoon, angry at humans for putting lids on their trashcans and running over his brethern, decided to strike back on his Florida neighbors, as he chewed through a power cord and took out the electricity to nearly 3,000 residents in the Kissimmee area.

While the coon died in his strike against the human race, his act did take out power to the area for a half hour, showing all other nocturnal animals that if one little cute furball can do such damage, then perhaps the rest can rise up and knock over every trashcan in the state, or destroy the paint on every vehicle on the road, or perhaps clog the highways completely, causing a standstill that would never end.  Smart little bastards.
