Well, this is about the strangest medical condition I’ve ever seen. Full story here, video to follow:

I didn’t think it was possible, but the LaRouchies on campus have gotten crazier. For the uninitiated, the LaRouchies are members of the LaRouche Youth Movement, and followers of Lyndon LaRouche, who’s been running unsuccessfully for president of the United States for the past 500 years. Both LaRouche and his movement (some may call it a political cult; I may agree) are known for their rather…er, odd views on things, especially the economy. For instance, nearly everything wrong with the United States today is in some way a direct result of the nefarious actions of some long-dead British author or perhaps group of authors. I’m dead serious.
Anyways, the LaRouche Youth Movement is known for its presence on college campuses where lunacy isn’t yet banned. They’ll often have a little bench set up with posters on the side invariably calling for vice president Dick Cheney to be impeached. Or for him to receive a blow-job. Again, I’m serious here. Cheney’s also the anti-Christ. Or the devil. They also appear to dislike Al Gore and anything regarding global warming. As a result, I’m really not sure where to put them on a political spectrum. I suppose LaRouche might classify as a paleoconservative, but I’m not certain.
Read up more about LaRouche and his cult–er, movement–and you can see just how out there they can be. You may even ask, “How could they be worse?” I’ll tell you: by blaming the apparent death of the US economy on a conspiracy headed by MySpace, Facebook, and violent video games. And the cult of Wikipedia. Uh, what?
The funniest thing happened today. I woke up and climbed out of bed. The air pump for my fish tank was being loud, so I went over to whap it (it gets quieter after that). While over there, I notice the distinct absence of my fish in the fish tank. Now, this is without my glasses on. So, I immediately run over and put on my glasses and run back to the tank. Yep, no fish. By now, I’m mildly disturbed. What could have happened? I doubted that he was abducted by little fishy aliens, so the only thing that could have happened was that he jumped out. This is next to nearly impossible because the tank is covered with the only opening being an equilateral triangle with inch-long sides. However, I’d seen him try once before when he was in “freak-out” mode. So I begin searching the floor, after, of course, alerting my parents to the disappearance of a perfectly good fish. My dad eventually finds the poor bugger stuck to the back of a magazine, right in the middle of a splash of milk on a “got milk?” ad. He was very dead by that time, considering he had most likely made his jump in the middle of the night. Well, perhaps a little after, I was still up at midnight.
Whatever the case, I promptly went out and bought another fish, along with bottled water and some water-conditioning tablets. I know people who have had Betta fish for 4 years, so why can’t mine last past a few months? Damn suicidal fish…
OMGWTF, TMI, LOL
This has got to be the single strangest thing I have ever seen posted on the Internet, not counting images.
I came across this on Reddit (that’s right, Digg is lame, and not just because of this kind of thing) and here is the original link.
And for further evidence of the awesomeness of Reddit, refer to the following comments on an article called Proposal to erect XXX domain faces stiff opposition (even the name…):
Priceless.
