Woman Spends 19 Years Saving $550 in Pennies. Whoop Di Freakin’ Do.
I don’t mean to sound like a jerk or anything, but is saving $550 worth of pennies over 19 years really something that you should be proud of? It’s a little crazy if you ask me. There are people who hoard pets, people who hoard old magazines and newspapers, and then there’s Vicki Armstrong who [...]

What Does 200 Calories Look Like?
Let’s face it, most Americans suck at eating healthy, including myself. I probably eat healthier than the average person but I still find time to feed myself the random Big Mac and packs of Strawberry Mentos (don’t get me started on those little fruit tootsie rolls).
Wise Geek has a very cool post showing what 200 [...]
Meet Kenny George: At 7′7″ He’s the Tallest Basketball Player in the Country
There’s a park in my hometown that has a mini-basketball court- it’s half the size of a traditional court complete with mini-hoops. Since I shot up a few extra inches after high school to a towering 6′3″ I’ve been able to dunk there without leaving the ground. My basketball skillz are mostly limited to my [...]

Get your Cringe Hat on for this one. Back in September 4, 1993 some poor kid named Seth had a Bar Mitzvah and must have nearly died of embarrassment after his adult relatives thought it’d be a good idea to do a group karaoke sing along to “That’s What Friends Are For”. It’s super terribly [...]

Knitting for Psychopaths is Cuddly, Cute, and Extremely Twisted
Knitting for Psychopaths is a collection of cute plush figures engaged in sick and disturbing acts. There’s the co-joined bear twins linked at the head, an eviscerated cat, a tiger with bloody arm in its mouth, and my favorite- a unicorn spearing an adorable little teddy bear. You have to be a slightly disturbed genius [...]
