Protect your rights to pee!

It’s a common problem we all face when on a night out – when you need to have a pee but can’t because you’re outside/in a cab/on a bus. Most of us can attest to finding a back alley somewhere and letting rip when you just couldn’t hold it in any longer (well, the men [...]

Man pays $20k tax bill with change

A while back I posted a story about a man in the US who paid for a new truck with coins – well here is an even better one. A landlord who is sick of the higher taxes he has to pay because he rents properties out rather than living in them decided to waste [...]

Free caviar for the poor

I think I’m living in the wrong country. The reason is that in Italy, this year they have decided to give away 40kg of fine beluga caviar to the poor of the city of Milan after it was seized in November during a raid.
According to the customs officers, it was snagged when two Polish couriers [...]

Eau de Cheeseburger

Do you like burgers? Maybe Burger King gets you all excited, the thoughts of sinking your teeth into a big hunk of savoury heaven which will send your health to hell running through your mind all day until you get your fix. In a lot of ways, you could be considered a junkie. So what [...]

Ways to beat the credit crunch

If, like so many people, you are being affected by the ‘terminal state of the world economy’ then you may think all hope is lost. You may well think it is time to pack the kids, get a Volkswagen Camper van and sell up to begin a life on the road, fending for yourselves and [...]

Odd goals galore

I was routing round the webbernets the other day when I came upon a few videos of some of the weirdest goals you can find, so I thought I would share them with you, the unwashed masses.

This is a goal by Sweden against Iceland in a Euro 2008 – it seems that the Iceland team [...]

So you’ve just found some Chinese Furniture randomly (don’t ask me how, you’re the one with fancy furniture lying around that you just ‘forgot’ about, philistine). Now you’re wondering what you can do with it. Well, look no further! I have many great ideas for you… Well, some. OK, maybe one. Or none.

Real life Mario Kart

Yes, someone has taken Mario Kart to the next level and made it REAL (and with power-ups too!) The man who has to be congratulated on furthering the cause of the Almighty Kart is one RĂ©mi Gaillard, a French prankster who you may have heard of before – he has managed to fake his way [...]

Don’t drink and legislate

Aussies are a unique culture – some say they take the best bits of British and American culture before stewing it with a few beers over a BBQ. Others say they’re completely insane and are just a bunch of convicts, so its horses for courses I guess.
Aside from this, they do have the odd good [...]

If Carlsberg made commercials…

They would be the craziest in the world…

Looking for some bargains this Thanksgiving (assuming you’re American)? Then look no further than CRAAAAZY GIDEON! He will sort you out with some low low priced electronic goods, and he will give you permanent eardrum damage in with it in some form of sadistic bargain deal.
This guy scares [...]
