After 250,000 miles (400,000 km), most cars are on the brink of death.

Irv Gordon has passed this limit ten times over:
Irv has clocked 2,600,000 miles on his 1966 Volvo 1800S.

This is the equivalent of driving to the Moon . . . ten times.

In the 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen cut the head off of “Mike” the chicken. However, Olsen managed to strike the chicken at the base of the head – mostly decapitating it – but leaving part of the bird’s brain in tact. Remarkably, the headless chicken still walked about, made pecking motions, flapped its wings, and survived for 18 months (Olsen fed it with an eyedropper into its “neckhole”). Olsen toured the country with “Headless Mike” and they even made an appearance in Life Magazine. The town of Fruita, Colorado (Mike’s hometown) now proudly displays a headless chicken statue in his honor.

Last week the town of Cuero, Texas got yet another “Chupacabra” visitation (Scientific American link):

Last year, Cuero resident Phylis Canion found a dead “Chupacabra” on her property [below left] – DNA testing of this specimen at UC Davis identified the maternal DNA of a Coyote (Canis latrans) and the paternal DNA of a Mexican Grey Wolf (Canis lupus baieyi), but the grey hairless appearance of the creature cannot be easily explained by either lineage (KVUE News link).

Blogadilla Mutant Research Facility Results:
The above two examples of “Chupacabra” look remarkably like a native Mexican breed of dog known as the Xoloitzcuintli (sho-lo-eetz-kwin-tlee) [above right]. This Precolombian Mesoamerican breed (known by the Aztecs and ancient Maya) is medium sized, most often hairless, and with skin ranging from pink to blue-grey to black. This breed still exists in northern Mexico and the American Southwest.

A feral population around the town of Cuero, Texas could have easily interbred with other wild canids – such as Coyotes and Mexican Grey Wolves – to produce these ugly Xoloitzcuintli mixes. The short front legs of the top example can be explained by any number of natural processes such as inbreeding, hybridization, natural variation, or poor interpretation of the video footage.

A nearly six-foot-long Black Headed Python appeared in the toilet of a 10th floor apartment in Darwin, Australia.

The likeliest explanation: it is a pet that escaped through sewer pipes.

The second likeliest explanation: someone pooped a python.

The wedding photographer went rogue and did unrequested art experiments on my wedding photos: he made all of the photos glowing white and blue. Everything looked sickly and bright, like our wedding took place near aboveground nuclear testing.

Trying to be polite, I requested several reprints that captured the actual colors of the event and that didn’t look like we were arc welding. I also requested a disc of all of the raw digital photos, in the event he decided to f*% up the reprints as well.

Weeks later I get the disc and only about half the photos are on it. And the disc contained extra photos: The last 60 photos on the disc were of a young woman. Naked. And she was not at the wedding. And the photographer was in some of these photos, too. He was also naked. And in several of the photos, his *&^%$ was in her *@#$%.

And though the marriage ended in sorrow and I don’t care what color the photos are anymore, this is still a good story and it needed to be posted for the sake of posterity.

These are actual photos (edited).

With one exception: albino porn.
It is the unicorn of the pornographic world.

If you do a Google search for “albino porn,” you’ll find nearly 16,000 results. And they are all the same: bulletin boards with people saying, “Wow! I can’t find albino porn anywhere! It doesn’t exist!”

For the record: it does exist though I have no idea exactly where it came from. That is, on a bulletin board discussing this very subject, someone posted links [NSFW] to photos [NSFW] of what appears to be the same (albino) woman doing various interesting acts. And yes, she appears to actually be albino, versus really pale.
(Admit it, at least part of you wants to check out the links [NSFW]).

Wow.
It does exist.
Barely.

Here’s a Blogadilla challenge to someone out there:
If you happen to be albino and want to make a pioneering move for the internet and for albinos everywhere, send us naked photos of yourself (nothing too gross) and we will host (a work-safe link to) these images.

If you are this person, consider these three good reasons:
1). To stop 16,000 people from saying “Oh man, it doesn’t exist.”

2). To demystify albinism in an effective way: to spread (no pun intended) the message that albinos are just like everyone else, except less tan. . . . and with the power of flight and the ability to communicate with the dead.

3). To have the claim that you are perhaps one of only two albino erotic models on the entire internet.

[Side Note: Though albino pornstars barely exist, there are albino fashion models: the lovely Chinese fashion model Connie Chiu]

In Japan, there are vending machines that sell underwear. Schoolgirls’ underwear. Previously worn and unwashed schoolgirls’ underwear.
Yes – an entire industry of trading-in the day’s underwear for a new pair. And underwear sold with a photo of the underwearer can fetch a higher price. The almighty Snopes has a nice article on this subject, which they report to be true.

Japan is apparently blanketed with bazillions of vending machines, and many of them cater to a widespread fetish culture known as “Buru-sera” [SFW Wikipedia link] (a corruption of the English terms “bloomers” =buru and “sailor” = sera). And as you may have guessed, Buru-sera is the attitude that adult women are sexy when they dress and behave like retarded 13-year-old girls: often clad in schoolgirl “sailor” uniforms, speaking in a high register like a child, and behaving like a dip. Apparently one of the finer trophies of this subculture is an actual pair of schoolgirl’s underpants.

According to Snopes, prior to 1993, little legal recourse existed to prevent these machines from vending their Untidy Hello Kitties – there were/are no Japanese laws specifically regarding the sale of used underwear. However, in 1993, the Antique Dealings Law was cleverly employed in preventing such sales: the sale of second-hand items must be approved by local authorities. Despite legal action against such vending machines, readers of Snopes have reported that they continue to exist in Japan.

If it were profitable, I would consider starting a business where I sell my own worn underwear on eBay, and I would even sell them with a photo of me sitting on a couch in my underwear, eating Cheetos, watching Kung Fu movies, and scratching myself.

Here are some good reasons for doing this:
•Money
•It would cut down on laundry expenses.
•Less dirty laundry in the laundry hamper (a.k.a. – “the floor”).
•I get to wear a brand-new pair of underwear every day. Mmmm, fresh!

Here are some good reasons for not doing this:
•It’s creepy
•The high potential for wackos and derranged stalkers (the only people who would buy such an item).

PhotoMann’s Gallery of Japanese Vending Machines may have one of the few internet images of a Japanese used underpants vending machine. *NOTE: If anyone can read Japanese, I would love to know if the machine in the above photo is indeed selling used underpants, or just the traditional non-used variety.
