Batman has cool toys.  I want cool toys too.  I’ve often thought that it can’t be too hard to make a grappling hook launching gun filled with compressed air… well I guess I’m right, check out this one from Digital Force Technologies (http://www.digitalforcetech.com/tpls.asp):

It looks cool, point, and shoot, you can launch up to 350 psi, which is apparently 125ish feet.  Check dude out below, all ready to go:

So, Digital Force Technologies forgot one key piece…once you get the hook to the top of the bank target building, you still need to climb your ass up!  Come on, even Batman thought about that one! 

From Chuck Shepherd’s News of the Weird: 

“1994 — In Labouchere Bay, Alaska, in November, Cairl D. Cothren, 50, accidentally shot himself in the shoulder with the shotgun he was holding between his knees in the cab of a truck when he leaned over to spit tobacco juice into a can on the floor.”

“1991 — Jail officials in Clearwater, Fla., released inmate Michael Ewers in May after falling for his escape plot. Ewers, in jail awaiting extradition to Alaska, telephoned local jailers from inside the jail, pretending to be an Alaska official, saying it was not worth the expense to return Ewers there and therefore to let him go. They did.”

When R. Kelly isn’t too busy pissing on underage girls, he’s hard at work cranking out masterpieces(sarcasm) such as the whole “Trapped in the Closet” music/video/story/hip-hopera/whatever series.  Honestly, who else but R could come up with mixing adultery with midgets shitting themselves AND combine it into a multi-part music video.  For those of you who missed it, you can catch the entire 22 part series on the IFC’s website right here (seriously, it makes for a good laugh):

As it’s the holiday season, someone with a bunch of clay and freetime felt inspired by the genius (once again, sarcasm), and created a 3-part series called “Trapped in a Clauset” (as in Santa Claus).

Now, unlike R.Kelly….. This is GENIUS:

Chapter 1:

Chapter 2:

Chapter 3:

Anyone else notice Mrs. Claus has a package?

Streakers, you gotta love them, they’re getting more and more innovative.

Ref’s uniform to sneak onto the field, and a football shaped thong….. Genius.
