English artist and sculptor Maurice Agis has made a name for himself creating giant, walk-in sculptures that attract the old and young with their bright colors and large, inviting spaces that are designed for patrons to walk through. However brilliant his bounce-house creating abilities are, Agis has absolutely no concept for physics, as his latest creation became free of its moorings and took off 18 feet into the air, spilling out 15 people who were trapped inside and killing two women who fell to their death.
Agis's sculpture could have been an even more massive hit instead of garnering world wide acclaim as being full of idiocy, had he filled it with regular air instead of helium, which as anyone over the age of 5 knows is the cause of your Six Flag's balloon flying into a jet engine at 20,000 feet and also the reason your voice goes all squeaky when you inhale the wonderful gas.
We apologize for the length of the headline, but we're not fans of snakes. In fact, we hate them. So this story was a bit disconcerting when we heard that a 12-foot python swallowed a six foot electric blanket, cord, power box and all and then veternarians spent hours in surgery taking the blanket out of the snake, which they should've just shot in the head and dumped into a ditch.
A thief in Germany who stole a man's bicycle felt so bad for his criminal behavior that he sent the man 400 euros for the total cost in an anonymous letter that also contained a heartfelt apology. This thoughtful criminal also professed his sorrow at forgetting where he left the bike, or else he would have returned it instead of paying for the cost of the transport.
When Andrew Larkey looks into the eyes of your dog, he sees them thirst for more that simply your love. He sees them thirst for a new product that can either be described as genius or lunacy; Aqua Dog.
While we're not fans of the ACLU, we believe that there is a need for them every now and then throughout our history. However, the case we are going to be describing in a moment is one of those where human rights suits went way too far and have become a parody of themselves.
The Mexican currency has never been valued at a very high level. When we went to Tijuana at a young age, it was somewhere in the $1US equals some odd hundreds of pesos. Now it's roughly 52.20 pesos per dollar. So why are smugglers so interested in shipping the one peso coins overseas? Because the older coins contain high amounts of copper and nickel, making each coin worth about 3.50 pesos each, thus meaning a tidy profit.
Injuries can draw people together, and such is the case of Indian electrician Sambhu Roy, who's skull fell off Sunday, drawing thousands to see the man hold a piece of his own head.
Greek scientists have determined that a new breed of Greek super-mosquitoes are the result of pollution, smog and cramped living conditions in Athens, where the population of these massive blood suckers has soared, thanks to all the nooks and crannies where they can lay their eggs.
Borneo is perhaps one of the most highly inhabited places on the planet for rare, new and interesting species, including the giant Anacondas from Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid, which appear to have traveled from South America, their native land, across the Pacific Ocean and then up into Borneo just to mate (they're like salmon! - ed.).
A Canadian study has just come to the conclusion that the more older brothers a man has, the more likely he is to be a homosexual, proving that your brothers being dicks doesn't just make you a criminal anymore.
The good folks over at Sploid have discovered a video proving that bears have finally taken one of the last steps to becoming American cartoon icon Homer Simpson. After decades of stealing picnic baskets and drinking open bottles of beer, a video has appeared of a bear taking a nap in a hammock, rocking itself ever so gently.
A man in Germany is in some pretty big trouble after he lied to police about how a woman in his apartment died. Originally, he claimed that she choked to death while eating a sausage, but the problem is that if this were true, then she would be eating a whole fucking sausage, because that's what was rammed down her throat.
A class of Florida criminology students working in a staged murder scene for their high school class found the real corpse of a dead homeless man who was lying up against a wall in a certain area of the course.
Researchers attempting to save a duck's life noticed after an x-ray was taken of the duck that it appeared to have recently eaten an alien, or at least its head.
A young male baby born recently in China was born with a completely developed, fully functional third arm! Ahhhhhhhh!
Much like the Carpet Pisser in The Big Lebowski, violent gangs of thugs are breaking into South African homes and vandalizing homes, shitting on expensive rugs, and generally being unruly. The only difference between these gangs and the Carpet Pisser and his marmot? This gang is made of baboons.
Are two octogenarians responsible for the hit and run deaths of two homeless men to gather over $2 million in life insurance? It would appear to be so. The two women offered them shelter and an apartment for up to two years while using their signatures to open over a dozen insurance policies on each and naming themselves the beneficiaries.
In Dallas, it's not uncommon to find a convertible full of under 21 girls screaming and laughing while not wearing their seat belts and only covering their bathing suit area with a tank top and a pair of shorts. That's one of the reasons why we moved here. But listen up, hotties, because both of those things you so hate can save your life.
A Korean man broke into a woman's Tokyo house, took her money, tied her up, and then proceeded to give her an hours-long shoulder massage to keep her relaxed and calm until he could go use her ATM card.
A frighteningly obese man who was so depressed after killing two elderly people in a car accident finally finished his penance walk across America last evening, over one year after he began it. Steve Vaught also dropped 100 pounds during the approximately 3,000 mile trip, now weighing in at about 310 pounds. So he's still as big as a buffalo, but at least only as much as a heifer.
