A little set-up here. One of my nephews got a job in an undisclosed neighboring state. He moved in with my he-who-must-not-be-named relative living in this undisclosed neighboring state. I usually pick him up on Friday so he can spend the weekend at home. My he-who-must-not-be-named relative grows his own and has a grow license from that state. He grows outdoors and my nephew started helping him cultivate and water the plants. They started getting damaged and missing plants. Fearing more damage and thinking it was a group of deer they built a deer proof fence around the plants. The damage continued. They put a mesh over the plants to prevent further damage. Something moved the mesh aside and continued to decimate the foilage. Thinking it was a human pest, my nephew decided to build a blind and wait for the culprit with his pit bull. He waited until after dark and got comfortable in the blind. His dog was acting kind of strange and took some time getting settled down. Around midnight he noticed some motion around a tree trunk (the property is in the middle of a forest). He kept seeing movement around that trunk and he kept thinking the trunk itself was moving. Like something was pushing on it from behind. The dog started whining and kept trying to crawl under his legs. His dog has never acted like this before. Suddenly, to his amazement, the "tree trunk" turned and walked into the forest.

He said he sat there for a good thirty minutes trying to wrap his mind around what just happened. He said it was bigger than any man. That's why he mistook it for a tree trunk. It was very tall. He also said that if it were a man in a Ghillie suit then it was the largest Ghillie suit ever made. He won't come out and say he saw a Bigfoot but he will say that he has no idea what it was. They found some huge barefoot tracks but the rain washed them away before they could get imprints. They took some blurry cellphone pics but you can't tell much from them.

He keeps going out and trying to see it again but hasn't had any luck. I told him from now on when I pick him up and drop him off it will be BEFORE dark. Otherwise, he's walking home. I took him home one night after dark and drove home with the certain knowledge that I would be Bigfoot food that very night. They live on a well site service road out in the middle of literal NO WHERE. They don't have running water. They have to haul it. No internet (that would kill me). Hell they can't even get a phone line out there. They have to get their own propane for heating and lighting. But it's so beautiful. They grow and raise their own food.

I told my nephew that I shared his encounter with some folks on the internet. He wanted you all to know just how remote the location is and grabbed my camera to take some photos. So without further ado, here are the photos:

This is the road the connects to the main highway.



The road that leads to the well service road which goes to my he-who-must-not-be-named relative's home.



Getting further away from civilization.



Still going.



Yep. Not there yet.



How about them Bears?



Are we there yet?



Nope.



But I gotta pee!!



Finally.



Just to give you and idea of how remote this is.



The front yard.





The back yard.









Down this hill is where the garden is and where my nephew had his encounter. He still won't say it's a bigfoot. :p

(Newser) – Raise your hand if you've ever told a telemarketer "no thanks" and promptly hung up. Keep that hand raised if the telemarketer has then called back and threatened to blow up your home. That was apparently the situation in Mead, Colorado, last week, reports 7NEWS. "The telemarketer was explaining to him that he had won some money," says a police sergeant. "The homeowner was not interested and hung up the phone." But then the phone rang again, and the "pretty rude" telemarketer explained, "I've placed a bomb in your home."

Police, alerted after said homeowner called 911, took the call seriously, going so far as to evacuate neighboring homes. No bomb was found, and they're now trying to access the telemarketer's phone number—which could be a futile search. The homeowner told police the caller "had a very thick accent" and may have been phoning from overseas. If that was the case, local authorities can't do much more than alert the FBI. Hat tip to Gawker for the find.

(Newser) – Want to keep the drug police off your property? Don't sow your land with birdseed. That's what a 74-year-old German farmer says he did—and the bird food contained hemp seeds, resulting in an accidental 10-foot-high cannabis crop, Der Spiegel reports. He explained that he wanted to grow sunflowers, police said. "But because he didn't have any sunflower seeds, he instead scattered half a sack of old bird seed he had at home." He swears he didn't know he was growing pot. As the police watched, the farmer plowed up the 3,000-square-foot field.

The engine was making a mysterious hissing sound.
Marlene Swart, 38, and Leon Swanepoel, 51, were looking for lions in South Africa's Kruger National Park, the Mirror reports, when they stopped their car to speak with some other safari-goers.
They didn't get the king of the jungle, but they got something pretty close.
"We were informed there was a python in the grass," Swart told the Daily Mail. While the pair was trying to spot the snake, it "sailed out of the grass directly in our direction," she said.
The 16-foot snake made straight for their car, disappearing underneath the vehicle. After some trepidation, Swart and Swanepoel opened the hood to find the reptile "relaxing" on top of the engine.
The pair had no choice but to drive the three miles to the nearest look-out before attempting to remove the stowaway snake, according to the Sun.
Swart, Swanepoel, snake and car all got through the ordeal unharmed, although Swart admits she was "terrified."

"I'm only disappointed that I … didn't take more pictures," she said.

COOS BAY, OR (KPTV) - An Oregon man trying to feed his 700-pound hogs was eaten by the animals Thursday, and sheriff's deputies are trying to determine what led up to his death.

Terry Garner, who lived near the rural town of Riverton in southern Oregon, went to feed the animals on his farm at 7:30 a.m.

When he wasn't seen for several hours, a family member went to look for him, and found Garner's dentures on the ground in front of the hog enclosure, which housed several of the animals.

While searching the hog enclosure, the family member found Garner's body in several pieces, with a majority of it consumed by the hogs, the district attorney said.

Now deputies are investigating how Garner ended up in a position where the hogs were able to eat him.

District Attorney Paul Frasier said there are a number of possible scenarios, including one in which Garner suffered a heart attack. Another possible scenario is that given Garner's age and health, the hogs were able to knock him down and kill him. Frasier said there have been reports that at least one of the hogs had been aggressive toward Garner in the past.

Because of the unusual circumstances surrounding Garner's death, detectives haven't ruled out foul play.

A forensic pathologist examined what little was left of Garner's body over the weekend, but was not able to identify the cause or manner of death.

For now, Garner's cause of death is listed as undetermined, and his remains will be further examined by a forensic anthropologist at the University of Oregon.

[h=2]Pregnant With No Vagina[/h]

Omg. File this one under “WTF”. No don’t rub your eyes and readjust, you actually read the title right.
A woman showed up at a hospital in Lesotho, which is a small nation in Southern Africa. She was clearly in labour and ready to pop out a kid. But when the Doc’s put her in a room for examination, they found only a small skin dimple/recess where there should be a vagina. Doctor’s had seen her birth defect, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, but still baffled and obviously wanting to help the clearly pregnant woman, they delivered a perfectly healthy baby boy via Caesarean. Then the questions started.
I mean obvious questions. How TF is this woman preggo with no hint of a clamshell??? Upon further investigation, the staff found that she had been admitted into the hospital 278 days earlier for a knife wound. Average pregnancy is 280 days. Apparently the chick had been caught giving her new lover a BJ and got walked in by her jealous ex and a brawl ensued. Knife came out, tempers flared, and two stab wounds to the stomach later, she went to the hospital bleeding. Wait, no seriously, how did she get pregnant?

Well, it’s a relatively simple miracle, but still makes me hang my mouth open with shock. See apparently at the time, she was so wrapped up in the throws of passion she forgot to eat and had relatively low stomach acid. The stab wounds went straight through to her abdominal cavity, and because of the current “activities” immediately pre-stabbing, some little swimmers, nature’s little miracles, got into the wounds past the acid, found their way to a few reproductive organs, latched onto an egg, and bing bang boom, she was with child, but still without vagina.
So next time you straight people think “condom shmondom”, just know that if a knife and a BJ can get you pregnant, NOT USING A CONDOM DEFINITELY WILL!! USE A CONDOM! And don’t stab anyone for god’s sake! Wow, thank god I’m gay. Can a slap to the face with a limp wrist get you pregnant?

I didn't click on the link. So when I read this little tidbit I had a WTF moment. I had no clue you were quoting the article verbatim.

Bumping in anticipation of our forum-mate's return. This one belongs here. It's so many layers of awesome. cn

4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus
driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be
transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to
admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and
offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the
passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the
patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The
deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.
