3. Super Glue dries extremely quickly, in a matter of several seconds.


I'm betting this was self-inflicted in the half-baked hopes of some lawsuit payoff.
I've seen this type of stunt reported in the news several times over many years.

What was even worse, for me personally, was the day she was in labour and every time I walked past the TV that has Sky News on continously throughout the day to the headline BREAKING NEWS: Kate Middleton in Labour, which was tagged with 'Royal baby has yet to be born' or something to a similar effect.

Great, so every couple of hours Sky News is reminding me that her baby hasn't been born? Well, hold the ****ing presses.
Ugh, that must've been so annoying! The hype over here in Oz was unbelievable, I can't even begin to imagine how tiring it would be hearing about it constantly in the UK! Yipes!

Having said that though, I have a total ladycrush on Kate Middleton.

Mojo 07-30-2013 01:43 AM
My mate once told me that someone he knows used to go out with/once hooked up with Kate Middleton. It may sound like an outrageous lie but this story was first told merely days after they met and she found herself the focus of the media. She also does have family from up this way, so although I can't be sure it is true it is far more probable than it may first appear to be.

Anyway, after hearing his stories I can't quite look at her royal status the same way :laughing:

:laughing: That's so funny! And I also think it's pretty believable, wasn't she pretty wild in her university days? I remember she did like a college fashion show in a see-through dress...

Moderator cut: image removed

Anyway, regardless of the hype and ridiculousness of it all, I like her! Despite stealing my dream of marrying one of the princes... :p:

Mojo 07-30-2013 01:57 AM
I don't really know if she was ever "wild" or not, and even if this lads stories are true it doesn't necessarily make her wild. He may claim they were an item, I'm not sure, and if they were he's basically just telling anyone who will listen the details of their sex life cause he wants people to know he ****ed a dutchess.

And he spared no details.

I posted a story similar to this but that one was fake it turned out but this one is sooooo real!

Quote:
ST. LOUIS — An Illinois businessman outraged by a court order that he return more than $500,000 in insurance money related to a 2001 wreck that killed his teenage son wanted to pay the money back in pennies in protest. But he soon recognized that was unfeasible.

So, Roger Herrin settled on quarters — four tons of them.

Packed in 150 transparent sacks each weighing about 50 pounds, the $150,000 in coins were nearly one-third of the money an appellate court required Herrin to pay back to resolve years-long legal feuding among the crash's survivors over how $800,000 in insurance proceeds were apportioned.

Giant Fatberg Found Under London Has Surprising Use

That is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever read.

You kidding me, it's a scientific fact that if a person eats Popeye's more than once a week their heart explodes.

Defying the laws of physics is a pretty good superpower. Not being able to document it actually happening makes it a pretty good story.
Although I did see what you did there.

Maria Sugarpova? Tennis Star Considered Changing Name To Promote Candy

What a dick. She has since confirmed she won't be doing this but gave it "serious consideration" to change her name, so that she would have to be announced by it (which is the name of her confectionary company) to get free promotion at the US Open.

I'm pretty sure the media does nothing but instill irrational fears into the average person.

I'm pretty sure if you cloned Lennon, and he lived in this day and age... he would end up like one of those guys sitting outside the pub bumming off people.

Would he still be married to Yoko? Then he'd either be a twenty something having to bang a fossil, or he'd have to look like a douche and divorce her.

Maybe everyone is experiencing some major constipation and can't be arsed to get some normal laxatives.

My boyfriend said the same thing! I think this is something that is regularly done in Southern Europe. They certainly love bread and cooking oils so why not put them together? Haha.
