Vampire Wedding, Werewolf Witness

Useless without pix, I know. I hate when these articles pop up without images of which to properly make fun. More vampire fans getting married in England.
I don't know a single vampire who has ever expressed an interest in a human themed wedding.

Real life corpse bride

A very thoughtful father in China found his dead son a nice dead girl to share eternity with him.

Read the gruesome deatils here.

Isn't that nice?

Juan Cabana strikes again!

I must be losing a step. I had to find this floating around on Betty Bones' blog through my sister, DeMonica. I've posted finds about this guy, Juan Cabana before. Early on I didn't realize he's an artist, but now I really admire what he does. He's moved on from hoaxes, and is creating taxidermy creatures that never existed… at least as far as YOU know.

Juan Cabana Creatures on environmentalgraffiti.com

Here's his art at the original site that featured the hoax art.

This is one of Ira / Miguel's works of art: A mummified demon bat.

Art that desrves burial

I would never sleep in this casket.

Oh, please. Art caskets? This is like those race car beds. They look cheesy because they ARE cheesy. No one wants to sleep in a gaudy casket, do they?

16 cockroaches for lunch

Sean Murphy is going to need a breath mint. He broke the world record for… wait, just so you know - there's a world record for this because so many people have so few talents they rely on idiotic stunts like putting cockroaches in their mouth to "accomplish" something… putting 16 cockroaches in his mouth at one time.

Yes, indeedy. He put 16 cockroaches in his mouth.

Meat eating vegetation

Okay, so, we've got meat-eating people, plant-eating people (vegetarians, vegans, etc.), plant-eating animals (herbivores) meat-eating animals (carnivores), buffet-eating people (omnivores) people-eating monsters, a few plant-eating monsters, insect-eating plants (Venus flytrap), insect-eating people (Renfield) and now the amoeba shape is complete:

Meat-eating plants!

Hooray for evolution!

Rats! It's what's for dinner ;)

Urn a living

Yucky urn head for your beloved's ashes.

A very dear pet of mine recently passed, and I've been looking for methods of ash saving or scattering. I stumbled on this gem:

Ashes urn shaped like a human head.

For the record, I won't be putting a cat's ashes in a ceramic head.
Good grievous.

Worm of death

The Mongolian Death Worm

The Mongolian Death Worm doth exist. This I know to be true. The mystery of this cryptoid be thine only for your lack of belief. From whence it came be the only necessary mystery. Knoweth this, oh surface dweller: The Mongolian Death Worm means to spit acid in those eyes of thine.

Enjoy. Clickula.

Was the Sarlacc of the Great Pit of Carkoon in the Dune Sea of Tattooine inspired by this creature? Only George Lucas knows for sure. Was Jabba the Hutt from Mongolia?

Sewer monster

Supposedly, this has been confirmed as "not a hoax," so enjoy guessing what the heck this is. There's some crazy sewer monster slithering around in the sewers of North Carolina. Reminds me of Hedorah the Smog Monster from Godzilla.

WARNING: The video in this link is nasty. It might be more than some can handle. A bit gooey, and gross.

Ugly is as ugly barks

Miss Ellie, the ugliest dog winner. How proud her owner must be.

I recently was alerted to this gem at Daily Mail. I'm pleased to see mediocrity is never rewarded. In order to receive any recognition in the world, one must be either the best or the worst at something. That includes being the worst at being cute… or is it simply the best at being ugly.

I bet those judges are a bunch of butter bodies with butter faces.

Poor Miss Ellie looks so proud, but I've seen uglier.

Clicky.

Thanks go to my friend, Betty Bones for finding this.

What the Shrek?

I don’t understand a word of it, but it looks like a couple of ogres got married…

Go ahead and click. Blechk!

[added later] Someone sent me a translation.

Long Island paper picks up the monster

Long Island’s Newsday is finally getting in on the Montauk Monster action. This time, at least, there’s some more info than just an image, and random speculation.

See the Newsday article.

Go directly to montaukmonster.com

And, finally: Newsday’s interesting piece, 4o Creatures that may or may not Exist.

…and yet again

Main stream media picked up the Montauk Monster again. This time MSNBC is reporting on blog reporting. Amusing, but still sad for the poor expired creature.

Mummy Kitty

The pic may be too graphic for some cat lovers, so I chose not to post it, but it’s a very interesting article linked here.
I never heard of this before, but apparently in old England cats were put into building walls as a sort of good luck charm to ward off evil. Sounds a bit twisted, if you ask me. Heck, it sounds a bit twisted even if you don’t ask me. What the freak was wrong with those wackos in historic times?

Mysterious mystery

Here’s a really cool picture of a mysterious creature that comes from this linked article with not very much information.

A tree grows in Brook-lung

A tree. In a man’s lung. For reals!
Before clicking on this link, please be sure you want to see this. Imagine a seed germinating in the soft tissue inside your body. Roots, well, take root; feeding a sapling with moisture from your own lungs. Pine needles develop, and soon you have a TREE inside you!
We’ve all heard the old adage, “Don’t swallow watermelon seeds if you don’t want to grow a watermelon patch in your belly.” Now, we have evidence that it might be based on some kind of miracle-weirdness half-truth!

Cold, dead, stupid

This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Air-conditioned coffins?
Clicky.

Then again, while you may never experience the benefit of sleeping in an air-conditioned coffin because, well, you’d be dead; I may have a use for one of these.

Here lies So-and-so. At least he’s comfortable.

Barry, the sea worm

Want to see something gross? Click this link. Eeeeeeeeeyyyyyeeeeeeew, AOL. Someone sent me this AOL article. AOL is gross, isn’t it? Oh, I guess this worm is too. Something about Barry terrorizing other aquatic life at a British aquarium.

Spider bite man follow-up

What a jerk! Maybe he was in the right condition in the first place. The spider made a mistake by giving him his legs back. The man who lost his ability to walk, and had it returned after a spider bite has been arrested for domestic violence! JERKWAD!!!

Spider man walks again

The Brown Recluse Spider is the most gorgeous creature that ever walked the planet.

If you ever needed evidence that spiders are good, look no further.

Though the article doesn’t say much about the science of it, it’s an interesting… well, at the very least, an interesting coincidence.

A Paraplegic man was bitten by a Brown Recluse, and now he walks again. Methinks perhaps they should look into the beneficial qualities of its venom!
