Police say a thief in Germany ordered a cup of coffee, and then used it as a weapon to commit a robbery at an arcade on Tuesday.
‘He wasn’t going to pour coffee over her, he was going to hit her with the cup,’ a spokesman for local police said.
According to reports, the man ordered the coffee from a 26-year-old attendant at the arcade. Upon receiving the piping hot cup, he held it in a manner that suggested he intended to use it to assault her, and demanded the victim to hand over cash from the register. The suspect then fled the scene.
Police are still investigating the incident.
And just cuz I really, really enjoyed this COMPLETELY UNRELATED video from YouTube, I thought I’d share this with you:
A former Washington Redskins cheerleader who claimed a flu vaccine caused her to suffer a debilitating neurological disorder is now being suspected of lying about her condition. Desiree Jennings, 25, claimed she developed dystonia–a disease that caused dramatic spams and slurred speech–after she developed a flu shot last year. An investigation by Inside Edition caught her shopping, playing with dogs and driving. When a reporter confronted her about her incredible recovery, she began speaking in a foreign accent a la Crocodile Dundee and then began walking sideways to her car and suggested that she shouldn’t drive because she still hasn’t fully recovered from her condition.
"Oh boy," says weatherman Jim Kosek. "Oooooh boy!" Followed by on-air freak out that spreads panic throughout the city, making matters MUCH worse. Excellent... excellent... Everything is going according to plan, muahaha!"Oh boy," says weatherman Jim Kosek. "Oooooh boy!" Followed by... more
Breaking science update! A British physicist claims to the image of Michael Jackson in a droplet of hardened polymer solution.
From Physics World:
The ugly-looking globular mound is a droplet of polymer solution, the kind of substance you might find in the ink cartridges of your printer. As the solution began to dry, [physicist David] Fairhurst noticed a number of small “spherulites” begin to crystallise on the droplet surface revealing what appears to be a tiny human face.
The physicist and his group of PhD students reckon the face looks like a small girl, or possibly even the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
The first Google image search result for “ugly lesbians” yields two burly ladies with mullets, and gay rights organizations say a Florida Christian group used that image in press materials to reference their disapproval of “arrogant judicial activism” in a case where a lesbian couple won the right to adopt a 1-year-old child. In reality, the real couple look like this:
A zoo in China is facing criticism for allowing visitors to participate in an unlikely form of entertainment: They can pay to see tigers feed on a live animal.
The incredible moment at Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, China was captured by a tourist who said visitors can choose from a menu what they’d like to see the ferocious beasts eat. He witnessed chickens served as appetizers to the tigers (at a cost of $5.50), followed by a live cow (at a cost of $205)–dumped from a truck–and pounced on immediately. “It was dragged to the ground within seconds,” he told The Sun. And tourists relished in the attraction–taking photos and watching with binoculars from a bus nearby.
This mechanical-baby thingy is the latest breakthrough in robotics designed to “help researchers study how infants develop motor skills during the first year of life.” Named Diego-San, this creature is a prototype of a 1-year-old child developed by University of California researchers and a Japanese (of course) robotics firm.
It weighs 66 pounds and is 4’3” tall (like most 1-year-old babies), and does things like pick up bottles and sits and stands. Yeah, but can it juggle? The baby robot also has a HUGE HEAD that can make 20 different facial expressions, but clearly it prefers to express the emotion called “disgruntled.”

Syndicated advice columnist Dr. Paul Donohue answered a hysterical/WTF question from a reader in his column on Wednesday. I’m really shocked it made it in–as his column often dispenses “serious” medical advice. A woman writes in that her daughter told her to stop farting (which releases carbon dioxide) because it’s contributing to global warming. Taking the advice of her child, she posed the ULTIMATE question to the nationally recognized child psychologist/med expert: How can she stop farting to “go green.” SERIOUSLY?!!!!!!
Dear Dr. Donohue — My daughter complains that I flatulate more often than most individuals. Furthermore, she claims that the gas an individual passes contributes to global warming. I don’t know if I am physically able to keep my gas to myself to go green. Is my daughter really right?
Is your daughter for real? No human can stop the production of intestinal gas. Every human passes gas, including your daughter. People do so from 10 to 20 times a day.
Colon bacteria are responsible for gas production.
The major gases in colon-produced gas are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen. Traces of sulfur-containing gases are responsible for its unpleasant odor.
Greenhouse gases — the gases that blanket the earth and warm it— include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen and fluorocarbons. Most of the carbon dioxide that contributes to greenhouse effect comes from the use of fossil fuels — gas, oil, gasoline and coal. The majority of methane gas that adds to the greenhouse effect is derived from livestock, coal mining, drilling for oil and from garbage landfills.
Carbon dioxide is the byproduct of many industrial processes. If your daughter is truly worried over your contribution to the greenhouse effect, she should realize that her breathing contributes a significant amount of carbon dioxide to it. She blows out carbon dioxide with each exhalation. Humans contribute more than 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide to the yearly production of this greenhouse gas. No one suggests we stop breathing.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists Hercules the liger as the largest living cat on Earth–at 12 feet long and weighing more than 900 pounds. He’s lion/tiger crossbreed with the appetite of both animals combined, consuming 25 pounds of meat and a gallon of water a day. Hercules resides at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (T.I.G.E.R.S) in South Carolina, and was the offspring of an accidental romp between a female tiger and male lion.
Ligers are the result of male lions and female tigers crossbreeding, and are larger than either lions or tigers – unlike tiglons (male tiger/female lion crossbreeds), which are the same size as their parents.
After the jump, an image of a tiger/lion and a tiger/cheetah!
This is a tiglon (male tiger/female lion crossbreeds):
While we love the convenience of vending machines in the west, in Asia vending machines are not only everywhere, but they dispense everything (especially in Japan). From things you need to things you probably don’t even want, there’s almost definitely a vending machine that sells it. We found 20 of the most utterly unusual vending machines of Asia....
A jealous Australian gay man is accused of attempting to murder his ex-lover after he spotted him kissing a woman, a court was told.
Craig Munro, 34, followed 23-year-old Brendan Gannaway as he rode his bike to work at around 6:10 a.m. yesterday. That’s when Munro hit the man with his car–launching the victim 23-feet into the air. The force of the collision was so great that one of the victim’s shoes was found on the roof of a house two doors down. Incredibly, the victim survived with only scratches and bruises, and had seen the attack coming when he turned around. “I said okay, (expletive), I’m going to get hit,” he told the court.
According to reports, days earlier Munro was said to be furious when the victim rejected his demands for a more serious relationship. The two had only a casual sexual relationship for one month. And he was outraged further when he saw his ex-lover kissing a woman at a nightclub–and went home with her. That’s when he decided to kill Gannaway.
The suspect turned himself over to authorities half an hour after the attack and confessed to the murder attempt. “I told him I would kill him – I shouldn’t have done it,” Munro told a police officer. “I should have just bashed him.”
Munro faces charges of attempted murder, assault occasioning bodily harm and dangerous operation of a vehicle.
A well endowed Australian cabinet maker who exposed his penis and masturbated in front of female clients had his “skimpy shorts” destroyed and c*ck rings seized after a court found him guilty of performing 12 counts of indecent acts.
According to reports, Mark Stephen Owen, 50, wore “skimpy shorts” or stripped down to his underwear while he was contracted to renovate the kitchens of seven women between 1999 and 2008. The victims, ranging in age from 45 to 83, claim they were able to see an “extremely large penis” exposed by his revealing clothing.
Incredibly, the women were so desperate to have the work completed that they allowed him to finish the renovations.
A 45-year-old victim claims he stripped to his underwear, swam in her pool, then exposed his penis to her as he dried off with a towel. Later, he masturbated on her kitchen floor.
Another victim, who contacted him a second time–because she held a warranty–was flashed yet again, totaling five times.
And in another brazen act, a victim claims he exposed himself and rubbed cream onto his genitals while complaining of a rash.
Owen pleaded guilty to 12 counts of committing an indecent act in a public place with intent to insult and was given a nine month suspended jail sentence, three years probation and mandatory counseling. The court also seized his “skimpy shorts,” which were ordered destroyed. Incredibly, the defense asked the court to return his c*ck rings–a device used to enhance the size of a penis–but the judge denied the request. “I think he can do without them … so he won’t be tempted again,” he added.
A furious Thai quarry worker detonated a bomb in his home–killing himself and his wife–after a domestic dispute.
Investigators say a Thai quarry worker was so upset with his wife that he detonated an explosive device out of rage after the two quarreled. The blast was so great that villagers up to 31 miles away believed the explosion was an invasion by the Cambodian army.
According to reports, the 52-year-old man was head of the explosives team at a quarry, and had checked out 50 bars of C-4 explosives that were supposed to be returned to the depot. His brother-in-law, who also works at the quarry, told reporters that he believes that the explosives were intentionally set off after a heated argument–as his sister and her husband “were known to engage in fierce fighting.”
The house was completely destroyed and both bodies were thrown in different directions by the force of the blast. Police have been investigating the matter since November.
A UK school girl accidentally hanged herself as she was dancing to Lady GaGa songs.
Megan Williams, 10, was found with a dressing gown cord attached to her bunk bed wrapped, around her neck and unable to breath. The girl’s head got caught in the loop of the cord, and it slowly tightened and strangled her to death as she continued to dance.
“Her lips were blue. I shouted something like: ‘Oh My God. No!’ I saw the cord around her neck, I lifted it off her and saw a red mark on her neck,” her mother told reporters on the moment her son called her into Megan’s room.
After a failed attempt to revive her, she was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and died 24 hours later.
Just in case you think I think that christians comprise the only wingnut cult in the world, think again. Thanks to the aggressive policing policy of the mormon cult, it's not so easy to find videos that describe what they are about, but I finally managed to get to one video before the mormon thought police did, so you should watch this before it disappears (as its predecessors have).Just in case you think I think that christians comprise the only wingnut cult in the... more
A 99-year-old Brooklyn man ended up with a broken nose and two black eyes after a dispute about a parking space ignited a brawl with an 83-year-old man. Undaunted, the suspect even threatened to cut off the man’s private parts.
According to reports, Steve Pulwars, 99, was attacked on Monday with a “metal steering-wheel lock” after he asked Gersh Gofman, 83, to not block the driveway of his apartment building. The victim wanted to let him know that a doctor, who has an office in his building, was behind him and was trying to enter the parking lot that he had blocked with is car. That’s when things turned violent.
“The doctor honked the horn, one, two, three, four times,” Pulwers told the New York Post. “I say, ‘Gentleman, the doctor wants to go into the garage.’ He did not answer. He then got out and takes a metal tool and hits me. He knocked me to the ground.”
Gofman then pinned him to the ground and threatened him in Russian, the victim told police. “He said he was going to send somebody to cut off my balls.”
The doctor contacted authorities and Pulwars was arrested on and charged with assault, menacing and harassment.
This Mini Daddy person/man-child/blob, whose real name is Adriansito–or fatty–depending on your age group, is the most adorable, chubby cheeked boy I’ve ever seen (move over, Susan Boyle). I’m not sure if he’s to be taken seriously, or if he’s just another viral video of the moment, but the pre-pubescent skank ho back up chicks definitely give him “niño mas bonito” cred. I just hope they’re not jealous of his boobs.
Watch a female anaconda enjoy a “mating ball” (READ: orgy), where up to 12 male anacondas take turns inserting sperm into her body (I know what I want to be reincarnated as!!!). And she accommodates all of them! For those of you that think you may have seen something like this before, you may have already seen the Tara Reid sex tape.
An obese Cleveland woman accused of killing her very slim boyfriend by sitting on him, has been sentenced to only three years probation for taking his life last summer.
According to reports, Mia Landingham, who is believed to be 300 pounds, and the victim Mikal Middleton-Bey, who weighed 120 pounds, had a history of domestic abuse. The couple shared three children together. After an altercation, Landingham sat on him–using her incredible weight to crush him. The victim died by suffocation.
“I just want to say that I am sincerely sorry about this situation,” Landingham told the courtroom during her sentencing on Wednesday. “I wish I could take it back.”
The suspect, who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and had no previous criminal record, was sentenced to three years probation and 100 hours community service.
The victim‘s family is disappointed with the outcome, “So basically you can say that I can go sit on somebody and get probation? I feel there wasn’t no justice. My brother’s gone and all she get is three years probation.”
