Just check out the actual postings at F**kThatJob.com, whose motto is “my answer to employers taking advantage of folks having a hard time finding a job in this economy.” There are some great examples of jobs that should be paid a lot more, but are offered a lot less ($20,000/year for someone with an MCSE, IBM xseries experience, 5 years of experience, and a sales background, is REALLY low).

With sperm that big, it’s pretty easy to get pregnant
From Dave Barry: Judging from their logo, these people are cranking out sperm the size of mature walleyes.
Only a band geek will appreciate this

Man who heads group questioning circumcision says he’s “pissed”
Why am I posting this? Because I just love the irony in that he’s “pissed” about “circumcision.” Or maybe I’m just weird.
Man who swallowed $37,500 gem finally gives it up
In a follow up to a story earlier on this site, link from Obscure Store:
All week, officers poked through his bowel movements, but they didn’t find the gem until Friday — four days after the theft. “Some courageous volunteers went beyond the call of duty,” says a sergeant.
Remember, they couldn’t feed him a laxative, so they gave him greasy hamburgers to expedite the matter.
Man sues himself for $250,000
I only wish I were kidding. OK, maybe I am, as it is the Weekly World News that has the byline on this, but it just looks much more credible and serious as it’s on Yahoo’s site. The same story doesn’t look nearly as official on the WWN’s Online Edition.
If Google says it’s true, it must be
Because all know the French have never won a war.
A very well-done bit of satire.
Criminal asked to give the s**t back — literally
Link via Fark. Full story at this Chicago Tribune article (free registration required, so I’ll sum it up below). But here’s the story: A jewel thief walked into a jewelry store, and asked to see some expensive jewels. He picked one up and then started coughing and covered his mouth to cough. Then he returned the diamond. But it wasn’t the same diamond. It was a piece of junk. He had swallowed the expensive one. And the jeweler started screaming. They held him until the Chicago PD got there. But it was already internal.
Here’s the problem: They’ve got a suspect with a large 3-carat diamond worth $40,000 in him, but, according to the article, he can’t be charged until that diamond is recovered. It hasn’t moved through his digestive system completely, and doctors told police to not give him any laxatives as it could shoot the thing through there and cut up his intestines (where it’s currently lodged, according to X-rays).
But doctors said they could feed him.
So what do they do? They ordered some greasy White Castle sliders that should move the thing through. And they have appointed an officer to feed them to him.
That would be a crappy job.
What every human should know
From Dave’s Blog: Before the Internet, it was almost impossible for the average person to obtain this information.
Let’s go harass some puppies
Last week it was pigeons, this week it’s puppies that are getting chased around by a camera-welding RC car. The best part is that the puppy looks like he enjoys it a bit. From b3ta.
