I found the Edited part of this message just Ridiculously gross........and am now trying to destroy the memory of it ever being read.

So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.

SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!!

The Canadian province of New Brunswick had a bloodless war with the US state of Maine in 1839.

If placed into a Subway toaster, nacho flavored Doritos can be covered in cheese and meats to create restaurant style nachos. If you use cool ranch flavor, however, they will catch fire.

Although I witnessed this on three separate occassions, I cannot explain it.

If you do, do it when your boss is gone. It doesn't so much burst into flame (not enough oxygen) as it does smolder and create this thick, noxious black smoke. When you open the door it starts to actually burn, unless you put it out quick. Also, the smoke stinks.

Here's another good one: As a boy, Mel Brooks got his face chewed off by wild dogs.

I have only ever seen it done with the toaster-oven used at a Subway restaurant. I have no idea if it works elsewhere.

Yet another useless fact: The producers of 'Daredevil' made Michael Clarke Duncan gain forty pounds in order to play the role of the Kingpin.

90% of kids report that thier parents never pay any attention to game ratings when purchased. Yet 62% of those parents will take away a game they see on the news for being 'bad' (regardless of the actual content).

During the first world war everything german was hated, in fact it wasn't uncommon for americans to beat sacks of daschunds to death simply for being a german breed. It is a small miracle that the breed still exists in America.
