Offbeat Stories of the Year

  • December 23, 2007 3:03 am

I usually wouldn’t steal things…well Yes I would but thats another matter. However, the people over at ABC(AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING COMPANY) decided that their users liked these stories. I have covered one or two of them. But not nearly all of them!

Whatever happened to the story of the Sydney man driving a tank? Oh yeah, here it is! Although, ABC not a bad list overall. Thanks for doing my work for me once again!

Random Videos

  • October 25, 2007 6:47 pm

I am going to do some random videos as I just found some that were pretty halirious. I guess that is what procrastinating gets you.

Don’t you look away! Bring you the Final Countdown from Europe(Sponge Bob) in honor of John Levens 44th Birthday!

Personally, I was amazed at how this lady could keep her composure, after all her son has just been shot! I was born in Charleston so I also thought this video was cool in that way.

This is a non-youtube video so sorry if the formatting is off. But having a DC-10 fly right past you is pretty freakin cool.

Hope you like this and maybe it will become more of a regular feature!

Oops I hit a parked car!

  • September 24, 2007 6:30 pm

While Brittany Spears hitting this car is over a month old, the story is still halirious! Just listen to her talk to the press as they ask how she is. Some of these people are just pure idiots. Ahhh, the wonderful world of the press!

Man faces 25 years for lighting firecracker

  • May 9, 2007 2:19 pm

Travis Grout, 19, has been charged with first-degree arson, public intoxication and interference with official acts for an incident April 16 at Coral Ridge Mall. Travis light the firecracker and proceeded to throw it down a hall towards a restroom area. The firecracker exploded catapulting two pieces of cement. No reports on injured people were found or any reports of exactly how many people were in the area.

This is not smart Mr. Grout. You may spend some of your best years, until your 44 if you are sentenced to maximum time sitting in jail.

The Wrap up of Today’s News #5

Haven’t done a TWIN post in a while so here comes by popular demand from Detroit, MI.

Kurt Vonnegut, an amazing author of classic pop culture books died yesterday at the age of 84. His books include “Slaughter-house 5″, and “Cat’s Cradle”. I am deeply touched by Kurt’s passing as he was an amazing literary feat. Loved his books to death. Kind of scary how the picture in the article reminds me of House, M.D. though.

Google Earth has a wikipedia article against it for blurring out some places on its digital globe. These include government facilities, universities, and oddly enough an airport. Now, Google loves DTW and I can see it in perfect distinction but NO to Syracuse, NY. Wow, we know Google is caving in eh? Almost forgot to mention that they have lower resolution around IBM. Hm. Moving on.

And taking a short whip to the Don Imus, “contraversy”, as the British would call it. Who cares. Big whop. This isn’t a who’s write who’s wrong situation, it’s a who’s gonna get fired.Oh and someone deems it necessary to get back at Bill O’Reilly who evidently is more desensitive for calling mexicains “wetbacks”. Whatever. I am not touching this with a ten foot stick.

And that’s a wrap on this TWIN around the web in 30 minutes.

Colorado- Suzanna Shell is suing the Internet Archive, better known as The Wayback Machine for infringing on her website. The charges include breech of contract, conversion and civil theft. Mrs. Shell’s website has a line dictating that no spiders can process her website. Wonder if she used a robot.txt? Come on Mrs. Shell this is 2007! If you don’t want your site spidered why have it on the internet.

Eskridge, Kansas- Maisie DeVore, age 83 collected pop cans for over 30 years to build a community pool for the town of Eskridge. Eskridge has a population of 600 people. Her efforts are amazing! A link to the pools site is at the bottom in addition to the story. This story may be old but has reappeared and is very heart warming.

Anderson, Alaska- Daryl Frisbee’s Social Studies class at Anderson High School shows us how great homesteading can be. The class came up with a presentation so that with a $500 deposit you can build on a pristine lot and pay virtually nothing except the cost of building your home. The idea behind the project is to bring more development to Anderson. There is no gas station or grocery store for up to 20 miles away. I hope this works out great as it is a terrific idea. I doubt my Social Studies classes could have figured this out.
