Cymbalta, more reasons not to get it
I saw this commercial on TV for an anti-depressant. I understand that a drug company needs to watch its back by advising patients not to take drugs if they have other pre-existing conditions or are on other medications. BUT, if the ad says, ask your doctor for details, then WHY do they spend 75% of the commercial giving you reasons not to buy the product. Brilliant.
Hippos are faster than Usain Bolt
So it turns out that an hippo can run at 30 mph, whereas the fastest man on earth only reaches 29 mph. This idiot game keeper decided to disturb this beast of an animal while it was eating lunch, and now he's running for his life. Never, i repeat, NEVER, disturb a fat man (or animal) while eating!

An experiement in killing fruit flies
it was found that the best method was the holocaust method, bait them in with some fruit, slam the door a few hours later and crank up the heat. As the saying goes, if you cant take the heat, then get the f out the kitchen.

Babies Thrown 50ft Off Temple
This is the most cracker thing i've ever heard:

The bizarre ritual of throwing newborn babies off a temple 50ft high and catching them in a cloth sheet has been observed in India.
Babies are thrown from a temple
Devotees at a Muslim shrine in western India's Maharashtra state believe the act makes children stronger.
It is practised by couples who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb 'Dargah' (the Muslim place of worship) in the Musti village of Solapur.
The ritual has been observed for more than 500 years.
The devotees believeit is good for the health of the child but some onlookers were visibly shaken by it.
Locals claim no child who has been thrown has suffered any physical disability.
The ritual is observed by both Muslims and Hindus every year and takes place amid tight security.
One mother, named Jayashree, said: "If you do this, it is good for the child.
"They become healthy. It is to get the blessings of God. The babies are between nine months and 11 months old or sometimes are of even less age."
Another mother said: "It is to give them courage, intelligence and strength. This is an old tradition.
"These people have been doing this and we will continue to do this."
A health department worker added: "People have fear and devotion for the God. People do this so that the child becomes courageous. This is what people want. They feel it would benefit them."
