Funny Cool Stuff

Sometimes people find themselves in situations where they really want to attack someone, but don’t have a traditional weapon at hand. So they improvise. In New Zealand, William Singalargh used a hedgehog as a projectile and managed to wound a younger man’s leg. He was later arrested for assault with a weapon, though it is doubtful a hedgehog is on the list of weapons police normally look for in assault cases.

Talk about serenading the domestic ones.

An innovative dairy farmer has struck upon the perfect milking solution! He has turned to the ancient art of Tai Chi to coax and relax his beloved cows… you know so that they produce better, creamier and yummier milk.

Victoria’s Secret stores are known for their softer side, specializing in the sale of high-end bras and panties. But the retail chain was in for a hard surprise when Jessica Lang of Greenville, SC, filed a lawsuit against them after claiming she was injured by a bra!

Feeling discomfort in her breast one morning, she removed the offensive undergarment to alleviate the pain and it left her with a 3-inch long laceration. Following the incident she sought treatment and missed several days of work, which led, she says, to her losing her job. Though Ms. Lang is suing for medical expenses, future disability, pain and suffering, and loss of future prospects (she claims this injury will hurt her possible career as a model), Victoria’s Secret is denying the allegations.

They claim the injury is the result of her own recklessness.

Woman’s Lawsuit Claims Bra Injured Her

I’ve heard of eagles swooping down to grab a little pup but this is perhaps more bizarre. Seriously, you don’t wanna take your little doggie for a walk in his park.

Story goes that in the sleepy village of Lazo, Russia, a stray dog was barking at a group of black squirrels lurking among the trees. Dogs will bark at anything; firecrackers, leaves rustling in the wind or even at its own tail. So nothing weird there… until the bunch of furry rodents made a leap for the poor dog and started to gut the fellow. Ouch! Night of Flesh-Eating Squirrels, anyone?

Sounds like pretty hard-core squirrels. Was it the rodent equivalent of Robert DeNiro’s “Are you talking to me?”

According to witnesses, when they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them.

Well, baffled experts wonder if a pine corn shortage is to blame. How do you jump from pine to dog meat? Why not go through the customary scavenging dust bins and begging with puppy eyes routine first?

Did I mention that the ravaging feast lasted almost a minute? Creepy!

Hmm …. Is there a nuke dump site in that area?

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.

When some couples break up they take each other to court over custody of the kids or the house, or to sue for alimony. But a Malaysian woman has taken her court battle to new extremes, suing her husband for approximately the equivalent of $882,000 (US Dollar) for the loss of her virginity!

After her husband persuaded her to have sex with him by promising to marry her, his family refused to acknowledge the union that took place a few months later. She says she was promised a happy marriage and received only humiliation at the hands of her husband and in-laws instead. Let this be a lesson to the bad husbands of the world – if you screw your wife over, she will do the same to you!

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?

Scientists are excited about a unique opportunity to study human anthropomorphism in action (i.e. the human tendency to personify the ‘darnest’ objects). Next to the discovery of the “crazy cat syndrome”, this revelation could rock the scientific world as we know it… or not. Just extra gossip to throw around the water cooler.

The event in question is the joint effort of a whole community to provide woolen warmth to an unassuming pear tree. That’s right! Residents somewhere in Ohio decided to do their bit for those suffering out there in the cold winter’s night and so knitted bits of yarn to make a tree-sweater… for a tree.

Cynics have quipped that, although the sturdy fellow has withstood harsh elements, test of time and numerous itchy squirrel bites, the clickety click of knitting needles weaving sweater bits for it just might be its undoing.

Tree-huggers are in two minds about this; sure, they’re kicking themselves for not coming up with this in the first place but some of the more steadfast followers are thinking of anti-sheep shearing slogans.
