OSCAR THE DEATH CAT

OSCAR THE DEATH CAT

You know what’s worst than dying? A cat telling you that you’re dying, that’s what.

According to reports from The Sun, a cat named Oscar in New England has predicted the deaths of more than 50 patients at a nursing home! Looks like someone is giving the Grim Reaper a run for his money here.

When Oscar believes a patient is about to die, it sits next to the patient, who then passes away within 24 hours. Before a patient goes, his or her family is called to say their last goodbyes and a priest is called to give the last rites.

Before you look at Oscar and go, “OMG! You people killer!”, Dr. David Dosa, who works at the nursing home, believes Oscar’s ability has something to do with his heightened sense of smell. Dr. David explains that “as cells die, carbohydrates are degraded to many different oxygenated compounds including chemical mixtures with a fragrant aroma”, therefore Oscar’s heightened senses could have something to do with his eerie predictions.

NEW ZEALAND’S BRA FENCE

NEW ZEALAND’S BRA FENCE

Today we’re feeling like the History Channel (and like making Quagmire’s dreams come true). If you have a fetish for bras, this is one place you should check out: the Cardrona Bra Fence of Central Otago, New Zealand.

New Zealand's bra fence

Like its name suggests, the Cardrona Bra Fence is a fence which is covered in bras (duh!). The fence got its first bras some time between Christmas and New Year 1999, when four women’s bras were found attached to the wire fence alongside the road. News about the mysterious appearance of the bras began to spread and by the end of February 2000, there were some 60 bras on the fence.

Of course, not everyone was happy with the fence. While some locals welcomed the fence, others viewed it as an eyesore and embarrassment, and also as a potential hazard to drivers. A party pooper tried clearing the fence, which by October 2000 was covered with 200 bras. By that time, the fence had become a tourist attraction and the media gave the story of the second wave a much bigger headline, which ultimately resulted in even more inflow of garments.

Before the fence was finally removed in April 2006 after the local council decided that the bra fence was a “traffic hazard”, it has amassed a total of 7,400 bras. Do you know what that means? At one point of time, 7,400 ladies were walking around without a bra on!

MURDER MYSTERY ON FOUR SQUARE

MURDER MYSTERY ON FOUR SQUARE

VIDEO: Mystery. Murder. Adultery. Revenge. Twitter. Facebook. Tumblr. Craigslist. WTF?

One of the FHM staff-ers is a big fan of the film genre called “noir”. You might have seen it before: it’s black-and-white, gritty and usually involves crime, women and jazz music. The guys at Indie Machines did a short noir film called Hard Boiled, and it’s based on the world of social network sites. It’s actually really good. After all, you can’t watch lolcat videos all the time, right?

“I guess I’m the only cop who knows how Foursquare works.”

FANCY A GOLD IPHONE?

FANCY A GOLD IPHONE?

There are two types of people in the world: those who have money, and those who have too darn much. If you are classified under the latter (lucky bastard!), perhaps a 24 carat gold iPhone 4 will tickle your fancy?

Fancy a gold iPhone?

Created by one of the most profound names in the world of luxury gadgetry Stuart Hughes, the pure gold iPhone 4 is made of various precious metals including silver, copper, palladium, zinc and maybe, just maybe, a sprinkle of fairy dust. It comes in a 64GB configuration and is factory unlocked for worldwide use. And as a bonus, Mr. Stuart has decided to throw in an equally ridiculous iPhone wallet made out of real Ostrich foot that can also store up to four credit cards in case, you know, having a gold iPhone is not flashy enough.

The price tag? A tad over RM105,000.

HELL ON EARTH – IN PICTURES!

HELL ON EARTH – IN PICTURES!

Oh? You thought “hell on earth” was just an expression? What we are about to show you will make you change your mind faster than the Devil could say, “Hell is just a sauna!” Thanks to Cracked, here are some photographic evidence that proves that hell. Does. Exist.

Hell on Earth - in pictures!

It looks like a scene from Mordor, but boy oh boy, it’s not! This photo is an undoctored picture of a fire at a chemical factory in the Netherlands that took more than 150 firefighters to put out the flames. The factory turned into ash but thankfully, nobody was hurt.
