OMG, I got in!!!!

Um yeah, about that Vasser College acceptance letter, whoops, sorry, computer error, we bad? About 254 applicants who logged onto to the college’s live admissions web site mistakenly received an acceptance letter. The college sent apologies with their denial letters a few hours later. Talk about messing with the academically challenged.

Snake on a Face

If you have ever thought of getting a python as a pet, take heed. A woman in Wisconsin was at a book club meeting when she decided to take her friend’s python out of its terrarium for a little play. Next thing she knows Annie the 4ft python has latched itself onto her face . The serpent refused, point blank, to let go of her right cheek until its owner appeared. I’m guessing we all know the moral of this story!!!

Hey, give that girl her shirt back!

Following the epic 6 hour Australian Tennis Open battle between Novak Djokovic and Rafa Rafael Nadal in the early hours of this morning , the victor, Djokovic, walked over to the crowd and threw his shirt to a young girl. Watch as another fan snatches it from her grasp, faster than a rat up a drainpipe . Nasty!

Tag, You’re It!

OMG, a 6 year old snowflake has been accused by his California elementary school of sexual assault while playing tag with his best friend . Evidently, during their little romp in the playground Oswin brushed his friends leg/groin. Next thing he knows , he’s in the principal’s office, where he is plonked for two hours until he confesses. The principal then suspended Oswin and placed a sexual battery charge on his permanent school record. Can they do that, without police involvement? It wasn’t until the parents lawyered up did the Hercules school remove the claim. Needless to say Oswin is playing tag at another school.

Psst The snowflakes should be grateful they weren’t playing Twister!!!

Flight of the Century

frigginloon — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:00:39 +0000

shoo!!!

In the red corner we have boxing legend Mike Tyson and in the blue corner we have Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth , in what surely will be dubbed the mismatch fight of the century. Hold your horses people, this isn’t a boxing match, it’s a pigeon race. The two have entered the Sun City Million Dollar Pigeon Race in South Africa where 3,479 pigeons are vying for the chance to be crowned best friggin homing pigeon of the year. The first bird to make it from Hopetown to Sun City (342miles) wins. The Queen has entered just one pigeon, Royal Desire, as the other five were picked off by bigger birds and eaten during training sessions. Tyson on the other hand has several birds entered. No one dares eat his!

Psst Surely Lizzie could have popped down to Trafalgar Square and caught herself a few more?
