Patrickl's whacky news

[patrickl]

Lol, I didn't ask for the thread to be stickied. Must be the Jizm then 

I have more whacky news though 

London News: Shocking x-ray pictures show how teenage boy cheated death after being stabbed in the head in Walworth

[ChadTower]

That kid's skull must be made of tissue paper.

[saint]

I was hoping this would become a regular feature.

[ChadTower]

Damn, now we're all gonna need helmets.  tommy was right.

[saint]

Heh.

[patrickl]

Sure, when I find something whacky I'll keep posting it here. I figured it would go to the top when I post something anyway.

Drunk woman gets arrested while wearing a cow suit telling people to "Suck her udders!" 

Udder Madness 'Jersey' girl hit with 'moo'ving violation in Ohio

Holy cow, this Ohio woman is an udder disgrace!

 


More wacky animal news,

Meet Yoda the cat with FOUR ears




and even more wacky animal news. Hope this isn't too gross, but it was on a major dutch newspaper:

I knew some people have a perverted sexual taste, but when they start gangbanging a rhino ... They even drugged her to make her more agreeable. "Otherwise", the vets claimed, "rhinos can be aggressive"

They'll know in a few weeks if they actually got her pregnant


Luckily there were no pictures of how they got the semen from the male rhino.

[patrickl]

OK, this is just insane. A guy cuts in line at McDonalds and a 16 year old girl complains. The hero punches the guy in the face. Bizarre (and wacky)

Disgusting detail, the man is walking with 2 small children who I assume are his kids.

[patrickl]

More in line with the "ghost in the gym" item, now people have spotted Mary in a window of a hospital in Springfield. It looks like an ordinary oil stain or something from the picture, but it's not.

Crowd again gathers where some see image of Virgin Mary



Image gallery at NBC

Apparently Mary is here to comfort the population of Springfield in these tough times.

[RayB]

That's no virgin. That's a slutty* busty blonde in a tube top!

*edited for accuracy

[patrickl]

That's no virgin. That's a busty blonde in a tube top!

Busty blonds can be virgins too

BTW Elvis is NOT dead. He's been spotted on the Dutch airport Schiphol checking his passport.

I hope the kids parents gave him a double time out for this and take away his TV privileges for at least three days.

About the Iranian ship:
The thing we really need to be worried about is that it was heading for Amsterdam.

It gives me the same uncomfortable feeling that I had when I was walking on top of the roof of Schiphol (Amsterdam) airport and noticing an Iran Air airplane there. Sorry but I don't feel comfortable about planes from such countries flying around here.  But then again, we've got a number of F16's always on standby.

About the passport hacking:
That's the system that was forced upon us by the US government right ?

Feels very safe !

Lol yeah, it was supposed to be carrying "iron ore" from China to Amsterdam. Maybe it stopped in Iran somewhere along the way already?

I'd say American airplanes are more dangerous. They're the one who get hijacked or blown up most aren't they?

A few weeks ago a couple of Apache helicopters came thundering over my house. On their way to Schiphol. That's an eerie sight too.

I thought the EU was behind that? Although I guess the US is pushing to get it implemented quickly.

I would assume the US passport can be hacked just as easily. Actually, the US seem to rely on even less secure measures (for foreigners entering the country). They took my fingerprint last time I was there. If there is something that's easy to hack then it's a fingerprint scanner.

The Ig Nobel award goes to a researcher who found out that Coca Cola is a spermicide and that it kills the AIDS virus.

Yahoo News: Spermicide Coke, stale chips research wins Ig Nobels

Deborah Anderson of Boston University Medical Center and colleagues were awarded the chemistry prize for a 1985 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that found Coca-Cola kills sperm.

She said she was serious in testing the soft drink because women were using it in a ---meecrob--- as a contraceptive and, later, to try to protect themselves from the AIDS virus.

Not sure why they would award the prize for a study published in 1985 though.

Other winners included physicists who found out that anything that can tangle, will tangle and a team of biologists who ascertained that dog fleas jump farther than cat fleas.

That's whacky research 

More "scientific research"; Chinese zoo keepers are feeding the Panda's chicken soup to help them regain their strength and get ready for colder weather. Guess my grandma was right about the chicken soup after all 

AP: Chinese pandas fed chicken soup for health

They had been getting less sleep, and they had to run around more," he said. "We felt it would be good to give them the soup because they were fatigued and had a bit of a shock."

Reflecting the Chinese tradition of drinking slow-cooked chicken soup for health, the zookeepers boiled roosters in water overnight and added a pinch of salt to the concentrated stock.

[patrickl]

Came across this link with 25 wacky signs  :

Don’t say we didn’t warn you: 25 wacky warning signs

Liking to the crocodile story, "Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy". Maybe the Australian zoo gave it an espresso and a handfull of lizzards?

Israel.

[Level42]

Yeah, we've had some bad experiences with Israeli planes......

I loved that bear warning sign. Read it all, definitely worth it

[patrickl]

My then brother in law lived in the building where the Israeli El Al 747 flew into. Talk about whacky news. He called all the relatives to say that a small plane had flown into the building, but that he was OK. So we turn on the news to see what happened and they tell us that a 747 struck the buidling. It hit only a few appartments away from him. Now that sends a chill down your spine. He was lucky the plane came in "knife edge".

[patrickl]

Didn't see so much wacky news lately, but I found some more wacky pictures.

I found a picture thread with the 10 Creepiest Old Ads. Especially the last one is spooky.

Also a thread of 10 Incredible Old Computer Ads. I'm still sorry I lost an old science magazine with an advertisement of a calculator that could calculate a square root in "less than a minute". It's amazing how fast things evolve.

Who wants to bet that chick in the VD ad is someone's ex-wife?

I am a big fan of reading this thread while I am at work w/ all the weird news from around the world. I think you are brilliant Patrick.

Here in the US I dont know if you guys heard about the girl Natalie "Dylan" who is selling her virginity on the Howard Stern show. The lucky guy and her will get to do the business at the Bunny Ranch in Texas I think it is

http://streetknowledge.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/wtf-girl-sells-her-virginity-on-howard-stern-show-for-college/

I forsee this to become some sort of trend now...i mean im a chick and ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I think if i was getting offered tons of $ I would have to sell mine too lol

And I am sure you guys already heard about the weird chick that is going to smoke Kurt Cobain's Ashes at some Art festival in Germany? -.-

Heh thanks. yeah I read this nonsense all over the internet and if I find it funny I think someone here might like it too

Yeah I posted a thread about that one a while ago: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=84351.0

I thought it was utterly bizarre too. Then a few weeks later I saw the movie "Memoires of a Geisha" where the gheisha auctions off her virginity too. Apparently this was pretty normal in Japan back then.

And I am sure you guys already heard about the weird chick that is going to smoke Kurt Cobain's Ashes at some Art festival in Germany? -.-

Lol, no I hadn't.

ANyways ya gotta post lots of stuff for me to read while im at work ok?

[patrickl]

Just came across some "local" news that made me laugh:

Forum guy almost gets a heart attack telling other people to not take things so seriously.

Large font was used by author. Probably to express his "calmness"

If you dont like to REPLY to a QUESTION... then simply DONT READ THE
QUESTION!!!  AND DONT REPLY !!!

 ARE YOU SO ANAL THAT YOU CANT STAND A FEW FREAKING WORDS
ON A MESSAGE BOARD???!!!   Do you even comprehend how Idiotic that
is?!!   Basically... You who are like this... need some serious MEDICATION.

Yeah the "other" people are the ones who need medication

besides the the obvious logical flaw that you cannot not read a question that you didn't like ...

Ha, ha, that is Mighty Mouse   Seriously though, wouldn't that mouse be a tad too big for that tiny snake to eat?

Sophia Loren looks nice as a nun. Much better than Sally Field. I doubt there are many pretty nuns though. I lived close to a nun house and they all looked more or less like mother Theresa 

[patrickl]

Not so much wacky, but more like shocking news:

65 year old Australian doesn't agree with the way he is served his beer and ends up losing his live over it.

Tourist Bashed to Death by Waiters for Being 'Arrogant'

Guess things like that happen all the time, but still never ceases to amaze me that stuff like it happens.

[patrickl]

OK, not to turn this into a "celeb does something stupid thread", but Jamie Lynn Spears is Pregnant Again!   (original National Enquirer link which doesn't work right now)

Women get pregnant all the time, but the wacky part is that she just had a baby 3 or 4 months ago and herself is only 17 years old. Actually that still isn't the wackiest. Also not to turn this into a pro-life/abstinence vs sex education discussion, but apparently:

“Jamie Lynn believed she couldn’t get pregnant while she was breast-feeding.”

 “She’d expected to have her period by early September.   A home pregnancy test came back positive and Jamie Lynn cried her eyes out. “

 

[patrickl]

More dumb blond women news:

Woman sues over wrong hair color

A blond womand sues L'Oreal for turning her into a brunette. She argued that the wrong dye which caused her hair to turn dark brown had caused her to get on medication because of her emotional distress.

"I can never go back to my natural blonde hair," she complains. "I feel fake about that. Also blondes do get more attention than brunettes, of course, emotionally, I miss that."

[ChadTower]

And to think... that chick is going to get lots of cash for her virginity but Britney Spears' little sister gave it away for an Arby's value meal.  Talk about a lost financial opportunity.

[RayB]

“Jamie Lynn believed she couldn’t get pregnant while she was breast-feeding.”

That's not all that wacky. If (and I stress, big *IF*) a woman breast feeds, using both of her feedbags, continuously and with regularity, certain hormones are maintained that prevent ovulation. Any disruption in that schedule though and... well, J. L. Spears knows the rest. 

[shardian]

Like Ray said, a woman has to breast feed hardcore for it to be a contraceptive.

It makes ovulation less likely/less frequent. That's not the same as it being a contraceptive.

It makes ovulation less likely/less frequent. That's not the same as it being a contraceptive.

It is a clinically studied phenomenon, and has a 99% effectiveness if the schedule is followed STRICTLY. 19 months and counting for my wife, and no new babies (and it ain't for lack of trying).

Lol, well I looked it up and indeed it's more effective then I thought when she ONLY breastfeeds, also does this during the night and then it's still only 98% effective for the first 6 months. In reality women don't only breastfeed and you try to get your baby to sleep through the night. 19 months seems longer than 6 months too.

My wife was breast feeding, but she started ovulating in 3 months or so. Jamie Lynn was breastfeeding and (rumor has it that) she became pregnant after 3 or 4 months
