"Care for a drink of pissky? I made it myself."

If you hoped this was a sick joke, you’re not alone. But it’s real. They call it the Gilpin Family Whisky project, and it is a high end line of single malt whiskey made from the sugar-laden urine of people with diabetes. Yum?

Thankfully it won’t be made into a commercially available product line, but a tasting session will be set up at 100% Materials, a London design event. The thought of people drinking it is enough to gross the hell out of me.

And am I the only one thinking pissky is a more appropriate name for this whisky?

I thought stupid fights like these were reserved for soccer, hockey and the like. Tennis too now? And over stupid things like that? Oh America, you never fail to find new lows to sink to.

Watch the video of the fight below.

PS: The guy with the blue sure looks like he’s enjoying his position. You’ll know what I mean when you’ll see him.

The likely results of having a virtual girl on the road.

The Globe and Mail writes that two Canadian safety organizations have partnered to install a $15,000 device that projects a 3D girl chasing a pink ball down the street onto a road in Vancouver, British Columbia. The 3D image will look like an indistinguishable mark from far away, but by the time the driver is within 30 meters of it, the image of the girl and ball will become clear. Getting closer to it will make it disappear again.

So what happens if the driver swerves to avoid the virtual child and hits a live human? Who gets sued?

This is basically like hanging a dummy dressed like a little kid off a highway overpass and dropping it in front of rush hour traffic. It just begs for trouble and doesn’t improve road safety at all.

I’m astounded at how stupid this idea is and that it has actually been implemented. But hey, it’s not the first horrible idea Canada had.

The man with the snakes was identified as Keng Liang “Anson” Wong. He ran the biggest global animal smuggling ring that has ever been broken and served time in prison for smuggling animals before.

Between 1996 and 1998, Wong spearheaded an international smuggling ring that illegally imported and sold more than 300 protected reptiles native to Asia and Africa. An undercover federal investigation successfully infiltrated this reptile trade, revealing that Wong illegally imported the reptiles by concealing them in express delivery packages, airline baggage, and large commercial shipments of legally declared animals.

There is a disturbing video going around the news outlets. It’s a video of blonde young woman in a red sweatshirt casually tossing squealing puppies into the fast-moving river one by one.

Michael Bay has informed me that he is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of the woman in the red sweatshirt and the person who shot this act of cruelty.

If you have any information, please email me at webmaster@michaelbay.com.

If the girl throwing those puppies in the river didn’t know she’s fucked yet (because she’s blonde, ZING!), this should be a strong clue.

If the Gulf of Mexico had a face, this would be it. "omg, not again"

News agencies are reporting that another offshore oil rig has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, just west of the one that exploded in April. This rig was owned by Mariner Energy.

A Coast Guard spokesman said that 13 people were on the rig and that 12 have been accounted for at this time.

Anyone else experiencing a deja vu?

Obvious fake "results" are obvious.

Turns out that those acai berry weight loss products claiming to boost metabolism and make your body burn fat quicker are nothing but worthless marketing tricks (duh!). Not only do they not work, but those who tried the “free trial” (that in reality costs around $70) couldn’t get refunds for their payments.

And that makes me believe the berries work in a different way: they make fat people waste money on crap rather than buy junk food with it. So while it’s not helping them burn fat faster, at least it’s sort of preventing them from putting on a new layer.

These dark blue berries come from South America. They are high in antioxidants and fiber, something we all want to add to our diet. But can acai berry pills, powders or drinks help you lose weight as the marketers claim?

“That’s all nonsense,” says Dr. John Swartzberg, head of the editorial board at the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter. “There’s nothing special here at all. It’s really a scam.”

But seriously now, it should be common sense that the only way to lose weight is by eating less and exercising more, so I don’t feel bad for the naive people who got scammed. It was a result of them being ignorant and lazy, so they deserved it.

A reason to stay in school?

It looks like the University of Florida is secretly planning to train the best Starcraft players in the world through a new honors class called “21st Century Skills in Starcraft.” No, seriously.

This is why they have the course:

With society becoming increasingly technology-based and fast-paced, it is important for professionals to be highly proficient in skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, resource management, and adaptive decision making. These skills are fundamental in Starcraft and therefore make the game a highly effective environment for students to analyze and take action in complex situations. Computer and video games of all types have become a major part of today’s entertainment and technology worlds. Also, online education is an area of intense growth with many employers and professions using online courses and workshops for career development. This course synthesizes the three threads of 21st Century skill development, gaming, and online education into an innovative and experiential approach that encourages students to identify, learn, and practice crucial skills and apply and relate them to real-world situations.

Surprisingly, the professor behind it is not from Korea.

But this isn’t the first time a university has taught a course in Starcraft. In 2009, UC Berkeley had one that aimed to teach students the “art of competitive Starcraft.”

The camera took one image every 15 seconds, so this 38-second video captures about 9 and a half minutes of real time. And because the space station orbits Earth once every 90 minutes, they get to see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day.

Check out the video below.

What the hell is wrong with people… did the media really damage the self-image of some that much? Scary.

Two days ago a video showing a dumb bitch girl gleefully throwing puppies in a river made the internet angry, prompting the 4chan /b/ board to “Find this dumb little bitch and throw her into a river.” And what do you know, the internet works in mysterious ways and her identity is believed to have been discovered. In case you’re interested:

Name: Katja Puschnik
Age: 19
Address : Munchener Strabe.16b, 85653 Aying, Germany
Email adress: katja.puschnik@ web.de
School: Gymnasium Ottobrunn
School email adress: sekr@ gymnasium-ottobrunn.de
School telephone number: 089/606665-0
Telephone number (parents): +49 8095 1782

And if you haven’t seen her video yet and don’t know what all the anger is about, check it out below – warning: animal abuse.

PETA has gotten in on the action too and offered a $2k reward for any information leading to this girl and her sick videographer.

PETA is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for drowning a litter of helpless puppies in the video above. Members of 4chan were able to track down the owner of the Bosnian YouTube account that originally uploaded the video and we currently have six possible leads, but the identity of the girl has yet to be confirmed. If you have information regarding this case, please contact PETA’s Cruelty Investigations Department.

I was never a big fan of PETA, but I have to give it to them this time. Hopefully her identity will be confirmed soon and she’ll get what’s coming for her. That might sound cruel, but it’s what happens when you record and post such a video online just to show that you can kill puppies.

Sick bitch.

What happened to my clothes?

A new study being published in the  has found that people who are heavy alcohol drinkers outlive nondrinkers, because the drinkers are/have more fun in their lives. Seriously, that’s what science says! However, what’s even better than being a heavy drinker is being a moderate drinker (1-3 alcoholic drinks a day), as the mortality rate associated with moderate drinking is the lowest of the group.

And I guess if the stress-relieving effects of alcohol can lengthen your life, weed must do so too. *hinthint*

Obviously though, even if alcohol is good for you, drinking irresponsibly can lead to a dramatically shorter life and other health issues, so exercising common sense is still the #1 way to live longer.

Multiply that trash 5 times to get a more accurate picture.

Police have been searching for a missing Las Vegas woman for four months without any success, only to find that she was dead inside her own house buried under mountains of decomposing garbage, food, clothes, animal feces and other gross stuff. And yes they did search the house several times, even with dogs from a unit that helped locate bodies at ground zero after Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina.

“For our dogs to go through that house and not find something should be indicative of the tremendous environmental challenges they faced.”

Great news for serial killers everywhere. Now you can hide bodies in the homes of hoarders and nobody will ever know.

A man from the Ivory Coast, identified by the initials A.B., tried the dumbest thing ever. He went to UAE’s central bank and tried to exchange two $1 million bills for smaller US bills or UAE dirham. And in an attempt to improve the chances of his scheme, he promised a woman employee of the bank 30% of the money if she helped him.

Of course, his plan worked just as well as BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig.

The phony notes he tried to pass featured the $1 portrait of George Washington and were mostly black and white on the front. Which is totally how $1 million bills would look like if they were real, right?

Maybe he should have printed himself a brain first.

“This is an emergency. We may shortly need to make an emergency landing underwater on water.”

How could something like that happen by accident? A passenger told The Sun that “the pilot hit the wrong button because they were so close together.” Guess it’s not just Japanese sumo players who have fat fingers and have trouble pressing only one button at a time.

And if you’re thinking that an event like this is harmless, imagine having to fly the rest of the way with half the passengers needing a change of shorts. Not to mention that the anticipation of death is probably worse than death itself.

Supplies and small games are now being lowered regularly to keep the miners in good health conditions. But what I think they really need is some computers with World of Warcraft on them. That’s the only thing that can make living four months in a hole that’s 700m underground bearable (and that’s a fact).

The view is especially nice between 0:27-29. I’m just sayin’.

You’re welcome.

A Thai woman trying to board a flight to Iran out of Bangkok’s airport has been caught trying to smuggle a two-month-old tiger cub in a bag filled with stuffed toys.

The tiger was sedated in an attempt to make him fit in with the stuffed toys in the bag, but “x-rays aroused suspicions among airport staff who believed they had seen an image resembling a real animal.” I guess stuffed toys haven’t reached that level of perfection yet where they look just like real animals. Thank god.

This reminds me of a video I’ve seen a few days ago where a guy in Iran is washing his pet lion on the street. Guess he got bored of the lion and wanted a tiger.

He's probably smoking a car.

A group of Canadian companies are collaborating to produce a car made of Cannabis.

“Yeah right,” you say, but seriously, it’s true. They’re calling it Kestrel, and the first 20 cars are scheduled to surface next year. And while you might expect such a vehicle to run on junk food, it’s actually electric.

The compact car, which will hold a driver and up to three passengers, will have a top speed of 90 kilometres per hour and a range of 40 to 160 kilometres before needing to be recharged, depending on the type of battery.

What I think they forgot to mention is the fact that the car is only good for one trip and can’t go anywhere besides the grocery store. On the plus side, the vehicle should be able to deal with pot holes quite well.

Joking aside, the car is actually made out of the hemp type of Cannabis, not “marijuana,” so it won’t get you high if you torch it. Or will it?

The worst part about it is that it comes from a guy whose albums are selling really well in Turkey. I’m not going to say that it says a lot about the culture of that region, but it certainly says something.

Lyrics:

I went to internet cafe
Logged in to my Facebook page
I called my self “Crazy” (Cilgin)
I’m a member as of now
I met with a sweetheart
We’ve been writing each other everyday
It’s like a medicine to my heart
I become a loving person

She deserves to be be loved
And has beautiful eyes
It’s hard to find someone like her
Everyone is asking how I found

Facebook Facebook I’ve been seeking everyday
Facebook Facebook where I found her
Facebook Facebook It’s a love at first sight
Facebook Facebook I think I’m falling for her
