I’d Like To Buy The World A Nail…

At long last, I have found the answer to a question that has been puzzling the world since…sometime last week. that question of course is how do you take a story aboutthe government trying to regulate a bunch of lunatics crucifying themselvesand make it even weirder? The answer is one of those things that’s so …

Safe Mock Crucifictions?

You’ve heard the stories about the people in the Philippines who whip themselves and simulate the crucifiction on Good Friday, right? Well, now, since there’s no way to stop it, Philippine health officials are telling people to please do it safely. That’s right. Get a tetanus shot, use sterile nails and clean whips to cause …

Holiday Marketing 101

It’s nice to see that even the drug dealers among us can get into the holiday spirit. Five Marietta, Ohio residents were arrested this week forselling crack cocaine that was dyed green in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. “I don’t know if they’re Irish or not,” Washington County Sheriff Larry R.

The Picture Of Stupidity

I’m confused. What law says you’re not allowed to snap a photo of under cover cops while they’re conducting a search warrant? If they’re under cover, there’s nothing to see.
