Man Plays Dead for a Living.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on October 3, 2005 at 6:35 pm

Malnourished all his life, Gopal Haldar couldn’t work in the fields in India’s Sunderbans mangrove region.

Because of his poor health and stick-like body, his neighbors said that he was "born to play a ghost" – so in a when-life-gives-you-lemon-you-make-lemonade fashion, Gopal now makes a living playing a ghost.

From the website: "He says it takes him only 10 to 15 minutes to do his makeup and transform his emaciated self into a ghost-like creature — mainly by painting his sunken face, protruding ribs and skeletal limbs with soot."

Teletubbies Cocaine Bust.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on October 3, 2005 at 11:17 am

Federal officials in New York announced the arrest of 22 members of an international drug cartel that shipped cocaine in packages labeled with Teletubbies. Link (via BoingBoing)

This was not the first time drug dealers used brands for their illegal drugs – Agents have found Harry Potter pills and Bin Laden heroin.

I guess branding is everywhere, even in narcotics marketing!

Monkey Will Pay for Monkey Porn.

Posted by Alex in Animals & Pets on October 3, 2005 at 11:03 am

A new study found that male rhesus monkeys will pay (give up their juice rewards) in order to see pictures of a female monkey’s bottoms!

These monkeys will also pay to see pictures of their top-dog counterparts (kinda like their celebrities), but not at lower-ranking monkeys (the scientists would have to pay them to do this).

Guess we’re not so different after all…
