Robbing with Roses?

Apparently the Troll in Central Park isn't the only one with a green thumb...this man is breaking hearts... and bank accounts:

"NEW YORK – New York City's bouquet bandit has a green thumb. Police said Tuesday that a man wanted for robbing a Manhattan bank while armed with a bouquet of flowers has struck before — using a potted plant.

On Monday, police released a security photo of a man holding fresh flowers that were neatly bundled in pink tissue paper and plastic. Hidden inside the arrangement was a note demanding $50 and $100 bills and a message for the teller, "Don't be a hero."

On July 10, police say the same man appeared at another Manhattan bank, holding a threatening note under a leafy plant and handing it to a teller. He reached over the counter grabbed the cash before he fled, leaving the plant behind.

He is still at large."

Um, did he have a gun? Why would they give him the money? This man is an idiot, but the people who let him go are just as faulty. You work at a bank. You should know how to deal with these situations. What is he going to do, throw pollen at you? Maybe there's a bee hidden in the flower that will sting you?
I wish my prom date would have done this with my parents... the after party would have been a lot more fun.

"Yeah, when pigs- holy shit, what is that?!"


This is a Russian company's newest advertising campaign....
They sent a donkey parasailing through the air, trembling! Not my idea of animal rights... definitely cruel. Afterwards they reported he was fine, though experiencing "Shell Shock".... umm, so you sent him in the air and THEN out to war?!! In the words of Bob Habeeb, what the hell is wrong with those Pinko Commies?!

I hope these people know they are making asses of themselves. Badum CH

Aliens Exist



This Bosnian man is holding up a meteor. However, in his opinion, this is NOT a meteor. It is a weapon used to attack him by extra-terrestrials.

Since 2007, Radivoje Lajic has had six meteors fall upon his roof. He has had to have a steel girder reinforced roof installed to protect him from what he believes are aliens attacking him.

In his own words,
"I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit six times has to be deliberate. I have no doubt I am being targeted by aliens. They are playing games with me. I don't know why they are doing this. When it rains I can't sleep for worrying about another strike."

I hope the aliens didn't read this article, cause if they did, they're probably PISSED. Expect the next meteor when the bell tolls one!

When I was in Edinburgh, Scotland we went on a "Haunted Tour" and our tour guide talked about this guy. He was reading vampire books and had convinced himself that he was a vampire. When he got into a verbal disagreement with his roommate over a woman this guy was in love with (who was the main female character in these vampire books), he wound up killing him and drinking his blood. The story our tour guide told us was a bit different from the story in this article, though.

I'm surprised they didn't think this guy was crazy. I'm no expert, but when you think you are a vampire and drink someone's blood, I wouldn't necessarily call you sane.

Then again, I'm no expert ;)

Weird Inventions


I never leave home without one.



Biggest Swiss Army knife ever. I have a hard time believing this is real.


"Sorry I'm late for work, boss. Those subway chin rests are so damn comfortable I missed my stop sleeping."


I think I saw this in a fashion show once.


Not that strange, but funny lookin'. If I were their neighbors I wouldn't have it.


This actually looks pretty useful.

Shrunken Pet Head Amulet

This is a Craigslist post that I found:

"Have the love of your life by your heart forever. I will shrink your pets head to the size of an amulet. You can then wear it on a chain or leather strip and have them by your heart forever. I can give you more details if you would like, just ask. Freeze the head for later or I can do it with a freshly removed head. Final results vary depending on size of pet as well as hair length. ALL this for a small fee of $100 or trades considered. "

A few questions come to my mind reading this:
-Who in their right mind would go out in public with a shrunken head around their neck?
-What is a leather strip?
-What do you trade with someone who shrinks pet heads for a living?

Shrunken heads are the creepiest things ever. The only time I've ever seen a shrunken head and not cringed is watching Beetlejuice or the Mario Bros movie.

Womerns Likes That

A friend of mine recently turned me onto Unknown Hinson, a "Country Western Vampire Troubadour." Real name Stuart Baker, a music teacher and musician from North Carolina, is also the voice of Early Cuyler on the Adult Swim cartoon series "Squidbillies". He has made a few albums of country western music, and his songs are parodies of the redneck culture and the old fashioned southern view of life. He rarely tours outside of his hometown. Maybe an occasional show in Alabama or another southern state.

Lucky for my friends and I, he'll be in Ohio August.

Here's a taste of some of his silly, bizarre tunes. It's the music video for his single "Venus Bound".




Enjoy.

Urinal in Hamilton



Urine for a surprise if you walk into this bathroom in restaurant The Honest Lawyer in Hamilton... well, not really, anymore. They are made by a company called "Kisses!" Urinals in the Netherlands, and shortly after an American woman saw an image of the wor in a magazine, there was a giant outcry of digust to have these urinals removed. People believe it is extremely offensive that men are peeing into women's mouths.

The article below shows that the company who manufactures these urinals referred to it as "one target men will never miss." The funny thing is, the person who designed these urinals is, in fact, a woman. She claims that when she designed them the thought never ran through her head that people would be peeing into women's mouths... and that people just like the "cartoonish looking mouth".


Honestly, I thought this idea was pretty funny. It's an interesting way to put a spin on a bathroom, that's for sure. If I owned a mansion and needed bathrooms with urinals for house parties, I would give these guys a ring. When I first saw it, I didn't even begin to think of it as offensive, but now I suppose I can see where some ladies may. And now you can't find them in a restroom anywhere- though you might see one in the bathroom of R. Kelly's house.

I attached the link for the article about it down here if anyone is interested in reading more.
