In an attempt to find a solution, smart scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came up with the intriguing idea of small foldable cars that can be stacked together like shopping carts! Amazing, isn’t it?

There’s a giant monster behind you! Run for your lives!

And those people out there who are in to more exotic pets don’t have to fret about what will happen to their injured tortoises, turtles, or lizards. Pet wheels have been proven to work for reptiles as well. Writer Jim Lee built a set of custom wheels for an injured Box Turtle that allowed her to run around his house and even go outside.

Check out these wheels for a paralyzed turtle!

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.

Yes, it’s a male urinal shaped like the head of a Japanese clown with a wide open mouth. If you didn’t like clowns before, you’ll definitely be having nightmares after this.

Japanese engineers are brilliant, but why do they always come up with strange ideas like this? Don’t they have concern for people who suffer from shy bladders? Having a creepy face staring at them while they’re trying to do their business would just make things more difficult, wouldn’t it?

And it gets worse. It moves!

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.

For a minute there that sentence was headed down a very questionable path.

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

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?

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.

gDay wasn’t the only prank Google pulled, their largest was a collaboration with Virgin Media, titled Virgle, looking for pioneers for their expedition to colonize Mars. With a company as big and innovative as Google this sort of endeavor is semi believable and probably threw quite a few people for a loop.

Google also added a couple other features worthy of a laugh, Gmail Custom Time, allowing users to send messages back in time, and Google Wake-up Kit, complete with a bucket for cold water and a bed flipper.
