Cleaning Out the Gene Pool
The Darwin Awards have a web presence. For those unfamiliar with this prize, it is usually given posthumously since the winner has successfully managed to remove him or herself from the gene pool. An example is the criminal who decided to rob a gun store by firing warning shots in the ceiling. He did this with a uniformed police officer and several armed patrons in the store . For more fun stories visit the Darwin Awards.
Do-It-Yourself Concert Tickets
Never again will you be embarrassed as you're forced to tell someone you missed a big concert. At the Concert Ticket Generator you can create you own concert ticket stub so you can prove you were there.

Yeti, The Ultimate Athlete
An earlier post provided one or two locations with Yeti (abominable snowman) taking batting practice with penguins. After several variations of this sport developed we now have the infamous Yeti branching out to other sports like soccer. There are even multiplayer versions available. Visit YetiSports.org for the latest information about this most amazing athlete. Warning: Some may consider this to be too violent for younger viewers. Parental discretion is advised.
