"G-Mail"
While he storey made me laugh when I heard it last weekend, i thought about it some more and i came to the conclusion that it was wrong by a form of using censership. I understand the concept behind it but it is not up to google whether you can or cannot send e-mails at any time you wish (unless of course you have been reported for a crime using the e-mail or etc.)
I think these sutle kinks in freedoms can lead to much larger ones in the future. They alway start taking away freedoms little by little until you turn around and you no longer have any.
The story i found most interesting and weird was the one that the lady had been sitting on her toilet for a while and got stuck to it. It makes me wonder why she didn't want to get up and why her boyfriend didn't force her to get up. It said he called the police after a long time. I think it is dumb that he didn't call earlier. That lady should be embarrased for doing that.
i think the crazyest on is the guy trying to steel all those lobsters wasent he worred about loseing something else...not cool but still who desires lobster that bad
well weird is definitely the correct word! I personally think the story of the woman being shot by her stove is the most... whatever adjective you want to use(stupis, weird, hilarious) story. Is that woman for real? She dropped bullets in her kitchen and did the best thing she could think of...leave them there. All I can say is WOW!!!
well coolieo, I cannot understand it either. I have to admit some guys are braver than others and are willing to risk well you know. Personally I agree with you no one should want lobster that bad, really it's not my favorite.
psanches and coolio:
lobsters in the pants is indead very stupid. but brave would not be the word i would use try "whatever adjective you want to use(stupis, weird, hilarious)"
I can't imagine that somebody can sit two years on the toilet. I think that this is not possible to life two years without sun-light and just having food on toilet. It will be also hard for your leg muscles if you don't use them that long and how should that be possible to stuck in the toilet... I mean the toilet isn't organic. Besides, it has to be very boring to sit and sleep(!) on a toilet...
what I can't see is the the relationship of the toilet- story with the winning of the lottery. OK, it is weird to win the lottery twice a year but there are happening a lot of weird things every day, and if the price was (just) 20,000 dollars, the lottery was propably not too hard to win. I if there is a lottery with a ten million price it would be way harder to win twice a year.
All in all I agree that those thongs are weird and unusual but propably Kory McFarren is a good friend of the GMail guy and had a few beer to much before telling the news the story about his girlfriend...;-)
I agree with jaime eisner that it is not up to google whether you can or cannot send e-mails at any time you wish (unless it is for a crime or something). But you better should pay atention in which condition you are if you are writing e-mails and what you are writing. I would do this at least to save my reputation.
I also agree with Jaime that they are taking our freedoms little by little and I am scared of a worls without freedom and rights...
i have to agree with german boy =]
from what i understood being stuck on the toilet is pathetic. its not they boyfriends fault the women is extreamly lazy. he shouldnt have been put in jail.
the gmail idea was a pretty good idea. i know that when people have one to many to drink they tend to say and do things they shouldnt. this is really helpful for those people that dont control themselves while intoxicated.
'Bra Bandit'
Haha I had to pick this one. Who steals bras from Victoria's Secret? Look I know they are like high end, best quality stuff, but ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY bras on one Thursday. I think that the workers were on some unknown 'substance', if it wasn't them in the first place. Then something like 500 bras were stolen total within the last year. That's CRAZY!! This woman is not even a genius.. She just simply waited til people were busy.. But I have a question? How come the store manager has enough time to watch what the woman is doing, but when she starts stuffing bras everywhere, nothing happens? She doesn't do anything? ITS A CONSPIRACY!!!!!

Hahahaha the lady shot in the leg by her stove...... she had shotgun shells in the newspaper she lit the stove with haha dumb...
Haha. Agreeing with drake that lady stuck on the toilet and it does make me wonder why she never got up ... its like dont you wonder whats going on while your just sitting there stuck to a toilet haha seriously come on...
"Beau of woman stuck on toilet wins lottery"
I found this story to be one of the strangest stories Ive ever read. The story's weird elements included a man who won the state's lottery...second time this year and his girlfriend who stayed in their bathroom for 2 years straight. As if this story couldn't get any weirder, she apparently was stuck to the toilet
In response to coolieo: That story about the guy who was caught with 6 lobsters in his pants is definitely weird. And like you said, i wonder how concerned he was about pincers being in his pants!
I just have to go with the lady stuck to the toliet, I mean really....why didn't her boyfriend try to get her out or call someone or SOMETHING. Just bizzare, real bizzare.
Response to Andrew: Yeah, you'd think someone would be smart enough to not keep shotgun shells in such a place, but i guess some people dont really use common sense.
I'm pretty sure that the woman who sued L'Oreal for HER mistake of becoming a brunette is a little odd.
Being a blonde, I know how much fun it can be, but I wouldn't sue a major company and take anti-depressants just because I accidentally picked up the wrong package of hair dye.
But as I read all of these stories, it really makes me feel better about myself to know that there are people out there that are just a little crazier than I am.
IN RESPONSE TO EVERYONE WRITING ABOUT THE TOILET STORY:
Here's some background info: the lady wasn't on the bathroom doing her "business" and what not. She had psychological damage from her childhood years where she sought comfort by sitting in the bathroom by herself. And she had a mental relapse and her boyfriend took care of her while she was in the bathroom; he fed her and gave her a new change of clothes everyday.
So to restate my point: she wasn't on the toilet doing her business.
my story that i though was weird for the week is when Hall where at the gas station pumping gas and he got stock by lighting. If was him i wouldn't be at the gas station while its raining. But if i was on my way home from some where and i was low on gas then i would try 2 get gas while its raining thats if i really need it. But responding to ddrank about the lady being suck on the toilet i think to me that was wrong because she could of got up and her boyfriend should of helped her instead of winning the lottery.
I have to agree with what philip(germanboy) said.. How can someone just sit on a toilet for two years¡ And plus why would that guy even stay with her.. No offense but why would you stay with someone who is sitting on a toilet for two years and practically grows and becomes one¡ EW.. And it is a toilet its not like she was bed ridden she was stuck on a toilet.. This and that Victorias Secret bra story is ridiculous.
I would have to say the lobsters in the pants was the most weird. Any guy that knows how bad and cruel that could have ended up would slap that guy. I think it is funny that he wanted the lobsters bad enough to risk his babies lives :)
All of the stories sounded pretty weird to me, but the one that had to take the cake has to be the crazy lady that was stuck on her toilet was her husband who was supposed to be watching her was off winning the lottery. Honestly alone just growing into the toilet and sitting there long enough makes it a pretty weird story to me. But then there is the other half; her husband wins two lotteries, what are the chances of that. Think about it winning the lottery once is an amazing task itself, but two in one year that’s amazing. Their were a lot of good funny stories but this one stuck out most to me.
Okay how could someone just get such a histerical phobia while on the toilet. Then not even try to overcome it instead just letting themselves grow into it. I think that it is ridiculous that the husband got in trouble for not helping her through it too.
The lobster story sounded pretty funny also. The fact that a man would go that far as to put not one but six lobsters that have ginormous pinchers on them down his pants is crazy dumb. What was he trying to pull? It just shows what kind of people their are in the world.
Wow!The weirdest story i've herd so far is the lady that sat on a toilet for 2 whole years!That's pretty weird, and having to eat and sleep on a toilet has to be uncomftable or something...and wow her boyfriend or whom ever he was to her is pretty weird him self for telling the news what's up with his girfriend..oh and also having a relationship and siting on a toilet for 2 years is just wow i couldn't imgaine anyone who would actualy be able to keep it this a relatoinship goind for this long and while sitting on a toilet yeah...weirdest story i've herd.
Ha-ha the story of the bra bandit was so funny, really why would someone do that?
Really were the bras from Victoria Secret that important? Ha I also like the lobster story to they were both pretty funny. I wonder what these people were thinking when they did this stuff.
in response to Eric Kern,
yah I agree the woman stuck on the toilet was so weird, I’ve never heard of such a thing, and wow her boyfriend wins the lottery for the SECOND time, that’s so weird and to top things off he ends up going to jail for abuse, which I don’t think was his fault, he was just letting her sit on the toilet.
putting lobsters in your pants is pretty crazy. He probably has to have reconstructive surgery on his area now.
I agree that the fat lady story is insane too. Maybe her boyfriend glued her to the seat as a joke.
I think that the most interesting story was the one about the Cambodians sawing their house in half as part of a divorce settlement. This story is interesting because "sawing" houses in half has been brought up before in divorce court. However this is the first time that I have ever heard of it actually being done.
I thought the strangest story was the man trying to steal the lobster. What kind of guy wants to steal lobster and put them in his pants. If I was him i would be worried of being pinched in a special place. I guess he didnt have anything to worry about. Why wouldnt he just go to a Red lobster if he wanted some lobster!!! hahaha
Jaime that was a good story too!!! It did make me giggle alright!:) haha
I agree with Jaime because he has a very good point about the taking away of freedoms.
i agree with drake 1 the ladie stuck to the toilet is rediculus who can really sit there that long to get stuck she would have sleep there eat and drink there too wat a crazy ladie
i thought the strangest story was the one where the lady gets stuck on the toilet. i mean seriosly why wouldnt her husband try to get her off. its stupid how he was more worried about winning the lottery but not worried about his wife.
i would have to agree with znothwehr. who would want to put 6 lobsters down there pants thats just crazy and stupid. was he really craving lobsters that bad.
there was one story where a guy was mooning a resturant (bare) and he lean to far a broke the glass and fell back and the glass..... well you know. the owner didn't press charges, but i bet he was thinking "he had what was coming to him"
WELL, IT HAS BEEN ENTERTAINING READ!!!
NEXT WEEK BACK TO THE EVEN MORE BIZARRE: THE GOVERNMENT.
The story i found kind of weird would be the one where Charlotte Feeney gave a lawsuit claiming L'Oreal Inc. because i guess she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products. She said that it ruined her social life because she was never going to be able to return back to her natural blonde hue. She was so traumatized she needed anti-depressants to cope with it. She says she suffered headaches and anxiety. She also claims to have missed the attention that blondes received, so therefore she decided to stay home and to wear hats most of the time. A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney's 2005 lawsuit Monday, saying she never proved her allegation that L'Oreal put brown hair dye in a box labeled as blonde. The company also had disputed the claim. I picked this story because i mean if i'm going to dye my hair like of course i'm going to check what color it is before and after i get it out of the box. Its also weird because she never really proved her allegation. Another thing thats weird, was her behavior and reaction to what happened. For example the whole taking anti-depressants thing. Also how she claimed how she suffered from headaches and anxiety. For the most part the staying home part and wearing hats all the time, i thought that was a tad bit ridiculous.
I agree with Kezerae. I mean seriously both the wife and husband are like dum. The wife because i mean who sits in the toilet for like ever? The husband for letting her sit there, and for worrying more about the money than his wife. I don't think thats right!
Okay so i thought that the blonde ladie story was riduculous. I mean, I guess you can make a law suit about anything, but your social life being ruined because of your hair dye??? I'm sure it's not even L'oreal's fault. i bet that someone at the store she purchased her dye at switched it thinking that it was funny. But yeah it says in that article that the girl is now on anti-depressnts... i think she is a liar about the whole thing. i bet she wanted to try and get money from L'oreal and get a perscription for some drugs.
And yeah, i agree with almost every one else about the extreme weirdness of the lady stuck on the toilet with the super lucky lottery winning hisband. but i wanted to write about something different.
I think the wierdest story there was, was the story about the man stealing the lobster. as a man if i were to steal a bunch of lobsters i would not stick them in my pants, i would most likely put them in a back pack or some kind of bag. It was a good and funny story though.
in response to Michael Lang...
haha yeah.. I thought that was definitely weird too! like who would think to actually cut their house in half? i might joke about it, but i can't be that hard to find another place to live! haha.. crazy people today! not even i would do that.. i dont think! ;)
the most interesting story i would have to say is where the couple got their house split in half because of the divorce. Honestly, is it that necessary and could you be that mad to get your house literally split in half? The house wasnt that big anyways but what are you going to do with just half a house i dont get it.. but thats just crazy just buy a new house or something.
i kind of agree with kezerae. i agree the the woman who got stuck on the toilet seat is a truely bizare story.. but i dont understand why he would get in trouble for that? he is clearly not the one who got stuck and its not like he was making her sit there so i dont see why he would get in trouble the wife was just being stupid and wouldnt get up.
i thought the best one was about the man that was skinny dipping in the japan palace. it just cracks me up and some guy would swim naked and splash water on the police. its seriously soooo funny. and i give him sooo much credit! it seriously cracks mee uppppppppp.
chelseas comment cracks me up, and i agree with her
"what are you going to do with half a house"
hahahahaha
no joke, sometimes i think people do stupid stuff so they can get attention from the media then sue them and get money.
In response to the lobster story i think it was pretty funny. I mean i like lobster but i wouldn't stick lobsters down my pants.
So the lady that sues the hair thing becuase her hair turned brown is crazy. okay everyone knows you can go from brown back to blonde. i see it everyday. so i dont know what she is freaking out about.
philip. i agree about the toliet one too. sleeping on the toliet. living on it. dear goodness. that has to be uncomfortable and getting sore. i could even be on a toliet for more than like 5 min without being bored !

The story that i tought was the craziest and funny was the story were the mom had her 9-year old daughter drive. I didnt even know that little girls on that age could drive and i was really surprised and schoked at the same time.
ddrake1
i am going to agree with him because i have to admit that story at first when i geard about it i couldnt bealive it but then as i read it i was just in schock and it was surprising .Know im still like thinking about it.
I believe that the weirdest story would have to be the one where the woman got stuck to her toilet and her boyfriend let her stay there. I could only say wow. It's all her fault and not her boyfriend's.
I have to agree with Germanboy and fspencer that the woman getting stuck on the toilet for three years is stupid and pathetic.
I think the funniest story was the one where a lady stole many bras. It was funny because it doesn't happen all the time, and it makes you wonder what someone would do with so many bras.
response to Mike Gilardi:
Haha! thats so true! what in the world was the store manager doing watching the lady steal bras and not do anything? that is weird, maybe she zoned out or something
I thought the most interesting story was the Norwegian lawmaker that turned to fortune teller. I partially thought this was appealing to me because my largest heritage is Norwegian, but I mostly believed that is is fairly comical that a person running in a legislature would turn to a 'fortune teller' to make decisions. Adding to that, while funny, it is also very scary, if a large number of senators or representatives did this, they would not truly run the country.
kenny...
I don't know if stupid and pathetic would be the correct words, you never know the meaning behind why she truly stayed there.
I think that the story about the mom letting her drive at the age of 9 was stupid.... If she went and partied then she should of had a designated driver. That made me so mad... Wow parents these days........
I agree with znothwehr. Wow how stupid could people be to put lobsters down their pants!!!!
Well. I think that the funniest one is the Gmail one. Because I know that when you are typing while under the influence stuff can get pretty out of hand. Most of it is just stupid funny stuff but if your mad at the person...watch out. So yeah thats a really good idea and totally hilarious.
the story i thought was weird was Jeniffer Anderson's whole family being murdered. Her nephew and mom and her brother
