Piss Bucket Surprise

‘These guys invite their buddy over and tell him to come through the back door because the front is locked. When he gets below their window they drench him with a bucket of their urine. These are great friends to have.’

Rockets for sale on streets

`As many as 20 rocket launchers have been smuggled into Australia from the Middle East and are on sale for as much as $50,000 each in Sydney’s underworld.

The weapons were obtained by a Sydney criminal gang to fight a turf war, but authorities fear they could end up in the hands of terrorists.

A Sunday Telegraph investigation has revealed the B-7 type rocket launchers, also known as RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenades, are being offered for sale on the black market for between $15,000 and $50,000.

The rocket launchers have been in the possession of at least one Sydney crime gang since about 2002, police believe.’


Forgetful? Virus may be eating your brain

`Forget where you left your glasses? Did those keys go missing again? A virus may be to blame.

Viruses that cause a range of ills from the common cold to polio may be able to infect the brain and cause steady damage, a team at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota reports. [..]

“Our findings suggest that picornavirus infections throughout the lifetime of an individual may chip away at the cognitive reserve, increasing the likelihood of detectable cognitive impairment as the individual ages,” the researchers write.

“We hypothesise that mild memory and cognitive impairments of unknown aetiology may, in fact, be due to accumulative loss of hippocampus function caused by repeated infection with common and widespread neurovirulent picornaviruses.”‘


Anus Magillicutty

I came across this on a torrent search engine. A 699meg video (apparently) file called Anus Magillicutty.avi. That’s all the information available on the file, and there’s no clue at all to what it might actually be a video of.

I don’t know what it is, and I don’t really want to spend time downloading it to find out. So, it’s going to have to remain a mystery for now.

The Mystery of Anus Magillicutty, I call it. What could it be?

I’m guessing it’s either a full length movie about Mr Magillicutty who’s having sphincter troubles, or it’s a very short, very high resolution video of an anus.

Possibly involving an endoscope.

If anyone has bandwidth to spare, why don’t you download it and let me know what’s inside? :)

`Welcome to the Official Australian Fuckwit Website !

This website is dedicated to the masses of bored shitless TV viewers around the nation, sick of the reality garbage that infests our screens nightly – fuck it’s worse enough watching corpses being cut up and examined on every other channel without being subject to the living ones as well !’


Mysterious “Spider Boat”

`These pictures were taken in the Port of Ilwaco on the Washington State coast. The crew wore civilian clothes but guarded the boat closely and would not answer any questions. It was suggested it may be something Boeing is working on. The pontoons appear to be made of very thick rubber and may be fuel cells. Note that each of the steel spider-like legs are jointed in three places. Perhaps the boat can be lowered in calm seas and raised when it is rough. The boat had no name or number…’

Ten ways to sacrifice a virgin

`6) DROWN THEM IN A BARREL

Water is acceptable, but this method’s implied ostentation suggests something more sumptuous is required.

Mead, whisky or absinthe, should your budget stretch so far, are all worthy submergents. For less well-funded cults, Mateus rose and Daddies sauce will suffice if no-one’s checking the receipts.’


Young disabled girl ‘kept small’

`In a controversial treatment, doctors in the US have given a severely disabled child drugs to keep her small and ‘manageable’ for her parents.

In a report published in a medical journal this month, the doctors described a six-year-old girl with profound, irreversible developmental disability who was given high doses of estrogen to permanently halt her growth so that her parents could continue to care for her at home.

The controversial growth-attenuation treatment, which included hysterectomy, was requested by the child’s parents and initiated after careful consultation and review by an ethics committee. ‘

Tom Cruise Gets PWN3D. Again.

`Sumner Redstone – the head of Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures – isn’t done ripping into Tom Cruise just yet. Nine weeks after he leveled Cruise in the press and effectively fired him from Paramount, Redstone says he doesn’t regret a thing:

“He was embarrassing the studio. And he was costing us a lot of money … (My wife), like women everywhere, had come to hate him … His behavior was entirely unacceptable … he just didn’t turn one [woman] off, he turned off all women, and a lot of men.”

Redstone estimates that Cruise’s public meltdowns cost Paramount between 100 and 150 million dollars, saying that “Mission: Impossible III was the best picture of the three, and it did the worst,” so he has no regrets if he embarrassed Cruise [..]’


Gay sex forces closure of store toilets

`The closure of customer toilets in a Myer store due to rampant homosexual activity has exposed a massive list of venues being used by members of a gay website as hook-up points.

Among the places listed as meeting spots for men “cruising for sex”, on squirt.org, is the Royal Australian Air Force’s Richmond base and Sydney Opera House’s toilets.

Management at Myer’s Sydney city store in Pitt Street were forced to close its level one toilet to the public because homosexuals were using the facility as a meeting point, often having sex in full view of other horrified users.’


How To Steal Valve Logins

Some guy is trying to get login information for a Valve account over a chat program. Luckily the guy saved the chat logs, ’cause they’re kinda funny. :)


Ring! Ring! It’s time to make love

`A new mobile phone available through Japan’s NTT DoCoMo can ring to let would-be mothers know when they reach the most fertile part of their monthly reproductive cycles.

By tapping in data on menstruation dates, the user can program the phone to alert her three days before ovulation and again on the day. The company warns that the calculations are based on average cycles.

The new phone comes after Japan’s fertility rate – the average number of children a woman bears in her lifetime – fell to an all-time low of 1.25 in 2005, sparking worries about a shrinking population.’


The Dog Who Loved to Suck on Toads

`A dog may be man’s best friend. But one dog, Lady, decided she needed more friends — and she found plenty in the knot of toads living at the local pond. A suburban family’s secret struggle with an uncommon addiction comes to light in this personal essay by NPR’s Laura Mirsch. [..]

“We couldn’t keep our dog’s addiction a secret any longer,” Laura Mirsch says. “The neighbors all knew that Lady was a drug addict, and soon the other dogs weren’t allowed to play with her.”‘


Miami Zoo Hosts Poop Exhibit

`Now on display is a 5,000-square-foot exhibit on excrement titled “The Scoop on Poop,” which invites visitors to explore the science of scat. The exhibit is filled with photos of animals in some of their most indelicate moments. Stool sample models abound: haylike football-sized balls (elephant), kidney-bean-looking pellets (porcupine) and coallike lumps coated with fur (black bear).

Beyond the “ick” factor, however, zoo officials and the exhibit’s creators say there is a lot of information being imparted. Visitors can smell the stench of flowers that mimic dung to attract flies for pollination. Videos include one of a hippo spreading its droppings around to mark its territory. Simple games include “Who Dung It?”’


Shatner likes Jeri’s ‘girls’

`William Shatner is obsessed with breasts, according to US TV star Jeri Ryan.

The blonde beauty revealed that when she worked with the ‘Star Trek’ actor on the hit TV series ‘Boston Legal’ he was only interested in talking about her ample bosom – which she nicknamed ‘The Girls’.

Asked whether they ever discussed the cult sci-fi film franchise she said: “Not really. He mainly talked about ‘The Girls’.”‘

Gun blast ignites fireworks shop

`A man attempting to rob a fireworks shop fired his shotgun, igniting fireworks and starting a blaze that destroyed the business, authorities said.

No injuries were reported at North American Fireworks, the Vilas County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Saturday. A 20-year-old man was being held in jail after being tracked to a home about 10 miles away.’


Teen Arrested for Raping His Mother

`Police say a Marshall County teen raped his mother to get revenge on his brother.

Police say 19-year-old Gary Helms, Jr., raped his 45-year-old mother this past weekend at Willow Terrace Trailer Park on Doyle Drive in Albertville.

It’s a twisted crime that police say Helms admits.

“From what we understand the rape stemmed from an argument between him and his brother. And apparently they were arguing over a girlfriend. And the rape was some sort of retaliation towards his brother,” said Sgt. Jamie Smith of the Albertville Police Department.’


Elephants pass mirror test of self-awareness

`Elephants have been found to recognise themselves in a mirror, putting them in an exclusive club of self-awareness whose other members are great apes (including humans) and bottlenose dolphins. [..]

An 8ft mirror was put in the elephant enclosure at the Bronx zoo in New York and a watch kept on its three inhabitants. The first question was if they greeted their reflection as if meeting another individual – they did not make this mistake, and used the mirror to inspect themselves, for example, moving their trunks to look at the inside of their mouths.’

Complete Audio of the Execution Tapes

`Below is the complete collection of subpoenaed Georgia execution tapes, totaling more than eight hours of audio. These RealAudio files are transfers of the raw, unedited tapes. Some of the tapes begin after the execution has started or end before the procedure has been completed. Any gaps in the files exist on the original tapes themselves.’


How to Burn a Three Terabyte CD

`A new nano-optical device can focus laser light tighter than traditional optics, which could lead to higher-density data storage.

A computer simulation of the optical nano antenna that Harvard researchers have fabricated. Consisting of two gold-coated nano rods separated by a 30-nanometer gap, the antenna can focus light from a commercial laser to a spot just 40 nanometers wide. It could be used to write terabytes, rather than gigabytes, of data to a CD or DVD.’


Family Meal Ruined By Urine Thrower

`The family of four was enjoying a meal together at Pizza Piazza in the High Street at about 9.15pm on October 16 when they were approached at their table by the suspect, who was carrying a clear plastic bag containing what police believe to be urine.

He was heard to say “This is for you” and then threw the liquid over the family and their food. He then quickly walked out of the restaurant.

A waitress in the restaurant called the police who did not arrive immediately, leaving the family sitting in urine-soaked clothes for more than 30 minutes.’

Fridge Falls On Local Woman, Traps Her For 4 Days

`69-year-old Inga Walen’s refrigerator was top heavy and as she leaned in to open the fridge door, it fell forward, toppling her.

Inga tried calling for help any way she could. At first she grabbed some shattered glass pieces that fell on top of her during the accident, and she threw them at her kitchen window to draw attention and make noise. After that didn’t work, she then managed to grab a wooden spoon and a pressure cooker lid, and banged the two together as she called for help.

Luckily by the fourth day, Greg Allen, a politician running for the Placer County Water Board, heard Inga’s call for help while going door-to-door campaigning. He found an unlocked door and ran in to save Inga’s life.’

Four days banging on a pressure cooker with a wooden spoon. Heh.
