Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Yes, but were the lasers attached to sharks?
Woman gets third breast to avoid dates. So... now she won't get any normal people asking her out? What was this plan good for again? Also, a third boob wouldn't end up there. We know a thing or two about breast development and that's just unrealistic.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
I'm wondering if I've found the origin of the Evil Grand Vizier trope. Saladin - yes, the famous one - became Vizier to one of the current Caliphs, undermined his power, and after his death took over the government and aligned the state with a different ruler.

In the Clarendon Library of Oxford University there is a battery powered bell that has been ringing...very quietly...since 1840. What horrible thing lies underneath that library which is repelled by bell ringing?

Or treasure guarded by a dragon that never sleeps as long as its alarm clock continuously rings?

It's probably no accident that the electric piles driving the thing were coated in molten sulfur.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
In Lakewood, NJ, a heavily Orthodox Jewish community where people take seriously an obligation to give when asked, Jewish panhandlers who get word of a high concentration of generous marks have been going around to people's houses so often that some are getting hit up two to four times a day.
The town has taken to licensing beggars, through a municipal institution called Tomchei Tzedakah. The licensing system serves several purposes, including vetting beggars with dubious stories. (It also licenses people seeking donations for charitable organizations.) Quote:
