<p>This has to be one of the strangest tattoos that I&#8217;ve ever seen &#8230; oh I&#8217;ve seen some weird ones, but this is one that I just don&#8217;t get the reasoning behind it.</p>
<p>All I can think is that this guy must be totally dedicated to wearing Flip Flops and Sandals yet he wants to give the appearance of wearing shoes that lace up &#8230; uh uh &#8230; whatever floats your boat.</p>

<p>I think this dog&#8217;s had enough of this cats bossiness!  Poke Poke!</p>

<p>My niece has a cat that absolutely rules the house.</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t let their Lab do anything &#8230; the dog can&#8217;t go upstairs and it can&#8217;t go into most of the rooms in the house because the CAT won&#8217;t let her!  The poor dog pretty much lives in the dining room under the table because that&#8217;s the only place the cat will let the dog stay.</p>
<p>I think my nieces dog needs to give her cat a poke like the one in the picture is doing.</p>

<p>Ok, all I want to know is, where was this money during the 2010 Vancouver winter Olympics?<br />
</p>
<p>It certainly seems like she ? would have been a contender for a medal! What do you think?</p>
<p>Actually I wonder if this is an action shot .. snowboard flying over something or is it a balancing act with the snowboard and monkey balanced on something that looks like a homemade wooden bike?</p>
<p>Do you have any pictures of animals doing oddly Olympic worthy sport like activities? If so, use my contact form to tell me about your photos and we&#8217;ll arrange a post.</p>

<p>Ah kitty?  If you&#8217;re trying to do a pole dance I think you&#8217;re doing it wrong &#8230;<br />
<br />
first, that&#8217;s not a true pole, it&#8217;s a post, and secondly, you&#8217;re upside down!</p>
<p>I think you need some lessons!</p>
<p>Or maybe the cat just really loves that wooden post? Maybe that&#8217;s the equivalent of a cat hug?</p>
<p>Oh I know &#8230; the cat is an acrobat!  It&#8217;s about to do a somersault onto the narrow horizontal pole and then balance on it on it&#8217;s back. Yeah &#8230; that&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Cats are strange!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An Ohio woman, being driven around in a limousine, set off a riot shortly after she announced in a coat store that she&#8217;d won the lottery and would pay for everyone&#8217;s purchased.<br />
</p>
<p>The riot resulted not out of the sheer happiness of the stores customers, but over the fact that the woman was lying about having won the lottery.  It was all a hoax. </p>
<p>She had announced on Tuesday after entering the store that she&#8217;d spend $500 on everyone at the Burlington Coat Factory. This prompted customers to gather at the cash registers and call their relatives. </p>
<p>When police arrived, 500 people filled the store and another 1,000 were outside.</p>
<p>Cashiers rang up sales before discovering the woman had no money. Angry customers grabbed clothes without paying.</p>
<p>The limo driver turned the woman in.</p>
<p>Police say she was arrested on three outstanding warrants but wasn&#8217;t charged for the coat store chaos pending a mental health evaluation.</p>
<p>Well .. that&#8217;s an interesting way to start a riot!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Comal County Texas man found a green metallic tube when he was out cutting trees on his property.  He says he thought it had a military look to it, like a rocket launcher.  As it turns out &#8211; he was right.<br />
<br />
Oddly enough he took his find back to his home and displayed it on his dinning room table! A decal on the equipment discovered by Jarrette Schule said: &#8220;Guided Missile and Launcher, Surface Attack.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I had never seen it before,&#8221; said Schule, 34. &#8220;I looked at it, and it kind of looked like a missile launcher.&#8221;</p>
<p>The device was confiscated on Wednesday afternoon by an ordnance disposal team from Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. </p>
<p>Schule discovered the unarmed anti-tank weapon on Tuesday on his land miles away from a military installation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it fell out of something or if somebody just dumped it,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Schule did not want to leave the launcher on his vacant property, so he loaded it in his truck and took it to his house. He&#8217;s said to have spent Tuesday afternoon calling the FBI, Homeland Security and other agencies to report his find.</p>
<p>Military officials are trying to track who last had the launcher in their possession via the serial number that was found on it. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reverend Sun Myung Moon, 89, married tens of thousands of couples in the Unification Church&#8217;s largest mass wedding in a decade.<br />
</p>
<p>More than 20,000 people gathered at Sun Moon University campus in Asan, south of Seoul, for the &#8220;blessing ceremony&#8221; on Wednesday while some 20,000 more joined simultaneous ceremonies in the U.S., Brazil, Australia and elsewhere.</p>
<p>Some were new couples in unions arranged by the church; others were renewing their wedding vows. The brides wore wedding dresses or their national dress; the men wore black suits with red ties, with white scarves around their necks.</p>
<p>The global ceremony is meant to mark key anniversaries in the leader&#8217;s life: his 90th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his marriage to Han Hak-ja, church officials said.</p>
<p>Critics say the weddings show the church operates like a cult, brainwashing adherents into turning their lives and salaries over to Moon. In the past, Moon routinely paired off couples, with many first meeting on their wedding day.</p>
<p>These days, arranged couples usually meet several times beforehand, church officials said. But they&#8217;re not expected to skip off to a honeymoon; couples are required to observe a 40-day waiting period before living together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oops!</p>
<p> Reynolds Smith Jr. was a stalwart Democratic voter, however, the Alabama Democratic Party overlooked a very important fact when it appointed Smith to an interim party panel:<br />
</p>
<p><em>He died in November at age 83</em>.</p>
<p>The mistake was caused by outdated records according to Party executive director Jim Spearman. </p>
<p>He said the party received Smith&#8217;s name from a 2006 list of candidates for the Mobile County committee and then used a voter list to verify him as an active voter.</p>
<p>The panel was charged with replacing the local party&#8217;s executive committee. </p>
<p>Uh &#8230; I think they need to updated their records before they appoint anyone else to any committees!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Japanese Airline has started asking passengers on some of it&#8217;s flights to use the restroom prior to boarding the plane.<br />
</p>
<p>This strange request is one of the measures the airline is taking to reduce fuel consumption. </p>
<p> All Nippon Airways has estimated that if half it&#8217;s passengers went to the bathroom before boarding they could reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 4.2 tons per month. </p>
<p>The airline also plans to recycle paper cups, plastic bottles and use chopsticks that were produced from wood from forest thinning projects in order to become more environmentally friendly. </p>
<p>These measures are being taken on 38 domestic flights and four international flights throughout October. </p>
<p>The move follows earlier steps by airlines to reduce the weight of flights by trimming the size of in-flight magazines, slimming the handles of forks and spoons and using lighter drink trolleys and porcelain.</p>
<p>It is not the only airline looking to the lavatory to save money. Irish budget airline Ryanair has previously said it is considering charging passengers to use on-board toilets.</p>
