1. A Serial Killer's Fingernails
One of the weirdest things ever sold was a serial killer's cut fingernails. In 1979, two men named Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris rode through southern California on a killing spree that resulted in at least five victims. Years later Roy Norris had his fingernail shavings that had been taped to the back of a Christmas card sold on the net. His fingernails only sold for $9.99 but still stand as one of the scariest and weirdest things ever sold on the internet. 2. A Person's Soul In late 2007, an American man tried to sell his soul for $1 million dollars on the net. He said that the reason for selling his soul was to raise money for the Christmas season. He also said that the proud owner would be allowed to take the soul home in a glass jar along with a contract relinquishing ownership. The following is a quote that the man had said about his soul,” I'm not really using it lately - and selling it on the internet is better than letting the Devil have it.” The soul never sold although it doesn't appear to be still up for grabs. FYI: In the past somebody's soul was successfully sold for $400. 3. A Liver Another crazy item that was put up for sale on the net was someone's liver. A guy from Florida tried to sell part of his liver for a possible organ transplant. The price for his liver reached $5.7 million dollars before being eventually pulled from the website it was being sold on. It was removed because it is illegal to sell body parts over the internet. 4. Haunted Rubber Ducky Another very odd item sold on the internet was a haunted rubber ducky. In 2004, a man sold a so-called haunted rubber ducky. He said his one and a half year old son had been telling weird and scary stories about fights that he and the duck had had. Also he said that his child had been bitten by the duck, making the child mean and vicious, and causing him to throw the duck across the room. After only 7 days on the site the rubber duck sold for the price of $107.50. 5. Jesus Toast The seller of the product had accidentally burnt his toast in a toaster. Before throwing the piece of toast away, he suddenly noticed the face of Jesus on his toast as if by some type of miracle. He put the odd piece of toast up for auction with the starting bid of $.99, although this piece of toast never ended up selling. 6. Justin Timberlake's French Toast In March 2000, a leftover piece of French toast, half-eaten Justin Timberlake of N*SYNC was sold on a website. The entire group of N*SYNC was on the Z-Morning Zoo, some sort of TV show, on March 9th. On the show, Justin only ate one bite of his French toast! The seller said that the buyer would get Justin's half-eaten French toast, the fork he used, and the plate...complete with extra syrup! After a total of 40 bids and not even two days on the internet, the French toast was sold for a total of $3,154 dollars. 7. Rights to Name a Woman's Baby In April 2005, a 33 year old woman named Melissa Heuschkel auctioned the rights to name her baby on the internet. After not being able to decide what to name her fourth child, Melissa decided to turn to an online bidding site. The rights for naming her child sold for a whopping $15,100 dollars. The online casino site named GoldenPalace.com bought the right of naming her baby. The casino website decided to name the child GoldenPalace.com. The image above is a picture of newly born GoldenPalace.com. Melissa said that the money received would go towards caring needs and toys for the new born baby. 8. Imaginary Friend Another odd thing sold on the net was a guy's imaginary friend named Jon Malipieman. The man that sold Jon lived in the UK and said that he was selling Jon because he felt like he had grown out of him. In the listings for the product the seller stated the following: “My imaginary friend Jon Malipieman is getting too old for me now. I am now 27 and I feel I am growing out of him. He is very friendly. Along with him, I will send you what he likes and dislikes along with his favorite things to do and his personal self portrait.” Amazingly Jon Malipieman got 31 bids and ended up selling for over $3,000 dollars. Now that is Wacky. 9. Ghost Cane In 2004 a so called Ghost Cane was sold on a bidding site. A woman in Indiana her dead husband's metal walking cane up for sale in hopes that her scared grandson would think that his grandfather's spirit would leave their house when the cane was sold. Her six year old grandson son thought that the grandfathers' spirit was haunting their home, causing him to be scared of everything. The cane received over 132 bids and sold for the price of $65,000 dollars. The buyers of the cane actually ended up being GoldenPalace.com. 10. Giant Cheetoh In 2003 the worlds largest Cheetoh was put up for sale. The Cheetoh weighed more then a half an ounce and was as big as a kiwi. The man who discovered the Cheetoh was Mike Evans. Before the Cheetoh could be sold it was taken off line and donated to a small town as a tourist attraction. Before being taken offline, the Cheetoh had received bids of up to $180 dollars and still had days left in the auction. Almonds are members of the peach family. The symbol on the “pound” key (#) is called an octothorpe. The dot over the letter ‘i’ is called a tittle. Ingrown toenails are hereditary. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.

Telly Savalas and Louis Armstrong died on their birthdays. Donald Duck’s middle name is Fauntleroy. Steely Dan got their name from a sexual device depicted in the book ‘The Naked Lunch’. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. The Ramses brand condom is named after the great pharaoh Ramses II who fathered over 160 children. Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors. The characters Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra’s “Its A Wonderful Life” A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. Cranberries are sorted for ripeness by bouncing them; a fully ripened cranberry can be dribbled like a basketball. The male gypsy moth can “smell” the virgin female gypsy moth from 1.8 miles away. The name for Oz in the “Wizard of Oz” was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence “Oz.” To “testify” was based on men in the Roman court swearing to a statement made by swearing on their testicles. Emus and kangaroos cannot walk backwards, and are on the Australian coat of arms for that reason. Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten. The word “Checkmate” in chess comes from the Persian phrase “Shah Mat,” which means “the king is dead”. The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of lore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.
If You're Going to Die, Do It Differently!
We all shrug off our mortal coil eventually. Whilst we all look forward to a long and happy life, there are some unfortunate souls who leave this world with a touch of humor. If you’re gonna go, go out in style! Lifeguards On Duty In New Orleans more than 100 lifeguards threw a party to celebrate their first year without any tragedies. While they were partying, one of the guests, who was not a life saver, fell into the swimming pool fully clothed and drowned, even though four lifeguards were supposed to be on duty at the time! Man and Machine In Harmony In Japan, Kenji Urada was killed when a robot at the Kawasaki factory where he worked mistook his head for a component that needed tightening up. Ouch. Think You Can Beat Me… Chess Grandmaster Gudkov checkmated a computer three times in a row at a public tournament in Moscow. The next time he touched the machine it got it's revenge by electrocuting him. Out For A Morning Run A naked man running across New York's Brooklyn bridge singing “Oh what a beautiful morning!” was run over by a car and killed. Don't Laugh On A Full Stomach A bricklayer from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, died laughing while watching the TV comedy The Goodies. He had recently eaten, and after 25 minutes of laughing on a full stomach his heart failed while he was watching a fight between a set of bagpipes and a black pudding. Be Careful What You Wish For Sam Davidovitch sipped a glass of wine and asked the band to play his favourite song in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. “This is how I want to die” he said, “with a glass of wine in my hand while the band plays my tune.” Then he got up to dance with his wife, sang the words… and dropped dead of a heart attack. Are You Sure That Being A Veggie Is Healthy? Victor Villenti, 50, was a strict vegetarian, and forced his family to follow the same regime. While jogging in 1991 he was killed by an eight pound frozen leg of lamb which fell from a third-story window. Homer Simpson: Take Note A doughnut was the weapon of choice used by nursing home owner Carol Detlaff, 58, of St. Joseph, Michigan. She became upset when Gladys Mulhern, 59, was playing with her food after the other residents had finished, and stuffed the doughnut into her mouth, causing her to choke to death. Fishing is a Peaceful Pastime... Spanish Angler, Maria Cista, 56, was trying to free the hook from a fish's mouth when the fish jumped out of her hand and into her mouth. She choked to death as it wriggled down her throat.
20 Things You Didn't Know About... Nothing
1 There is vastly more nothing than something. Roughly 74 percent of the universe is “nothing,” or what physicists call dark energy; 22 percent is dark matter, particles we cannot see. Only 4 percent is baryonic matter, the stuff we call something. 2 And even something is mostly nothing. Atoms overwhelmingly consist of empty space. Matter’s solidity is an illusion caused by the electric fields created by subatomic particles. 3 There is more and more nothing every second. In 1998 astronomers measuring the expansion of the universe determined that dark energy is pushing apart the universe at an ever-accelerating speed. The discovery of nothing—and its ability to influence the fate of the cosmos—is considered the most important astronomical finding of the past decade. 4 But even nothing has a weight. The energy in dark matter is equivalent to a tiny mass; there is about one pound of dark energy in a cube of empty space 250,000 miles on each side. 5 In space, no one can hear you scream: Sound, a mechanical wave, cannot travel through a vacuum. Without matter to vibrate through, there is only silence. 6 So what if Jerry falls in a forest? Luckily, electromagnetic waves, including light and radio waves, need no medium to travel through, letting TV stations broadcast endless reruns of Seinfeld, the show about nothing. 7 Light can travel through a vacuum, but there is nothing to refract it. Alas for extraterrestrial romantics, stars do not twinkle in outer space. 8 Black holes are not holes or voids; they are the exact opposite of nothing, being the densest concentration of mass known in the universe. 9 “Zero” was first seen in cuneiform tablets written around 300 B.C. by Babylonians who used it as a placeholder (to distinguish 36 from 306 or 360, for example). The concept of zero in its mathematical sense was developed in India in the fifth century. 10 Any number divided by zero is . . . nothing, not even zero. The equation is mathematically impossible. 11 It is said that Abdülhamid II, sultan of the Ottoman Empire in the early 1900s, had censors expunge references to H2O from chemistry books because he was sure it stood for “Hamid the Second is nothing.” 12 Medieval art was mostly flat and two-dimensional until the 15th century, when the Florentine architect Filippo Brunelleschi conceived of the vanishing point, the place where parallel lines converge into nothingness. This allowed for the development of perspective in art. 13 Aristotle once wrote, “Nature abhors a vacuum,” and so did he. His complete rejection of vacuums and voids and his subsequent influence on centuries of learning prevented the adoption of the concept of zero in the Western world until around the 13th century, when Italian bankers found it to be extraordinarily useful in financial transactions. 14 Vacuums do not suck things. They create spaces into which the surrounding atmosphere pushes matter. 15 Creatio ex nihilo, the belief that the world was created out of nothing, is one of the most common themes in ancient myths and religions. 16 Current theories suggest that the universe was created out of a state of vacuum energy, that is, nothing. 17 But to a physicist there is no such thing as nothing. Empty space is instead filled with pairs of particles and antiparticles, called virtual particles, that quickly form and then, in accordance with the law of energy conservation, annihilate each other in about 10-25 second. 18 So Aristotle was right all along. 19 These virtual particles popping in and out of existence create energy. In fact, according to quantum mechanics, the energy contained in all the power plants and nuclear weapons in the world doesn’t equal the theoretical energy contained in the empty spaces between these words. 20 In other words, nothing could be the key to the theory of everything.

Tabasco Pepper Sauce was named after the Tabasco River in southern Mexico by creator Edmund McIlhenny because he liked the sound of the word.
Tabasco Pepper Sauce is made from a variety of pepper called Capsicum frutescens, known for centuries in Latin America and first recorded in 1493 by Dr. Chauca, the physician on Columbus's voyage. Capsicum peppers contain an alkaloid called capsaicin, a spicy compound found in no other plant. In 1912, pharmacologist Wilbur Scoville devised an organoleptic test to rate the hotness of peppers. The mildest bell peppers rate zero; habaneras peppers score 200,000 to 300,000 units. Tabasco Pepper Sauce scores between 9,000 to 12,000 units on the Scoville scale. Tabasco Pepper Sauce is still made much the way Edmund McIlhenny first developed the sauce. Ripe peppers are harvested, crushed, mixed with Avery Island salt, and aged in white oak barrels for up to three years. The peppers are then drained, blended with strong, all-natural vinegar, stirred for several weeks, strained, bottled, and shipped. Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Club produced Burlesque Opera of Tabasco in 1893 with the approval of Edmund McIlhenny's son, John Avery McIlhenny, who bought the rights to the production and had it staged in New York City. In 1898, Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener's troops brought Tabasco Pepper Sauce on their invasion of Khartoum in the Sudan. In the 1920s, Fernand Petiot, an American working at Harry's Bar in Paris, created the Bloody Mary. Tabasco Pepper Sauce was added to the recipe in the 1930s at the King Cole Bar in New York's St. Regis Hotel. In 1932, when the British government began an isolationist "Buy British" campaign, Parliament banned the purchase of Tabasco Pepper Sauce, popular in England since 1868 and available in the House of Commons dining rooms. The resulting protest from members of Parliament was dubbed "The Tabasco Tempest," and inevitably Tabasco Pepper Sauce returned to parliamentary tables. To this day Queen Elizabeth uses Tabasco Pepper Sauce on her lobster cocktail. During the Vietnam war, the McIlhenny Company sent thousands of copies of the Charley Ration Cookbook, filled with recipes for spicing up C-rations with Tabasco Pepper Sauce, wrapped around two-ounce bottles of Tabasco Pepper Sauce in waterproof canisters. President George Bush is a Tabasco Pepper Sauce devotee, sprinkling the pepper sauce on tuna fish sandwiches, eggs, and fried pork rinds. After receiving the Republican nomination for President in 1988, Bush handed out personalized bottles of Tabasco Pepper Sauce as presents for members of his family who dined with him at Arnaud's Restaurant in New Orleans. "I love hot sauce," Bush told Time magazine in 1992, "I splash Tabasco all over." During Operation Desert Storm, a miniature bottle of Tabasco Pepper Sauce was included in one out of every three ration kits sent to troops in the Gulf. The United States military now packs Tabasco Pepper Sauce in every ration kit. Over 100,000 people visit Avery Island each year to see Tabasco Pepper Sauce being made, visit the Tabasco Country Store, and descend into the island's salt mines. Each visitor receives a miniature bottle of Tabasco Pepper Sauce and a handful of recipes. The McIlhenny Company sells more than 100 million bottles of Tabasco Pepper Sauce a year. Tabasco Pepper Sauce bottles are labeled in fifteen languages and shipped to more than a hundred countries. Americans use more Tabasco Pepper Sauce than any other nation, followed by the Japanese who sprinkle it on pizza and spaghetti.

The word pornography means literally to make a record of a prostitute, and since a prostitute is only a prostitute and not just another woman while she's engaged in the act of being a prostitute, it has to do with her sexual activity for hire.
1. Nudity is not pornography, because more people than just prostitutes became nude, for athletic, artistic, and many other reasons. The original Olympic competitors were required to compete while completely nude, and could not have any identifying tattoos or scars, so as not to give the judges any reason beyond their performance for bias. The Children of Israel, were supposed to rip their clothes off, literally rip them off, whenever something deeply stressing came to their attention, like the death of a loved one, or hearing someone else blaspheme. Mothers nursing their children was a very common sight upon any street, as much as in any home. And in a day when nobody had ever conceived of the common outhouse, much less the public restroom, well.. I'm sure you get the picture. Nudity is not, and was not pornography, until about the time of the fall of the Roman Empire, which is when the most predominant of the apocalyptic cults in the Empire actually tried to begin banning marriage, not during the first 200 years (In the years A.D. 203-205, the Emperor Dioclesian successfully burnt the vast majority of all documents within the Roman Empire that had anything to do with Christianity, leaving only a few of the more authentic documents, and a lot of documents which even the Romans recognized as NOT Christian, which is why the collection of "Books" in the New Testament is so small and relatively sporadic in nature. I mean, come on! No Gospel According to Saint Peter? He writes two general epistles but can't share his own testimony? yeah Right! And the first collection called the "new testament" didn't occur until the year 265. It wasn't until about the year 600 that Roman cult started trying to cast guilt upon the general populace for obeying God's command to multiply and replenish the earth, in order to attempt to justify their claim to apostolic succession through Peter, with all the lack of documents they knew they didn't have, and trying to match up with the just-plain stupid documents that they had left over. 2. Sex is not pornography.. or.. why would all three major branches of the Judeo/Christian/Islamic apocalyptic cults almost literally worship the alleged Queen of Sheba, in the Song of Solomon (a.k.a. the Song of Songs)? 3. Foreplay also only started to get a bad rap in the AD600's. Before then, that was what a major component of all temple worship was about. And again, just read Song of Solomon. 4. The word "masturbation" is a conjunction of the roots "mast" which is the same root of Mastectomy, which does not mean to cut off anything from anybody's pubic regions--they had other words for those acts. Mastectomy means to cut off one's breast, as is currently done as a last resort for breast cancer. Masturbate, literally means "to not leave" "one's breast" "alone", and is both transitive as well as intransitive/reflexive verb, meaning to perform just one kind of foreplay on someone, whether it is someone else or one's self. But, in the same dark ages, since it is well known that true transitive masturbation is the same as getting to second base, and there are still third base and the score beyond that, the apocalyptic cult within the Roman empire began to guilt trip anybody who ever got beyond first base, as being pure and utter evil, which is why the word "masturbate" has come to mean anything further down one's torso than their neck and shoulders. Therefore, the only thing that is indeed pornography is a recording of someone engaged in professional eroticism. Someone just getting their photos taken in the nude are not in pornography. Someone getting recorded while frolicking causally, with their spouse or their friend, is not an instance of pornography. Cock is thought to come from the OE word cocc which was slang for "cock of the walk" meaning very proud rooster and it was a nicname that eventually came to mean the penis not the man. Pussy as a slang term is thought to derive ultimately from Low German puse "vulva" or Old Norse puss meaning "pocket, pouch". It didn't arise in English with a sexual meaning until the 19th century, but prior to that it had been used to refer to women in general (sort of like cocc for proud men). Cunt first appeared as a street name which was full of prostitution so its origins in english are thought to be like 'hooker' (and no its not from cunning like some people like to imagine). [Actually the street in london was near where a big bank is today.] Cunt is believed to derive from a Germanic root: kunton "female genitalia", which also gave rise to Old Norse kunta (ancestor of Norwegian and Swedish dialectical kunta and Danish dialectical kunte), Old Frisian, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch kunte, and the English doublet quaint. Dick is from late 19th C British army slang. And the word itself started as the shortform for Richard and then came to mean everyman (like John Doe). So "he's such a dick" is actually a very old phrase in one sense. The history of "horny" comes from a penis looking like a horn so they used to call it "The Horn" when aroused; and thus people who had "the horn" became known as horny.
