    Current News

    A genie in the bottle.....

    I hear Florida being mentioned a lot in the news these days connected to all kinds of things, and it never stops to amuse me. Check this out - A Florida man bottles up and sells ghosts to the public. He says that his ghostbusters collect ghosts from all over the country, which he then bottles and sells. For just as little as 20 dollars per bottle you may own your own private ghost, you can even pick the origin of your ghost, and even release it at your own risk
    When asked as to how and why, the man replied that KFC is not sharing their secret recipes, and neither will he!

    Hi Muza

    Oh dear, there some funny people about. How does he get the ghosts to fly into the bottle. Well as long as there are folks to be persuaded, he has a nice little earner. I would insist on releasing one first, just to prove it wasn't a con, which I am certain it is. Or am I just sceptical? I must admit I haven't seen a ghost well not in real life.

    Oh well it is a good laugh.




    Sleep well folks.

    As brick walls are no challenges to ghosts (I understand from the movies) the I imagine glass bottles should proove no obstacle ...

    Margaret, I dont know how he does it, and he doesnt want to tell - thats his "KFC" secret recipe.

    CT, thats a great question, about which most of us did not even think to think about, lols . Maybe they are special bottles

    You asked: "How does he get the ghosts to fly into the bottle".

    The only way possible - mass hypnotism!!

    Wow, I didn't know they could hypnotise ghosts.

    His secret recipe, well he can keep it. With my luck I would end up with thousands of ghosts spooking me, and a load of empty bottles.

    haha, that was definitely interesting news.

    Another headline:
    A kid reached for a watermelon at a local WalMart and ended up grabbing something else... she felt a prick at her finger tip. When the help came, they found a 2-inch scorpion crawling around watermelon. Turns out it came from Mexico with a shipment of watermelon..... a little illegal immigrant from mexico.... So be carefull and watch what you are grabbing at your local prodice stores!

    You at one time used to find tarantulas around bananas and you still
    have to watch. Any kind of bug can be bad even ants and gnats.

    You guys are making me scared with all that banana and spiders talk.

    Next story, have you guys heard about Nick Hogan, Hulk Hogan's son? The kid got drunk, went drag racing, and hit the tree and totaled the vehicle. It wouldnt be as bad however, if he didnt have a friend in a passenger seat, who is now literally missing a half of his brain and will probably never move again. Hogan got 8 months of jail (which will end up to being like 3 months), in his own private cell.
    Meanwhile, his dumb family, particularly mommy is saying things like "I dont know why that other kid's family is so messed up, if his mother was a real mother, she wouldnt be mad at my kid and us, she would feel sorry!!! I have lost my son!"

    How ridiculous is that? What scares and shocks me the most, is that I think she actually thinks like that.

    Hi Muza

    I hadn't heard that story, what a dumb mother. She didn't lose a son, he is alive and well in a jail cell. The other mother has lost much more, her son will never move again and only has half a brain. These people only think of themselves.


    There are a couple in the Uk who came over from India, they are now British citizens. They wanted to have a child, but had to go back to India for IVF because they couldn't have it here. The fact is they were considered too old, he is 72 and she is 59, she has recently given birth to beautiful twin girls. What did they do? dump the babies on the hospital because they wanted a boy to carry on the family name. As soon as she is well enough they intend to go back to India for another try.

    I'm afraid I would tell them they have to stay there, babies are for life not to be cast away, because they are the wrong sex.
