You’ve seen those Allstate insurance commercials where they show these random accidents, basically plugging themselves as the company that can insure anything, and if it can happen, they can cover it, etc… . When I read this story, I think of those commercials.

In a bizarre series of events, an overheated bearing on a truck ended up burning down a Hazelton home Sunday.

West End Fire District Chief Randy Sutton said a semi truck traveling west on Interstate 84 lost its right front wheel when the bearing failed and it overheated.

The wheel rolled across the frontage road, hit the curb in front of the house, burst through a wall next to the front door and bounced down the stairs before coming to rest in the basement and igniting the fire, Sutton said.

All you have to do it get more sleep, and apparently you won’t get fat. Or something like that. Thanks Barney for the tip.

Green Bay Packer fans managed to convince the local Catholic church to change their service schedule so that they could watch the game. Full Story.

Only in Eugene would somebody think of putting Vodka in a Christmas tree to make it last longer. Anybody tried this? Thank’s Al for the link.

Designed by Oliver Beckert, the Aquariass is an $1,100 aquarium that works with real live fish that you can add on to your toilet. The aquarium doesn?t actually share a tank with the toilet, but you can guarantee there will be at least one visitor to your home who will be afraid to flush for fear of killing all the poor fish inside. And do you really want to have deal with that?

I don’t think I could use the potty with fish swimming around watching me. It’d be like the dog coming into the bedroom while you’re getting intimate with your wife — it just kinds of makes things difficult.

This moron will drink Pepsi Holiday Spice for 45 days, and nothing else — no water, milk, nothing but Pepsi Holiday Spice. At least he won’t be brushing his teeth with it like this guy was doing with his beer.

We’re remodeling our bathroom. Think my wife would get miffed if I got a drooling deer faucet?
