The end of the world might not be nigh, but the end of the year is, which means it’s time once again for our annual look back at some of the most outrageous examples of new technology to have crossed our desk during 2012. So be as naughty or nice as you like, because even the most eloquent of letters written to Santa Claus won’t elicit a response if any of these items appear in the fine print. . . . Read Complete List

The Voynich manuscript is the most mysterious of all texts. It is seven by ten inches in size, and about 200 pages long. It is made of soft, light-brown vellum. It is written in a flowing cursive script in alphabet that has never been seen elsewhere. Nobody knows what it means. During World War II some of the top military code-breakers in America tried to decipher it, but failed.

Sounds like a headline from Weekly World News or The National Inquirer, Right? Well this actually comes from NBC News.
For those of you old enough, remember when inquired about someones location, the old wise-ass answer was always,“He went to S**T and the hogs ate him”
Well, with respect to farmer Gardner – T believe I am not disrespecting the dead when I say here is a true story that seems to have transpired along the same lines, except for the differing choresthey were engaged in at the time of the incident, the two met with the same disgusting fate, Sorry guys, no video this time. . . .EDITOR

On Wednesday morning, Terry V. Garner, a 70-year-old Oregon farmer, went to feed his animals. Several hours later, when he hadn’t returned, a family member went to look for him and found, on the ground of the hog enclosure, his dentures.
Further investigation of the enclosure by the family member revealed that the hogs, which each weighed about 700 pounds, had nearly completely eaten the farmer, although some body parts were strewn about the enclosure. . . . Read Complete Report
