WTF (that's awesome!) Wednesday, Vol. 003

Work has been pretty tough lately, so I decided to have a twist on my usual "WTF Wednesday" and focus more on stories that make you go "WTF, that's awesome!" Hope these stories help put you in a better mood, too.

1. Slain British marine leaves friends $163,000 to party in Vegas
That's sooo awesome! I mean, of course, it sucks that this soldier passed away in combat. But how awesome that he left a great deal of his money to charity as well as making sure his friends has a good time even if he wasn't able to join them.

2. TBD

3. This isn't a news story, just a personal one. I'm flying to Nicaragua tonight for the long weekend to visit my grandmother and other relatives. It's gonna be a super fast trip -- we come back on Sunday! But it's still a nice way to spend a few days, even if it'll be a short time for a long trip.

WTF Wednesday

A few news stories to get you through your Wednesday:

1. Abercrombie & Fitch will pay the Situation NOT to wear their clothes
LOL, that's how you know you've made it in reality TV

2. Tampa student arrested in school bomb plot
Seriously, people? This is so 1999. Can't we all just get along??

3. Swedish house up for sale, complete with skeleton
I guess it's a seller's market over there? Best Halloween party everrrr.

WTF Wednesday, Vol. 003

Here are a few interesting stories to help you get through the rest of the week. Ahh, the joys of living in LA:

1. Who Knew LA's red-light camera fines were 'voluntary'?

WTF! You mean to tell me that people who were issued the almost $500 ticket were not required to pay? That is the biggest waste of time, money, and resources I have ever heard. Way to go, LA.

2. Woman Allegedly Pulls Baby From Stroller, Slams Him Against Truck

Hey, she was just trying to break his arm off so she could eat it. Duh.

WTF Wednesday, Vol. 002

Today's edition of "WTF Wednesday" is all about family love:

Mom Tries to Sell Baby at Taco Bell

Hey, let's look at the bright side. At least she was trying to give her baby a better life by auctioning her off at this fine establishment. Better than reading about a baby found in a dumpster, no?

Aaaaand in case you needed another reason not to have a baby:

Teen Killed Parents; Hid Bodies During House Party

WTF! I guess these parents should have spent a little more time entertaining the idea of letting their kid have a get-together? I wonder what he would've done if they'd grounded him... *shudder*
Raising a normal kid is hard, y'all.

WTF Wednesday

Welcome to WTF Wednesday. This series is dedicated to any shocking/crazy news stories that I may stumble upon. We'll kick off the series with a tie: the titles are pretty self-explanatory.

Baby boom! 16-lb Newborn May Set Texas Record

 

OMG. Don't doctors induce women who may be carrying ridiculously large babies? Look at him, poor thing doesn't even have a neck! I bet he left one nasty scar on his momma.
In case you all needed any more birth control supplement, the largest baby on record weighed over 23 lbs. Oww.

Florida Couple on Trial After Pet Python Kills Child

 

WTF. So many questions. First of all, why do you have a pet python? Secondly, why isn't that pet python on lockdown when you have small children?? Wait, there are TWO snakes in the house?? Oh hell nah... can we get Child Protective Services over here please? And why did it take 2 years for these people to be put on trial?
Also, I'm not trying to knock teenage mothers... but maybe this 2-year old's 19-year old mother was a tad bit in over her head trying to care for her child, exotic pets, and delicious boyfriend. Just sayin.
