I have to hand it to one of the submitters at the site FWDfish for coming up with this batch of amazing photos that were altered to make it look like people are either suspended in air, sleeping with nothing under them, or even pulling imaginary ropes.
Whatever the position is, or the activity going on, after adding photoshop to the photos it’s interesting to imagine what the hell the world would be like if people were actually engaged in these activities sans the deleted imagery.
And rather than completely ruin this description because it’s hard to explain, I better just show you these ten pictures.

Chuvit Kamolvisit, an underdog in Sunday’s election for governor of Bangkok, punched and kicked a television journalist on Thursday, saying he was provoked by tough questions during a live interview.
Kamolvisit, dubbed Bangkok’s massage parlor king by the Thai press, later apologized for losing his temper and assaulting host Visarn Dilokwanich after the interview.
Man I would give anything to see John McCain throw down with a journalist, preferably one who acts like Robert Downey Jr’s character in Natural Born Killers. That or Geraldo Rivera.
We really do need some violence in these debates. I suppose a little Sarah Palin S&M couldn’t hurt anyone. You know she’s down with that stuff when the lights are off. Or maybe on, who knows.

I gotta say I’m not the biggest “joiner” in the world but if there’s one holiday that I think people should embrace, it’s Halloween. For the ladies, we all know, it’s an excuse to dress slutty. For the guys? Well, I think we should all just enjoy it.
My favorite costume of last year was seeing this guy standing at a stop light. He had on a white shirt that said “Choose Life,” white pants, and white shoes. He had a boom box and was literally dancing in the street: George Michael when he was in Wham. It was awesome.
That costume is doable. But I have to say, some people really take it to awesome limits and I think I’ve found some pictures of costumes that I for one, wouldn’t have the guts to wear.

A Chinese herbal remedy called horny goat weed is a promising alternative to Viagra for impotent men, Italian researchers said on Monday.
The herb has long held a reputation as a natural aphrodisiac. The lab experiments, which did not look at whether the plant actually increases desire, could lead to new drugs to help men get erections, said Mario Dell’Agli, a researcher at the University of Milan, who led the study.
“This could be the natural Viagra,” he said in a telephone interview. “The novelty is that we have synthesized a new molecule that one day may be able to replace Viagra.”
I think this article is missing the point. Not only is reality television taking over the airwaves. Not only do I thin it’s a matter of time before movies like The Running Man become reality.
But now we may have something called horny goat weed to contend with. P.S. the funniest part about this article that isn’t mentioned is the fact that Viagra has earned BILLIONS of dollars since its inception.
All the while you could have just taken some horny goat weed and popped right up. Big Pharma…quite the capitalists.

Two airplanes due to land on the Greek island of Lesbos had to circle above the Aegean sea for more than half an hour because an air traffic controller overslept, police said Monday.
An Olympic Airlines aircraft, arriving from the Greek capital Athens, and a Slovakian Airlines plane made several failed attempts to contact control tower personnel.
“They were calling the tower to get directions, but no one would answer,” a police official, who declined to be named, told Reuters. “The woman later said she overslept.”
Two things that were interesting to me in this article. One, they were flying to a place called Lesbos. That’s funny enough in itself.
Two: the penalty for this “mishap” was a suspension that will last “a few days.” Are you kidding me? A few days? Shouldn’t they be fired? I mean what if one of the pilots fell asleep in the air, are they going to give them a slap on the wrist?
You’re risking every passengers life here. Come on guys. Clean it up.

For the life of me I can’t understand how some mascots come to be. I feel like it’s a group of guys sitting in a room smoking pot saying, “dude, how weird can we make this thing?”
How is it possible to have a team name like Chiefs and wind up with a wolf as the mascot? How do you have a team that represents a bunch of fish and then have something that looks like an alien?
For whatever reason, ownership approves of mascots that in no way represent what I assumed the team is supposed to represent: their city, name, culture, whatever, anything but whatever the hell these mascots represent.
Here is a small collection of mascots that make zero sense to me.

Members of an Arizona State University fraternity vomited milk from a campus bridge and caused a car crash that injured two people, police said.
Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said the prank caused a woman in one car to stop in the road Monday night. Another car smashed into it from behind.
He said the woman and her 6-year-old daughter suffered only minor injuries.
You see that guys? Encouraging your pledges to drink milk until they puke huh? You could have at least done this the classy way…in the fraternity house.
Some people never learn.

I don’t know about you guys, but I played Nintendo obsessively as a kid. I would never stop until the game was won, ever. Whether it was Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, or Contra, every game was a fun challenge and victory was quite sweet.
One of the things I distinctly remember were both the theme songs and even certain level songs. They’d always stick in my head after playing and if I think pretty hard about it, I can still remember a bunch of them today.
Here are 10 that really stand out. And if these stay in your head? Sorry, but it’s not a bad thing is it? Just watching these clips makes me nostalgic. And please remember this isn’t a definitive ranking list. It’s the memories of my youth so take it as you wish.
