Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by ohryankelley at 4:48 PM ESTMore than 200,000 people around the world came together last week on November 12th to break some wacky records on the fifth annual Guinness World Records Day. The highlight and feel good story of the day was the impressive comeback of Manjit Singh, the man who broke a world record for the furthest distance to pull a double-decker bus with hair in Battersea Park, London. Back in November 2007, Singh's record breaking dreams were dashed when he failed to break the record for furthest distance to pull a double-decker bus with the ears which makes his comeback this year even sweeter. Take a look at this hair-raising feat in the video below courtesy of The Telegraph: Updated: Friday, 20 November 2009 4:59 PM EST Log in to Comment | Permalink Thursday, 19 November 2009Best Pet: Kiwi The Potbellied Pig

Posted by ohryankelley at 5:56 PM ESTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Ampgal2 of Burlington, KY. Meet her adorable potbellied pig Kiwi! Distinguishing Personality Traits Ampgal2 had this to say about her friend: "This is Kiwi, my little Vietnamese pot belly pig. She is almost 3-weeks-old and is such a cutie pie, but quite a handful! She gets along great with the other animals in the house but one thing we found out is that she likes to nibble on your toes when you least expect it. And anytime anyone runs from her she will chase them. She is a great addition to the family! " Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Win up to $500 and check out Super Chef today! Useless Fact! Ahheck's hometown of Deerfield Beach, FL, recently was home to a strange and odd occurrence where two South Florida banks are now recovering from damages after two cars crashed into them within minutes of each other. Authorities say the first crashed happened around 1:20 p.m. at a Washington Mutual in Deerfield Beach. The Broward Sheriff's Office says an elderly woman accidentally hit the gas, ran over a curb and hit the bank's facade. About 20 minutes later, another elderly woman in Deerfield Beach lost control of her car and drove into a Wachovia. Read the full story at WWSB ABC 7 Florida.
