Ok… Ok…    We want to make you laugh a bit and scratch your head while thinking how the heck or where did they find that at…

In that vein we have created this new section that will astound and bewilder you or just make you say huh!  Let’s give a big welcome to drum roll please!

“Fact of the Day”.

Feel free to contribute any oddity that you know about, weird tidbit, wild history, or anything else that you think others might enjoy, laugh at or even scratch their heads at!

Today we'll talk about The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

All you need to make a stormtrooper mask is a couple of plastic milk jugs and these instructions. The result is absolutely amazing. However, it does make a person wonder how long it took this person to figure this out and what his real job is.

These photos were taken by the German photographer Juergen Chill. They show the remarkable likenesses between a brothel and a prison cell. As much as they are alike I still think I would prefer the brothel.

These comic drawings illustrate some of the mistakes people do while taking pictures.

This might be oldie of the day, but this Halloween costume is the most genius trick ever.

There is a creepy crypt under a church in Rome that has two names, Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins and Santa Maria della Concezione. This church’s designer was Antonio Casoni. The crypt is decorated with skeletal remains that once belonged to 4,000 friars and were collected between 1528 and 1870. Now these human bones are arranged in ornaments. This Capuchin Crypt is a well-known ossuary that attracts tourists from all over the world. It has several rooms, and you can glance inside them after the jump.

Meet the real soccer fan of Atletico Nacional team. Felipe Alvares is 25 years old, and he is in love with soccer. Thus he decided to make a tattoo in honor of Columbian soccer player Andres Escobar who was murdered in 1994. People still think Mr. Escobar died because some powerful drug lords had a bet on the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the game in which Columbia lost 1:2 to the USA. That tournament should be in history by now, but Felipe’s crazy tattoo probably reminds him of that big loss.

This will give the people who never think about what goes on behind the scenes of a movie that is being made a little insight. These are rare behind the scene photos of the Star Wars saga Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. It all looks so easy on the big screen.

All these wildlife photographs were taken under controlled conditions by 32-year-old British photographer Jonathan Griffiths who lives in Montana, USA.

In China, a cheap form of advertising like writing on the walls and pedestrian crossings is very popular. So plumbers, tailors and other craftsmen involved in handicraft leave their phone numbers and addresses this way. But this kind of advertising is banned, therefore the police have to deal with it. So all of these self-entrepreneurs have already experienced the hard way that it’s better not to mess with the Chinese police..

For the last six months this Russian fellow left his Staffordshire terrier in his car that he bought especially for the dog to keep him away from illegal dog fights. The man was divorced and didn’t have any place to keep the pooch. He feeds and walks the dog twice a day but no one knows how well the dog will do during one of Russia’s winters. Plus, it seems that the dog becomes more aggressive being locked up there all alone.

These notes were collected during some event in New York.

And what about you? Who were you when you were a kid?

Failing is endless; each new day brings its batch of failure. In fact, people fail so much we could think they make it on purpose and, for your greatest pleasure, they can get very creative while failing!

You should see this 3-year-old boy. He is so young, and so super-sized that some nurseries ban him for being a "health hazard" to other children. While most average kids of this age are only about two stone, Xiao Hao’s weight is 5 times heavier. According to some medics, this child might have a growth hormone disorder. Other people believe he is just a victim of China's "Little Emperor" syndrome as parents in this country are allowed only one child. And their relatives spoil rotten babies.

33 miners were trapped at San Jose mine in Copiapo for more than two months. They were sealed 2,041-foot into the mine's lower reaches by a collapse of 700,000 tons of rock. Finally, these men were hoisted to the surface in a rescue capsule on October 12-13. The Chilean emergency workers and President Sebastian Pinera met them on the ground. Residents and pedestrians watched the rescue on a large screen in a public square and on TVs in electronics store. No one in recorded history has survived as long trapped underground as these 33 miners. For the first two weeks, no one even knew whether they were alive.

These are some of the most provocative print ads ever. They were started by CNN in Turkey under the title “Stories with the Full Background” and continued by Russia Today. These are truly powerful visuals that cover important issues.

While it may not be difficult to slice a bagel into two pieces that are linked, I wouldn’t want to try it without these instructions. It may take a couple of tries for you to achieve success. Try it and surprise your spouse with it for breakfast.

Although it may not sound too appetizing, it actually looks rather tasty. It is made from some sort of ground meat, iced with mashed potatoes, and frosted with ketchup. Basically it is a meatloaf dinner all in one cake.

While this Russian military equipment wouldn’t be very useful at doing what it looks like they are capable of doing, they are useful..

If you don’t know what cowboy Henk comics are, they are Belgium adult comics. There is nothing too risqué but the humor is definitely for adults. They are not outrageously funny but rather some subtle humor.

When Jonathan Blaustein purchased 10 early-season organic blueberries for $1, he was a little upset by this price, because six weeks earlier he had purchased 17 organic blueberries from Chile for the same amount of money. And those blueberries from Chile were from 800 miles away but were half the cost of California berries.

Eventually, after seeing many different menus around the world with various dollar-priced meals, photographer Mr. Blaustein, 36, decided to pursue a project “The Value of a Dollar”.

So, what food can you buy if you only have $1 in your wallet? See these photos taken by Mr. Blaustein and find out the answer.

This South Korean protester is nuts. See how he is looking like a ninja superhero!
