Daily Dose of Weird

Have you ever just wished for a few minutes of "peace and quiet?" Of course you have. Personally, I could deal without the occasional train whistle or lawnmower waking me up on the weekends (when I'm supposed to be sleeping in); and sometimes the constant sound of email and text message notifications makes me want to throw my phone against a wall. Turns out, though, that complete sile

I've always considered myself to be pretty tall.  At 6-feet-3-inches, I'm taller than most people I come in contact with.  It's been that way for as long as I can remember.  It's also lead to more head bumps than I can count!  But every so often, someone comes along that makes me look short.  If I ever stood next to Igor Vovkovinskiy, I would feel like a toddler.

Everyone knows that old statistic that you are more likely to get struck by lightning than win the lottery.  Bill Isles of Kansas certainly does, since it happened to him!

If you've ever longed to spend way too much money on a historical (and very morbid) experience, then have I got news for you!

As if puppies weren't already cute enough, a puppy born in California earlier this month may be the world's smallest dog.  Quick, hide it from Paris Hilton!

It's interesting to see the differences in fashion sense from one country to the next.  In the Yucatan and Mexico, for example, jewelry is a bit more...lively.

I've gone back and forth over the years on whether or not ghosts are real.  I definitely don't believe anything that supposedly happens on shows like "Ghost Hunters" or any of its half-dozen clones; but then again, that's no reason to completely dismiss all ghost stories as pure hokum, is it?  Well, at least now I know one thing for sure: From now on, if I ever feel the presence of a gho

While scientists and engineers in the rest of the world are thinking up ways to power cars with corn and hydrogen, the Denver Zoo is going with something a little more...processed.

I'm not trying to make you super-paranoid with this story, but you might find yourself taking a closer look at your food before you chow down on your next meal.

Almost every little girl I've ever met loves to dress up her dolls in outfit after outfit, going through tons of doll clothes, accessories, and hair styles to find the perfect look.  However, the girl in this story isn't so little, and she does the opposite; she loves looking like a doll.

Despite loving technology, occasionally I fear that humanity is becoming too dependent upon it.  I usually manage to dismiss this worry pretty quickly; but then I see a story like this one, and I start to worry again.
