I haven't been posting much, Opera has been crashing constantly on me with the last update. Surprisingly, the beta works perfectly fine.

Last week I read an article about some guy in Florida who got himself into the record books. How, you may ask; he's got the world's largest rubber band ball. The thing is over 28 feet in diameter!

That's someone with way too much time on their hands.

All you peps with your i-phones, here's a great link for your wallpapers or whatever you call them. iPhone-room has a lot of good looking walls.

Another dude with way too much time on his hands.



A matchstick Titanic, now that's either some kind of talent or freaky obsession.

I'm pushing my luck here, so for now, cheers!

Hey, hey, been busy and had little or no time to do much here other than occasionally pop on to see what everyone is doing. I don't always log in, if you haven't seen my name on your blog page that is why; doesn't mean I haven't been reading and chuckling along.

Today though I have got to share these Cat finds with you.

A most awesome desktop wallpaper! Who doesn't like long cat?

Socrates the puddy tat, look at the size of him!

At a whopping 22lb, the black and white heavyweight in Jenny Doig's arms is more than double the size of a normal cat.

I can't write anything about Socrates better than it's already been done.

Follow the Socrates link for the full article and more photos.

He's got no "get up and go" his owner says. Duh!









Who the hell does this to an animal! Absolute cruelty and absolute stupidity.

The female tan and black striped feline was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia wrapped head to foot in duct tape. spotted by a woman who quickly called the SPCA.

A humane officer from the SPCA found her wandering the Rhawnhurst section of Philadelphia and carted her up to safety.

The tape was wrapped around her from neck to tail. Armed with a great deal of patience - SPCA officers were able to remove it completely, saying she is now doing well.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the conviction of those responsible for the sticky attack.


and now for a little Happy Cat

A little pudgy - but happy.

Work, work, and working ...yeppers that's about all I'm doing. Not a whole lot of fun, but it pays the bills.

I missed posting some silly news, silly photos, silly products this past week so here goes.

Starting off in Germany today.

A 250kg (550 pound) Woman had to be hauled out of her house using a crane!

No I'm not yanking your chain.

Emergency services had to use a crane to lift an overweight woman out of her house in Germany.

The woman, said to weigh 250kg, was stretchered out of her home and put into a waiting ambulance.

Firefighters called in the crane to extract the woman when all other ways to get the woman out of the house failed.

The crane, mounted on a truck, lifted the stretcher out of the top window of the house in Bottrop.

She was later transported in an ambulance to hospital for treatment.

On the same day but on the other side of the world, emergency services in Australia had to use a crane to lift a man of 300kg (660 pounds)from his apartment.

An emergency services spokeswoman said he was successfully lifted out of the apartment by crane. He was then taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital.

You've got mail - and possibly an STD

The Brazilian Health Ministry has created a Web site to let people inform partners they've got a sexually transmitted disease via an emailed virtual postcard.

The official in charge of the ministry's STD and AIDs programs notes that many people have a hard time telling partners they're infected.

Mariangela Simao said in a statement this week that the emails may help people "to tackle these diseases directly and with minimum exposure."

One of the cards shows a young man reclining in his underwear. It reads: "Hi! I don't know if this is the best way to tell you, but I've learned that I have an STD."

The card suggests the recipient see a doctor.


Molson-Coors Canada is taking down billboard ads in British Columbia that take a jab at Toronto residents.

The ad for Coors Light beer declares the beer is "Colder Than Most People From Toronto."

Coors Light brand marketing manager Adam Moffat says there was no intention to offend anyone but Molson-Coors admits they "misfired on this one."

Moffat says enough people have expressed their displeasure with the ads that the company has decided to take them down.

He says about 30 or 40 people phoned or emailed complaints Tuesday, but the company has also been monitoring comments online, including on the networking site Twitter.

Moffat says he has been fielding media calls from across the country about the ads, and the company apologizes to anyone who was offended by the ads.

People in Toronto have no sense of humour - the ads should have stayed up!
