David Hasselhoff was a big star in the ’80s with Knight Rider, well, at least KITT was a star and he got to drive it around.  Then he did some other projects that gained him some fame.  Supposedly he’s really famous in Germany as a singer.  But has it really come to this?  This new video from Australia is just bad…  And it’s one of those videos where you’re watching it and you’re wondering if this is really happening.  I mean, it just keeps getting worse and worse.  I imagine he’s making fun of himself and his past, but this is just bad.  And at one point you think the “story” may be redeeming itself a little bit, but then it falls apart, too.  I just don’t know why this happened…

Here’s the video

This website (click here) features a guy dressed in a chicken suit that will pretty much carry out any commands you give.  This page has been around for some time now, but if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check it out for some true randomness.

I recently came across an article from 2002 titled “Leading Causes of Mortality Throughout the World, 2002”  

First off I noticed the #1 cause of mortality was missing…  Death!

That however, is not the reason for the post…   It seems that 3.1% of the people that passed away in 2002 died of “Diarrheal Diseases”  Seriously!  You can’t just make this kind of stuff up!  (look here for the page) This got me to thinking…  Our culture has much too grim a view of death…And so in order to help counter this I am instituting the ‘name-your-fictional disease’ contest. 

If you ‘had to go’ what would be the method you’d prefer? 

I’m thinking I’d choose something along the lines of ‘Hilairia’ … it’s a bit like malaria… but you die laughing…

I was online recently and came across some articles about ‘worst case scenarios’.

These are articles written with the purpose of helping readers survive a tragedy should they be faced with one.  I understand that there are also books on this topic as well.

I want to mention 2 articles that I found to be ‘particularly’ helpful, and pass on the sage words of wisdom found here.

In the article “How to survive a volcanic eruption” (click here)  they recommend ‘staying away from the Lava”. 

In the other article “How to navigate a minefield” (click here).  They state that “Fields with large quantities of mutilated ani-mals may indicate a minefield.”

I thought the public should be aware of this potentially life saving advice. 

Now… I want to open this post up to our loyal readers.  Do you have some potentially ‘life-saving’ advice that you’d like to share?  Post it here!  The welfare of others could be at stake.
