- Funny Signs to Make You LaughNovember 22 2008
-
Here are a few signs you might enjoy! Some might be more humorous than helpful depending upon your IQ.
Thanks for the warning! You just saved some of us a trip to the emergency room.
I’m not 100% certain, but you might want to think about bringing your own chair if you want to eat at this restaurant. And you might want to use the bathroom before you come!
Honey, could you take my automatic rifle back to the car? The sign said it’s not allowed. Apparently there is nothing allowed past this point!
Apparently the cop never took the time to read this sign, because he’s still sitting there! He’s going to make a good detective someday, because of his attention to details!
A universal sign for bus stops, park benches and restrooms, if I had these signs. I wonder if the designer of this sign is a comedian on his days off!
- Watch Where You Step: Earthworms Beneath Your FeetNovember 20 2008

Fishermen Love 'Em!
The earthworm is a common creature that lives under the soil. Their oft-common names include ”rain worm”, “night crawler”, dew-worm” and “angleworm,” the latter owing to its common use as fishing (angling) bait.
The body of the earthworm is basically a muscular system in the form of a tube, which houses the digestive system on the inside as another tube running the entire length. Earthworms have two main blood vessels that extend the length of the creature, with several aortic arches, -‘hearts’ basically. The number of aortic arches varies in different species of earthworms, but a common earthworm typically has five hearts.
All earthworms take food in a unique manner; their mouths are directly connected to their digestive tract with just a small crop (storage chamber) to help grind the consumed food to a more digestible slurry. They merely swallow their food and it passes directly into the digestive system. Earthworms mostly eat decomposing matter such as leaves, plant clipping and other plant material. Other varieties of worms are more 'geophagous.' That is, they eat soil or earthy loam-like dirt in a manner similar to &l
- The Gothic Church of Human BoneNovember 19 2008

The Roman Catholic chapel, Sedlec Ossuary, is home to between 40,000 and 70,000 human skeletons. These skeletons have been used to decorate the church with bone chandeliers, skeletal arches and large "bells"; piles of human bones with a hollow centre.

This is a close-up of a' bone bell', showing the hollow which extends through the base of each bell. These bells contain the bulk of the human remains within Sedlec Ossuary. The bells sit in each corner of the ossuary, a testament to mass human suffering.

The History of Sedlec Ossuary
In 1278, Abbot Henry of the Cistercian Monastery in Sedlec was sent to Palestine, considered by the Catholic Church as the Holy Land. He returned with a small amount of soil from Golgotha, which he scattered over the soil of the abbey cemetery.
Because of this pious act, the graveyard soon became a popular burial ground for central Europeans.
- Everyday Art: Dramatic Doors That Beg to Be Walked ThroughNovember 19 2008
-
Doors are symbols of opportunity and change. The unknown lies behind each door, just waiting for discovery. The doors themselves can be objects of art and can help to add color and flair to the most boring existence. These doors show how the ordinary can become extraordinary.
These beautiful, scrolled iron work doors add charm and elegance to an otherwise, pink entranceway. They are gorgeous while still creating an extra layer between inside and outside.
These doors themselves are painted plain white but the entranceway around it is a colorful and beautiful expression of creativity in mosaic. This entrance is anything but ordinary.

- That Crazy Claus: 13 Wacky Santas You Don't Want Coming Down Your ChimneyNovember 19 2008

We all love Santa Claus, but sometimes, Christmas seems to go a little of the beaten path. Here are a few of the odder Santas that I have seen.
Okay, this one really freaks me out. I have no idea what they were thinking.
When Santa and friends party, they party hard! Somehow, I doubt that he is on the "good" list.
Santacon is when a large number of people go out to party celebrate dressed for the season. Sometimes it can be a bit offbeat to say the least.
Somehow I don't think that I will be taking my kids to this Santa. How to give the little ones nightmares!
Another Santa not to take the kids to! They claim this is linked to a Christmas "speedo run". Yes, nothing says Christmas like running in a speedo.
Some people will dress up anything for the season. Somehow
