May He Rest in Yeast

This 67-year-old Chicago man is planning for the future - with the end in mind. He's survived five whopping heart attacks and has come to terms with passing away someday, but not before getting his custom made Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can inspired casket completed in time for his departure. If the dude's life "revolves" around his fave beer, then why can't his afterlife? The obsession may sound absurd and sick, but where there's a beer - there's a way. See the "end" result below.

Funny? Over My Dead Body!

A cemetery is the last place you would expect to get a good chuckle, but think again. Who says the dead can't be funny? A few of these tombstones are unintentionally amusing, others are blatantly sarcastic, and the rest are just observant. Case in point: "I see dumb people." There's no arguing with that. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

All Signs Point To...

Locals Won't Let Sh*thead R.I.P.

When this woman's dog, Shithead, passed away, the woman bought a plot of land (big enough for both of them) in a local cemetery and buried the dog with a proper tombstone. But folks in the community didn't think there was anything "proper" about a tombstone with the word "Shithead" inscribed across it and wanted it removed. It's a crappy situation, at best-- but oh so amusing.

Skittles: Fear The Rainbow

In this strangely morbid Skittles commercial, a dude is gifted with the power of changing everything he touches into Skittles, even people. I don't blame the dude for feeling bad about his casualties, but it'd be a whole different ballgame if he could change everything he touched into nachos. Mmmm. Now that's what I call making the world a better place.

WTF?!

Shhh! I see dead birdies.

Do you accept cash upfront or shall I write a check once I get to my grave?

Astrology: Do You Believe in Saturn's Return?

TresSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:00:00 -0700

If you're anywhere between 27 and 30 and have ever had, oh, a problem, someone might tell you not to worry - or, actually do worry. It's all part of a perfect celestial storm known as Saturn's return. Taking about 29 years to orbit the Earth, Saturn returns to the place it was in at your birth every 29 years. This means one thing to astrologers - rebirth!

Birth is painful; rebirth isn't much better, especially considering Saturn is a sign of growth. Astrologers believe Saturn's return represents life changes: the first time it returns in your late 20s, you enter adulthood. The next time, around 60, you enter maturity, and the final time, at 90, you enter the wisdom of old age. None of it comes easy.

So what does Saturn's return mean for those approaching 30? It's out with the old and in with the new: self-examination, career changes, bad relationships ending, good relationships deepening, and, hey, maybe you'll have a baby! To which I say, these are all things that happen anyway.

Yet, Saturn's return is all over pop culture. No Doubt named its 2000 album Return of Saturn as Gwen Stefani approached her 29th birthday; there's a book - Surviving Saturn's Return - about it; and then there's this amazing blog that connects Saturn's return with events in celebrities lives. It's quite morbid, actually, blaming Annie Leibovitz's money troubles and the deaths of John Hughes, Heath Ledger, and Julia Child on the return of Saturn.

Sound about right to you, or should the idea return to outer space?

Stranger Than Fiction: Preschool Teachers Eat Pot Brownies

TresSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:00:00 -0700

Snack time gets scandalous! Several teachers at a Los Angeles preschool got sick last year after eating a batch of brownies that one of the teachers purchased from "what she thought was a church bake sale." But after munching on one brownie each, the teachers got a serious case of the munchies, not to mention some silliness and confusion.

You can probably guess how this turns out: the supposed "church bake sale" was actually a random sidewalk vendor, and the brownies were actually pot brownies. The truth was reported five months later in the the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report of the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. Apparently, none of the teachers had smoked or ingested pot before and didn't like it one bit.

Though accidentally eating pot brownies has been played for laughs everywhere from the season one finale of 90210 to the movie Taking Woodstock, it would be pretty horrifying if you thought you were eating regular brownies and suddenly came down with a serious case of stonedness. However, I find it weird that the teacher supposedly thought she was buying the brownies from a church bake sale. Do you buy that story?
