An Elephant on the loose!

It seems as if the circus is having more and more trouble keeping their animals at bay. A few months ago, a zebra escaped in Atlanta and ran around on the interstate causing traffic for miles (read here). Now the land of chocolate has fallen prey to a crazy elephant who decided peanuts were no longer good enough as a paycheck. No word yet if she is part of a union.

Rumor has it that someone could hear the following song being sung, “I’ve seen just about everything, but I ain’t never seen an elephant fly,” but no one could identify the singer.

I heard this on the radio the other day. Trust me, it is not for the fainthearted, but it will make for good conversation around the watercooler.

A house owner named Sue Walters had been renting out her house to the same tenants for years. She kicked them out for whatever reason and when she arrived to the home, she panicked because it smelled like ammonia. If you didn’t know, ammonia is in most cleaning products and a key ingredient used in meth labs. It is also one of the reasons doing meth is so stupid.

She alerted the police and they came, suited up, to inspect the house. The good news? There was no meth lab. The bad news? The stench was caused by carpets that were soaked in cat pee.

Apparently, cat pee turns into ammonia after several years. The previous tenants owned several felines and apparently forgot to potty train them. I suppose after so many years they figured it would turn into ammonia and clean itself up.

Walters plans on doing a deep clean of the place and renting the home out again, but I am pretty sure the only deep cleaning that will solve this problem includes a couple of matches and some kindling.

Anyone out there a cat lover?

Well the cat is out of the bag.

One of the oldest rivalries in civilization has had a surprising twist. For years, postmen and dogs have lived at odds with one another. But now, in the United Kingdom, a cat has decided to jump in on the action.

MSNBC is reporting that Postal Workers will no longer deliver mail to a woman’s house because of her crazy cat that keeps attacking them. Now, one may think that this cat is crazy and full of energy, kind of like the cat in this picture below…

Thundercats!

You would think that cat would be crazy, but you would be wrong. This deadly cat and nemesis to all postal workers in the UK is actually 19 years old. Now I haven’t met many 19 year old cats, but considering the fact that cats in the prime of their youth spend most of their day sleeping, I can’t imagine a cat who has used 8.5 lives does much of anything. I also can’t imagine, that even if this cat attacked me with it’s walking stick, that I would be so intimidated that I would never return.

But then again, I am no postal worker and I have never been to the U.K.

What do you think? Would you be afraid of a 19 year old cat?

It’s Monday, and you need something to talk about around the water cooler. Time for another crazy news story!

Tired of having a pet animal that you can’t milk and won’t eat your old cans? Look no further than the latest craze that is sweeping the nation: mini-goats.

Apparently, mini-goats are pretty smart and make great pets. You can walk them on a leash, they answer by name, and they produce delicious cheese. While some narrow minds think the goat is just another piece of livestock, others are pleading the cause of the pet goat.

Sure, they may smell and be a little loud, but they look so cute with that big bell on.

So what do you think? Would you want to have a couple of goats of your own (you should have at least two, they are herd animals and like company after all)? Or would you complain about your neighbors when they get their own pet goats? If you want more info, you can click the above picture to be taken to the original story.

Well everyone, I have big news.

A new world record has been created. Shouts of joy filled the Earth on March 5, because a record this monumental has not happened since Michael Phelps won his 2 millionth gold medal.

You guessed it, the largest number of people wearing Snuggies in one area is now 20,000!!!!!

That’s right, the beloved blanket with sleeves has made it to the big leagues. It is no longer just a comfort for people who are sitting on their couch at home, it can be taken anywhere! Like the Cleveland Caveliers game this past weekend, where a huge crowd of over 20,000 celebrated their love for basketball by all wearing snuggies together. You can see the full story here: ESPN.

Rumors are circulating that LeBron James will drop all of his current endorsements and focus on the Snuggie, but no one knows for sure yet.

So, be honest, who out there has a snuggie? I do!

So there was a really funny event yesterday in the news and it makes me want to blog about funny news stories every week. We’ll see if it happens.
Yesterday, a zebra escaped from the Circus and ran loose on 85 in downtown Atlanta. Fortunately, Atlanta does not have bad traffic so it wasn’t an issue. Oh, wait, Atlanta has some of the worst traffic in the world.
This are the two best videos I could find. You can see the traffic in the second video:

Could this spawn a sequel to Racing Stripes? Let’s hope not.
