Tsutomu Yamaguchi is one lucky and unlucky man all at once. Now 93, he survived not one, but two atomic bomb attacks. He was on business in Hiroshima when that big caboom happened, and after recovering from serious burns, he headed home to his hometown of Nagasaki and arrived just in time to be there …

Who Has A More Profound Disability: Cerrie Burnell Or These Closed-Minded Parents?
Wow. there are a lot of stupid people raising kids right now, as demonstrated by the outrage expressed by several British parents at the sight of a TV show host who only has one arm. They lodged complaints, they left horrible messages all over blogs and message boards saying that the sight of Cerrie Burnell, …
I Didn’t Hear the Train A comin’
How exactly do younot hear a train? I don’t care if you have headphones on or not. It’s a train! It goes chugga chugga choo choo loud enough to wake the dead for what seems like a 3-mile radius! If you don’t hear it, how do you miss the vibrations under your feet? I love …
I Think A Few People Want To Kill Her For Causing All This Trouble…
Amy Dallamura sounds like quite the sad one. that’s a lot of suicide attempts, and she can’t seem to stop herself from doing it. The only question I have is how the hell do you enforce an ASBO like that? I mean, the beaches and the sea are pretty big areas to bar someone from. …

You Can’t find It, Duffy Moon!
Edit: Look what I found! Ok, I’m going to add my voice to the small group of them that I’ve found while googling for this. They all say similar things. It’s kinda creepy. Every now and then, I catch myself saying “You can do it, Duffy Moon!” to Steve while he’s trying to get something …
The Tea Pot Calling The Kettle Black
Wow. Someone thinks the teabag revolution thing is stupid, but for different reasons. I love how this guy keeps calling the supporters of the teabag revolution “teabaggers” and isn’t doing it by accident. It sounds like they really need to reread some history, and not just the ancient stuff.
Advertising Fails
Here are some things Steve and I have noticed in commercials that bug the hell out of us. Yeah, I think we think too much. There’s a commercial for Delsym cough syrup that says “When America coughs, America has Delsym.” So, I should take from that wording that Delsym is the name of the cough? …
Doggy Day Is Here Again
Well holy crap, can you believe it? Two years ago today was the big day when I received my Trixter. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s been that long, but it sure has. Last year, I summed things up pretty well, so I’ll let that stand on its own. But yup, it’s been another year, another …
It Worked In South Africa?
Wow. the act of wheeling a dead guy in so they could get his pension cheque actually worked in South Africa, unlike what happened with those guys in the states who tried a similar trick. Can you imagine getting the dead guy’s thumbprint?
