Alone in the dark

What happens if you are left alone in the dark in solitary confinement for days on end? The result is called sensory deprivation and the human mind struggles to cope with it.


I kind of actually really want to try that... sounds like it would be fun!

Hands all stuck

A 10-year-old Mexican boy glued his hand to his bed to avoid going back to school after the Christmas break, authorities said Monday.

"I thought if I was glued to the bed, they couldn't make me go to school," the boy, Diego, told AFP. "I didn't want to go, the holidays were so much fun."


Why didn't I ever try that?

Most Hated Holiday Song

Someone posted this on a forum too... it's "The Most Hated Holiday Song in the World" and I must agree that it's pretty bad... but at least much funnier than truly bad songs.

The most hated holiday song in the world is 21 minutes, 59 seconds long. It features the accordion and bagpipe, an operatic soprano rapping and singing atonal music, and the exhortation of a grating children's chorus: "Christmas time! Christmas time! / Jesus, Mary and the manger / Christmas time, family time / Do all your shopping at Wal-Mart!" Its creators calculate that it will be disliked by all but a few hundred of the world's population.


Listen at your own risk...
