BBC NEWS | UK | England | Gloucestershire | Man cuts up car in clamp protest: May 12, 6:56am 10 reviews uk, humor, weird
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/gloucestershire/7395452.stm; British man saws his own car in half to protest the fact that it was clamped for being parked illegally.

Yeah! Way to go! That'll show them...err, him...self.

ohnotheydidnt: Mary-Kate Olsen Candids: May 11, 8:19pm 1 review bizarre
http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/23357176.html; Well, it appears that "fashion icon" (no, really) Mary-Kate Olsen is the first celebrity to take the next obvious step in the "Using Pets as Fashion Accessories" department:

Instead of toting around a cute little dog inside a bag, she's simply using the entire dog as a bag. It appears to be a Basset Hound and an unhappy one at that.

http://theinternetisterrible.com/wp-content/things/1210206816372.jpg: May 9, 7:30am 22 reviews animals, bizarre, wtf, weird
http://theinternetisterrible.com/wp-content/things/1210206816372.jpg; It's been a slow weird news week so to make up for the lack of weirdness on my blog lately, here's a couple of anteaters wearing sweaters:

Note that the anteater wearing the pink sweater looks as horrified as I feel looking at this abomination. Some animals are cute in sweaters. Anteaters, clearly, are not one of those animals.

YouTube - Beverly Hills Chihuahua (teasertrailer.net): May 9, 7:03am 2 reviews movies, video, wtf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mI808JK6-Q; As I sit here watching this with my jaw gaping in disbelief I can only come up with one semi-coherent thought: WTF, Disney?

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05_02/volcanoUPI_800x531.jpg: May 6, 6:52pm 11 reviews nature, photography
http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05_02/volcanoUPI_800x531.jpg; Every so often I run across a photo like this--a volcano erupting simultaneously with a huge thunderstorm overhead--and all I can think is that Mother Nature is basically telling us all "Step off, bitch or I'll go apocolyptic on all your asses!"

Or something like that.

National Geographic News Photo Gallery: Giant Stingrays Found Near Thai City: May 2, 6:41pm 2 reviews marine-biology, wtf
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/04/photogalleries/stingray-pictu...; Giant stingrays found near Thailand. Biologists react to this by doing this:

Giving the giant stingray a big group hug! I'm not sure that's the approach I would have taken (actually, my approach would have been more of a departure, rapidly in the opposite direction). But I guess that's why they're the biologists and I'm just a lowly blogger sitting here writing goofy comments about a photo of biologists hugging a giant stingray.

Alien Images Appear On Wall In Western Canada - Photo Gallery News Story - WCAU …: May 1, 11:55am 2 reviews bizarre, wtf, stupid, weird
http://www.nbc10.com/slideshows/15663013/detail.html; Ghostly images of aliens appear on the wall of a house. Every day. At the same time. And only disappear when the sun goes behind clouds, which can only mean one thing...

These aliens are solar powered!

And people wonder why UFO accounts aren't taken seriously.

BBC NEWS | Health | The man who grew a finger: Apr 30, 3:23pm 30 reviews medical-science
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7354458.stm; This man REGREW A FINGER BACK. My mind is completely blown. Completely. That's all I have to say about this story. Just read it.

Flip Top Bin: Apr 29, 5:56am 4 reviews nature, wtf, spiders, creepy, ugh
http://fliptopbin.blogspot.com/; Those who know me will be surprised to see a SPIDER here. But see, I've wised up to the evils of Stumble Upon buddies---I'm posting it here to pre-empt all the "LOL look, a spider!" Stumbles I would have gotten featuring this horrible page full of spidery-ickiness. So there. Hah.

I'm also posting it because someone needs to have a record of exactly when spiders started killing snakes and eventually moving their way up the food chain.

Welcome to Historic American Prints: Apr 27, 4:22pm 1 review history, military, photography
http://www.historicamericanprints.com/history.htm; This daugerotype was taken in the mid-1800s. This particular elderly gentleman was born in 1749, which means his grandparents were born in the 1600s. So we're looking at the photographic image of someone who was directly linked to (relatively) ancient history. He died at age 107. Imagine what those eyes had seen during his lifetime--over a century...the Revolutionary War (he actually crossed the Delaware with Washington), the French Revolution, the rise and fall of slavery in the US, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution...this man would have been a veritable walking encyclopedia.

And here we sit, 150 years after his death looking into his eyes on a computer screen. It just boggles my mind to think about it. Granted, I'm easily boggled but still...
