Gas Price Gouging After Hurricane Katrina.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on September 1, 2005 at 4:11 pm

Sadly price gouging happens after every natural disasters. Right after the destruction and devastation of Hurricane Katrina, this was seen in a BP gas station in Atlanta.

Please donate to Hurricane Katrina relief effort, but be wary of scams. Instead, donate only to reputable agencies, such as the American Red Cross.

I donated just today, the process took less than a minute and you can donate anything above $5. The donation is also tax deductible, but of course, we’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do.

Fat Cat.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Pictures on September 1, 2005 at 4:10 pm

Sassy started getting fat after he was fixed. Over the years, vets couldn’t find the reason why he’s so fat. Even after 8 years on diet food, Sassy weighed in at 40 lbs. Sassy has since died, but his image lives on the web. Link

Is he the fattest cat in the world? No, actually. The fattest cat is Katy. She weighs 50 lbs and lives in Russia. Link

This gator-bride and ram’s head snuff mull (whaaat?) are two examples of a great collection of weird, funny, and unusual things that were auctioned off at eBay and other internet auction sites. Link

CrashBonsai is John Rooney’s answer to his desire to both create and destroy. He combines bonsai plants and smashed model cars to create little, living car crash sculptures.

You can even buy crashed cars at his website. Link
