Yeah, this actually isn't that funny for people in SLC, who have to pay... well, less now, gas went down to $3.15 this weekend. However, it is a LITTLE funny. Here's what happened.
Now, what I want to know is: How did the attendant NOT realize that his pumps weren't charging the right amounts? To fill up most cars these days cost at LEAST $40. However, people were going out with receipts of $10! After the first ten people or so, I would have shut things down. And with THAT many people going to that particular gas station all at once... you have to just WONDER and QUESTION and DO SOMETHING!!!
Maybe this is just another of those common sense things that people seem to be ignoring recently. To one, it seems blatantly OBVIOUS! To another, it seems... "Sorta funny...".
I'm glad gas prices have dropped. Now if only this little fairy tale could happen everywhere. And even include a happily ever after for the people.
I wonder... did the people get tracked down and fined for the gas they were undercharged for?

You're NOT Excused!
As many wrongfully weird things as there are in the world, I can always count on a few to make me laugh.
Or a "phew!" in this case.
Bad puns aside, just read this.
I was trying my darnedest not to just bust out laughing as hard as I could when I read this, as I was in a computer lab at the time. However, now? I am howling with laughter.
Not only is the situation stupendously funny, the way the dialogue is written sounds like a bad elementary school argument. And now, if you will, in my own words:
He farted at me!
Nuh-uh! My tummy hurt, and he wouldn't let me go potty!
Yeah, well... he was being mean and wouldn't play right!
I needed my inhaler and you wouldn't let me go get it!
You're wrong! That's not what happened!
Is so!
Well, you still hit me, so you still get a time out! Nyah!
---------
Alas, that IS what our world is coming to. And I'm going to report it all one day, when I'm a journalist, and LAUGH! And yes, I will still laugh when it is me in that spot, acting like a prepubescent delinquent, because I feel that I would have deserved to be laughed at.
Offensive odor... Riiiiight. But seriously, kids... don't drink and drive. You'll get a tummy ache, and go to jail for farting.

Don't worry, I'll get it! But first I have to kill my mother.
No, the title isn't a play on ANYTHING. Nor is it a joke. It actually happened 10 miles away from Colorado Springs, CO this past weekend.

I just have to say this: Guys, you don't have to buy EVERYTHING for your girlfriend. When it gets to the point where you have to get her breast implants... I mean, really, you can't figure out by then that SOMETHING is wrong?
And don't think I forgot: Girls, if you boyfriend wants to buy you breast implants... beat the living snot out of him, and run. Any guy that's supposed to love you should love YOU. Not anything sized about you.
What possessed this guy to feel that he needed to KILL his mother to get money to get his girlfriend plastic surgery!? What ever happened to a good ol' fashioned lemonade stand, or working at the local burger joint?
The simplicity of life has left us! Enter the reign of terror, for all must fear the new generation known as: Generation Text!
Sadly, I am a part of this generation. However, I think you ALL will be pleased to know, I'm not as spoiled as to ask someone else to buy me something as UNNECESSARY as plastic surgery! If I had that much money... I'd actually buy something useful.
Like tuition for COLLEGE!
Maybe that's their problem...
On a lighter note... a note I have to include... Feel free to check out my little website, containing (but not really full of) awesome things about me!

Sit... stay... Dial 911. Good dog!
Dog training usually consists of this: Sit. Stay. Roll over. Don't go on the carpet. Get off the couch. Down.
Good dog.
Standard, simple stuff. It's never more complicated than this. Unless, of course, you have a super cool trained dog there. Then it gets into more of: Get the soup. Open the fridge. Call me an ambulance.
I found this story to be amazing. Honestly, I never knew such a thing was possible! People who have no idea why a dog would know how to dial a phone, they're called helping animals, or something like that. They're really useful for people who can't do normal functions or who are a little older, and need the additional help or company.
Such animals are specifically trained from a young age to assist people, and make sure they are okay, every day. Through all of that, this is the first time a dog ever dialed the phone to get their owner assistance.
For that, I put it up here. Strange, yes. But commendable as well!

Under... what!?
America. Land of the free. Home of the brave. And all of that great all american jazz we've all grown to love and respect.
Though... I can't really tell you how annoying it is that some people take severe advantage of this, to the point of ridiculousness. And I'll tell you this: It's mainly people MY age. Which is disturbing.
And this is just one of those examples. Wouldn't you know it, I talk to people about this mess all the time? Sure. We have the right to "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", but what about the rest of the world who finds this disturbing, and makes US unhappy?
I realize some of these "fashions" are the in thing, or whatever, but I'm not that old. And I find it really gross! What about the rest of us, the rest of our lives, liberties, and puruits of happiness?
At the end of the news blurb, it states that the public defender said the instant she saw this fashion, she realized she was getting old. However, I don't think it's a matter of getting old, but a matter of what's right in society.
And so, I leave you with this note, readers: Pay attentio to what you're wearing. And if you get these weird stares, that AREN'T the normal "Wow, you look nice" stares, you may want to check yourself. Not that many people want to see your underwear.
...Leave SOMETHING to the imagination.

It's Not Easy Being Green
Animals. We all love them, furry, scaley, big, small, four legged... more legged. It doesn't matter.
Except... in one perticular, peculiar posting, reported from Tokyo, Japan.
Green Polar Bears?
And the reader(s) out there may be wondering, aren't polar bears supposed to be fuzzy, cute... and white? And yes. You'd be right to guess that. But I suppose in Japan, they have a completely different method of thinking. Which consists along the lines of: "Green polar bears? That's strange, exotic... and a big money maker!"
Why else wouldn't they clean out the stinkin' water!? (And I know it says it's because of energy conservation, but... really? You can't just flush out the water, send it to a water purification plant, and reuse it?)
People, green polar bears aren't really cute. To me, it's fairly sad. We're already destorying their natural habitat due to global warming, and now we're refusing to clean their unnatural homes? It's got to stop! Honestly, all they have to do is hold the polar bears in a cage for a while, probably at night so they can sleep, clean out the water, and get rid of all the algea. Cold water up in the arctic doesn't have algea. This isn't natural! Why just leave it, and hope for the best later? They shouldn't have to get used to it, it's supposed to be a, some what GOOD imitation of their natural homes!
Someone, please go clean the polar bear's swimming water. Green polar bears aren't good!

Love in a Game
Love. It's a very complex thing. At least, that's what I think. However, for some people, they think they're above that rule of thumb and would much rather do something completely outrageous and crazy, like the woman in this story.
Wow. I can understand the theory that love can make you crazy... but wouldn't this be pushing it, just a little? But then again, why would she kidnap him in the first place?
Hmm... Okay, don't answer that.
But seriously, there hadn't been any word in the news report of anybody asking anybody else to meet in real life, why hadn't she tried that first? It probably would have ended better than just to go try to kidnap him!
So, love is a weird thing. I can understand that. However, please, people, don't try to kidnap people you met over the Internet.
This has been another peculiar news post in the world today!
