You know, the Web is full of really oddball crap. Like these guys, who convince folks to do the “ultimate situp” which is, according to their site “When you convince someone that it’s impossible to do a sit-up whilst blindfolded, then apply an ass to their face.” And they’ve got a bunch of drunken idiots on video doing it.

Nintendo Tattoo
OK, that’s just freaky. This guy got a big tattoo on his chest of an old-school NES controller. The tattoo was drawn to make it look like the cord’s coming out of a hole in his chest.
Chocolate Beer
It’ll cost you $15/bottle, but Sam Adams now makes a Chocalate Beer.
The Worst Holiday Hazard?
Apparently exploding gravy tops the list which includes falls from rocking horses and tipsy party guests toppling downstairs.
Fallen Rapper PEZ prototypes
Somebody has way too much time on their hands. He tried to pitch his idea of PEZ dispensers that bore the faces of Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls and Easy E. He created some fairly impressive prototypes, sent them to PEZ, and even got a reply. Thanks Red B. for the link.
Cell Phone Broken?
It may be because your pants are too tight.
now comes a warning about tight pants.
A survey of 300 retailers in Sweden found that squeezing handsets into snug-fitting pants is the second leading cause of broken phones. Apparently, the phones simply can’t handle the pressure, and screens break or covers bend or crack.
To put it in perspective, tight pants break more phones than dogs, children, rain, snow, acts of forgetfulness and throwing phones to the ground in a rage…

Predictable News
There’s rarely a day that goes by where you couldn’t find an “old-lady/man mistakes gas-pedal for brake-pedal and runs automobile into immovable object” story. Heck, we even got on that news map when we had one in Bend a couple days ago. But a news story that is increasingly becoming more common: Man bites dog, type of stories (we’ve already had one of those locally).
Quote Of The Week
“I never even thought I’d come across meeting Mike Tyson, let alone having him on top of my hood.” Full Story.
Japan’s 2nd Largest Export?
Their largest export is cars that don’t suck, but their second largest is something that does.
Much of Japan was shocked earlier this year after the U.S. State Department listed the country as a prime destination for female sex slaves, but being the export powerhouse that it is, Japanese women selling their bodies overseas are making sure it’s not all one-way traffick, according to Spa! (12/14).
All They’re Missing Is The Pope
The “Title” field of this form seems a bit overly detailed to me, including generic titles such as “Mr.” “Ms.” etc…, but also others like “First Lieutient,” “Her Majesty,” “Khun Ying,” The Hon Justice,” and “Viscountess.” All told, there are 204 titles on the list. Link via the Daily WTF.
