BONUS VIRAL VIDEO - BEST XMAS PRANK EVER...


VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - THE CUTEST LITTLE UKELELE PLAYER EVER...


CAN YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT HE'S PLAYING THO?

STRANGEST PICTURE CONTEST...YOU DECIDE...

Commuters on the London Underground are used to unusual sights - but even they were surprised to see a fox calmly walking up the escalator at a Tube station, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. It's not clear where he was trying to get to - Foxford Circus, Shepherd's Bushy Tail, or maybe just Barking.

The picture was taken by freelance journalist Kate Arkless Gray, who posted it to both Twitter and her Flickr photo stream. The picture became a big hit on Twitter, with over 17,000 people looking at the picture., leaving comments like 'Most awesome picture ever!', 'He's the coolest fox ever', and 'Where does he keep his Travel Card?'
The fox was eventually shooed back out through the gates at Walthamstow Central station by staff, and was last seen heading in the direction of the bus station, presumably to try and get the night bus instead.

Forget the nursery rhyme about a cow jumping over the Moon – this animal leapt on to a roof.

This is the cow from Blagdon, Somerset, who jumped six feet onto the roof of a building. Fortunately, 17-year-old William de Cothi was on hand to hastily snap a picture - because he thought nobody would believe him otherwise.

Medics in China couldn't get to the bottom of a drunk student's pain - until x-rays revealed he had a television remote control stuck up his bottom.

The amazing x-rays showed that 19-year-old Huang Chen had the TV remote lodged up his backside. Police believe it was a part of a prank played by flatmates on Chen when he collapsed after a night's drinking in Changsha, southern China. 'We didn't know what it was to start with. There was a little bit of blood but he didn't say anything about a remote control. We couldn't quite believe it when we saw the X-ray,' said Dr Wei Lung Zhi of Hunan Hangtian Hospital. 'He will be fine in time, but the remote was a write off,' he added.

ENJOY THE SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

The Winter Solstice occurs exactly when the earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26'. Though the Winter Solstice lasts an instant in time, the term is also colloquially used like Midwinter to refer to the day on which it occurs. For most people in the high latitudes this is commonly known as the shortest day and the sun's daily maximum position in the sky is the lowest. The seasonal significance of the Winter Solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days.

Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.
Since 45 BCE, when the 25th of December was established in the Julian calendar as the winter solstice of Europe, (Latin: Bruma), the difference between the calendar year (365.2500 days) and the tropical year (365.2422 days) moved the day associated with the actual astronomical solstice forward approximately three days every four centuries until 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII changed the calendar bringing the northern winter solstice to around December 21. Yearly, in the Gregorian calendar, the solstice still fluctuates slightly but, in the long term, only about one day every 3000 years.For Celtic countries, such as Ireland, the calendarical winter season has traditionally begun November 1 on All Hallows or Samhain. Winter ends and spring begins on Imbolc or Candlemas, which is February 1 or 2.The winter solstice may have been immensely important because communities were not certain of living through the winter, and had to be prepared during the previous nine months. Starvation was common in winter between January and April, also known as the famine months. In temperate climates, the midwinter festival was the last feast celebration, before deep winter began. Most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter, so it was almost the only time of year when a supply of fresh meat was available. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time.

Meán Geimhridh (Irish tr: midwinter) or Grianstad an Gheimhridh (Ir tr: winter solstice) is a name sometimes used for hypothetical midwinter rituals or celebrations of the Proto-Celtic tribes, Celts, and late Druids. In Ireland's calendars, the solstices and equinoxes all occur at about midpoint in each season. The passage and chamber of Newgrange (Pre-Celtic or possibly Proto-Celtic 3,200 BCE), a tomb in Ireland, are illuminated by the winter solstice sunrise. A shaft of sunlight shines through the roof box over the entrance and penetrates the passage to light up the chamber. The dramatic event lasts for 17 minutes at dawn from the 19th to the 23rd of December. The point of roughness is the term for the winter solstice in Wales which in ancient Welsh mythology, was when Rhiannon gave birth to the sacred son, Pryderi.

FROM SHORT FILM TO MAJOR STUDIO CONTRACT...


A producer from Uruguay who uploaded a short film to YouTube in November 2009 has been offered a $30m (£18.6m) contract to make a Hollywood film. The movie will be sponsored by director Sam Raimi, whose credits include the Spiderman and Evil Dead films. Fede Alvarez's short film "Ataque de Panico!" (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of $300 (£186). So far it has had more than 1.5 million views on YouTube. "I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios," he told the BBC's Latin American service BBC Mundo. "It was amazing, we were all shocked." The movie Mr Alvarez has been asked to produce is a sci-fi film to be shot in Uruguay and Argentina. He says he intends to start from scratch and develop a new story for the project. "If some director from some country can achieve this just uploading a video to YouTube, it obviously means that anyone could do it," he added.

SEPERATED AT BIRTH?



Meanwhile, TV explorer Ben Fogle has chased four burglars from his house - armed with a sled. The Country File presenter was preparing to welcome his new son home from hospital when four men vaulted over a wall into his garden. They then started trying to batter the door down. But they didn't count on facing Ben armed with his winter transport - and were chased away.

Also...Prince William and Ben Fogle - can you tell the difference?
They bear a passing resemblance to one another and they both like to get away from it all by spending time in Norfolk. But a village shopkeeper was having none of it when Prince William's bodyguards tried to pass him off as TV adventurer Ben Fogle. Trevor Howell recognised the 27-year-old Prince and his partner, Kate Middleton, as soon as they walked into Howell's Superstores at Binham, near Wells. When he said as much, a protection officer replied: “No it's not, it's Ben Fogle.” “I believed him until I looked again and saw Kate Middleton standing beside the till, it was pretty clear then,” he said last night . Both men also share a love of Norfolk. Mr Fogle and his wife Marina, who gave birth to the couple's first child last week, were frequent visitors to Holkham where they enjoyed romantic breaks at the Victoria.

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - GOTTA LOVE THOSE GUMMY BEARS!


OMG THAT'S IN MY HEAD FOR THE DAY NOW...

Stop the Press Stories

Is this the UK's most stupid drunk-driver?
Security cameras in Ely Cambridgeshire captured footage of this man staggering to his car before moving round to the passenger side to relieve himself (so he must have had some semblance of sense not to 'pee in his own backyard').
After zipping himself up, he managed to get behind the wheel and drive off, narrowly avoiding the car parked in front and a few cones, all while ignoring the flashing blue lights coming up fast behind him.
As you can imagine, he didn't get too far

Sharkman
IT'S not exactly something many would attempt to do - reach out and pat a deadly tiger shark in the middle of a feeding frenzy.
However, conservationist Leon Deschamps couldn't resist the temptation.
Photos show him stroking the heads of tiger sharks feeding on the carcass of a dead whale in Western Australia.
Amazingly, he was sitting on the whale while patting the sharks.
Mr Deschamps hopes the images and footage will dispel "myths" that tiger sharks are blood-thirsty, man-eating monsters.

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - STOP DISSING THE GINGES!

Supermarket giant Tesco has apologised after complaints that a Christmas card it sold in the UK was offensive to people with ginger hair. The card in question shows a child with red hair sitting on the lap of Santa Claus under the banner: "Santa loves all kids. Even ginger ones". Tesco said the offending card had now been withdrawn from all its stores.

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - WHO'S THAT CREEPING AROUND MY APARTMENT?


Yes, I found out the hard way that I had an uninvited guest living in my apartment, sharing my food and drinks and pissing in my sink. Talk about a creepy situation... only in the big apple....

So I have been innodated with questions since this was posted and I thought it wise to give answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

#1 - Are you sh#ting me?
A - No, this is every bit as real and messed up as it seems

#2 - What did you do when you saw the footage?
A - I immediately left my apartment and called the police.

#3 - Who is that girl?
A - I have no idea, she didn't say much when the cops came and took her.

#4 - What was it she actually climbed down from?
A - It is a storage loft/area in the apartment. It has no connection to any outside ventilation or anything of that such. It does go pretty deep back in there, almost all the way to over the stove/kitchen area. She had set up a little nook for herself.

#5 - How did she get in there?
A - I have no idea, the only way she could have gotten in is through the window, as I am on the top floor and there is a fire escape. The police think she was probably coming in to rob me when I was gone and decided to stow away in the crawl space. Supposedly this isn't the first time the cops had come across something like this.

#6 - How long was she in your apartment?
A - The police officers thought it looked as though she had been there for at least a couple weeks, although could have been longe

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - GROOM'S PERFECT DAY RUINED BY MEDDLESOME SISTERS-IN-LAW


One moment, 27-year-old Peruvian Edwin Ortiz was sitting happily in a large wedding hall with 17 other couples, declaring his love for his wife-to-be to TV cameramen in the southern town of Miraflores. The next, two women relatives of his ex-partner burst into the room, rushed up to Ortiz and began pounding on his head and back while screaming at him. The burly women eventually shoved him and his mother outside into a parking lot, where the ex-partner joined in, Miraflores spokesman Julio Hincho said Wednesday. Ortiz described the woman as his ex-girlfriend - but the family insists she is his wife. Police did not reveal her name and did not clarify Ortiz's marital status. The ex-partner's mother, sisters and aunts all participated in Saturday's attack, Hincho said, adding, 'Everyone was hauled off to jail.' Ortiz registered himself for the mass wedding as a bachelor with no kids, Hincho said. He later acknowledged having lived with the woman but said they were separated and that he 'was starting a new life.' Police officials said that a woman who identified herself as Ortiz's wife filed a complaint against him for attempted 'crimes against the family.' The mass wedding ceremony went ahead as planned and all of the couples - except for Ortiz and his betrothed - were wed.

THE ULTIMATE CAR WASH

I NOW TWEET YOU MAN & WIFE...


A groom interrupted his own wedding to get his phone out at the altar to update his relationship status on Facebook and Twitter. He whipped out his mobile immediately after the minister pronounced the couple man and wife. The audience then burst out laughing as the minister, who was in on the stunt, tells them the groom is updating his relationship status. He also Tweeted: "Standing at the altar with TracyPage where just a second ago, she became my wife! Gotta go, time to kiss my bride." He then hands his new wife her phone so she can update her Facebook status from "in a relationship" to "married". On YouTube, the un-named groom says: "This was just done to be funny - we really don't Facebook THAT often:). "I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch. So when Tracy and I were engaged, most of my family found out via Facebook because we updated our statuses. "I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during our wedding. "I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself."

WORST PARKING JOB EVER!


This is the original video footage from the DVR's - I edited this video the day of the Incident. Thursday Oct. 22, 2009 - Extreme Fitness Thornhill, Ontario, Canada Parking lot. The female driver of the X5 was charged today and is due in court Dec. 1st.
The surveillance video was an instant success on YouTube. Titled "Worst Parking Job Ever!", the video shows a woman trying to park her BMW X5 SUV. She pulls in and bounces over a concrete barrier, which lands her on top of two other vehicles. She then drove off. It happened in front of Extreme Fitness in Thornhill, Ont., Canada. Local police investigated and tracked down the alleged driver, Tripta Kaushal, 62, and arrested her for failing to remain at the scene of an accident. "I've never seen anything quite like that before," said Todd Jamison, who owns one of the smashed cars and works at the gym. "It was like someone had thrown a body through the window." Jamison ran back inside to check out the security camera footage, and found the cause. When contacted for a comment, Kaushal replied, "I have nothing to say." (Toronto Star) ...Right: her driving does all the talking for her.

Would you believe but the boy with the beard lost the Mo growing challenge hmmmm well maybe starting a week late didn't help..clearly I overestimated my facial follical growing abilities (and underestimated Phil 'The Dark Horse' Bourke's) it IS getting there but might take another week to look as humdinger as I had been hoping for...

Still if you are impressed at our efforts maybe consider donating something on my Movember home page here

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - BRIDE CAUGHT KISSING BEST MAN ON CCTV


Originally posted on Wedinator a site dedicated to showcasing wedding photo disasters from around the world, the image has now been reposted on hundreds of blogs across the web. The unnamed woman, believed to be Russian, is shown getting out of a limousine wearing a white dress, the top half of which consists of two small, strategically positioned semicircles over a dramatic embonpoint. Predictably the internet’s fashion commentators have not been uniformly complimentary. One, the author of a blog post called “The Five Sluttiest Wedding Dresses”, describes it as “the equivalent of the groom wearing a codpiece”. Others have wondered whether the choice of a white dress is perhaps misleading, while others make the inevitable puns: “They make a lovely pair” seems to be the most common. Wedinator, which has been running since February, includes among its other catastrophic nuptials a video of a public proposal gone hideously wrong , and CCTV footage apparently showing a bride cheating with the groom’s best man during the reception.

WORLD'S WORST PHOTO-FIT GETS THE GUY


Bolivian police managed to track down a man wanted for murder even though they were working from what has been described as the world's worst photo-fit. At least one suspect was arrested following the release of the photo-fit, left. Though, in keeping with Bolivian laws, he could not be identified. Instead, media sites blocked his face with images of the bizarre photo-fit. A taxi driver, named in Bolivian media as Rafael Vargas, was murdered in what police said was either a drugs-related hit or a crime of passion. In March, police found his body, which had been stabbed 11 times before being burnt. Officials issued an appeal for help, and one neighbour drew a picture of what she believed the suspect looked like - though many other people have said her drawing resembles nothing more than the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. The picture, more reminiscent of a child's school drawing than a piece of forensic evidence, consists of a pair of eyes, lopsided lips, a broomstick-shaped nose, and straight eyebrows topped with hair resembling a thatched roof. A newsreader presenting the image on Bolivian television has become a Youtube sensation. And while viewers have ridiculed the crudely-drawn image, it reportedly helped police arrest a suspect. At least one suspect was arrested following the release of the photo-fit. Though, in keeping with Bolivian laws, he could not be identified. Instead, media sites blocked his face with images of the bizarre photo-fit.
