UFO Hunters!

An extremely funny news story, A mysterious cylindrical object is sitting 300 feet at the bottom of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland, and nobody knows what it is -- yet.

Deep sea divers using remote-controlled cameras are heading to the site on Friday. They'll try to determine the exact identity of the object, which side-scan sonar first revealed in June 2011.

"My guess is that they won't find anything. They may just find a large roundish rock,"well-known skeptic Benjamin Radford, deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, told The Huffington Post.

"Side-scan sonar is not a photograph and it can create false echoes, so it's not crystal clear what exactly it is that you're recording," Radford said. "The object that we're talking about is basically flush with the ocean floor, and side-scan sonar is much less reliable for things like that." Talk about weird news!

In what's been compared to an episode of "The X-Files," Peter Lindberg, captain of the Ocean Explorer, and his co-researcher Dennis Asberg made global headlines last year when they presented sonar images of a nearly 200-foot-wide circular anomaly -- looking very much like the fictitious Millennium Falcon spacecraft from the "Star Wars" movies.

"We don't know whether it is a natural phenomenon or an object," Lindberg told Fox News.

The researchers will spend between six and 10 days at the site, using sonar to create 3D images of the bottom of the specified part of the Baltic Sea.

Explanations for the odd anomaly include a meteor, a naturally-occurring gas well and the possible remains of a 19th-century Russian warship.

Of course, let's not forget about all of those hopeful souls who would love this to turn out to be a crash-submerged spacecraft from another world.

"If this were a UFO, that would indeed be a strange thing," Asberg told Fox News. "I'm just not sure, but we'll see soon."

Radford, who is also the author of "Scientific Paranormal Investigation: How To Solve Unexplained Mysteries," said he thinks the weird and funny news will only continue if the divers don't find anything.

"Because then they'll say, 'Whoa, hold on here. We have this image that was taken in 2011. How come they're going back there and not finding it there?'" Radford said. "And there will be conspiracies about that."

Falling sheep Hit Cars!

Counting sheep has never been so horrific.

Check out this funny news story, A truck carrying some 400 livestock crashed, rolled and hung over an Australian overpass Wednesday night, sending sheep flying onto the highway below and demolishing several cars in their wake.

No humans were severely injured, but Fox News reports that all the sheep had to be put down.

The gruesome aftermath, caught by Herald Sun photographers, shows a livestock truck on its side on a bridge over Princess Highway in Melbourne. Hundreds of sheep, injured or dead, lay strewn across four lanes of traffic as cops investigate.

At least three cars were totalled as sheep flew onto the highway, and one 30-year-old man suffered minor cuts and bruises.

Emergency officials said they were surprised nobody was badly wounded by this funny news story.

"It's miraculous," an ambulance worker told Fox News.

The truck wreckage was so tightly wrapped around the overpass that it was difficult to move without heavy equipment. The truck driver wasn't hurt, and no charges are pending.

Vrgin with 14 kids?

You heard it right. Although it is not some magical, alien occurrence, it is still quite the story.

Trent Arsenault, a 36 year old man has fathered 14 healthy children throughout his life as a sperm donor. He claims he has the "ideal gene pool" for fathering children. I think that can be debated...

He explained on Anderson Cooper's daytime show what his thoughts were on his generous donating.
"I coined this term 'donor sexual' and I'll explain it means 100 per cent of my sexual energy is for producing sperm for childless couples to have babies. So I don't have other activity outside of that."

Maybe this is all just an excuse for his friends as to why he remains a virgin...
Maybe he's just so obsessed with the movie "40-year Old Virgin" that he wants to become it..
Maybe he's secretly gay..
 
What do you guys think?

Getting drunk from a tampon!

Yes, you read it correctly. Some teenagers are going to extreme lengths to get drunk the fastest way possible.

You might've seen this one on the news already but it most definitely worth re-posting for those unaware. This quick video basically sums up the story.

I'm all for getting drunk and having a good time, but really? Sticking tampons up your ass in order to do so? REALLY?

That's just taking it TOO FAR. Just imagine some teenagers ready to go out, then they all grab their alcohol soaked tampons and stick them up their ass. Wait, don't imagine that..

But still. Too far guys...too far...

Amish men jailed!

Bit of an ironic situation as my last post they were the victims. Well, on to the story anyways.

The first of the 10 Amish has already been sent to jail for 10 days. They are all being charged with refusing to face fines for breaking the state highway rules in Kentucky. The law being that their horse drawn carts are required to have reflective orange triangles on the back of their vehicles.

Once again the men have a religious objection to the bright orange signs, which they say are flashy and conflict with their pledge to live low-key and religious lives.

Seems like their 'low-key' lifestyle is causing a bit of trouble for themselves and their families.

Defendents plead Not Guilty to beard cutting!

10 men and 2 women were indicted on seven counts for their part in unusual attacks starting September 2011. Most of these charges being 'bear and hair cutting assaults'. As the assaults were taking place in a tight-knit Amish community, the attacks were considered especially egregious because the beard is a symbol of a man's identity among the Amish and women in the community do not cut their hair for biblical reasons

3 of the accused pictured above

 The judge has release 5 of the defendants on a $20,000 bond, setting a trial date for March 19.

This case seems so surreal to me. I have never experienced an Amish culture nor ever seen an Amish person in real life. I just can't seem to fathom people going around and cutting off other peoples beards as a federal hate crime. I apologize if you think I'm being ignorant about this.

Worlds's Smallest Frog!

Measuring in at an average of just 7.7 millimeters long, or 0.3 inches for you Americans, the Paedophryne amauensis now holds the title for the world's smallest frog. Beating its competitor by 0.2 millimeters. Just think about that for a second, less than 1cm long.

It has become the worlds smallest known vertebrate, the same size of a housefly. It was found during a study in  Papua New Guinea back in August 2009 but only 'formally described' in January 2011. Who says animals are only going extinct and not evolving into new species?

Some interesting facts about the frog:

• Its life cycle does not include a tadpole stage.
• They are capable of jumping 30 times their length.
• They feed on small invertebrates such a mites.

 Kind of a weird question, but would you rather have a 'normal' sized frog, or 100 of these little fellas?

Lion tries to attack a little girl!

The video basically sums it up for this story.

Taken from the description.
"Nerves of steel and safety glass are what you need when face to face with a lion and three year old Sophia Walker benefited from both during a close encounter with one of the Wellington Zoo's lions.

Sophia's mum filmed the interaction with the little girl barely flinching in her face off with six year old lion Malik. Zoo staff say Sophia was never in any danger with the enclosure glass thirty three millimetres thick and designed not to shatter or break."

I'm just saying, I wouldn't had a heart attack if that happened to me.

Couldn't help but laugh at this comment.
"Lion: WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!?!?!?!?!?!"

$34,000, the worlds most expensive tea!

And the secret ingredient? Putting it bluntly, panda shit.

An Yanshi, a former calligraphy teacher, has recently entered into the tea business and made it his goal to produce the worlds most expensive tea using quite a peculiar ingredient. He has purchased 11 tonnes of panda shit to fertilize a tea crop in the mountains of Sichuan, home to the gentle giants.

He says he is deadly serious about his new project as he quit his old job at the university to put his heart and soul into his panda shit experiment.

So would you pay a whopping $34,000 to be drink this stuff?
Would you even drink it for free?

This is An Yanshi. Enough said.

There a Crocodile in my house!

Some people like to have a good alarm clock to wake them up. Turning the volume up to maximum, using your most hated song as the sound or even hiding the clock so you have to get up and find it. Maybe the most effective though, a crocodile in your lounge room.

A Darwin family had the not so pleasant experience of being woken up by their braking dog only to find it was barking at a 1.7m salt water crocodile a mere 3m from the bedroom. Luckily they were able to fend of the beast with an acoustic guitar.

Neighbours also say 15 crocodiles suspected of escaping from the Darwin Crocodile Farm had turned up on their properties over the past five years.

What would you do if one of these were in your lounge when you woke up?

Name changed to "Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop"

There doesn't seem to be a lack of idiotic criminals in the world for you guys!

Born Jeffrey Drew Wilschke he changed his name to Beezow Doo-Doo Zoopittybop-Bop-Bop last October. Who really knows why he changed it. Maybe he knew he would eventually get caught and thought he would make world news for his obscure name. If he did plan it that way, I still can't tell if hes smart, a smart idiot or just a plain idiot!

He was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a violation of probation in Madison, Wisconsin.One more thing,
on his way to the prison, Beezow Doo-Doo Zoopittybop-Bop-Bop allegedly told cops that he would eventually "get even with them."

So how many of you successfully read his name?
Have to admit it, it took me a couple of tries..
