Shocking, Funny, Dumb and Weird News from All Over the Planet
From Buying Used Underwear to the Other Potty Problem and Redneck Picnic Fun
Far from the normal, funny and weird headlines, news, advertisements and billboards across the world have been found and collected by truth seekers and eagle eyes around the planet to entertain your thoughts; making for some fantastic moments in time that may enhance a deep down belly laugh, or not.
Please Buy My Used Underwear, The Stains are Free!
Octomom, Nadya Suleman is having a yard sale, and you are invited to try and help her to avoid foreclosure on her house by purchasing her used bras and underwear. But hey, they have been autographed by the famous mother of 14, so they should be worth millions, right? Ummm Yuk! I don't think so. Through efforts of the combined formats, with a play-by-play from Tattoo, bidders can buy trinkets, toys, and the couch that octomom lounged on when she first discovered her unusual pregnancy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/searchS/?q=octomom
Another strange piece of news from octomom comes straight from the horse's mouth, and her need to share with all of us that she hasn't knocked Octo-Boots, or in other words, had a booty call in more than a decade, despite some extremely lucrative offers.
Did you Know?
Toothpicks are the number one object that people choke on and survive, but sadly, one-hundred people die every year by choking to death on ballpoint pens.
The word typewriter is the longest word that can be made using the letters from only one row on the keyboard, and the only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.
Redneck Picnic Fun
Pour 2,347 boxes of green Jell-O into a child's swimming pool, add boiling water until the Jell-O is about ¾ from the top of the pool, and chill for two days or until set. Keep in a cool place.
How Big is your Mouth?
The man with the biggest mouth in the world is none other than 20 year-old Francisco Domingo Joaquim. He can currently fit seven Granny Smith apples into his pie hole. His natural talent won him a featured spot in the Book of Guinness World Records 2011, which he claims is" a dream come true". http://www.mizozo.com/weird/10/2010/28/francisco-domingo-joaquim-man-with-the-widest-mout....html
Strange Facts on Past Presidents
James Madison barely weighed 100 pounds, and Calvin Coolidge used to ring the white house doorbell and hide. A reporter once bet President Calvin Coolidge that he could get more than 2 words from him. The comedic President took on the challenge and replied "You Lose". http://therandomforest.com/weird-presidential-facts/
Alka Seltzer for the Other Potty Problems
Most of us are most certainly familiar with the famous "Plop Plop Fizz Fizz, oh what a relief it is" jingle. And while this catchy little tune is referring to the benefits of cold, upset stomach and heartburn relief that the product offers; did you know that the effervescent antacid has been tried and tested for a few other strange uses as well?
1. Alka-Seltzer has been found to cure other potty problems like urinary tract infections in people who risked trying the dissolved two tablet/water concoction over modern medication by drinking it immediately after the onset of the first symptoms. Risk takers claim that the over the counter product eliminated their urinary tract infection almost instantly. However, the product has never been advertised for this use.
2. Forget the Clorox bleach; just soak your dingy whites in a solution of two Alka Seltzer tablets and a gallon of water to brighten them. Hang in the sun to dry to get rid of any stubborn stains.
3. You are actually going green when you choose Alka Seltzer for cleaning your toilet bowl. Its properties include aspirin, citric acid, and baking soda, all of which are eco-friendly. Just drop two tablets into your toilet bowl, sing plop plop fizz fizz three times, and scrub away. Your bowl should now be shiny and ready for anything.
The Gatorade Hangover Remedy
You can alleviate your Saturday morning hangover by simply guzzling a bottle of
Gatorade. Your dehydrated body will absorb it more quickly than water or fruit juice, making you more prepared for your Sunday hangover by maintaining your body's balance of electrolytes, which regulate the body's electrochemical balance.

Interesting stuff! And a good read! :D
Ewww...LOL and OMG!! :-)
good job :)
Cool stuff- I use Alka Seltzer for impending female issues, and YES it works!!! I used to always drink Pedialyte for hangovers, since Gatorade would make me puke horrendously (which I probably needed anyway). Pedialyte would make "the spins" go away fast!
good work!
Clever
I like it. You've added another smile to a cloudy day. Thanks for sharing all the wacky information. Looking forward to more soon.
Sherri I think you must have really enjoyed writing this article. :)
