Funny Cool Stuff

Talk about a “hands-on” approach.

The British based Office of Government Commerce (OGC) is a well-meaning organization that aims at “improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement”.

More of a let’s not leave things be, let’s make stuff happen sort of cool attitude.

You got the name, you got your mission statement, all you need is a chic logo and some well needed marketing. And that’s what they did. Unfortunately for the distinguished group of gentlemen and ladies, there was a bit of a hiccup at the design level. Oh, it looked sleek and matter of fact, minimalist and yet modern … but let’s say it needed a bit of lateral thinking!

Once OGC had paid a hefty £14 000 for their logo and unveiled it to their eager staff members, a most unbecoming picture came to light. As the delightfully tickled staff pointed out, when you turned the fancy logo vertically, the image gave a whole new meaning to “tight fisted” approach.

Needless to say, all marketing stationary bearing the embarrassing logo was quickly packed away.

As one spokesperson for OGC said: “It is not inappropriate to an organization that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.”

This is the wrong instance to say firm grip.

For most people living in a democratic country, it’s not cool when the government makes unreasonable laws and tries to control the lives of ordinary citizens too much. But it sure can be funny sometimes.

In the small village of Sarpourenx in southwest France, the people are facing a morbid problem. Their cemetery is overcrowded, and they have no space left to bury their dead. Gerard Lalanne, the village’s wise 70-year-old mayor, quickly came up with a solution: he issued an ordinance banning all residents from dying.

Still remember our funeral story a few days ago? Today, we have another funeral related story. Or at least a bizarre tale involving a funeral home.

Imagine if you lived next to a funeral home. Wouldn’t your tummy do flip flops if you awoke in the wee hours of the morning and heard bumpity-scratchy noises from next door?

Lucky for the good neighbors of Crespo Funeral home in Spain, the clawing noises turned out to be a pesky burglar. Trying to pry open the doors of the funeral home. Why? I mean, seriously why? What could you possibly want to steal from that place?

Playing professional basketball at the highest level is no laughing matter. Or maybe sometimes it is.

In this picture, Kyle Korver of the NBA’s Utah Jazz seems to be having a sudden attack of the giggles while trying to play defense.

“Haha! I think I ate something funny earlier.”

NBA fans have long noted that Kyle Korver looks a lot like popular actor Ashton Kutcher, who is best known for his role as Michael Kelso on the hit comedy TV series, that ’70s Show. So maybe Kyle was just channeling his inner Ashton right there.

Most of you probably find the picture funny, but his coach, Jerry Sloan, isn’t likely to be too amused if he ever sees this. Coach Sloan has a well-earned reputation for being a stern guy who always emphasizes tough defense and discipline, and he wouldn’t be pleased if he catches one of his players goofing off on the court like that.

But I think even professional players should be allowed to let loose with a belly laugh once in a while. After all, they call basketball a game. Games are supposed to be fun, right?

This is really classic!

First you get the irate bike owner ranting and raving about the woes of the world and all the bad people who steal from others. And then a passing tree-hugger points out the irony in his own actions.

This is absolutely funny… but then, here’s the most ironic bit. The wood and paper both used to be happy, unassuming trees until a strapping lumberjack had his way with them. If you are going to talk about innocent trees, perhaps you should think twice about attaching dead relatives to its body! I don’t think it needs to be reminded about tree genocide.

As a fellow human being, I’d be pretty freaked out if someone drilled or even pasted material made from human body on my body - I don’t care if it is varnished or recycled. (Kind of reminds you of that Conjoined Fetus Lady from South Park, doesn’t it?)

Yeah people, talk about Karma!

“Hey, baby, you are so cute. Let’s go make some babies.”

I just love babies, they are so cute and adorable, but most importantly what they say is always so innocent!

Last time when I was in school, calculus took the life out me. I see around me, I see everyone is completely comfortable with this weirdo branch of mathematics and in fact doing pretty well in the exam too. Unfortunately, I was the definite stigma among a bright Math oriented group of intelligent students, in fact, even until today I’m scared of this Math thing.

However, when I saw the following brilliant answer to such a difficult math problem, I immediately started to realize, I am not the lonely one in this lost world of Calculus.

Many pet owners like to dress up their pets. This is nothing unusual. Making your cat look like a feline drag queen is probably going too far though. But that’s exactly what some people want you to do. They even sell wigs for cats! Weird, right?

Cats aren’t the friendliest creatures. I can’t even put a collar on a cat without getting bloody scratches all over my arms. So how did these cat owners manage to get a wig on a cat’s head without risking life and limb? They must have slipped some kind of drugs into that can of tuna.

I bet the cat was royally pissed off when it woke up from its chemically induced stupor to find a giant wig sitting on its head. Seriously, does this cat look happy to you?
