Good Parent, Bad Driver
The perils of parenting apparently can be discovered through a classroom project. In Pleasanton, a teen crashes her car when her school parenting dolly begins to cry.
A startled 17-year-old girl swerved her car into a freeway guardrail and slammed into a pickup truck after the realistic-sounding baby doll in her care suddenly began to cry.
The teenager had just picked up the doll as part of a school project on responsible parenting minutes before the accident occurred Tuesday on I-580, said Steve Creel, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.
The educational doll cries and wets itself and has a recording device that monitors how long it takes the doll’s “parent” to respond to its crying.
The girl, whose named was not released because of her age, was driving around 65 miles per hour in a Mini Cooper when the fake baby sprang to tears, causing her to crash into the guardrail and swerve back onto the freeway where she hit a Ford F-350 pickup truck.
“When officers arrived, she was still caring for the baby,” Creel said.
No one was seriously injured in the crash, but the CHP will pursue charges because the girl was driving without a license, he said.
Why are they killing all those whales in iceland?
This is the most bizarre scene (from Iceland) I have come across in my life and this question still worries me that why are they killing them? Is it because of any disease? Commercial interests? We know that their meat is in high demand in some European countries and even Japan. Or is it the mere lust for killing as a sport? Whatever it is… these pictures are disturbing as they are not being done in secrecy but in broad daylight! The below picture tells me that it is some kind of a festival or why are so many people gathered?

5 Of The Most Bizarre Insurance Claims
Frozen squirrels, flying cows, invisible roundabouts and dogs with flatulence are some of the more freaky insurance claims around. Even house insurance isn’t always as straightforward as a leaking roof – how about roof damage caused by the downdraft of helicopter blades? It may sound like Mission Impossible but there are plenty of insurance claims that take the biscuit.
1) Monkey business
Travelling can be full of adventure and of course exotic animals. Once more animals trump the top of the list when it comes to bizarre insurance claims – even when we’re on our holidays.
- One traveller’s imagination went wild when he asked his insurer if his travel insurance would cover any lost limbs in the event of a polar bear attack.
- Fraudulent claims include one couple blaming the apes on the rock of Gibraltar for pinching their camcorder – they later admitted they dropped it.
- One woman took her eye off the ball when she claimed five times for the loss of the same eye after various made-up mishaps.
2) Furry friends
Forget humans, pets suffer from strange afflictions too. Some pet insurance claims aren’t as straightforward as a flea infection. Narcolepsy and flatulence are some of the more unusual ailments to bother our pooches. Although you’d be forgiven in thinking constant sleeping and flatulence were a given when it came to canine behaviour.
But the more unusual the complaint, the more costly it is to treat as it’s harder to diagnose than a straightforward dose of fleas.
3) Drive on the wild side
Even if it’s not some mysterious illness afflicting the nation’s animal population, they still get the blame for human trial and error. According to one top car insurer, freak animal accidents are one of the main causes of blame in bizarre insurance claims.
- A frozen squirrel got the heat for falling from a tree and breaking one driver’s windscreen.
- One herd of poor cows were pinned for licking paintwork from a car.
- Santa Claus must have been having an off day, but according to one parked motorist, a reindeer fell on his bonnet.
- A rather exotic case involved a zebra colliding with a car – in a safari park.
- Even the insect world is to blame – a wasp flew down one man’s trousers causing him to prang the car in front.
4) The cheek of it
Dubious claims against local authorities include a man insisting on a new pair of pants, after he claimed the closure of a bus station toilet led to him soiling his trousers.
One shoplifter even tried to sue after she fell down the stairs fleeing from the scene of a crime, and one motorist insisted he didn’t see the roundabout, despite the rather visible tree that featured in the middle of the roundabout.
5) Cat on a hot tin roof
One of the more unusual house insurance claims also involves our four-legged friends. A pet cat was sick on a TV and caused a house fire after the TV caught light. The property was seriously smoke damaged after Felix the cat’s unfortunate vomiting. Felix’s owner was left temporarily homeless, but don’t worry, Felix escaped from the fire unharmed.

A postal clerk wants to be a stand-up comedian for one night. A businessman wants to drive a freight train across a western State. A psychiatrist wants 20 dates on 20 weekends with 20 girls from 20 different countries. How do they do it? They see a fantasy broker whose business is making dreams come true. Originally pioneered in Chicago by an advertising executive, fantasy firms in several cities now do a booming business, charging from $150 to thousands to turn dreams into reality.
This is the perfect job for solitary types with no fear of heights and the ideal opportunity to write the great American novel. The job consists of manning a tower in a national park or forest preserve and watching for signs of fire. It can be lonely work; for years the Forest service sought newlywed couples for this job. Pay is based on civil service wage levels (starting around $6,000) and includes generous health benefits. Author Jack Kerouac did this.
An Oklahoma City man makes a living finding unusual things for people–like a pair of fleas dressed as bride and groom, a baseball signed by Jim Thorpe in 1933, and a client’s missing brother. Finders Keepers, Inc., was started by an ex-advertising agency employee who discovered he had a knack for finding odd props for TV commercials. “I have always been able to locate the rare and unusual with an uncanny facility,” he says. “Suddenly it dawned on me that I could capitalize on my ability.” Finders Keepers will look for anything, provided it’s legal. The company’s manager boasts a high success rate; however, he’s still looking for an electric clock motor that runs backward.
Sorts through baby chicks to determine if they are male or female, and then segregate them. The chicken sexer puts the chicken hatchlings on the appropriate track early, enabling those chickens to receive optimal nourishment for their likely commercial role from an early age.
If you like to play cards, are manually dexterous, and hate working a 9-to-5 day, you have the qualifications for a casino card dealer. Contrary to the stereotyped shady gambler myth, casinos prefer to hire responsible people, train them carefully, and pay them middle-class incomes. Gambling is a business, and dealers are business representatives. One ex-bank teller started dealing blackjack as the result of a Las Vegas vacation. “Dealing,” she says, “is like bank work. You handle money and you’re on your feet all day. But the pay is better, the atmosphere is exciting, and the hours are flexible.” Where to apply? Las Vegas. Or Reno. Or anywhere else that gambling is legal.
Sweeps are respected professionals in Europe, with an official uniform–black funeral suits, top hats, and turban–that reflects the romantic image of the trade. Sweden’s sweeps (both men and women) must serve a 2-year apprenticeship before being licensed to practice. The occupation is almost nonexistent in the U.S., but one Southern California sweep, formerly in the beauty supply business, charges $25 per 1 1/2-to-2-hour cleaning job and plans eventually to have sweeps all over Los Angeles working for him. “Chimneys in Southern California are terribly neglected,” he says. “There are just no sweeps to clean them.”
