I Couldn’t Make This Up

A woman in West Virginia called 911 on her cell phone after a camel sat on top of her while she was painting her fence. Full Story.

Poop Art

Only in New York’s auction houses could you bid on a white cube that had the artist’s feces on it. Thanks Barney for the link.

Virtually Pet A Chicken

Leave it up to some geek to invent a way to virtually pet a live chicken.

Random Google Results

Apparently I’m the number one result (just ahead of The Bulletin) for “software companies bend oregon.” I’m sure there are more if I actually look through my log files, but I just found that interesting that a post that’s over a year old and actually linking to something on Jon’s site is the number one result.

Breakdancing With No Limbs

This is one of the weirdest videos I’ve seen. According to b3ta, this condition was caused by the guy’s mom taking thalidomide when she was pregant:

In the 1960s, mum-ladies didn’t want the pain of morning sickness and turned to super-science to give them magic-drugs. Sadly it had the side effect of producing children with less limbs than the normally requisite four. Doesn’t stop them break-dancing though. See him go. Wheee!

It’s amazing that he can do what he does, but it’s just weird to watch.

How’d You Like This Job?

A group of scientists in Hong Kong spent five months from October last year measuring 148 ethnic Chinese volunteers aged between 23 and 93. What were they measuring? The size of their penises. Interesting tid-bit from the story: Germans have average lengths of about 3.4 inches, Chinese 3.33 inches, Israelis 3.27 inches, Turks 3.07 inches and Filippinos 2.89 inches. Italians were the longest at 3.54 inches, and Americans averaged 3.46 inches.

Death Metal Rock

But with parrots. Just listen to the disturbing MP3. Thanks Evan for the link.

Japanese Penis Festival

In Kawasaki, Japan, there’s a festival that happened last Sunday called the Kanamara Festival. From what my cousin (who is living over there) gathers, it’s a festival about sexuality and the penis. Just check out these scary pictures.
