Take a look at this site that gives very simple instructions on how to turn an everyday deli pickle into a light bulb.

"Look, Ma - the pickle glows!"

5 of 9 Jiffy Lubes SCAMMED this undercover reporter

I have used Jiffy Lubes in the last few months.... this is unreal, especially at the end when the district manager lies about who he is.

Maine Mystery Beast

It was charcoal gray, weighed between 40 and 50 pounds and had a bushy tail, a short snout, short ears and curled fangs hanging over its lips, he said. It looked like "something out of a Stephen King story."

Charlotte Observer | 08/18/2006 | Firing disputed

Whooaaaaa, check this quote out from the complaint that Mayfield filed against Ray Evernham:

"Instead, for significant periods of time he had been, at best, and absentee manager and owner largely because at some point in time Ray Evernham had entered into an (sic) close personal relationship with a female driver he engages to drive on NASCAR's ARCA, Truck and Busch Series. That relationship became a subject of considerable discussion and distraction in the Nextel Cup garage area during the 2006 season."

Erin Crocker is the only female driver employed by Evernham Motorsports.

Whhhooaaaa, that's sexual harrasment!  And Erin Crocker ain't no looker either.

Fla. Man, 86, Pays $1 Ticket From 1946

PALM HARBOR, Fla. - William Fogarty doesn't understand the fuss. He just forgot to pay a parking ticket. When he finally realized it, the 86-year-old retiree made good and mailed in a money order, to pay a $1 ticket he got 60 years ago.

Fogarty got the ticket in Norfolk, Va., in May 1946. Soon after, he bought a $1 money order to pay the fine but forgot to send it in. About a month ago, as he was looking through a box of collectibles from his Navy days, Fogarty discovered a wallet with the money order inside.

So he wrote a letter to the Norfolk Police Department and included
the money order.

"At my age, when I go out of here, I don't want to owe anyone a dime,"
he told the St. Petersburg Times.

Fogarty's money order will not be cashed, Norfolk police Officer Chris Amos said. Instead, it will be framed and displayed in the department's museum.

"It's one of those restoring your faith in mankind things," Amos said.
