Wacky Co-workers!

Co-worker ate the cheese off the pizza box at a company meeting. Co-worker talks openly about flatulence. Co-worker in the cubicle next to me wears 3-D glasses with the lenses removed. Co-worker repeatedly bangs a mallet on the table for no apparent reason. Co-worker whistles eight hours a day.

Those are the top weird quirks of co-workers according to a survey by CareerBuilders.com. These really are not that weird to me. Tell me about your weird and bizarre co-worker at debbie@wlxr.com!!

Idol-icious......

In my opinion, America got it right last night by sending Paige home, but what an exit for her...she really belted out her final song..with no opportunity to be saved as Simon told her that before she even had a chance to sing...that was poor. Now those that are left, the top 10, will go on tour this summer. Usher will be the guest mentor next week, so I am looking forward to that!!

Octomom and PETA?!

Octomom', Nadya Suleman will lend her lawn to PETA in exchange for cash and food! She is allowing them to post this sign encouraging responsible pet ownership!

The worlds Super Bug!

Ewww, these guys are just gross...but man are they strong! The Horned Dung Beetle takes the title for the worlds strongest! This beast can pull 1141 times its own body weight - and that's alot of dung! In comparison it's like a 150 person lifting 6 full double-decker busses....check out more here!

Wacky Bathroom Gadgets!

These are Wacky Cool....how about a tanning shower?? Or maybe a faucet that recognizes you and the temperature you prefer and a TV Screen in your mirror!!

An app with a toilet flushing sound...30, 60 or 90 seconds worth to spare you embarassment at public toilets...and you conserve water cuz you're really not flushing to mask your noises - what next??

A Chili Grenade to fight terrorism?

At first I thought, "Yea right!" but after reading how potent this stuff it....it just might work!! Here is an example of how HOT it really is...it has more than 1,000.000 Scoville Units, the scientific measurement of chilis spiciness. Classic Tabasco Sauce ranges from 2500 to 5000 Scoville Units while jalepeno peppers measure anywhere from 2500 to 8000 - now that's HOT! They say it will be an effective, non-toxic weapon because its pungent smell can choke terrists!! Read more here!

False expectations take away joy."

An NFL Team saved his life!

Yea, he is a fan of that Wisconsin team from Green Bay!! He and wife have 11 kids and the only way he could afford his season tickets was to sell his blood, so he did.

By that time, he had sold 145 pints and if he hadn't, he may have died young!! "Go Pack Go"!
