Man has sex with 1000 cars

May 28, 2008

Edward Smith, of Washington has recently made headlines after admitting he has had sex with over 1000 cars, thats right, cars. He currently lives with a 1967 volkswagen beetle whom he named vanilla and also calls the car his girlfriend. He writes poetry about his car experiences, and lost his car virginity at the tender age of 15. Smith also doesn’t just have sex with cars, he says his most intense sexual experience came from a helicopter from a 1980s tv show.

Smith’s last relationship with a woman was 12 years ago, and he could not bring himself to having sex with the woman although he has said that he has had sex with women previously. Smith also says that certain cars will be randomly parked and he will get an urge to walk up to them and kiss and hug them. According to one website there is a community of 500 car lovers who have met one another through internet forums.

I must admit, I’m quite fond of Lamborgini’s, but I don’t think I could bring myself to lubing up a tailpipe.

Homeless photoshoot

May 1, 2008

I must apologize for the lack of updates, I have been busy with finals and so forth and I promise the updates will return to normal come May 14th. In light of this I have decided to make two posts today. The first one was an interesting article I stumbled across. It is a page filled with photos of the homeless railway inhabitants shot by photographer Mike Brodie that was shown at the Pens and Needles Gallery in August. The video depicts the homeless in various photos, the most interesting in my opinon involves a dead rat cut open presumably awaiting human consumption. Also of note is the stockpile of alcohol one of the homeless has managed to store away which seems just shy of a typical stag bar.

Anyways, here’s the link, enjoy.


Alia Sabur youngest college prof

April 28, 2008

Alia Sabur became the youngest college professor at 18.  Sabur began college at age 10 and at 14 became the youngest female in history to obtain a college degree. Her education did not stop there however as she continued her post graduate studies at Drexel in materials science and engineering. Three days before she turned 19 she was hired to teach at a college in South Korea.


On top of her unprecedented academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in the Korean martial art of tae kwon do and is also a music prodigy. She has been playing clarinet with orchestras since her solo debut at age 11, playing with recording artists Lang Lang and Smash Mouth.


Woman that lives with hundreds of rats and snakes

April 17, 2008

Authorities discovered a woman in Washington that apparently was living with hundreds of rats and four snakes. The woman was reported over a month ago but aparently was reluctant to cooperate with officials. The woman called the rats “her friends” When authorities finally entered the home they found the floor covered with rat shit and soaked in urine. The woman aparently bought a few rats to feed the snakes but they escaped and the situation got out of control fast.

I’m wondering, how is there a house full of rats, with 4 boas and they don’t eat them?

Blind teen sees with sound

April 15, 2008

Californian teen Ben Underwood has been without vision since the age of two when retinal cancer deprived him of his vision. His mother recalls been awakening from surgery calling out “mom I can’t see you.” She reassured him he still had his other senses, and around the age of 5 Ben discovered echolocation which enables him to navigate using noises surrounding him. Interestingly enough Ben has discovered a system where he uses dolphin like clicks to help him see. He uses the ability to play sports, run, and play video games as well as other everyday activities.

Although Ben is not the first human who purported to using Echolocation, (google James Holman, or Daniel Kish) he does appear to be the only human to develop the clicking system.
