Funny/Strange News Stories

A sad end to a great story... it was just a great story. Joe Carr reveals his true identity. I so wanted this to have been true...

Damn, I'll have to go back to reminiscent giggling about the way that Australian commentators pronounced a certain Japanese Winter Olympics athlete's name - Saka****a. Though I would have loved to hear Italian commentary even more.

For a while I didn't realise that in other countries one cannot change their name willy nilly. I would have loved to be there when a guy I knew was pulled over by the cops - his legal name, and the one on his driver's license, was genuinely Darth Vader.

I find his "real" name ever more fake as it is basically Joker

From the comments section:

I did use blood from my menstrual cup as house plant food for a short spell years ago, but could never be arsed to keep it up. Baby Bio will do fine.

This is Brilliant!! Best of luck to you! Maybe Kim Chi or Sauerkraut next?

Here is a picture of a slice from the actual loaf. Probably a coincidence, but it's shaped like a fish

I'm guessing she may have a hard time getting people to come over for dinner in the future.

Certainly. I had a hard enough time eating my own sandwich* after reading that.

* EDIT: Not my own in that sense. Eww.

ANN ARBOR -- Jake Butt was one of the top tight ends in America this season.

And in his own league, he was head and shoulders above the rest.

On Tuesday, the 6-foot-6, 248-pound Michigan junior was named the Big Ten's 2015 tight end of the year.

Butt had 20 more receptions (48) and 225 more yards (620) to go along with three touchdowns this season for the Wolverines.

With 48 catches, Butt is now six receptions away from setting Michigan's all-time single-season tight end receptions record (Bennie Joppru had 53 in 2002). He's also 129 yards away from setting the single-season tight end receiving mark.

Though that record is held by Devin Funchess, who had 748 yards in 2013 as a part-time receiver/tight end. Funchess also won the Big Ten's tight end of the year in 2013.

Butt's 89 career receptions rank No. 4 on the school's all-time tight ends list, and his 1,066 yards rank No. 5 all-time.

Jack Clancy (132 catches, 1,919 yards) holds both records.

This is great. Reminded me of going to a sold out local gig where one punter who didn't have admission took a friend (that had already entered the show) to a tattoo place and got the pass out stamp tattooed on his wrist to gain entry.

Dedicated or moronic, or maybe both.

Fixed.

Apparently it takes 2 of these : ' to go from being a kinky gay priest to a whore humping senator!

...Well, the year-old post's about the clueless-ness of the ex-owners, while the newer one's an update of sorts, so can't we give him a break? Please?

Clearly photoshopped. It's well-known that if Trump is ever near electricity, it will expose him as Frankenstein's Monster, thus undermining his electoral platform of "fear everyone who isn't you".

...For some reason, I found this news funny. Dunno why though...
Driverless cars 'must have driver', according to the G-men...


A commenter in some distant internet forum noted that local traffic cops couldn't fine driverless cars so they wanted this done asap. Maybe that was the real reason, who knows...
