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.

Talk about male fantasies. Cai Ruigong hired a fancy stripper for his daddy’s funeral, paying her roughly $160 to do her thing in front of his coffin!

Sure, I found it a bit shocking at first. But then, according to one of the articles, Taiwanese culture is quite relaxed about stripping. And that it’s somewhat common to bring in, to quote Pratchett, these “seam-stressing” ladies; it reels in more mourners.

Anyway, the story goes that Cai Jinlai’s son had vowed to hire a stripper for the final farewell event if daddy-o lived to be a 100.

And that he did. Come to think of it, Cai Jinlai sounds a bit like a raunchy old grandpa; apparently he was an ardent fan of strip joints and used to travel around with his buds, visiting various clubs.

Where does this man get his energy from? He passed away at the age of 103 after a three mile walk into town to vote.

We have all done some pretty stupid things to get out of work before, like calling in with the excuse that the dog was hit by a car or a grandmother died. Believe me, I have used some weird excuses also, but nothing beats this man in Pasco, Washington. He took it a few steps too far when he had his friend shoot him in order to get out of taking a drug test at work.

Yes, this is in fact a true story. In order to get out of a drug test he was going to take at work, Daniel Kuch called the police and told them he had been shot by someone in a dark car. After investigating, however, deputies discovered that this story didn’t make sense. It then came out that Kuch had a friend shoot him so that he would be injured and able to stay away from work long enough for any drugs to leave his system. Both men have since been arrested, and hopefully others will learn a lesson from this situation. Working sucks, but serving jail time sucks a whole lot more.
