April 2009 ArchivesThey say you are what you eat. So unless you're feeling felonious, you might want to stay away from a certain hot dog stand in Chicago. You see, this dude named Jim Andrews is opening up a dog shop where ex-cons can sling snacks. Mmmmm ... delicious deviance. He's calling the place "Felony Franks," The Chicago Sun Times reports. But it gets even better than that. Andrews has crime-themed menu items and snarky slogans, to boot. "Food so good, it's criminal," and "... Bras. Gotta love 'em. They selflessly sit there, fighting the good fight against gravity, and get nary a note of praise. But one woman in Detroit better be singing the praises of her over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder, because police say it actually deflected a bullet during a break-in. Seriously.
I don't know about you guys, but I often dream about what I'd do if I won the lottery. You know, really awesome, outlandish stuff like fill my swimming pool up with Cherry 7up, buy my very own cloak of invisibility and wear it to work just to freak out my boss, or even - dare I dream - pay off my student loans. But my lotto-winning fantasies do not include hairy, naked people on horseback. Clements hit a $3.3 million jackpot in - where else? - Florida back in 2004, the Associated Press reports. Now he's apparently decided that farm livin' ... Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Do not use your birthday candles as earplugs. Wait - WHAT?! (Hang on ... Lemme get these candles out of my ears.

FOXNews.com recently interviewed this guy, Bob Dorigo Jones, who wrote Remove Child Before Folding: The 101 Stupidest, Silliest and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever. Jones told FOX that, these days, manufacturers go ... You know what the world needs now? Here's a hint: It's not love, sweet love. It's huffable chocolate. Yep. Some dudes from Harvard and the Illinois Institute of Technology have developed chocolate that you actually breathe, rather than eat, the Chicago Tribune reports. It's called Le Whif. It comes as an inhaler-type thingy full of chocolate particles. The science-types say those particles are too big to get in your lungs and make you cough. This strikes me as... You know what's better than a free bag of poop? A free bag of the poop of a champion! Duh. It's happening in - you guessed it! - Paris. A racetrack there will be handing out bags of horse dung to everyone who comes out to their main event this Saturday, the AFP reports. Who doesn't love a homemade party favor?!
