here's one i think you'll like better than Soy sauce, Kastere;

Stan Murmer, an artist from Virginia, is the pioneer of 'butt painting', which involves him sitting in paint and stamping his butt on a canvas to create images. he has created butt-print tulips, butterflies, and parrots by this method, among other things, and, beleive it or not, he has actually sold some of his work.

DAMN! But people feed on madness around here! Hmm...well, what about Fox?

(playing on words again);

in August 2006, Charles and Camilla - a pair of veiled chameleons - became the proud parents of no less than 56 healthy babies. it is very rare for such a large number of baby chameleons from one clutch of eggs to survive, and owner Vicky Fox from Dorset, England, had to quickly find homes for the inch-long offspring before instinct kicked in and they became violently territorial at around the age of 3 months.

Human Strength

David Gonzales performed an astonishing 21 strongman acts in a single afternoon in Fort Meyers, Florida, in November 2006. ten of these were completed in less than a minute, including tearing a 1000 page telephone book in half, bending a steel bar 4 in (10 cm) thick over his head, and standing on his head while holding himself steady with hands resting on broken glass.

here's a bonus one, it seems morally wrong not to include it;

when a teenage cyclist was trapped under a car in Tucson, Arizona, in July 2006, he was saved by a strong bystander who lifted the car right off the ground. at 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) tall and weighing 300 lb (136 kg), Tom Boyle raised the Chevrolet Camaro single-handedly, allowing the driver to haul the injured cyclist clear.

Satanic Rituals of the fourth degree

here's a weird ritual;

nearly 500 teenagers from 26 countries donned oversized wooden clogs to perform a modern ballet version of a traditional Dutch clog dance in The Hague in July 2006. the dancers learned the steps in their own countries, which included Canada, Jamaica, Israel, and Finland, before travelling to the Netherlands for the performance.

sorry, no Marines, no Space, but soldiers;

believe it or not, China's army turns away recruits that snore too loudly!

what kind of book is this?!? oh well, it relates to the question, so the Guarantee has not been broken.

Dominoes, or Pickle.

you would pick a long one! :D

a team of 87 builders from 13 different countries took around 2 months to set up an intricate domino course - and then saw more than four million dominoes toppled in a matter of minutes.

the 'Domino Day' challenge took place in the city of Leeuwarden, in the Netherlands, on November 17, 2006. it was created by Weijers Domino Productions, who had designers working on the Dominoes Day project for almost the entire year. the course comprised 4,400,000 dominoes, took 5 months to produce, and weighed a total of 77,600 lb (35,200 kg).

4 special builders' challenges were included in the course whereby pairs of builders had to complete key areas of the display while the dominoes were already falling. By the end of the event, 4,079,381 of the 4,400,000 dominoes that had been set up were toppled successfully.

the theme for Domino Day 2006 was 'Music in Motion' and 9 musical genres, including rock, classical, disco, and hip-hop were represented. the set up included famous figures, such as Mozart and Britney Spears, as well as pictures, and even a 'domino city'.

one of the most spectacular sections of the design was devoted to Michael Jackson. a mechanical figure that was part of the display did a moonwalk and, whilethe soundtrack to 'Billie Jean' was played, the dominoes fell to form 3 impressive figures of Jackson.

How about Jellyfish? =p

closest thing to jellyfish is marine life;

while fishing off Bermuda in 2006, Ian Card was impaled on the bill of a 14-ft (4.3 m) blue marlin that leapt over his boat. the 800 lb (363 kg) fish hit Card with such force that its 3-ft (90 cm) spear went through his chest and knocked him into the sea. as the fish dived, forcing Card underwater, he was able to push himself off the razor-sharp bill and swim to the surface with blood pouring from his chest wound. he was rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in Bermuda where he underwent emergency surgery. doctors said that he would of died had the bill struck him a fraction of an inch to either side.

Well, what about Pinata?

The decorated clay pot also called a cantero represents Satan who often wears an attractive mask to attract humanity. The most traditional style piñata looks a bit like Sputnik, with seven points, each with streamers. These cones represent the seven deadly sins, pecados - greed, gluttony, sloth, pride, envy, wrath and lust. Beautiful and bright, the piñata tempted. Candies and fruits inside represented the cantaros (temptations)of wealth and earthly pleasures.

i had to search the internet and trawl through shite text before i found that.
i am determined not to break that Guarantee!

What about sleeping? That would be fun.

a former chef who cooks meals meal in his sleep is receiving medical help amid fears he could burn down his house. Robert Wood of Fife, Scotland, gets up four or five times a week and heads to the kitchen where he has made omelettes, stir fries, and chips without waking up.

ZZZZZZZZZ
bad pun. sorry.

What about...chubfish? Or just chub

here's a fishy one;

Kipper the catfish was blamed for starting a fire that destroyed a house in Poole, England, in 2006. during a fight in his tank, water splashed out onto an electric plug, sending a power surge up the tank cable. this burned the tanks plastic lid, which then melted onto a sofa, setting it, and the house, alight.

i would like to know what that poor fish was brawling with in that fish tank?!?

Tigers of course. We need to know about tigers.

And christians.

well bugger me, there's just one tiger fact;

a tiger zoo near Bangkok, Thailand, promotes interbreed friendships to an unusual degree. in 2004, a tigress and a piglet in a tiger-print jacket take a stroll together.

churches are related to Christianity;

in Edam, the Netherlands, there is a 1:10 scale model of the town's great church made out of 10,000 balls of Edam cheese.

i am beginning to regret this...

And ten minutes later all that was left was a tigress trying to fit into a piglet-sized jacket...

your in luck, only one;

when the children's museum of Indianapolis, Indiana, had the chance to name a newly discovered species of dinosaur, they referenced Hogwarts, the fictional wizard's school attended by Harry Potter.

Zerox 01-06-2008 08:14 AM

Oh yeah, I heard about that. Dracorex Hogwartsia. A Pachycephalosaurid. That was on the news.

Demented name though.

How about something involving bowels, or other disgusting bodily functions?

closest thing;

the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Gaithersburg, Maryland, stages an annual toilet-decorating contest. the 2006 winners of the $25 grand prize were two Boy Scouts with their Camp Stinkalot Scouthouse. they painted their toilet brown and built an outhouse around it, complete with a plastic vine and fake snake.

GENUINE!

Oddey 01-13-2008 06:17 AM

Hmmm... How about something involving toilets again.

HA HA! them i have plenty of;

an American firm has invented a new iPod accessory that combines the portable music player with a toilet-roll holder so you can enjoy your favourite tunes while in the bathroom.

specific but, i have a thing quite close to that genre;

Australian Pat Skinner got a shock when she saw an X-Ray of her pelvis in 2004. it showed a pair of surgical scissors that had been left inside her body during an operation she'd had 18 months previously.

there are plenty more where that came from, and thats tame compared to others! ask! ASK!!

shit...death?

a woman from Des Moines, Iowa, allegedly faked her own death to avoid paying parking fines. she apparently wrote her own obituary, made to look like a page from the website of the Des Moines Register, and forged a letter informing a judge that she had died in a car crash. but she was caught out after she was given yet another parking ticket just a month after her 'death'.

i was extremely lucky to find this, i was literally about to turn over the index page, and give you something about 'fakes' (see the play on genre this time?). bit diverse but, no Guarentee-breaky!

when the International Bird Rescue Research Center in Cordelia, California, treated an injured duck in May 2006, an X-Ray revealed what looked like the face of ET in the bird's stomach. the Center planned to auction the 'unbeleivable' X-Ray to raise funds.

for that, all you have to do is browse the forums! (JOKE).

well, this seems quite stupid;

in Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is considered to be 'simple assault', but biting someone with your false teeth is 'aggravated assault'.
