I think the dress looks good on her. I don't like the eye on the breast but I would not have guessed it was an Angry Birds dress if I was not told that it was. I would have thought it was a pattern since an Angry Bird gown is the last thing I would expect.

I'm sorry....what?

A Czech national was nabbed in Argentina for trying to board a transatlantic flight with 247 live animals including poisonous snakes and endangered reptiles packed in a bulging suitcase, reports said Monday.

The man identified as Karel Abelovsky, 51, was caught while trying to board a flight for Madrid when shocked baggage X-ray technicians and staff at the Iberia Airlines desk at Ezeiza Airport in greater Buenos Aires noticed "organic substances moving inside," local media reported.

When they opened the bag, they found more than 200 reptiles and mollusks, among them nine species of poisonous snakes including South American pitvipers, packed in clear plastic containers.
I. Would. DIE. Pitvipers?? As much as I love snakes, there is NO WAY I would keep my cool if they got loose in the airport somehow...and the article says some of them died from oxygen deprivation. I feel so badly for those poor animals. I can pity and be scared at the same time.

Company Offeres to Donate 1,000 Dildos for Military Wives

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817...obref=obinsite

I'll give a synopsis since a) the article was a little confusing and b) I think I have to physically type it out to believe it.

There's some sort of interactive sex toy called "RealTouch" on the market. A man inserts his penis into a sleeve that will grip whatever is stuck into it. The sleeve warms, lubes, and creates sensations. Whatever someone does to the controller (a sort of dildo-shaped joystick that connects to the Internet), the user will feel in the sleeve. The company that made it is offering to donate 1,000 of these things to military families so they can have long-distance conjugal visits. As in Joe Army is in Afghanistan with Little Joe in the sleeve and his wife plays with the controller from home in the States. Or vice versa if Jane Army is deployed with the controller and her husband is home with the sleeve.

Man Marries Dead Girlfriend In Joint Funeral And Wedding Ceremony In Thailand

This goes beyond weird or stupid, to down right CREEPY. There are photos and her dress is hiked up to her garter.

Yeah the link is from aol, which I didn't even know still existed, but that's what the blog linked to. Bold text is my emphasis.

http://main.aol.com/2012/01/18/man-m...n_1213316.html

A man recently married his deceased girlfriend in a combination funeral and wedding ceremony.

Chadil Deffy, also known as Deff Yingyuen, placed a ring on the finger of Sarinya "Anne" Kamsook, his girlfriend of 10 years, during the ceremony in Thailand's Surin province.

The couple had planned to get married in the future, but Yingyuen wanted to focus on his studies before tying the knot, the Thai-Asean News (TAN) Network reported.

Unfortunately, Kamsook unexpectedly died in an accident before the couple could set a date.

According to the Pattaya Daily News, the couple met at Thailand's Eastern Asia University nearly a decade ago, and wreaths were placed around campus in memory of Kamsook following her death.

Photos and footage of the ceremony were posted on Facebook and YouTube.

And while some thought the service a bit strange, others expressed their sympathy for the groom.

"...I didn't know her, but in your photos, she looks young and full of life.I can't image the impact her death has caused in the lives of her loved ones. It was a very moving gesture of love, very moving. It makes you rethink a lot of things in life, things you take for granted," Facebook user Alejandra Yanez wrote in spanish on Yingyuen's page.

Onsiri Pravattiyagul, a friend of the groom, wrote an opinion column addressing Yingyuen's intentions and the media speculation his story has prompted. The piece, featured on the Bangkok Times, included the following...

'I'm very alive': Army vet declared dead 4 times

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...d-dead-4-times

Quote:
"I'm alive, you see. This can’t keep going on and on," Miller said.

He said a letter came this month -- addressed to his estate -- requesting repayment of more than $94,000 in benefits he shouldn't have received, because he was dead, and that it included polite instructions how to make the payment.

Miller said he has no idea why he was declared dead.

A VA spokesman told WESH 2 News that the organization was looking into the case.

Miller said he asked his congressman to do the same, but so far, being alive has not been sufficient proof that he is not dead.

Tennessee Man Tries to Move Ambulance Blocking his Car

A man hopped into a Wilson County ambulance that was blocking his car and tried to move it while paramedics were loading a patient.

Mt. Juliet police told The Tennessean that paramedics heard the engine start and were able to stop 65-year-old Warren Melamed before he could move the ambulance.

Melamed, of Brentwood, was arrested on Saturday on one count of unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Melamed told officers he was mad because the ambulance was blocking his car.

^^^Yesterday, there was an ambulance the exit of my apartment complex when I was trying to get to school. I felt like such an a-hole to actually ask paramedics to move an ambulance but I really needed to get to class. They were very kind about it.

i'm surprised they couldn't find a listing for him. apparently he's a dentist in Donelson. maybe they didn't wanna talk to him, 'cause he's probably a prick on the phone, too. a couple of websites that have his patient reviews are 1/5 stars. i can't believe he was trying to drive it while they were trying to load a patient onto the bus. what a bonebag.
