Human’s Can Lick Too
Once there was a beautiful young girl who lived in a small town just south of Farmersburg. Her parents had to go to town for a while, so they left their daughter home alone, but protected by her dog, which was a very large collie. The parents told the girl to lock all the windows and doors after they had left and she obeyed her parent’s wishes, but there was one window in the basement that would not close completely.

She went back upstairs, but just to make sure that no one could get in, she put the dead-bolt lock on the basement door. She had some dinner, watched a … Read entire article »

Poor Richard Gere
Several years ago, “they” say, Mr. Gere was admitted into the emergency room of a Los Angeles hospital with a gerbil lodged in his rectum. Gere was alone when he arrived, some say, or with a partner (e.g., former girlfriend Cindy Crawford) according to others. It took a whole team of surgeons to extract the animal from Gere’s posterior. Some variants say the gerbil was found to have been shaven and declawed; others claim the animal had been placed in a special plastic pouch. And some say the poor creature was Gere’s own beloved pet, aptly named “Tibet.” In any case, when the surgery was finally done the medical team was sworn to secrecy (unsuccessfully, we must conclude) and Gere went on his merry way, suffering no permanent damage other than … Read entire article »

Saved by the Vest
While cooking dinner one night, Aunt G. opened the cupboard. She intended to pull out some flour, but instead she received a nasty surprise. A python jumped out at her. She slammed the cabinet, and with lightning speed, all three hundred pounds of her made it down the street to a neighbor in less than thirty seconds. From there she called the police. When the cops arrived on the scene, one of them opened that same cabinet. The snake again lashed out, but this time succeeded in making contact with the officer’s chest. Luckily however, it sunk its teeth into a mouthful of bullet proof vest. He then slung it to the ground, step on it’s head, and chopped it off. After a brief investigation, it was discovered that the … Read entire article »

She thought that the sharp object must have been a security tag and she brought her belongings to the front of the store and approached the registers. Minutes later, while on the checkout … Read entire article »

The Bunny Man Bridge
After the civil war Fairfax County, Virginia became more populated and eventually an insane asylum was built there. No one wanted to live near the asylum and because of the public outrage the institution was shut down. The administration transferred the patients and in 1904 the process was completed. During the transfer, some of the patients escaped and hid in the surrounding woods and forest. These individuals were lost, delusional and dangerous. Most of them were found except Marcus Lawster and Douglas Griffen. The local authorities found a trail they believed belonged to them, littered with half eaten mutilated bunnies. The trail led deep into the woods to a tunnel bridge crossing a wide creek. There they found Marcus hanging from the tunnel entrance. There was a note attached to his foot … Read entire article »
