Weird

Click the ball

by

The object of this stupid game is to click the ball attached to your pointer and watch it change color.

Click the ball

As you can see by the color it has changed.  It started out dark blue. 

Play it.  Remember, I told you it was stupid.

Beautiful butt picture seeking fame and fortune

by

Imagestoilet-viewAn email received here at B&P headquarters:

Hello. We are a research company called Formulation in Tokyo. We work for Japanese TV production companies.

One of our clients is producing a special TV show featuring unique, weird, rare images around the world.

They are showing many photos of weird stuff. And the producer found a very interesting toilet photo shown at your blog page below:
http://bitsandpieces.us/2008/06/19/magnificent-toilet-view/

We are wondering if you own (possess) this particular photo. If so we would like to use this photo for the TV show. The license fee would be paid to you via wire-transfer or a check. We would need a higher resolution copy of this photo when we use it.

It would be aired one time in October (with possibility of one time re-run later) on TBS network in Japan.

If you don’t possess but you know the person who shot the picture, then please let me know the contact information.  Actually we are editing the TV show this Friday, so I would appreciate if I could have your answer today.

Thank you very much and I am waiting for your reply.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to reap the rewards, nor the fame, because I don’t own the picture they inquired about.  Butt, it is a good picture.

Hurricane Ike photos

B&P reader Nathan writes: “Hey, I am a reader of Bits and Pieces (discovered it during an internship during the summer of 2007) and it has gotten me through some long days at work and school.

I live in Houston and took some pictures of the Hurricane aftermath specifically to send to you, although nothing as cool as the fish pictures you posted.

Side by side

My 85 year old grandmother also has (had) a beach house in Gilchrist, TX which is on Bolivar Peninsula, one of the worst hit areas. I created this side by side picture. The before is on the right, the after, if you can even call it that, is on the left. The beach is at the bottom of the pictures. Her house is/was the one with the blue on the top.

We still do not have power at my house, luckily we have gas for the stove and water heater along with a generator. Today is the first time I have been able to get on the internet since Friday night.”

Wow, Grandma’s house is just gone.  Sorry to see that.

Thanks Nathan

Strangest suicide in history

by

This is complicated….

OK…. a man jumps off a ten story building intending to commit suicide.  On his way past a ninth story window he is killed by a shotgun blast fired from inside by a man threatening to kill his wife again with an unloaded gun that was unknowingly loaded by the man’s son who hated is mother.  The man wanting to fall to his death is unknowingly headed into a safety net put in place by some window washers for their protection. 

Oh, and the son is dead.  Suicide? murder? accident?  I told you it was complicated.

Read a better account of the strangest suicide.
