I'm not sure what it is, but someone could probably figure out how to smoke pot out of it.

The walls are actually kind of cool. If it was just a little bigger and got a little more sunlight, that would be an awesome bedroom.

Most of you who CLAIM you would be heroic in that situation would probably do the same thing those guys did. Time and time again, psychological studies show that humans are terrible at predicting their own behavior. Given a hypothetical situation, most people SAY they would do one thing, but really do another when actually put in that situation for real. And I know you're all thinking "Well, I'M not like that; I'm not like most people." And you'd be wrong about that, too. There have also been studies that show that most people also share this same illusion about themselves: that they're different from others, and that they would do the right thing where others wouldn't. So please step down from your high horses. Those transit workers aren't heroes, neither are you, and there is no moral obligation for people to act like heroes. I gaurantee that 90% of you who CLAIM you would have intervened would actually have done no more than call 911 from your cell phone while heading in the opposite direction.

Just the other day a guy was robbed in the street when he tried to help a guy who was pretending to have a seizure while his buddies waited nearby to attack whoever came to help first. I'd call for help and stay in the safety of my booth.

Jimmy Dean may have gotten "fried" personally, but unlike the others he built a brand name that's still strong today. When I think of sausage, I think of Jimmy Dean! I don't imagine Jimmy ever thought he'd see his name on a package of frozen chocolate-chip pancake-wrapped sausages on sticks, but he did create a successful brand.

You'll have to pardon me if I don't have any sympathy for whomever wrote that.

Anon, look at the arrangement of the toppings. There are 9 different toppings arranged in a 9x9 grid, with no topping appearing twice in the same row or column. Of course, you could have figured that out from reading the description, right?

What a dick. The electric company should shut off his electricity and give him a gas-powered generator instead.

Shorty looks so soft and cuddly!

Alex, I think you missed our point. The fact that the first item on the list is false casts doubt on the whole list. It also suggest that the authors of those books don't do any research before they publish their collections of urban legends. You even describe the book on this site as "...a series of popular books containing irresistible bits of trivia and obscure yet fascinating FACTS." Facts is facts, and these ain't facts.

The first story is a great illustration of why I don't believe ANYTHING in the Bathroom Reader. Uncle John's Bathroom Reader is like the Joker to Snopes.com's Batman. Why would I believe any of the other stories in the list? I wish Neatorama would end their relationship with Uncle John's Big Book of Urban Legends.

No video? I'm disappointed.

Another of those misleading animal photos where they hold the animal out in front of them to make it look much larger than it really is. Don't forget the source: this is the same country that recently released fake footage, filmed underwater, of a fictitious space walk.

Cute cat, but am I missing something? I only saw him licking his paws; he never touched the food.

Old news, but a nice story. Someone, Disney I believe, bought the rights to make the movie.
