Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
There’s a perfectly logical reason for it, but don’t tell me it’s not amusing that a flight carrying dozens of plumbers was forced to make an unscheduled landing because of a faulty toilet. ‘Is there a plumber on board?’ A Norwegian flight with 84 plumbers on board turned back to Oslo this weekend because a …

It appears the mystery of the 47-year-old gift has been solved, and it was captured on video! I guess the articles from last year made their way to Vicki Allen, the ex girlfriend who handed him the gift and dumped him, and they reconnected and decided to open the mystery gift for a charity. Thank …
We live in a world where not everything is just and not everyone gets justice. But many times there is justice, even if sometimes that justice takes half a century and is kind of cold-hearted and weird. In 1968, Douglas Parkhurst killed 4-year-old Carolee Ashby in a hit-and-run, or at least he’s pretty sure he …

Finally, somebody got Alanis Morissette to admit that nothing about Ironic is. Well, unless we consider that the fact that there is no irony to be found is perhaps itself the irony. But anyway, while James Corden was at it, he also got her to update the song to reflect some of the issues facing …
I hate to kick people while they’re down (that’s a lie), but this right here, as dumb things go, is way the fuck up there. When deadly flames incinerated hundreds of homes in Santa Rosa’s Fountaingrove neighborhood earlier this month, they also destroyed irreplaceable papers and correspondence held nearby and once belonging to the founders …
In case you thought distracted driving was one of those problems limited strictly to the youngsters and those damn phones they’ve got glued to their hands, 80-year-old Gregory Nayvelt is here to set you straight in fine fashion. Around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Moore was driving a marked police 2015 Ford Explorer westbound on West …
Haven’t seen one of these in a while. Following a prior assault conviction, Kelly John Lange, a 34-year-old Sioux Falls resident, was ordered by a judge to attend anger management classes. But when he did not complete that course, he was ordered to appear in court to answer for his no-shows. According to police, Lange …

In 2004, a tree was planted in memory of George Harrison. Recently, something killed it. That something? An infestation of beetles. “That’s what you get for spelling our name wrong all these years!”, I like to imagine they said. A tree planted to honor of the memory of the Beatles songwriter George Harrison has been …

If you read this blog and actually like it, first of all why, but more importantly, you owe a bit of a thank you to a fellow by the name of Chuck Shepherd. If not for him and his News of the Weird column, I and to an extent Carin may not have the sorts …
So here’s something hilarious, sad, ironic, tone deaf and just plain weird all at the same time. The NSA (National Security Agency), a branch of the American government most famous for spying both legally and otherwise on the private communications of basically everyone on Earth, has its own internal Dear Abby style advice columnist. No, …
