Here's an entire family that is barely haning on. Imagine have the people from Extreme Makeover show up, demo your existing shack and build you a dream home. Imagine having 1800 people to show up and help build it. "The finished product was a four-bedroom house with decorative rock walls and a three-car garage that towered over. Materials and labor were donated for the home, which would have cost about $450,000 to build. Beazer Homes' employees and company partners also raised $250,000 in contributions for the family, including scholarships for the couple's three children and a home maintenance fund."

How do you show your appreciation? Turn around three years later and use it to secure a $450,000 loan to start a construction company. Which ultimately fails.  No word yet on if they have found a new show to help them move into their cardboard box.

Well it gives a new spin on buying somebodies used underwear. A pair of Queen Victories used underpants just sold to a Canadian woman for $9,000. Growing up Canadian we all have memories of pictures of the younger Queen in our schools and hockey arenas but I never realized how much of a looker she was in her later years. The bloomers are a waist size 50, crotchless to boot and she was only 5 ft tall. Adding to the picture was a chemise, with a 66-inch bust that sold for $11,000. That's a lot of woman.

As an avid golfer that has witnessed a few holes in one but never had one it's amazing to see somebody get two in one round. "According to a 2000 Golf Digest article cited by the Traverse City Record-Eagle, the odds of one player making two holes-in-one during the same round are 67 million to 1." Now that is incredible. Not only that but this 66 year old man can hit a pretty good ball by the sounds of things. "The 66-year-old Grayling man used a 7-iron to card his first-ever ace Thursday on the 167-yard 10th hole at Marsh Ridge in Gaylord. Then Hickey used an 8-iron to ace the 147-yard 17th hole."  What sucks though is he was still 2 over par.

Small story so here is a headless golfer.

What a joker! Check out this winner. Three Rivers Police Department arrested Spencer Taylor, 20, of Three Rivers, Mich. who they say tried to steal posters and other items related to the new Batman movie from a cinema lobby. The joke, he was dressed up as the Joker. Police officers were dispatched early Sunday, July 27, 2008 to the Three Rivers 6 theater arrived to find employees restraining a man wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint in the style of Batman's nemesis in 'The Dark Knight.' Twenty years old and just barely hanging on.

Hey it's his lawn mower so he can do whatever he wants to it right? I guess not. Especially if you are packing a sawed off shotgun. A Milwaukee man was accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start. Keith Walendowski, 56, was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed. Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted. It might have been cheaper to pay the neighbors kid $10 to cut the lawn.

Yesterday Google News reported that the head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer. I caught the story on Howard Stern. Howard had commented on how cell phones can be used to pop popcorn and must be dangerous. Pretty neat, so I thought I would investigate. Below is the You Tube clip that shows three cell phones making popcorn. Seems easy enough. After a quick check on Snopes.com however it appears to be an urban legend. The last paragraph explains it all at Cell Phone Popcorn Urban Legend.

Here's something you don't get to see everyday. A six legged deer that looks very health. Unfortunately he the two extra legs withstanding he ran into a pack of dogs that weren't of the friendly type. The deer was saved though and is currently being nursed back to health.

Jessica Simpson is on a destructive path. Ruining the Dallas Cowboys Superbowl dreams just wasn't enough for this top notch celeb. Jessica Simpson has also set her sites on destroying country and western festivals by singing awful cover songs. I am not sure what other festivals she plans on ruining but we will keep you updated as she goes. One festival goer was quoted as saying, "I just don't hear the country in her; I don't hear the twang. She's not good enough to be here." If you see Jessica near any country and western ho down near you please let authorities know.
