Auction Charity for Dentures

Seller Asks for Denture Charity

The listing on ebay reads "In Need of Dentures - Need to Get Dentures for Health Reasons". The person who made the listing, has some rotten teeth apparently, and needs some dentures. I guess he's a little short, because in the listing he states "I have tried to sell what I can to raise the money but I am still $3,700 short". So in exchange for somebody bidding on his "charity", he will send them a cardboard box with "miscellaneous items". I'd be afraid to open the box! Who knows what you might get with a seller like this! Wutha!
Asking Price: $3,800

Wife Catches Husband Cheating On Google

Man Caught When Wife Uses Google Street View

A woman in London had a feeling that her husband was cheating on her, but couldn't prove it. She also had an idea of who the woman was that her husband might be cheating with. So using Street View, a service introduced by Google which allows people to see addresses in photo form, the woman searched for the address of her husband's mistress. Sure enough, in the photo's on Google Street View, she was able to identify her husband's vehicle, parked right outside the woman's home. The vehicle had very distinct rims on it, which proved that it was indeed her husband's vehicle. Believe it or not, the story has been proven as true!

School Accused of Cage Fights

Dallas School in Hot Water Over Accusations

Ok what you are about to read sounds like something out of a Gladiator movie! A high school in Dallas, Texas has received allegations that students were placed into a steel cage to fight each other, under the supervision of school staff. The former Principal at South Oak Cliff High School has been accused by several students and parents of having organized staged fights between students who had disputes, by telling his security staff to "put them in the cage and let them settle it". The school's Superintendent has been quoted as saying "there were some things that happened inside of a cage". There is an investigation under way, but no criminal charges have been filed and there are no reports of any students requiring medical attention. The story came to light during another investigation, in which school employees were suspected of changing grades for students so they could continue to play sports for the school. Woah! I thought my High School was bad!

World's Deadliest Spider Found in Grocery Store

Brazilian Wandering Spider Discovered in Produce Section

The deadliest spider known to man was found in the produce section at a grocery store in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Brazilian Wandering Spider was found with bananas in a Whole Foods Store by an employee who captured the spider in a container. The bananas came from a supplier in Honduras. The Brazilian Wandering Spider kills more humans each year than any other spider. The spider was given to the director of the Animal Facilities at the University of Tulsa. 1 bite from one of these things can kill a person in as little as 25 minutes! Produce is checked by grocery stores before they sell it to customers for this very reason. Spiders are often found, but this type is uncommon in USA. Wow, I'm glad I don't have that job! Creepy!

Florida Man Tattoos Arm For Companies

Arm Up For Sale

A person in Kissimmee, Florida has placed an ebay listing to be a "walking talking advertisement". For $6,000, the man will tattoo the logo of any company on his arm, from elbow to wrist. He says that he will wear the tattoo on his arm for 5 years, which would be stipulated in a contract. I guess he knows a good surgeon to remove it when the time comes or a good tattoo artist to cover it up. Wow, I knew the economy was bad but this is really a sign of the times! Wutha!

Postcard Delivered 47 Years Later

Postcard Took 47 years to Reach Destination

I worked for the USPS myself, so I can say from experience that letters sometimes get lost, but what about the ones which are lost 47 years and then reappear again at their destination? This is exactly what happened to a postcard sent from Helena, Montana to Hudson, Ohio. The original sender had sent it in 1962 to a person who rented a p.o. box. The person who the postcard was originally intended for passed away in 1988, and the new renter of the p.o. box found it recently when they checked their daily mail. The sender of the postcard died as well, in 1998. A USPS spokesperson said that the postcard was probably lost behind a mail chute, then found and placed back into a stream of mail to be delivered, either that or it was stuck in a machine for 47 years.

Rodent Earrings Sold on Ebay

Earrings Made from "Rodent" Feet

This is just sick, get a load of this! Some freak, for whatever crazy reason they had, decided to make earrings out of some sort of rodent's feet. This is low even for ebay's standards! It's a mystery of where the feet came from or how they were "extracted" from the animal, but this is definately one of the most disgusting things I've come across on the net.
