Woman decides to swim with polar bears at the zoo

I have no idea what this woman was thinking. This weekend she decided to get closer to the polar bears at the zoo by jumpping over the fence and swimming closer to them. She realized this wasn't the best idea when the bears started biting and clawing her. The idiot eventually swam away as a crowd of people tried their best to rescue her. Luckily, it was all caught on tape.

What makes the video even better is that it's all in German! And kudos to the genius who throws in a life preserver at the end. Like that's going to do anything!

The lamb cake

As I mentioned on the air last week, we have a tradition in our family of having a lamb cake after each Easter dinner. No, it's not cake made from real lamb, it's a pound cake that is baked in a mold to look like a lamb. I'm sure it has some sort of symbolism, but as far back as I can remember our family just chops up this poor little lamb each year for dessert. Most years, the lamb is decorated with shaved coconut in an effort to look like a real lamb, but it actually resembles some sort of dog like creature. This year, I decided to go with chocolate. And, in hopes of freaking everyone out, I filled it with raspberry jelly so the lamb would look like it's bleeding when it was cut open. Hey, if I have to be a part of this tradition by baking some strange animal shaped cake I might as well make it memorable!

Instant classic video!

An investigative reporter visits a costume shop to interview a woman who's been charged with cyber-stalking. It seems as if the woman is taking whatever Bjork has been taking for the past two decades. What follows is one of the greatest investigative reports ever:


Fatty-Fat Friday!

Be in a parade with Google Maps


This little part of Pittsburgh obviously had a head's-up that the Google Maps van was coming to town, so they threw a mini-parade. Click the forward arrow to drive through the parade. Bonus: there's another surprise waiting a few yards past the parade on the right! Click here to navigate the parade yourself (wait for the street view to load)

Have a happy Easter!


Ordering fast food with a folk song

These guys visit a Taco Bell drive-thru and order their food by singing a folk song. The joke's on them when the worker keeps track of the food they order and charge them for it.
