Drunk Parrots Falling From the Sky

We've all heard of the drinking bird.  But the drunken bird?

In an Australian town Darwin (how ironic!) every year around this time it is not uncommon to see a drunk or hungover parrot crash down somewhere in the town or simply just passing out and falling out of the trees.

Researchers figure that these red-collared lorikeets are eating something during the tropical wet season, and that its leaving them either sick with a drunk-like illness or just plain wasted.

The hospital takes care of about 30 birds at a time and they arrive daily. 

Some of them spotted with tiny lampshades on their heads and they wake up to regretfully find tattoos of their ex girlfriends name on their wing.  Well, maybe not.

While in the drunk tank they nurse them back to health with some aspirin, and some strong coffee before releasing them back into the wild.  Or maybe just some berries and nuts and water. 

Potato potato, tomato tomato. (That saying really doesn't come out right when written)

Pubic Lice for Sale - Hate anyone?

Revenge is a dish best served itchy. Itchy as hell.

Want a creative way to get revenge on someone that's pissed you off, scorned you, or are just mildly irritating? One that doesn't involve "permanent damage, or risk of personal injury of jail time?"

What could possibly be such a perfect and satisfying revenge?
Crabs! Yes, that's right. Crabs! The funniest of the STI's.

Bred and delivered right to your door for ease of infestation.
A website in Britain called crabrevenge.com says it sells public lice. It's a bit of a contradictory site because while it says that they "do not endorse giving people lice" and that the lice are for "novelty purposes only" (I would consider pubic lice many things, but novel is one word that doesn't come to mind right away.) but then its header is "Make that Bitch Itch."

They've got 3 packages available of their lovely lice. You can pick between the green package with includes one colony which can have as many as 30 eggs. "Great for one person".
The blue package includes 3 vials, each with about 30 eggs that if you don't have 3 people to use them on right away, you can freeze some for over 160 days. Or maybe to share the fun with your friends you can all go in on getting the blue package.
The Red package is for that special person that really has your panties in a bunch. This has one vial of "shampoo resistant F strain crabs, " which can "take up to two weeks to get rid of and apparently bite so much that they can cause the victim to scratch themselves raw." Sounds like fun for the whole family. Of crabs that is.

They've even got postings from some happy customers such as, "Just what I needed to get back at my ex-wife." Says Ethan from Dublin. That assh*le.

As weird as this is, I think it's quite a unique idea and quite enterprising. I mean, haven't you said something outrageous like, "I just want to punch her in the ovaries!" Or, "I wish he would catch crabs that assh*le" or, "I wish the Delorian would just run them over." and with their special parasite husbandry and breeding, crabrevenge.com allows your one wish to come true! (This blog does not condone punching women in the ovaries or flippant remarks about Back to the Future. Because its awesome and you not allowed to make fun of it!)
Personally, I don't think I'd want it getting around that I gave my ex-boyfriend crabs. Much less a sibling! That would lead to some awkard confessionals...

Religion Is For The Dogs - Weird News



Maybe not all dogs go to heaven. But a church in Danvers Massacusetts wants to give them better odds by holding services for the pooches starting later this month.

"Perfect Paws Pet Ministry" at Calvary Episcopal Church will have a service for these dirty dogs at least once a month. The kicker is, along side with the humans, the dogs get special treats for communion. So if the humans are eating the body of Christ, what does that mean we'll be giving the dogs?


Barking is allowed, so people don't have to worry anymore about singing the hymns off key anymore.
