Congressman Barney Frank admitted yesterday on CNN that he’s consumed Marijuana. During an interview the retiring politician said he supports legalizing and taxing the sale of dope. Burnett followed up with a question to Frank if he’d ever experimented with drugs. His response: “I did have a brownie once. It made me sleepy.”

A novice bee keeper from Washington state began to notice strange and unusual behavior from bees around his home that sparked his curiosity.
The first sign that something wasn’t right was the surprise pile of dead bees on his door step when he returned home from a vacation. He blew them off with a leaf blower thinking nothing of it.
The next sign happened in the bee keeper’s shop. He noticed a few bees that were flying around a light in “jerky patterns” then dropping to the floor. The bee keeper heard of zombie bees before so he put some of the corpses in a Ziploc bag. Weeks later several pupae were in the bag thus confirming zombie bees.
Explanation
The zombie bees were first discovered in California some time in 2008 by John Hafernik, a biologist at San Francisco State University.
Bee zombies are the result of a parasitic fly (smaller than a fruit fly) that lands on the back of the honeybee to inject eggs into the bee’s abdomen. Affected bees are described to hang out around lights during the night and “lurch around erratically” before they die, which is why they’re called zombie bees.
The eggs hatch inside the bee, giving life to little maggots that eat the insides of the bee. After the host is fully consumed the maggots pupate or transform, developing an outer shell much like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, just different.
This apparently poses no threat to humans but wasps and other bees can be affected as well.

In Utah a mother took her twins to a rather popular deli for a meal. This is a story that emphasizes the phrase “you learn something everywhere you go” and in this story it’s potty training.
The photo imaged went viral immediately after it was taken off a cell phone by someone who was enjoying a meal at the Thanksgiving Point Deli in Utah. It’s a picture of a little girl going to the bathroom at the dinner table. She’s in potty training and the mother decided to take the lesson to lunch.
The photo was taken by a woman named Kimberly Decker. According to Decker she notice that the mother brought in her two young twin girls who were sitting on what looked like booster seats, a double take revealed it was child port-a-potties the twins were seated on.
Decker said one of the two twins that was going either number 1 or number two (that information is unknown) had taken her jumpsuit completely off.
The little girl was naked at the deli AND she was still eating her chicken nuggets! Decker snapped a picture with her cell phone. She thought this was crazy because she is a mother of three who just finished potty training her son.
This had to violate one or maybe a few rules of health code.
What do you think? Is it acceptable to take the potty training with you in public or is it something that’s better off left at home? Vote then discuss below..
On Monday September 10th an amateur astronomer from Wisconsin was observing Jupiter when he noticed a flash.
The flash was result of an impact from a space object crashing into Jupiter creating a fiery bang.
What’s interesting is that if Jupiter wouldn’t have had the properties that pulled that unidentified object in, could have it smashed into Earth or the Moon?
Imagine a chunk of the moon missing.
Here’s a video from the article on Space.com of the impact. At this time it’s unknown if the object was a meteor, comet or anything else.
This is the fourth impact on Jupiter. In 2009 an astronomer observed an area impacted the size of the Pacific Ocean.
*Fun Fact* If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 264 pounds on Jupiter.
A New Jersey woman has pleaded not guilty to reckless manslaughter in the case of a man who died after having his penis injected with silicone.
The woman police say gave the injection, Kasia Rivera, appeared Tuesday in a Newark courtroom.
The Essex County prosecutor’s office says 35-year-old Rivera gave 22-year-old Justin Street, who was seeking an enlargement, the injection in May.
Street died the next day. His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical examiner’s determination he died of a silicone embolism.
Prosecutors say Rivera had no training to perform the procedure. They believe Rivera may have conducted similar unauthorized procedures out of her East Orange apartment, but no one else has stepped forward.
She remains free on $75,000 bail.
The picture you see is of one young 14-year-old boy crawling out of a sewer after traveling more than a quarter mile submerged in the water. Sewer water.
He was pulled out in less than an hour. He traveled through four lanes of traffic.
Is this young man the first ever to discover…tube transport? If only his name was Mario.
CRESCENT CITY, Calif.—If it’s one thing we’ve all learned..it’s not to break into an MMA training gym…for obvious reasons.
The next lesson is not to give them drugs…or at least don’t do drugs with them they will rip your heart out! Literally!!
Former MMA fighter Jarrod Wyatt just recently pleaded guilty to a murder he commit back in 2010 that was so messed up it was almost mistaken for a fairy tale.
Wyatt and his friend Taylor Powell (they also were sparring partners) decided at some point that they wanted to be a couple of fun guys. They took shrooms.(fungi)
What could possibly go wrong when you give mind altering drugs to a monstrous fighting machine? Wyatt cut an 18 inch hole in Powell’s chest. Talk about a bad trip man. After that Wyatt ripped out his heart, tongue and his face.
My science teacher always told me if I didn’t stop talking in class he would rip my tongue out and slap me with it. I’m just happy my teacher wasn’t an MMA fighter.
Also this vaguely reminds me of Mortal Combat and the story about the chimp who ripped that one girls face off.
The police found Wyatt same day at the home naked and covered in blood (also a reoccurring theme when it comes to face ripping). He told officers that he had killed him (Powell) as the body was laid on the nearby couch with his chest cut open.
I guess to add some flavor to this post you should know Wyatt was also cooking his heart…I hope he didn’t want to add salt…
Also court documents noted that the autopsy determined the organs were removed while the victim was alive…
Eating hearts hmm? Sounds like the Evil Stepmother from Snow White.
He pleaded guilty and in return he is spending 50 years in prison..that is surely a slap on the wrists..though I wouldn’t want to do the slapping.
Not sure why or how the dead celeb rumors begin but to lay the nonsense to rest..Morgan Freeman is not dead.
I can’t tell you how many times this weekend I overheard people talk about this subject and actually believed the rumor, of course everyone who talked about it said they saw it on their Twitter or their News Feed via Facebook.
Now how do you think this rumor made our friend Morgan Freeman feel?
