He’ll live in a Grotto

by

Get this story – An Italian sociologist hopes to spend up to three years hunkered in a small, chilly underground cave in central Italy to better understand the body’s natural cycles, the daily newspaper La Repubblicareported.

Maurizio Montalbini, 53, moved into his new grotto home this week. He intends to pass more than 1,000 days drinking water from a small pipe, and eating food pills at meals. But he has also brought a few treats: four kilograms of honey, two kilograms of nuts, and 1.5 kilograms of chocolate, according to La Repubblica.

His sojourn aims to better understand the body’s natural rhythms to determine better medical dosages and fight stress and insomnia.

I’ll bet you $1000 he doesn’t last a year! I’m sure I’d go nuts if I was stuck in there for THREE years! Holy smokes!

How do you think you’d do?






Have you seen my dinasaur?

by

Did you hear about this? New York police are on the lookout for a missing dinosaur, last seen over the weekend in an affluent Long Island suburb. Dinosaurs like the rich life don’t you know?

The life-size fiberglass replica of a carnivorous Deinonychus went missing from a local festival.

“It’s a very unusual theft, and because of that, we’re hoping the public will spot it somewhere,” said police detective Lieutenant John May. The report said that someone had sawn through a metal pole attaching the three-meter-long (10-foot-long) model to a trailer. I’m sure no one would miss it if they saw it considering how big it is.

“You’d definitely notice it, if someone rode by with it,” said Cindy Smith, spokeswoman for the Oyster Bay Festival.

There doesn’t seem to be any reports that the dinosaur is armed and dangerous – just missing. Must be a friendly giant. LOL

Out of the Blue

by

What’s your worst fear? Is it flying? Is it being hit by lightening? Maybe something falling from the sky?

It wasn’t exactly a bolt from the blue. More like blue ice from the sky.

An elderly Chino, California couple had a chunk of blue ice crashed through their roof recently. William McElroy says it was so loud, they had thought a car hit their house. Evelyn McElroy is amazed no one was hurt and figures “somebody extra” was looking out for them. Federal aviation officials are investigating if the blue ice came from a leaking airplane toilet holding tank.

Nice. They probably got hit by frozen pee! I wonder how often that happens?

Well, it could have been worse – they could have been hit by a plane experiencing software failure:
