Chester Cheeto, Superstar?

March 25, 2008

cheetos.jpg –Hehe!–Just when you think that they couldn’t find Jesus or Elvis in any more places, a Houston youth minister has found an image of Christ in…a cheeto!  He is said to have outstretched arms, and everything…and they shall call His name, “Cheezus!”–Remember when someone saw the Virgin Mary in a cheese sandwich? 

Someone paid over a thousand bucks on eBay for a cornflake shaped like the state of Illinois…it will be part of a traveling collection.– Yep, I’d pay to see that!  They are picking the Illinois cornflake up in person so it doesn’t suffer the fate of the world’s biggest cornflake, which broke into three pieces in the mail…

Eagle Ray Fatality

March 22, 2008

eagle-ray.jpg –A 55-year-old woman from Michigan was killed on Thursday off the Florida Keys when the moving boat she was on was struck by a 75-pound eagle ray. This was simply a bizarre accident; the woman died when she was knocked to the deck of the boat. A barb from the ray is not what killed the woman as had been the case with Steve Irwin.

The ray is thought to have leaped to avoid predators or dislodge parasites; this was normal behavior. The woman was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time…

White Killer Whale

March 9, 2008

white-killer.jpg — An elusive, almost mystical white killer whale has been photographed off Alaska’s Alleutian Islands! The whale has been previously reported but its existence not documented. Actually only the saddle area of the whale is white; other areas are kind of a yellow or brown-white.   This means that the whale is not a true albino, which is proably good…albinos tend not to live long, and are prone to health problems.  The whale is thought to be a healthy male, about 25 – 30 feet long and weighing upwards of 10,000 pounds…very cool!

The Lizard Man of South Carolina

March 3, 2008

lizard-man.jpg — There haven’t been many accounts of his activity since 1988, but South Carolina’s Lizard Man is now reportedly becoming more active. This is a seven-foot bipedal reptilian creature with scaly green skin, red eyes, and three elongated digits on all four limbs. He has been seen most often in swamp areas and back roads of South Carolina, and may have been seen as early as 1972 although the first “official” account is from 1988.

Lizard Man is strong, agile, and swift. In the 1988 account, a 17-year-old was changing a tire late at night near the Scrape Ore Swamp near Bishopville, S.C. and had just finished the task when a reptilian creature came running at considerable speed towards him. The kid managed to get back inside the car, but not before Lizard Man had grabbed the driver’s side mirror. The observer then took off in the car with Lizard Man in pursuit, the creature then jumping onto the roof of the car. The young man sped up and was able to shake the thing off, but damage was done to the side mirror and roof. Lizard Man was described as “strong and angry.” Other independent sightings were reported in 1988.

Recent reports of Lizard Man’s activities have included damage to cars and the slaughter of cats…
