Thailand's Bloody Protest

Tensions have been growing in Thailand lately, after a week-long slew of marches and demonstrations to call for new elections as people grow increasingly fed up with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejajjiva's corrupt and dirty rule.
Today those tensions came to a head, as protesters collected what they claim as nearly 80 gallons of blood from activists, and hurled them at Abhisit's house and other governmental offices.
There is very little talk of any of the protests being met with violence yet, though with the amount of publicity and global coverage that has been following this event since protesters first announced the desire to throw blood everywhere, that is to be expected. 
Crackdowns will probably come later.
I have to say, this sends a pretty intense message, even if the government was prepared and cleaned the blood up within minutes. Certainly nobody can doubt the resolve of Thailand's popular opposition now.

Swedens Dangerous Cake Theives

The Pastry Chefs and Confectionery Masters of Sweden are trembling over the antics of the 'Black Cobra Gang,' a hard-as-nails band of criminals who, on the 12th of March, stole as many as 120 cakes from a delivery truck.
Hopefully they can find the culprits and bring them to custardy. I mean, theft is no trifling matter. What kind of a monster would steal so many cookies?
Actually, far better then any pun I could think or have heard is the quotes from the actual police, who had this to say:
"We have conducted raids at a number of addresses and have confiscated cakes," police spokesperson Charley Nilsson told local newspaper Helsingborgs Dagblad. 
Ah, Sweden.

Womans attempts to become worlds fattest; pays for food by eating via webcam

The headline pretty much says it all.
Donna Simpson, from New Jersey, is actively trying to not only gain weight, but become the fattest person in the world.
According to the Daily Mail, she already holds the 'title' of worlds fattest mother, having given birth while weighing over 531 pounds.
I can't help but feel a bit sorry for the kid, if these are the sorts of dreams her mother aspires to.
Simpson told the Daily Mail:
"I'd love to be 1000lb ... it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down," 
She plans to reach 1000 pounds in two years. Nothing in the article, nor anything Ms. Simpson was quoted as saying, seems to indicate she's worried she might die in the attempt. Or shortly after.
The best part of the article, however, comes near the end, when you learn how Simpson pays her nearly thousand dollar weekly grocery bill. She runs a website where people watch her eating food.
I'm not making this up- here's the quote:
Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.  
I guess I forgot the first rule of the internet- there is a fetish for everything.
When I consider some of the other things I have seen, this doesn't even sound that weird.

The Woman with Two Vaginas- Blanche Dumas (NSFW)

In 1885, on the french colonial island of Martinique, documentarians of the odd and bizarre found Blanche Dumas- a 25-year old woman with three legs, two of which of were only partially useful and one that was completely useless, two vaginas, and a monstrous sex appetite. Already known on the island for entertaining multiple lovers simultaneous, she eventually moved to Paris and became a high-class courtesan.
What exactly occurred to her in utero to produce such a condition isn't certain, though if you look around the net you'll find some pretty accurate speculation, but beyond simply having duel vaginas, she also had two fully functioning bladders and according to some websites, two uteruses as well.
Which begs the question of what, exactly, occurred when she was on her period.
Note the nipples painted tackily on what appear to be stumps of ungrown legs on her lower left thigh. I guess that's the circus for yeah.
Probably the most enduring part of Blanche's legacy is her rumored affair with the man with two penises, Juan Baptista Dos Santos. Though there is no hard evidence that such an event took place, Blanche reportedly expressed an desire to have sex with him upon learning of his existence, and both were in Paris at the same time.
I mean, really, if you were either of them, how could you not?
I will say this, however: I do not look at that picture and have even the remotest desire to sleep with her. Perhaps I'm alone among male kind in that regard...but I really hope not.
Still, I can quite easily picture her on her back, two fully-clothed Victorian men pumping away, high-fiveing each other and shouting 'Good show, old boy.'
Shudder.
