I am going to apologize in advance for posting this, but I had to. I knew pretty much anything could be canned, but a whole chicken? I never thought I would see such a thing and to be able to buy it on Amazon amazes me as well. On to the post…

Having trouble finding a Father’s Day gift this year? I know I am! Well I know if your Father is anything like mine he loves to eat in general but really loves to eat chicken. I thought about getting him a KFC gift card (not really) but this just doesn’t seem good enough to me. So I came across the Sweet Sue Whole Chicken in a Can! The great part about this is, it will never expire like the gift card and he can eat it anytime he wants. Even 10 years later! Well, I don’t know about that but isn’t canned stuff supposed to last a long time?

Here is a quote from the site about the great product:

“A slippery Steal”

“At $49.99 you can’t go wrong. Where else can you find a whole chicken that comes with it’s own vaseline for non-stick oven action? Every can comes with it’s own bonus surprise. I was fortunate enough to find the head of the chicken still attached in my can. The beak came in handy for a crunchy treat after dinner. A friend found mature eggs in her chicken, kids had egg sandwiches the following morning.Take advantage and order Sweet Sue Whole Chicken in a Can before this low priced offer expires or you just might end up paying regular price $129.99.”

This has to be a joke, or I hope it is. I am surprised that Amazon would keep such a product on their site with the funny/disturbing comments and not to mention the pictures! Nasty! Do they not moderate their comments or user submitted photos? If you go to the user submitted photos look at the last one, it is a cop with a quote under it saying, “Make Every Day count”. What is that about (its pretty funny though)!

Personally, I find this really disgusting/funny/disturbing in a way because just look at it. I will warn you the user submitted photos on the site are pretty nasty and I hope that isn’t how it really looks! I still can’t believe this is real and not a joke. If anyone actually purchases one of these let me know how that goes!

On November 28th an Indian woman gave birth at age 70! “WOW” is one word that comes to mind and “HOW” is another that popped in my mind just now. Oh I thought of another word, “WHY”. Oh and to clarify on the “HOW” word, I know how and don’t want to think about it. But anyway just thought I would share this article with you.

Apparently fertility drugs were used in this birth which yet again makes me ask the question, “WHY”? I guess it doesn’t matter, but congratulations to the new parents. If you want to read more about this article Click Here

A Spanish tradition dating back from 1620, baby jumping is a practice that take place every year in a small town called Castrillo de Murcia.

During the Colacho festival, people dressed as the devil (Colacho in spanish), jump over babies born in the last 12 months to cleanse them of the original sin and protect them against evil spirits and illness.

It’s considered the most dangerous festival from around the world. This year, it took place on May 22, but you can catch it in 2009, when it takes place on June 11.

A 59 year old American woman that was thought to be dead by the medical staff after her heart stopped, came back to life after she was taken off the life support, just as its family was beginning to arrange for her funeral.

Her name is Velma Thomas and it all begun with a cardiac arrest that she had at home, after which medics took 8 minutes of CPR to get a faint pulse from her again. After she was brought to the hospital, her heart stopped twice more, so she was put on life support.

In the next 17 hours, doctors couldn’t detect any kind of brain activity in the woman, even as they tried some new treatments in their attempts to revive her, lowering her body temperature to stimulate her brain.

Here’s what Tim Thomas her son declared to the Charleston Daily Mail about the decision to pull the plug:

I came to the conclusion she wasn’t going to make it. Her skin had already started hardening, her hands and toes were curling up, they were already drawn. There was no life there.

And with the doctors telling him that there was no pulse, measurable brain activity or blood pressure, the decision came to turn off the life support.

Soon after they left the hospital, the doctors called him and said that his mother came back to life. She had begun moving her limbs and then suddenly, her heart restarted.

When he got back to the hospital, she was conscious and asking where her son was.

A homeless woman lived in the closet of a Japanese man for one year before she was found and arrested.

Apparently the fact that someone was living in his home wasn’t enough to tip him off. It took the fact that food was missing from his house to give him a hint that something was wrong. Since he lived alone, and didn’t have any rats, he installed security cameras in his rooms and set them up to transmit to his mobile phone.

Shortly after, he saw something in those images, and thinking that there was a burglar in the house, he called the police. When the police arrived, they found the house locked, but when they entered the house they found something they didn’t expect.

“We searched the house … checking everywhere someone could possibly hide,” Itakura said. “When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side.”

It was a homeless woman, 58 years old, that entered the house when the owner left without locking the door. She lived for one year in a small closet, on a futon she moved in it, taking showers and eating the man’s food when he was out of the house.
