Space Geek Alert!

I'm so psyched! Perseid meteor showers are well underway and are expected to peak right around Thursday August 12th. So make plans to run outside Wednesday night/Thursday morning and scan the heavens above. Somewhere around 2am or so, you may be lucky enough to wish on > 60 shooting stars per hour. If you've never done it before, or think it's stupid, you're actually missing something neat. Just hope it doesn't rain...

Man Trips Over Woman; Becomes Family Feast

Wow. Benjie Ganoy of Palawan, Philippines, accidentally tripped over a woman at a dance party the other night. Got her daddy really mad. So daddy and his strapping young boys kidnapped Benjie, stabbed him to death, roasted him over a fire, and then ate his ears, tongues, and arms.
Police said there was no tradition of cannibalism in the area.

Not until NOW, that is.

Icky Story of the Day

Nicola Constantino's gross. First, she has liposuction. Yucky #1. Then she saves the fat. #2. THEN she decides to sculpt two statues of human females out of her fat. #3. And sell them for $250 a piece.

And finally, she uses the remaining blubber to make soaps, featured in her disgusting 'art' display entitled Take a Shower with Me.

Nicola says: "I know it is disgusting but I am also aware that those soaps have something that wakes up people's sexuality and eroticism. It is an invitation to put our bodies in contact."

Not on your life, Nicola, not on your big fat sweaty yucky life.
