Listener Submission: Fun dragonfly whistle!

Boris,
My son picked this up in a store while we were upstate over the Labor Day weekend. I guess it's supposed to be a whistle but I couldn't imagine watching him play music with this thing. I thought you'd like to post it up on your website. My wife and I love the show every morning!

Birds compose a song

A musician saw a photo of birds sitting on wires in a local paper and thought that they looked strangely like musical notes... so he played them. Guess what? The birds composed a pretty neat song!

What did I find in my backyard? I'm scared!

This weekend I found this lying right in the middle of my yard:


It appears to be some sort of dead animal that is severely decomposed. It kind of looks like a bat, but it's way too big and has a huge leg bone. It could be a rabbit or small turkey, but how did it get there? My wife thinks a snake regurgitated it after digesting the flesh. If that's true, I'm not stepping foot outside ever again because that's one big-ass snake!!! Do you have any idea what this could be and what killed it?

Jerry Lewis does it again

I was discussing on the air how much I love the Jerry Lewis Telethon every Labor Day Weekend. Not because of the amazing jugglers or tap dancers, but because of that angry sonovabitch Jerry. He's a cranky old coot that makes racist, homophobic and wildy inappropriate comments that would get anyone else kicked off of national television... but somehow he stays on the air year after year pretending to cry while singing "You'll Never Walk Alone".

This year he didn't call anyone the F-Word, but he did put down one of his sponsors and get a lap dance from Charo. Here's the video.

What's in the big egg?

What happens when you find a bigger than usual egg underneath your chicken? You crack it open and find out why it's so big...

Indian man can blow up balloons with his ear

You know this guy didn't stop at the ear... I wonder what other body parts he has attempted to blow balloons up with?
