Countries around the world have some strange laws. One on the books in India, however, has ruffled a few feathers in a bizarre incident. The story has all the essentials of a bad joke: A transportation worker, a drunken man, and a pigeon all get onto a bus. Unfortunately, after receiving a monetary fine and a written warning, the transportation worker is not laughing. On a typical Thursday night,…

Nearly everyone has experienced driving in an unknown area and accidentally turning down a dead-end street. It sucks, but that happens when you’re unfamiliar with the area. Or, perhaps instead of a dead-end road, you end up on one of the world’s “bridges to nowhere.” However, new images of a Chinese subway station, literally in the middle of nowhere, show that the situation can be much stranger…

Kim Jong-un isn’t messing around. The tiny tyrant continues missile testing, including firing an ICBM, and talking about using nuclear weapons.

So, with the world seemingly turning against him, Kim is now turning his attention to his…

Raja Bhaiya Mishra began managing the cow shelter three years…

There is the old phrase, “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.” It means don’t make an overreaction or jump into something without thinking about it first. Good advice. Events in India, however, might change the meaning of the adage. In an effort to improve a boy’s life, doctors did cut the nose off his face. Strangely enough, that nose was growing on his forehead. Arun Patel couldn’t help…

Move over Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klum. You have a whole new type of competition for space on the runway. Victoria’s Secret Angels earn their wings for strutting their stuff on the catwalk.

Passengers often complain that they can’t find a reliable ride home. Yet, some taxi and Uber drivers complain that it is even harder to find a passenger who isn’t going to cause trouble. The poster child of bad riders must be the Miami neurologist who became an infamous YouTube celebrity after her epic meltdown. Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon was drunk and wanted to go home.

People usually associate bizarre vending machines with Japan. Indeed, they do have machines that dispense some truly weird items, like puppies. However, Singapore has stepped up in a big way.

*Warning: graphic image below* Low blood sugar makes you irritable and more likely to lash out at others. Or, as Snickers would say, you’re not yourself when you’re hungry.

You could ask the hermit kingdom’s Olympic athletes just how seriously their country’s dictator takes sports, but…

Late last month, police in southern China spotted a white van driving…

For the time being, however, he’s…

Well, it is about time to start bending the knee to SKYNET.
