A sick and despicable scam has been exposed, suggesting that there is a group of privileged 1 percenters who have been hiring disabled tour guides so that their children can cut the often huge queues at Disney World.
According to the exposé, the “black-market Disney guides” cost $130 an hour or $1040 for an 8-hour day. Disney World allows up to 6 guests with a disabled person using a motorized scooter or wheelchair to cut the queue and use a “more convenient entrance”. Continue Reading
It seems that the clandestine Church of Scientology are much more adept at the art of brainwashing than they are at using Photoshop, as a poorly edited image of an event to open a new facility in Portland has been bounced all over the internet.
The Scientologists claim that the crowd who attended the grand opening was somewhere in the region of 2,500 and released this photograph to support the idea that it was a grandiose affair attended by thousands. Independent estimates however, put the number of attendees much lower, approximately somewhere between 450 and 750. Continue Reading

The gigantic, jetsetting art installation, Rubber Duck that was supposed to float happily about on the water of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor until the 9th June making people laugh and smile has hit a bit of snag and ended up deflated and looking like a flat, squished, yellow mess!
The 16.5 meter, oversized bathtoy was created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. It debuted in Hong Kong at the beginning of May to a great reception. But it wasn’t plane sailing for the popular rubber ducky as on Wednesday as it mysteriously ended up deflated. An emergency rubber duck crisis meeting was held and they did not immediately respond to the public’s questions about whether the deflation was a planned one or not. Continue Reading
Check out this brilliant video that features two brave dudes taking on a labor-pain simulator to experience what childbirth is actually like!
The two dudes go into the experiment rather cocky, boasting that they’ve been told how childbirth is supposed to be excruciated, however they aren’t too convinced, because “according to men, women exaggerate everything!”Continue Reading
There are a lot of potentially bad things that can happen to us on airplanes, aside from the worry that the huge flying machine is going to suddenly stop working and fall out of the sky, there is a huge number of much more likely woeful things that could happen to us.
Are you going to get stuck next to the wailing baby that won’t stop crying through the entire flight?

When Steven Withey from witheytechnologies.co.uk was helping his granddad Derek sort out his computer, they discovered an old photograph of the 87-year-old from his days in the Royal Navy submarines during World War II. The crumpled photograph had been emailed from a relative and wasn’t the best quality.
Being the IT go-to guy in the family, Steven, from the UK, forwarded the photograph to himself and set about trying to restore it to somewhere near its original quality. However, because he had no Photoshop or general editing experience, Steven had to seek help elsewhere and after posting the image on Reddit, he received an overwhelmingly positive response.

Most parents (and normal people) hate hearing children crying. It’s horrible to hear a little one bellowing and usually you’d do whatever you could to comfort the child and stop it crying. Well, unless you were taking part in the annual Naki Sumo – crying baby contest in Japan where Sumo wrestlers and high priests encourage babies to ball their eyes out! The contest, which signifies the high point of spring, is held at the Sensoji Temple.
The contest is over 400 years old and is based on the idea that a long cry has health benefits for the babies and is thought to ward off evil spirits. But it is definitely not to be attended if you’ve ingested the other kind of spirit and have a stinky hangover! Continue Reading
