The Most Manly Man in Japan

In Japan, they have this contest to find out who is the most manly man. First, the contestants are submerged underwater in a swimming pool without any means of respiration except for a long tube that sticks up about the surface. The people above squirt water over the pool so that water goes into the men's lungs. The ones that cannot take this are eliminated. Next, they spray hot pepper over the pool so that hot pepper burns their lungs. The ones that cannnot take this are eliminated. These men are then taken to another area far away from their starting point. Here, they are weighed, and then they must eat disgusting things such as broiled pigeons. The ones that gain weight are taken to the next round. Here, they are hung upside down in bat costumes in trees. Cockroaches are dumped into the costumes and a smoke screen fills the air. The men who beg to come down are eliminated. The remaining men are taken to a muddy, rocky area. Here, they are to hold onto a log with an elephant on the other end. The elephant drags them over rocks mud and other ragged areas. They are sitting down, and their buttocks are scraped for several yards. The men that let go of the log are eliminated. The final stage of the contest is a solar room. These men sit in a clear box in the roaring sun. They are entisted by the people around them with showers and cold beer. If one no longer bares the heat and begs and begs for a beer he is eliminated and given a beer. The remaining man is the manliest man in Japan.

Well...They Say Don't Drink and Drive!

Control Tower: We have a blip on the radar at 15,000 feet. 86346V4, can you see anything out there?
Plane: Yeah, but I'm not sure. I'll fly closer and see.
Plane: Uh, you won't believe this but it looks like a chair attached to four weather balloons.
Control tower: Get out! get closer.
Plane: There is a guy on a lawn chair and he's passed out.

They got him down with a heleocopter. He got this great idea to get four weather balloons, a six pack of beer, and a BB gun to get him down when he sobered up. He was going to shoot one so it would deflate and bring him down.

Man, What a Way to Go

An unidentified Virginia man was found dead with his genitals smoking. Apparently, he climbed an electrical tower with a six pack of beer. He is throught to have drank each one and threw the empty cans down to the ground below after he finished them. He died from electrical current when he urinated and contacted a live wire. He fell from the tower and landed in the pile of cans below.

The World's most famous coffeepot? (The Sunday News, November 2, 1997)

Seen in the flesh, if that is the right word, the most famous coffeepot in the world seems a mite drab. It is a Braun 12-cup filter machine, of the kind seen in millions of kitchens and offices. It sits in a drab corner of the Cambridge, England, computer lab. Yet this mundane receptacle is the focus of worldwide interest. Each month, for example, around 32,000 people ask to view it, and since it first went on display in 1993 over a million browsers have checked it out. Just why the pot should be so fascinating is one of the mysteries of the age. What is indisputable is that the photograph showing its current state is one of the most popular destinations on the World Wide Web. (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/coffee/coffee.html). Way back in 1991, Quentin Stafford-Fraser and his fellow students at the Cambridge Lab were forced to share a single coffee machine. Coffee ran out often, and many students had to walk far to get to it. In frustration, Staftord-Fraser mounted a video camera on a retort stand and ran the wires under the floor to a networked computer which had a "frame-grabber" attached. Another student wrote a program which captured images of the pot every few seconds and Staftord-Fraser wrote a program which connected to the server and displayed an icon-sized image of the pot on everybody's screen. So they'd know when the coffee was on. --London Observer

I Thought Man Was Part Ape...Not Bird!

In one of the poorer countries, there are these people called the "ostrich people." Because of the countries interbreeding, their offspring are born with feet that consist of long skinny toes one , two, and three possibley in number. They greatly resemble the feet of large birds. They look at our feet the same way we look at theirs and believe their feet to be somewhat of a charm.

Teach the Sex-Ed Class a Valuable Lesson... A Pennsylvanian sex-ed teacher was showing her class how to open a condom with their teeth. In mid-lesson, the condom was inhaled into her esophagus. She choked and died. I think the class is having second thoughts about safe-sex.

"Hyde Park Man Digs Into Past as He Dwells on Cellar's Secrets"
Complied from Reading Eagle/Reading Times

A man lived in his house for eighteen years without knowing about the secrets it held. After his wife pasted away, he discovered that he had a lot of time on his hands. He had always wondered about his basement floor. In the middle of the cement floor, there had been a couple of pieces of slate, one rectangular and about the size of a stepping stone, and the other, a few feet away from the first, an axact circle in shape, and pretty big. When he walked on them, it sounded hollow. He got a sledge hammer and smashed through it in curiosity to see what was underneath. He found rubble, including slate and ornate marble fragments and what might be some sort of coal ash filling some sort of interconnected brick-lined vault, or pit, or tunnel. The whatever it was is circular at one end, wher the circular slate was, with a square cement column standing in the middle of circle, and with a long rectangular chamber leading from the circle, and apparently ending where the smaller, rectangular-shaped slate had been. From above, it's shaped like a huge keyhole. The brickwork is precise, especially in the rounded chamber, and the measurements are exact. The circle is exactly 4 feet in diameter. The rectangular chamber is exactly 3 feet in width. The overall length from the top of the circle to the bottom of the rectangle is 13 1/2 feet. The depth of the dig to this point is about 2 feet, so the over all depth of the chambers is not yet known. Nor is the purpose. Dr. David Webb, associate professor of anthropology at Kutztown University, has visited the site and intends to return next semester with some of his students hopefuly to get to the bottom of it. Webb says it resembles nothing he has ever seen, so he has no idea of when it was built, or what use was intended. Nor does the man's son, an architect, who's never seen anything like it in his studies. What is known of the history of the building is that it was the rectory for Holy guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church for about 40 years before he bought it, and before that, there may have been some bootlegging going on, according to local legend, and before that, around the turn of the century, it was built by a wealthy widow who lived there with her butler and maid. None of that has been of any help, and the family intends to research the history of the site. Until the finds out what it is, the man will not go into the basement unattended. There's plenty of light down there, and a high ceiling, and the walls contain faded decorations and ever coat hooks, as if it once was a place of festivity. His friend suggests that he may have stumbled upon the keyhole to hell.
