You just can't make this stuff up! The crazy news of the day thread.

Hmmm, I can imaging having my child 18 years younger than my youngest grandchild. I also can’t imagine starting to raise a child all over again in a few years (as I’m younger than that new mom).

I don’t get folks making a huge fuss about gender, or proms or proposals. It’s all the social media frenzy that keeps feeding the monsters.

Men acquitted of rape because unconscious 14 y/o victim “didn’t fight back.”

I should be able to say this is unbelievable, but unfortunately I cannot.

In other news, this shocking attack on staff and customers at a local fast food restaurant was apparently orchestrated!

This rapper is non-apologetic about the fact that he takes his (now 18 y/o) daughter to the gynecologist every year to have her hymen checked to assure him she is still a virgin.

I know nothing about this rapper, but wonder what kind of lyrics he writes with regard to women.

One of the craziest, best, most heartwarming videos I have ever seen:

I will also post in the grandparents thread.

Way to go Grandma!

Lol!! Mr. just played me the video, and I was about to post it. Way to go, Ms. Murphy!

Not a news story, but I just heard the most gross and disturbing pharmaceutical commercial ever. I forget the name of the medicine, but it’s for diabetes. The ad says that one of the side effects is “genital gangrene!” I honestly think diabetes, even poorly controlled, sounds better than that. I can’t imagine who would ever take that medication.

Google:

“This bodybuilding 82-year-old grandma made an intruder regret breaking into her home”

originally reported by CNN.

@Publisher - look up 2-3 posts - 145 and 146.

@jym626: Thank you. Nevertheless, this story deserves double billing !

Lol:

Someone posted the dog video on facebook the other day. I was looking at the cop car in the front before I saw the dog doing donuts in the back!

Someone really didn’t want anyone coming to his home for the Thanksgiving…

^^^^Are you suggesting that it’s the victim’s fault?

To dilute the crazy-bizarre stuff a bit. This is so cute and funny!
