Samsung Galaxy S4 Explodes!



Alright, I have an S4 and sure as hell hope my battery doesn't go snap, crack, POP!

Samsung's hottest smartphone got a little too hot for one man in Hong Kong.
The man, known only as Du, says a flaming Samsung Galaxy S4 torched his entire house, according to a report on Chinese website Xianguo.com.

Du claims that while playing the game "Love Machine" he was startled by a loud pop from the phone's battery. He says he reacted quickly and threw the phone onto a nearby sofa, which promptly caught fire. The flames spread and caused serious damage to the house. He and his wife were able to escape without injuries.

S'mores Cheesecake!

Today (7/30)  is National Cheesecake Day, so here is a little recipe to make S'mores Cheesecake. Endulge my friends!


From the Cheesecake Factory:
· Slices of your favorite cheesecake -  
  Hershey's® Milk Chocolate Bars
· Honey Maid® Graham Crackers
· Jumbo Marshmallows
Directions
1. Place the cheesecake slices into the freezer for several hours until they are "deeply chilled."
2. Remove the deeply chilled slices of cheesecake from the freezer and cut into squares approximately ¼" thick. Set aside.
3. Place 3 squares of Hershey's® Milk Chocolate onto a Graham Cracker square.
4. Use a crème brulée torch to carefully warm the Milk Chocolate until it starts to get "shiny" across the top (approximately 15 seconds.) (If you do not have a crème brulée torch microwave for a few seconds).
5. Cut a Jumbo Marshmallow into 1/3's and place one of the 1/3's (cut side "up") on top of the warmed Milk Chocolate.
6. Use a crème brulée torch to carefully toast the Marshmallow until it turns a nice toasted brown color (approximately 30 seconds.) Note: Use a small container lid to "out" the flame when the Marshmallow reaches the ideal color. (If you do not have a crème brulée torch microwave for a few seconds).
7. Place the deeply chilled Cheesecake square directly onto the toasted Marshmallow and immediately top with another Graham Cracker square.
8. Bon Appetit!

Seven-Foot Tall KFC Bucket!

What would YOU do if you came home to find a 7-foot tall Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket in your driveway? Check to see if it contains chicken legs of unusual size? Sorry, the reporter in front of the bucket doesn't come with.

Aleena Headrick of Waynesboro, Georgia spotted a strange sight in front of her home recently. Headrick told WAGT NBC 26 News, "I was driving by, I saw this giant Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket in my yard, and I thought for sure that I was hallucinating. So I called my teenagers who were at home and checked to, had them go outside." Headrick was not seeing things. There was in fact a huge 7-foot Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket in front of her house, and the family had no clue who it belonged to nor where it came from. The closest KFC is 5.5 miles away. The distinctive sign has already become a landmark in the area and people have stopped to take pictures with the beastly bucket. Headrick's landlord and owner of the home, Freddie Taylor. Taylor collects signs like this one and he thinks the bucket is an antique piece. He said, "That bucket right there, if you notice it, it don't say KFC. It says Kentucky Fried Chicken. That bucket's probably forty years old."

What Celebrity Spent $1500 On A Haircut?


What was the last thing you bought that cost $1500? I am willing to bet it didn't involve going to your hair stylist! Actress Reese Witherspoon recently spent exactly that when she got her hair done at a Rossano Ferretti Salon in Beverly Hills. The cut of course, uses the special "Ferretti Technique" which the salon has patented.

According to the salon's website, "Each strand of hair has its own structure and movement… With sensibility and care, the designer treats each strand its own way, in order to achieve the most natural effect. This belief is why haircuts by Metodo Rossano Ferretti are so subtly carved, to create a harmonious image each time. A haircut that is like a work of art."

Does that look like a $1500 haircut to you? For that matter, what the hell SHOULD a $1500 haircut look like?!

Taylor Swift Leaves A HUGE Tip

This goes to show you that some nights it really pays off to be a server or bartender!

According to news reports, Swift brough smiles to the faces at a Philadelphia restaurant with free tickets to her show as well as a $500 tip after she dined there. She made the stop following her appearance last Friday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Ralph’s Italian Restaurant was the lucky restaurant and its owner Edward Rubino, referred to Swift as an “amazing person” and “very approachable.”

According to reports, Swift came into the restaurant with her tour mates Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone around 11:30 p.m. and completed their dinner entrees around 2 a.m. They even took the time to take a photograph with the staff before leaving the eatery.

BMW Car-Pool...No...Literally A BMW With A Pool In It

Well first of all, I am a car guy. That being said, I am more specifically a BMW enthusiast. When I saw what these guys did to this BMW 3-Series I cringed a little. Making your car into a pool is a cool idea, but driving it around on public streets...not so much.


A BMW convertible first aroused the suspicions of a motorcycle cop on patrol in the eastern German town of Eibenstock when water sloshed out of it as it drove around a curve. When the officer pulled the car over, he could hardly believe his eyes.

In a police report released on Monday, he described encountering an "a convertible of a slightly different kind." The car had been converted into a swimming pool on wheels complete with a wooden railing and cheap floral decoration that could have come out of a chintzy Hawaiian hotel.

In addition to the driver, the officer also found two young men sitting inside in bathing suits and a third sitting on the trunk, dipping his feet in the "pool". The car reportedly only had one functioning gear, but could travel at speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour (15.5 mph). The vehicle was also lacking a license plate.

Jake Owen Nearly Lost His Fingers In The Go-Kart Accident!


Wow it was more serious than he made it out to be when the accident happened! I talked about this story the day Jake tweeted pics of his bandaged hand and now we know the full story!

“The doctor said it was like taking a cinderblock and dropping it on your hand,” he said. “So he had to suture the bones back up to even make it a bone and then put a screw in there to keep it together.”
The accident happened on a race track in North Carolina where he was racing at about 40 miles an hour with his buddies.

Jake said he was in a full racing suit and helmet when he spun and flipped his go-kart coming out of a corner.
“I was like, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine.’ But then I was like, ‘God, my hand hurts.’ Then I looked at my hand and the glove was just disintegrated. After seeing that, I was in shock,” he said.

Wedding Reception Brawl Over CHICKEN!



Isn't a wedding and all of the surrounding activities supposed to be the best experiences of your life?

How does something as silly as a piece of chicken come in between families?

A wedding reception in Norfolk, England, turned into a brawl when the best man pushed his way into the buffet line, police said.

The groom, Ben Smethurst, 26, said the fight began when his brother and best man, Danny, reached over a table for a piece of chicken.

Curt Hughes, the bride's uncle, yelled at the best man and then punched him, Smethurst said.
Hughes then punched the bride's sister, mother and father, the groom said.

The bride's sister, Krystel Coleman, was taken to the hospital with a broken nose and two black eyes, The Sun reported.

Toddler Buys Car On Ebay With Dads Smartphone


This is a good reason why you need to keep your cell phone away from your toddler.


This toddler is bound to be a thrifty spender. Fourteen-month-old Sorella Stoute has already made her first adult purchase — a 1962 Austin-Healey Sprite. While her dad wasn’t looking, the little girl used his smartphone to snag the car for a clean $225 on eBay.

Paul Stoute found out about Sorella’s spending habits when he got an email from eBay congratulating him on his purchase.

"Tap, tap, tap and now I own a car," Paul told KPTV.

Sorella has always been fond of clicking around on her dad’s phone. But the Portland, Ore., dad never expected his little one to accidentally open up his eBay app, scroll through recently viewed products, make a bid and win.

Man's Heart Restarts After Hitting A Pothole!


Generally crappy roads are just a paint the butt (and a vehicles suspension), however, for this guy that road  saved his life!

Ray Lee, 65, was exercising on a cross-trainer at home when his heart rate rocketed to a life-threatening 190 beats per minute. The retired operations manager had a crippling pain in his chest and was helped to his bedroom by wife Christine, 66, where he laid down on the bed.

But when his heart rate remained sky-high after an hour, she called an ambulance which arrived at their home in Wilton, Wilts, in four minutes. Paramedics placed him on a stretcher and set off on the five mile journey to Salisbury District Hospital under blue lights and siren.

On arrival, medics planned to give him an injection to stop his heart before restarting it with a shock. But as the ambulance raced along Netherhampton Road - just a few minutes from his home - it nose dived into a pothole. And the impact was so great Mr Lee's heart rate suddenly dropped back to a healthy 60 beats per minute.

Hitler Chicken Anyone?



Seriously. The dude in the logo is Hitler. Really?!

"Hitler" fried chicken better surrender its logo, because the Colonel's ready to fight.
Kentucky Fried Chicken told The Huffington Post Friday it may take "legal action" against a fried chicken shop named Hitler that sports a storefront emblem very similar to KFC's, only with Adolf Hitler's head replacing Colonel Sanders.

"We find it extremely distasteful and are considering legal action since it is an infringement of our brand trademark and has nothing to do with us," a spokesman for KFC parent Yum! told The Huffington Post in an email.

Just like the title says...

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that it happened early Sunday when a suspect used rocks to break several windows at Moeller High School, crawled in one of the windows and sprayed fire extinguishers around the building.

Hamilton County sheriff's deputies say 23-year-old Thomas Williams was wearing Spider-Man underwear when he was arrested. The 6-foot-5, 295-pound Kenwood man was charged with felony vandalism and breaking and entering.

Just be happy I didn't post a pic of this dude....I know you wanted to see it, but don't be mad. :)

Man Caught A Fish At Least Two-Hundred Years Old!


First of all, WOAH, look at that thing! That is one funky looking swimming machine.

An insurance adjuster from Seattle was fishing off the coast of Alaska when he pulled in this bad boy, a 39.08 pound rockfish that is believed to be at least 200 years old!

This ancient monster measured 41 inches, which smashed the old record set by a 32 and a half inch guppie. Really? Guppies get THAT big? With the 32 inch minnow being over 200 years old, one expert said there is reason to believe this latest catch is even older.

In fact, this record-breaking rockfish's birth may predate the US purchase of Alaska from Russia - in 1867.
The man plans to have the fish mounted. That's probably a good idea because 200 year old fish probably wouldn't be too tasty.  A sample was also sent to a lab in Juneau, the state capital, to help determine its age.
