Mugabe To Gift A “Noah’s Ark” To Kim Jong-il

Annika HarrisMay 19, 2010 //

Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe has plans to send two of several animal species living in Zimbabwe’s 14,600 kilometer Hwange National Park to North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-il. The “Noah’s Ark” is meant as a gift of gratitude to Kim for allowing the North Korea national soccer team to train in Zimbabwe. Two 18-month-old elephants, black and white rhinos, cheetahs, lions, leopards, giraffes, and zebras are speculated to be on the list of wildlife that will make the approximately 7,000-mile journey to North Korea.

Dad Tries To Trade Baby For Two Bottles Of Beer

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 19, 2010 //

Need some early motivation to start making your Father’s Day plans? Perhaps this story will inspire you. Twenty-four-year-old Matthew Brace walked into a Massachusetts convenience store on Monday with his three-month-old baby. Sadly, Brace did not have the money needed to purchase to two 40-ounce bottles of beer. And so he said, “For two 40s, you can have her.” It seemed like a joke at first, only it wasn’t. When Brace put the baby in the clerk’s truck, the clerk called the cops. Brace is now being charged with reckless endangerment and has been sent for a psychological evaluation. So, this Father’s Day, just be glad your dad didn’t try to give you away for beer. [AOL News] Keep reading »

Susannah BreslinMay 18, 2010 //

Lewd cat is the lewdest cat I have ever seen. I mean, when you hear “lewd cat,” and you’re like, oh, well, he’s a cat, he can’t be all that lewd, you are wrong. This cat is one lewd dude. If you are a woman in America, you have probably had a guy do this to you at some point in your life. But I never expected this from a feline, frankly. [The Daily What] Keep reading »

Two things happened to Rima Fakih yesterday. She nearly went splat after tripping over the long train of her wedding-like gown. And more importantly, the Miss Michigan USA pageant queen was crowned Miss USA. Rima, who was born in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. as a baby, said she knew she’d be crowned the winner when she saw Donald Trump‘s expression. “That’s the same look that he gives them when he says, ‘You’re hired,’ on ‘The Apprentice,’ she said. Rima will go on to represent the U.S. in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant. She also will receive a New York apartment for one year, an undisclosed salary, and various beauty, health, and professional services. After the jump, find out more about Rima, including the surprising talent that helped her win another kind of contest. Keep reading »

How To Not Get Action In High School: Wear The Same Pair Of Shoes For 4 Years

Leonora EpsteinMay 14, 2010 //

Thanks, Ben Hedblom, for wearing the same shoes for four years as a bet and ruining any progress we’d made with men forgoing their too-tatty threads. In all fairness, the teen, who has been wearing a pair of Nike Shox throughout high school, could actually teach guys (and girls) a thing or two about how people are treated based on outward appearances. What began as a silly challenge between Hedblom and his Spanish teacher turned into a psychological test, causing the student to turn the experience into his senior project. Apparently, people felt so bad for him, strangers in McDonald’s would offer to buy him new kicks. Said Hedblom: “It made me think less of what other people think of me. And it made me approach them and talk to them. And they got to know me as a person. That goes way past the physical experience … I’ve learned a lot about self image. You are what you believe you are.” Aww.

Well, we’re assuming Mr. Hedblom remained a virgin throughout his high school career. Way to practice abstinence, kid. [TampaBay.com] Keep reading »

Ladies, Marrying A Younger Man Can Kill You

Nikki DowlingMay 13, 2010 //

According to an article in Science Daily, Demi Moore probably won’t be with us much longer. Seriously, though, studies show that women who get hitched to younger dudes have a lower life expectancy than chicks who score a spouse their own age. On the flip side, men with younger wives tend to live longer. Life just isn’t fair. Keep reading »

A Convent Drug Ring Gets Busted

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 13, 2010 //

“Tonight, on ‘Sick, Sad World,’ nuns busted in a convent drug ring.” Yes, this actually happened in real life. For the past three years, the Italian police had been keeping their eye on a convent in North Italy which had a South American caretaker. Evidently, the caretaker had teamed up with the ‘Ndrangheta crime syndicate and was distributing drugs through the small church. ‘Pilgrims’ would come to the convent to pick up and drop off prayer books stuffed full of cocaine. Talk about a religious fix. Yesterday, the convent was raided and 33 people were arrested. It appears that the nuns actually had no idea what was going on, so we hope they’re set free soon!
