Things that Amuse Me

It is time to review the world's weird news stories of the week.

1) THE NAUGHTY SEAL AWARD: A seal was caught on tape trying to have sex with a penguin. Actually, from the description it sounds like this seal was trying to rape this poor defenseless creature and we should contact the ACLU!!!!

2) THE DROP THAT CANDY AWARD: An Iowa man was arrested for assaulting an officer when he threw M & M's as the officer. Apparently an piece of the candy hit the officer on the shoulder and he will never be the same again.

3) THE GO AS SLOW AS YOU CAN AWARD: An Illinois man has doubled his gas milage by "hypermiling". Try that on hwy 278!!!!

4) THE BUT DAD I NEEDED ONE AWARD: A Texas teen is in a bit of hot water after he stole his father's credit card. Did he go and buy the hottest game for his Wii? NO...He bought 2 Hookers! Just what every teenager needs!

5) THE DUMB ASS PARENT AWARD: A family in a rush to get to the airport gate "forgot" their 23 month old!!! The thing that gets me is that they didn't even realize it until they were contacted during a layover!!!

Well, it time to take a look at the week's weirdest news stories...

1) THE ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID? AWARD: A Utah Police Chief shot himself during an instruction class. apparently he was training how to disassemble a Glock 40 and the gun discharged. Guess he missed his class about making sure that the weapon wasn't loaded!

2) THE IF YOUR FRIENDS TOLD YOU TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE WOULD YOU DO IT? AWARD: A California man was given a dare by his friends to punch a camel at Six Flags...and he did it? The camel was in a restricted area of the park. These just don't sound like friends to me...he was later arrested.

3) THE WHO WANTS TO BE A BILLIONAIRE AWARD: A Texas man was arrested for forging a 360 Billion Dollar check. The man told the tellers that his girlfirend's mother was helping him start a record business. They didn't buy that and called police and he was arrested. Police also found marijuana and a hand gun in his pockets.

4)THE WHY YOU SHOULDN'T SMOKE POT AWARD: Two Texas teens admitted that they dug up a grave so they could use the skull as a bong to smoke pot. Police were questioning htem about an ATM card theft when one of the told police of the grave robbery. They have not found the skull but they did find a disturbed grave in which the skull was missing.

5) THE TASTES LIKE CHICKEN AWARD: Sacramento police arrested a man when they found 300 dead cats in his freezer. They also say that the man had 30 living cats in the home. This is just SICK!!!


That is the weird news for the week....HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

My Friday Posts will now include a list of what I think are the freakiest news stories of the week!

1) DON'T TAKE OUR NAME AWARD: "Islanders File Suit Over Term 'Lesbian'" Three islanders of Lesbos, Greece have filed this suit because they are also called Lesbians. The suit asks that the Gay community be barred from using the term. I can't say that I blame them but I am not sure how effective it would be.

2) THE GET IT UP AWARD: A Chilean Town is giving Vigagra to Seniors...FREE! Lo Prado Mayor Gonzalo Navarrete said he launched the program because "an active sexuality improves the overall quality of life." Well, DUH?????

3) DON'T DISPLAY MALE ORGANS AWARD: Florida apparently has nothing better to do than to ban fake testicles on vehicles? Is this really such a widespread problem? Drivers would be fined $60. It just seems like there are other problems to deal with down there!

4) DID YOU FALL OFF THE TURNIP TRUCK YESTERDAY AWARD: A Michigan Professor made a HUGE mistake that cost him his son. He didn't know that Mike's Rock Hard Lemonade had alcohol in it and bought one for his 7-year old son at a ballgame. DUH???

So, this is the weird news of the week!

Have a great weekend!
