Ten People Who Found Big Money and Returned It

Image: NationSwell

A 62-year-old homeless woman from Calgary, Canada was living in a YWCA shelter when she found a purse with $10,000 cash inside. Despite her dire circumstances, she immediately turned the money in.

“It never crossed my mind to keep the money,” she said. “It’s not mine to keep.”

Once the story hit Canadian media, a groundswell of support and cash rewards were offered to the woman, who declined them due to her embarrassment over being homeless and insistence on remaining anonymous. In the end, the owner of the purse set up a $500 trust fund for the woman. That account, combined with other local funding, was enough to move the lady into her own apartment.

Read other stories of people, some in need, who found huge amounts of cash — in amounts up to $221,510 — and decided to return the money in this article. 


Playing Super Smash Bros. From A First Person Perspective

When you play a video game like Super Smash Bros. you generally don’t think about the ramifications of your actions, after all the game stars wacky characters brawling in a virtual space.

However, if your actions were made real, and you could see yourself punching a cute little Kirby from a first person perspective, how would you feel about all that smashing then?

The film nerds at SoKrispyMedia created this fun short film that shows what it'll look like to battle the superstars of the video game world while wearing a VR headset, with player one as Mario.

The Lies That Movies Tell Us, Chloroform Edition

According to pop culture the chemical known as chloroform is a real knockout- just apply it to a rag and cover someone’s mouth and nose with it and blamo! Your subject is out cold, waking up a little groggy but otherwise okay.

This wonder chemical seems like the perfect way to put your way too drunk friend down for a spell so the party can rage on, so why isn’t chloroform in every household in America?

Because Hollywood has been lying to us all, as you will discover in The Lies That Movies Tell Us, Chloroform edition by Zamboni Grenade and Hamilton 100.

It's a painfully drawn out way to make a point, but it'll show you what you're in for if you ever try to chloroform your buddy! (Don't try to chloroform anyone, it can kill them)

Hulk, the World's Largest Pitbull Has a Litter of Pricey Puppies

Hulk and his puppies | Image: Still of video by Barcroft TV

You may remember a previous Neatorama post about 173-pound Hulk, thought to be the largest pitbull in the world. The famous gentle giant is the pride, joy and family dog of owner Marlon Grannon, who breeds and trains protection and police dogs at Dark Dynasty K9 in New Hampshire.

There is an update in the world of Hulk since that post went live: he is now the doting father of eight adorable puppies. The litter may be naturally precious to Hulk and his puppy mama, but in the human world where money talks, each pup is akin to pitbull royalty, with a monetary value of between $30,000 and $55,000. 

By the time the puppies were born, most were already sold at a price of $30,000. Yet if the pups would go on to be trained by Grannon, their value would be in the neighborhood of $55,000 each.

Grannon's business caters to celebrities and other wealthy clientele worldwide, as well as law enforcement. Each dog is trained from birth and "lives together in a pack without fences, barriers or physical restrictions.” See Hulk and his puppies in action in the video below, and read more about him and his newly expanded canine and human family at the Daily Mail. 



Bringing A Very Special Corvette Back From The Dead

The car in this picture might not look like more than a pile of metal junk waiting to be scrapped, but the General Motors Company paid a whole lotta money to restore this junker.

That’s because this is no ordinary car, it’s the one millionth Chevy Corvette ever made, one of the rarest Corvettes in the world.

The white 1992 Corvette was damaged when a sinkhole opened up under the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, so the technicians and craftspeople at the General Motors Design Center are now working their magic to bring the car back from the dead.

The restoration project is scheduled to be completed by September, and even though the one millionth is hogging all the glory a few other rare Corvettes rescued from the sinkhole are getting fixed up too.

See photos of the restoration process at Esquire


Fashion's Funniest Instagram Account

People often assume that models don’t have a very good sense of humor, an opinion which is reinforced by their blank “modely” expressions and the fact that most models don’t act all bubbly and cheerful in public.

But if you want to see a model’s wild side you have to look at their social media accounts, because that’s where some models, like Tilda Linstam, let it all hang out.

Tilda’s Instagram account is full of funny pics (keeping in mind that funny is subjective), and she's out to prove that models can travel the world, pose for a living and still find time to pose for silly pics. (Some pics NSFW-ish)

12 Kitchen Gadgets That Are As Unnecessary as They Are Awesome

I'm willing to bet that no one ever started to cook dinner only to think, 'I don't have any way to turn my food into mock-caviar though, so I guess I shouldn't even bother.' But whether or not you have need of the Imperial Spherificator, it hardly changes the fact that the product is pretty darn cool and desirable. Similarly, it's pretty easy to carve a watermelon and use it as a punch bowl, but somehow, tapping it like a keg just seems infinately cooler -hence the creation of this tapping kit.

The bottom line is that just because you don't need some kind of kitchen doodad doesn't mean you won't desperately want it. And over on Homes and Hues, we rounded up some of the most clever, cool and unnecessary kitchen tools out there: 12 Cool Kitchen Tools We Desperately Want But Absolutely Don't Need


Charge - Gotta Plug 'Em All In!


Charge by Donnie

Since Pika spends much of his time trapped inside that pokeball people rarely get to see how he recharges his energy blast.

This method of plugging in is mighty convenient when you have to keep him charged up during battles, and his tail fits into every kind of wall socket on Earth so there's no need for a conversion kit!

Bottle Caps Fever - Better Than The Pip Boy Plague!


Bottle Caps Fever by Olipop

Ever since the bombs fell and blighted the Earth people have found themselves infected with all kinds of fevers, from the radioactive rattles to the super mutant shakes to the dreaded Deathclaw drips, but nothing had affected quite as many people as bottle cap fever. People were so hooked on collecting that cannery currency that even nuclear fallout wasn't enough to keep them from scavenging the wastes. And once the news that Sunset Sarsparilla was giving away a massive mystery prize to those who collected enough Star bottle caps people started leaving their vaults in droves to dig up some caps!

Real-Life Disney Dudes Are Seriously Babes

Artist  Jirka Väätäinen (previously at Neatorama) took the liberty of imagining a few of the most famous Disney men as if they were real-life men. As a female Disney fan, I for one want to thank his efforts because these princes and paupers are all serious babes.

Prince Eric of The Little Mermaid even looks like young John Stamos and that somehow seems totally accurate. I can sure see how someone would want to be part of his world.

Mars Attacks - Wascally Warriors From Another World


Mars Attacks by Nemons

Humans had lived in fear of an alien invasion for years, but when the day arrived and the Earth was beset by bantering beings from Mars nobody had any idea the whole affair would be so SILLY! The aliens spoke in a bizarre language that just sounded like a bunch of Ack noises, but their leader spoke in a perfectly genteel manner as if he'd lived on Earth his whole life. He called himself Marvin, and if that wasn't enough to embarrass him straight off our planet he led the attack against the Earthlings while wearing an oversized helmet and Roman-esque battle skirt! Screwy, ain't he?!

Dr. Whomer - What's A TAR-D'oh!


Dr. Whomer by Brinkerhoff

Ever since Homer had purchased that old coat, hat, striped scarf and sonic doohickey at the local flea market his life had changed for the better. He discovered that jelly beans made a more than suitable replacement for Duff beer, the sonic thingy got him out of all kinds of binds, and people had taken to calling him The Doctor. He felt like a Lord, which meant it was only a matter of time before he made a major blunder and mucked the whole thing up!
