Aussie just wanted to play with the crocodile

As someone commented on the The West’s comment section, “This is exactly the sort of guy who should be eaten by a crocodile…sometimes you need to thin the herd a little.”  I agree!  The guy is the perfect candidate for pruning via natural selection. From FLIP PRIOR at The West Australian: A man who survived [...]

Religion Continues to Drag Down Modern Society

Fear of the devil is holding up the census in India as groups of religious believers refuse to participate for fear of being associated with an imaginary evil force.

UFO Reports Spike After Media Events

It turns out that when you take 15 years of UFO and alien reports and stick them on a chronological timeline, the number of reports spike after major media events prominently featuring aliens and UFOs.  1978 was a big year because that’s when Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released.  1996 was another big [...]

Tattoo girl regrets her decision

Her pic is priceless. This girl regrets her tattooed face. She tried to blame the tatoo artist by claiming that she fell asleep while he went nuts on her face. This is the guy she blamed. Turns out he’s a nice guy and offered to pay for half of her laser removal costs.  It also [...]

Oprah gets rightfully slammed by Newsweek

It wouldn’t necessarily wrong to label Oprah as the Queen of Wacky Pseudo-science.  She and her guests make claim after claim about alternative medicine and practices that either have, a) been repeatedly proven to have no beneficial effect (homeopathy), or b) have been repeatedly proven to be harmful (anti-vaccination) Well, finally the mainstream media is [...]
