Ever wondered what the cost of a Cheetos fight would be? Turns out to be about $5,000.
A 40-year-old couple was arrested, and had to each post a $2,500 bond, for getting into an altercation involving the use of Cheetos. Oh, Shelbyville. I guess Homer was right about you all along. Okay, so it’s not that Shelbyville, but it’s still funny.
Okay, as pranks go making a giant monster out of construction barrels on the side of the road is pretty inventive.
The 22 year-old North Carolina State student responsible for “Barry” (that’s what I’m calling him, let me know if you’ve got a better name) faces charges for damage to property, larceny, and awesomeness. You can find out more about the story here.
Barry was murdered after only a single day of life by a mob of city and state employees bent on destruction who couldn’t fathom the gentle nature that lurked behind his monstrous visage. His memory, however, will remain with us forever.
Barry the Barrel Monster, R.I.P.
I love my Coke, even though they got rid of that tasty Black Cherry Vanilla, but this news can’t be good for those of you who like Coke Zero.
It seem Venezuela has banned the product, from the entire country, after citing health concerns with the local bottling plant (can you still call it a bottling plant if they’re putting it in cans?). That’s right folks, Coke Zero isn’t healthy enough for Venezuela.
So, do you still want to down that can in your hand? You can read more of the story here.
The internets were all a twitter about this yesterday, but I couldn’t quite find time to share this with you. Here’s Zach Morris showing up in place of Mark-Paul Gosselar on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Two Jimmy Fallon posts in one day is a little odd, but, at least as far as this one is concerned, “it’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell.”
Okay, my reasons for doing this post have probably at least as much to do with getting to use that headline as the actually story. That may sound like the title for a sketchy B-movie (most likely directed by Uwe Boll or Paul W.S. Anderson), but it’s actually a growing problem in Indonesia where the large animals have begun attacking local fishing villages.
Although still rare, the rate of the attacks has increased and fear has begun to spread around the islands (Can you blame them? They’re freakin’ Komodo Dragons, people!).

I think we’re all a little played out when it comes to Pirates; but if there was ever a reason for the buccaneers to take center stage in pop culture again, it might be the commentator for this horse race.
Here’s a little bit of the bizarre for you. It seems that authorities in Jefferson City, Colorado, are looking for a man dressed as a ninja who has stolen approximately $12,000 in cigarettes over the past two years. How ’bout that? A smoking ninja (and not in the hot sexy kind of way)! Read more here. It seems our Nicotine Ninja takes only name brands, but the article doesn’t go into detail on which ones he prefers. So I’m wondering, what brand of cigarettes do ninjas smoke?
Seeing as a few of us are still debating the merits and faults of the new Star Trek this little gem, clips from the original series mashed-up as a Mentos commercial, seemed too good not to share. Enjoy!
Say what you want about whacked-out hot chicks, but they certainly make the world a more interesting place to live in. Pam Anderson and Audrina Patridge (who seemingly have nothing better to do) have decided to go in with Samantha Ronson and create their own Strip Club Steak House in New York City called Sapphire New York. No word yet on what led to this decision, or if the owners play to strut their stuff on stage (I’m betting not and even if so, do we really want to see the current 41-year-old Pam shaking her ta-ta’s?). America, what a country, where an aging Playboy bunny and two minor celebrities can increase their fleeting moments of fame by trading on the flesh of the sisterhood. Nice. More here.
