If You Hate Phil Fulmer In Tennessee

May 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Don’t be surprised if you get arrested.

The county officer who made the arrest said the sign “was visible to anyone passing by regardless of their age.”

It was not clear whether the sign referred to a neighbor or to the Tennessee football coach.

If You Want To Live With 750,000 Other People In One Building

May 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Tokyo is the place to be.

Called the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid, it would stand a kilometer tall and provide housing for up to 750,000 people. Even more amazing, the entire construction process may proceed without the work of a single human builder. With the invention of new super-lightweight materials, humanoid robots and self-assembling structures, the pyramid might be the first city in the world to build itself!

This guy can show you how its done.

The pensioner apparently became angered after the 36-year-old Italian man, who was sitting at the same table, spilled beer on him after slapping down his own massive mug on Sunday night. The pensioner responded by aggressively grabbing the tourist by his jacket and cracking him on the head with his Hofbräuhaus glass, local police reported on Monday.

If You Display Elk At A Swedish Zoo

Make sure they make it through the week.

The incident took place after one of the elk became stressed for an unknown reason and began to run around wildly. Zoologist Clas Sandberg called the episode a case of “extremely bad luck” and maintains that there aren’t any shortcomings at Virum Elk Park which affected the chain of events.

If You Want To See A Giant Pinocchio Statue

May 7, 2008 · 2 Comments

Go to Sweden.

“The Pinocchio is a metaphor for art,” said Dine to the TT news agency.

Several years ago, Dine was asked by town officials to create a piece of artwork for the city, and came up with the idea for the Pinocchio statue. According to local politicians, Dine has a special interest in the Pinocchio story and in the Swedish town which will soon be home to his latest creation.

But the prospect of having a gigantic Pinocchio serving as a gateway to their city continues to divide Borås residents. In a vote taken last year to approve the statue, 40 councillors voted for the statue, while 28 voted against it, and opinion is still split as to whether the statue belongs in Borås.

According to TT, those critical of the work see it as an example of cultural imperialism and a blot on the city’s reputation. They complain that the town has nothing to do with the marionette made famous by the 1940 Disney film bearing his name.
