Barking Preying Mantis

This is a very amazing video.

Well! I didn't know a Preying Mantis could bark. As soon as I saw this, I thought 'must be Australian... they have some of the most bizarre critters down thar...' And sure enough, look what's on the screen. I wonder if the Mantis ever catches that cursor?

Airport Prank... Bad Idea!

I'm all in favor of pranks... but what the heck could this guy have been thinking? It sounds like he was fired for this... Not enough! I would think there must be some law to prosecute this guy.


PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A college student returning to school after the winter break fell victim to a prank at Philadelphia's airport by a Transportation Security Administration worker who pretended to plant a plastic bag of white powder in her carryon luggage.

The worker is no longer employed by the TSA after the incident this month, a spokeswoman said.

Rebecca Solomon, 22, a University of Michigan student, wrote in a column for her campus newspaper that she was having her bags screened on Jan. 5 before her flight to Detroit when the employee stopped her, reached into her laptop computer bag and pulled out the plastic bag, demanding to know where she had gotten the powder.

In the Jan. 10 column for The Michigan Daily, she recounted how she struggled to come up with an explanation, wondering if it was bomb-detonating material slipped in by a terrorist or drugs put there by a smuggler.

"He let me stutter through an explanation for the longest minute of my life," Solomon wrote. "Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with him to understand that I'd never seen this baggie before."

A short time later, she said, the worker smiled and said it was his.

The worker "waved the baggie at me and told me he was kidding, that I should've seen the look on my face," she said.

Solomon said she asked to speak to a supervisor and filled out a complaint, and during that process was told that the man was training TSA workers to detect contraband. Two days later, she said, she was told he had been disciplined.

"I had been terrified and disrespected by an airport employee," she said. "He'd joked about the least funny thing in air travel."

There was no answer Saturday at a telephone listing for Solomon at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. An e-mail message seeking comment from her was sent Saturday by The Associated Press, and a telephone message was left at her parents' home in suburban Philadelphia.

TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis told The Philadelphia Inquirer she did not dispute the student's account and said the employee was no longer with the agency, though she declined to say whether he had been fired or quit. She also declined to identify the worker or his job title, citing privacy laws.

"TSA viewed this behavior to be completely inappropriate and unprofessional," Davis said in a statement. "The employee was immediately disciplined by TSA management at the Philadelphia airport."

TSA representatives did not return calls Saturday seeking comment.

What kind of idiot would think this would be funny, or ok?

This Page Intentionally Left Blank

This Page Intentionally Left Blank

This is the dumbest thing Ive seen in a long time... and I see dumb things all the time. The theory is that an occasional blank page on the internet is going to add some serenity and calmness to your life. If that were so, i could just turn off my monitor for a few seconds and get a truly blank page.

And what about an homage to books of old which often had a page or two with nothing but 'This Page Intentionally Left Blank'? I am sure the creators of those books would roll there eyes and shake their heads at this. Because they did not intend to insert some blank pages, they were forced into the situation by the technology at the time.

I don't use the internet to find nothing.

A truck flipped over a guardrail on a very high bridge. It appears the only thing preventing it from falling to the valley below is one of the rear tires and the fuel tank cap are hooked over the guardrail.

Amazing! It appears the only thing preventing it from falling to the valley below is one of the rear tires and the fuel tank cap are hooked over the guardrail.

Now we take you back to a time before political correctness. Do you remember when ad's like this were ok? I'm trying not to. It makes it hard to be anti-politically correct.
ummm... you know what i mean...

I'm glad I don't live in the city, I'd be tempted to get one of these. I am going to put this in the category 'Bizzare' I think it will fit well... ;)



Edit: I just found the price of this thing on their website and it is 3500 to 3900 euros, which according to Google is 5,250.70 to 5,850.78 U.S. dollars... Yikes... that's way steep!
The 68 Most Bizarre And Perilous Bridges | WebUrbanist

Awesome video:

"To put it quite simply, this bridge is crazy dangerous. Would you be brave enough, or perhaps stupid enough, to cross El Camino Del Ray? Translated, this means The King's Pathway. It is in total disrepair and is a death trap in Spain. About 700 feet up along the El Chorro gorge, the narrow path is three feet wide in places where it's not crumbled away. There are hardly any handrails. Can you imagine crossing this, nevertheless filming it as you go? It would either be insane, or insanely fun."





So how 'bout it... up for a stroll? At any moment more of the walkway could crumble beneath your feet... Note the thin steel wire onto which you clip a climbers harness. You'll need it, no doubt! Insane, my ass!

What the???
