9-year-old boy says ‘It’s ok I practice on video games’ after driving family car

If a car’s driving down the street and it looks like there’s no one driving it, what would you do?  Would you call the police or go about your business knowing you’d sound stupid?  Well one lady chose the former.  She didn’t know that there was a confident 9-year-old boy behind the wheel of that car on his way to grandma’s house.

Police found the car in the parking lot of a convenience store, where he was asking a store clerk for directions.  The police spokesman said that the car was nicely backed into the parking space.  When questioned by police, the boy responded by saying, “It’s ok, I practice on video games.”

Poor kid.  All he wanted to do was go to his grandmother’s house.

Thanks DailyMail!

Young Democrats to give birth to ‘Obama Babies’?

Apparently, there was a whole lot going on Tuesday night apart from Obama winning the Presidential election.  Apparently, social networking sites like Twitter revealed that not only were people running down their neighborhood streets, but some were expressing some election night passions, giving rise to speculation that maternity wards in blue states would be unusually busy in nine months time.

The phrase “Obama Baby” has already been indentified and defined by Urban Dictionary.

“A child conceived after Obama was proclaimed President by way of celebratory sex, or any baby born under Barack Obama’s term(s),” is the entry.

It helpfully adds an example of its use: “I was born July 2009. I’m an Obama baby!”

Well, guess we’ll be keeping a close eye on the raise in population nine months from now.  You guys think this theory’s going to hold true?

Oxford gives us the top ten most irritating phrases

We don’t know how Oxford comes up with a list like this, but hey, they’re beyond Ivy League so we’ll allow it.  Apparently, number one “at the end of the day” is more irritating than “fairly unique,” which is number two.

Check out the complete list below and tell us what you think should make the list that didn’t and even ones that made the list that “shouldn’t of”.

Photo: NYC bum needs money to get drunk so women can take him home

We were strolling through Manhattan and happened to walk by this happy-go-lucky chap.  He seems like he’s going places in life.  Apparently, he needs some money to “get drunk so women can take him home and molest him.”  He’s telling people to find him on “www.who’s your daddy.com” We didn’t know domains had apostrophes in them.

Check the image below and let us know if you know any women that are looking to take this guy home and molest him.

Get a close up after the jump.

Not so smart: Spelling error in Cambridge University parking sign

Cambridge University, consistently ranked in the world’s top 5 universities, doesn’t have the brightest people working for its parking department.  There was an obvious error of the word “college” in the parking sign outside of a parking lot on campus, leaving us wondering if the folks at Cantab are as smart as they say they are.

Cambridge resident Filippo Schiannini, 37, took a photograph of the sign.  “The sign made me chuckle,” said Schiannini, who is an IT consultant.  “Cambridge prides itself on its literary past so its very funny to see such a simple error emblazoned on such a famous college.”

Thanks Telegraph!

Man’s hand sucked in after reaching in toilet for dropped cell phone

When you’re on a high-speed train or on an airplane, the suction skills of the toilet in the back are obvious.  Apparently, one man that actually dropped his phone in the potty got a hands-on experience.  His hand was sucked in for good and it took a two-hour emergency stop to rescue him.

The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.  Then they had to saw the toilet off to free him.  Now that’s an experience.

Thanks Gizmodo!

Fan pays $350K for a crashed DBS from Quantum of Solace that’s worth $230K brand new

For a car that’s worth only $230,000 brand new, why would anyone want to pay $120,000 more for it after it plunged into a lake in northern Italy?  We’ll never know, but one “lucky” fan bought the Aston Martin DBS that was used in Quantum of Solace for $350,000 after it’s been hit with flood damage and a given a genuine “top-down” treatment (see pic above).

There were six of these used in this year’s Bond movie, and we’re pretty sure none of them made it back to Aston Martin in one piece.

Vodafone’s Official Marketing Material for BlackBerry Storm looks pretty familiar

Any of this look familiar?  Some of the peanut brains over at Vodafone released this marketing material that reminds us of another touch screen contraption out on the market.  A digital cookie goes to anyone that can guess it right!

Haven’t heard of the BlackBerry Storm?  Well, our apologies.  It’s going to be BlackBerry’s first touchscreen phone, and it’s looking like it’ll be worth the wait when it drops next month for Verizon. It’s an international powerhouse - features EV-DO Rev. A, quadband EDGE, and 2100 MHz HSPA for Europe.  It’s got a 3.26-inch 480×360 glass screen, and includes a full HTML finger navigable browser, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint editing capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, internal store of 1GB and it even comes with an 8GB microSD.

Thanks engadget!
