Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy...

A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong. Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang. However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery. The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu. The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and...

"Unexpected Swallowing of a Knife" -- that's a grabbier title than most ones you see in medical journals. The short item, a clinical image in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, explains that a 30-year-old woman with a history of bulimia had been bragging to friends that she no longer had a gag reflex. She put the knife into her mouth and then laughed -- at which point she swallowed the knife.

Newest 'cannibal': Karl Laventure apparently told police he wanted to eat their faces Laventure appeared out of some woods and was seen running naked around a golf range near Atlanta, swinging a club around his head and screaming. At first, they tried using pepper spray to stop him, but that left him undeterred. 'He didn't even wipe his eyes, he just kept them open,' They then turned to their Tasers and though that momentarily shocked Laventure to the ground, it did not stop him.Trouble: It took several police officers a significant amount of effort to subdue Karl Laventure when he...

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up. Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's...

A couple of hours ago receive a hard knock on the door. I answered the door and about 7 or 8 agents all flashing badges (claiming to be FBI and/or CIA) rushed me and pushed me against the far wall. My dog attacked and they would have shot him had I not broken free for a second and covered him by laying him on the floor beneath me. After things calmed down a bit and I received assurances that nothing would happen to him if I placed him in the bedroom and closed the door. I did so and they...

I deposit the Risk into the account of a dummy finance company for management, called the republican party. Then, I deposit the damage into the account of a dummy corporation for control, called the democratic party.

And the Black market is pimped as bad but, even losing even your kindeys in a...

I thought it up a year ago after I got fired from Wendys. I needed a quick way to make money so I printed it out on my computer using a scanner. I...
