4,000 people are injured by teapots each year.

See this? This, my dear friend, could potentially be a deadly weapon.

Boy Receives Rocks Instead of a Nintendo DS for His Birthday

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

From Yahoo! news:

Mom Jodi Wykle bought a Nintendo DS from her local Wal-Mart as a birthday gift for her son, knowing that he be pleasantly surprised with the gift.

He was surprised alright, but not in a pleasant way. What he saw when he unwrapped the gift wasn’t a  handheld console, but a bunch of rocks and a Chinese newspaper.

It gets better: The mom tried contacting Wal-Mart to return it, but they refused, saying that it’s a Nintendo problem. When she contacted Nintendo, they claimed innocence. Wal-Mart only conceded in refunding it (+ a $20 gift card) when it found out that someone had angrily returned the same box of rocks earlier.

What’s your bet someone’s going to return a box of rocks with a Chinese newspaper to Wal-Mart in the next few weeks?

 

Just So He Doesn’t Forget His Name…

The scientific name of "Gorilla" is Gorilla gorilla.

It gets better!

One subspecies of the gorilla, the Western Lowland Gorilla, is Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

Pretty creative naming, if you ask me.

Anakin, He is Your Voice

Monday, April 27th, 2009

darth-vader-with-cape-sabre-lego-star-wars-brand-new-2881485James Earl Jones was the one who voiced the creepy voice of Darth Vader. David Prowse was actually the guy who played the character in the movie, and during shooting, he spoke all of Vader’s lines, not knowing that James Earl Jones was the voice that would eventually be used in the film until he saw it during the screening itself.

Additionally, Sebastian Shaw was the one who played Anakin Walker in "Return of the Jedi", while Hayden Christensen played the young Anakin in the prologue trilogy.

So if you’re going camping, remember: leave the bananas at home.
