If a piano plays in the woods, but no one hears it, does it really play at all?
Perhaps only the trees know in Massachusetts..
Police find a perfect working piano in the woods--with a matching bench..
It took more than a half dozen men to load it onto a truck to remove it..

Goobye Wacko Jacko .. hello Mikaeel?
Photo: REUTERS
Reports this weekend that Michael Jackson has converted to Islam at a friend's house..
Jackson was raised Jehovah's Witness.. Supposedly, an imam was summoned to a depressed Michael Jackson, where he converted to the religion.. Jermaine Jackson beat him to the punch, though, converting back in 1989 -- Michael Jackson, according ot the TIMES ONLINE report, says that Michael Jackson was interested since then..
So while the Jehovah faith may have last a member, they won't get hurt too much. The chances that Michael Jackson went door to door promoting the WATCHTOWER is implausible..
And they may have lost a member, but they gained a new one: The Singer Prince (or symbol) is a Jehovah's Witness and is going door to door to preach the word ..
Take the good with the bad.. Who would you rather have in your religion??

The Schmuck and Schmuck-ette of the week: Sarah and that strange guy behind her
You thought I would only name Sarah Palin, didn't you? Nah.. the guy behind her too. He's the unnamed Schmuck of the Week..
No story .. The odd photo op of Sarah Palin .. filmed in front of turkeys being slaughtered as she spoke about Thanksgiving and other interesting issues facin' the people of Alaska..
Palin the center of complete and total mockery this week as she was interviewed at a turkey farm.. as the background images were taken up by a really crazy looking guy killing turkeys..
It's the type of video that someone has to truly see to believe. .and when you see it you'd think it was a scene of a NAKED GUN film. This is real? This really happened? This really went down .. like that?
Attention PETA. . you have your ad campaign handed to you on a silver platter.. and attention Alaskans: Perhaps someone there will get a turkey that was slaughtered behind Sarah Palin..
Sarah, you could have easily been the sole schmuck.. but fortunately for you a strange man existed behind you, holding turkeys in a large grinder until they died..
Thanksgiving 2008.. Eat up.

Oh Good Lord.. Palin Tricked by Sarkozy Imposter
Comedian convinces Sarah Palin that he is French President Nicolas Sarkozy!
Palin spoke to Marc-Antoine Audette for about six minutes before the comedian identified himself, and she ended the call. “Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you,” Palin tells the imposter, who tells her he hoped she will be president one day. "Ha ha, maybe in eight years," she responded. Audette, as Sarkozy told Palin that hunting was one of his favorite activities. "Oh, very good, we should go hunting together," Palin replied, adding, "I think we could have a lot of fun together as we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way." "I just love killing those animals! Taking away life, that is so fun," said the fake French president. Palin laughed. The prankster told her that he'd love to go hunting, as long as "we don't bring Vice President Cheney." "I'll be a very careful shot, don't worry," says Palin, with another laugh. Added Audette: "You know we have a lot in common also because from my house I can see Belgium." "Yes, see, we are all right next door to other countries that we need to be working with," said Palin.
Be afraid...

THE BACKWARDS 'B' CON JOB
CBS NEWS/AP
While she may not be the Schmuck of the week by its best definition, she is the prevaricator of the week. Yesterday, when the Drudge Report led the site on Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old McCain volunteer that claimed she was attacked, and that a B was carved on her face, other websites picked it up. Even the SCHMUCKRAKER made reference to it in its random rakings section yesterday.. But now it turns out, as some online suspected, the story of Ashley Todd has gone down in flames .. it was false, according to police investigating the incident.
Perhaps the backwards B should have.. well, tipped everyone off?
She told police Wednesday that she was attacked by a black male.. Today she can't explain why she made the story up.. AP suggests that police were initially suspicious, again, because the B on her face was backwards.
She says that she doesn't remember carving the B on her own face, but admits that she must have since the rest of the mugging/mutilation story was false..
A morbidly twisted tale, the ends even more on the morbid note.. My hope is that she makes a quick recovery, and that she has mental analysis done. And that the media leaves her family alone--and leaves her alone.
Something about this story is very sad...The other interesting aspect of the Ashley Todd story: Drudge vs Wonkette.. Wonkette won.
Can't wait for this election to end. It's been weird.

In the worst of times.. grab a friend and .. cuddle!?
No one believes me. They are having "cuddling parties" across America.. Perhaps it's the bad economic news.. Maybe the lack of real love and an overload of computers across the world? Perhaps, in the end, people just .. want to cuddle up and touch another human being? But it's very real. And very cuddly..
"It's a human need," said Weinstein-Moser, 49, of Dublin, Bucks County, who introduced the phenomenon to the region last fall. She was smitten after attending her first in 2005, where she discovered she was a natural. Now a certified cuddle facilitator (training price tag: $1,490), Weinstein-Moser throws parties as far as Maryland and North Jersey. It costs $40 to attend$40 per person!? Where do I learn this!?
Cuddle Parties do not claim to offer therapy or even massage, but do tout the benefits of tactile contact. Not everyone, though, is convinced that what happens at the hugfests can deliver health benefits. The American Massage Therapy Association has little love for Cuddle Parties. "We really have no idea if there's any value in the kind of massage they provide at these things," said Ron Precht, communications manager for the Chicago-area groupI'm not sold on this. As a matter or fact, it's plain out creepy to me. A 50 year old man .. cuddled up next to me rubbing my shoulders.. as i cuddle the back of someone in front of me.. And combined the three of us paying $120 bucks.. Not my version of a fun Saturday night. And plain weird..

Is this real? Video of "Obama youth" hits web
The Obama Youth movement has begun? Last week, I criticized kids singing for Obama, and now this week, if the above video is true, I condemn that in outright terms... The video makings its way across the net tonight, thanks to the Drudge Report and World Net Daily..
Frightening stuff.. Again, if it's real, and true. I'm sure we'll hear more about this ..

The Schmuck of the week: The Drunken Cow Sent to Jail
AP Photo/Middletown Ohio Police department via Dayton Daily News
Michelle Allen, 32, was arrested in Ohio for disorderly conduct, which included public urination, chasing children while drunk while wearing a cow suit, and in her rampage screaming obscenities..
She was a theme park employee, which explains the suit. And she wasn't wearing anything under her cow suit, and was forced to wear the suit for her prison mugshot.
And reports (really, I'm not making this up) from the jailhouse: While she was sobering up before her court appearance, she was yelling "suck my udders"..
I have to say I feel bad for Allen a little bit. While I never dressed as a cow and yelled for people to suck my udders, I probably did stupid or weird things when I was drunk.
Even more, Michelle Allen now has this on her record--a now very public record. The story has made it around the world due to the odd nature of the situation. A woman dressed as a cow, urinating in public..
A sad schmuck of the week.
But what I want to know, when she was urinating, was there an opening somewhere? Or did it just flow out of an udder?Labels: crime, Odd, Offbeat, Schmuck of the Week

On Thursday officials said that the collider malfunctioned within hours of its launch to great fanfare, but its operator didn't report the problem for a week.. Breath easy.

NO SHOCKER: BIGFOOT TESTS FAIL
No surprise.. Bigfoot fails DNA tests..
No proof that the object or costume photographed and released was Bigfoot.. In a way, this makes me feel better. Just knowing that the real Bigfoot is out there .. somewhere .. casually walking through the woods .. strutting his stuff in the forest world.
He won't be caught. Either because it's too smart.. or just merely because his existence is only within the imaginations of people that want to believe. Of course, Bigfoot believers that really want to believe are the minority. There are, after all, aliens amongst us. Just look at Michael Phelps..

DING DONG BIGFOOT'S DEAD! I'm not buying it
AFP/www.searchingforbigfoot.com
I want to believe in Bigfoot.
I really do..
Ever since I was a kid watching UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, or SIGHTINGS, or other shows about oddities and otherworldly creatures walking among us..
But while I want to believe, I'm not convinced. I'm at heart a skeptic about quite a lot of things.. I even doubt things I believe in, often questioning myself about my own beliefs. Maybe I'm just a little off the deep end.
But I never saw Bigfoot.. Or did I?
Two men say they did see Bigfoot..
What's more, the two men claim they found the body of Bigfoot!
Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer told questioning and skeptical reporters at a news conference today that they found the mighty Yetti while hiking in Georgia..
One expert quoted by the AFP said, "I'm extremely skeptical about this bigfoot claim," he said. "What I've seen so far is not compelling in the least, and I think the pictures cast grave doubts on their claim. It just looks like a costume with some fake guts thrown on top for effect."For the record, when I searched You Tube for a video of the press conference today, I found something very different. . watch it at your leisure. And dream on, maybe the Sasquatch is out there.. somewhere.. waiting to truly be caught:

When in Wisconsin, don't have sex with dead people
No, really. It's illegal. You may have already known it's completely reprehensible.. But now it's illegal. Three men dug up a woman that died a week earlier in an auto accident, all in order for one of them to have sex with the corpse.. The Grant County Circuit Court dismissed the charges after agreeing with the defendants' interpretation of the law that sexual assault is not applicable to a dead person unless the defendant was responsible for the death of the victim..
The state Supreme Court weighed in, voting 5-2 that reversed the lower court decision .. The high court ruled that it's a crime because there is no consent from the victim.
How 'bout the fact that it's a dead body!
All of the grave diggers were 22.. Their intentions were obvious.
Authorities said that a passing driver saw the incident happening.. before they have the chance to do their deed.
And now with the Supreme Court decision, sex with the dead is banned in the state..Labels: crime, Disgusting, News, Odd, Random rakings

You didn't hear it here first, and believe me, I am fine with that.
Verne Troyer, normally up to being mocked for his miniature size in the AUSTIN POWERS movies and other films, is suing TMZ.COM over their broadcast and upload of .. a sex tape!
Apparently it is true that all Hollywood stars have a sex tape.. But the fact that Verne Troyer has one is a little shocking.
A little.

TOM CRUISE UNPLUGGED
The Church of Scientology tried to unplug video of Tom Cruise ever so excited about Scientology .. They attempted to use copyright law to keep the video from becoming .. *here's that annoying term again* .. "viral."But online you can't stop the floodgates .. BBC, You Tube, Live Leak, ITN, and other sites are now carrying clips of the video, or links to external sources that contain the video.. In the 9 minute Cruise unplugged video, he speaks about Scientology to the theme song of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. Some are describing the video as "freakish".. It has spawned humor on late night programs desperate for material with the writers strike..
The video is a marketing attempt by the Church .. Cruise's words are being studied and mocked by many..
The floodgates have opened. And Tom Cruise is up to his eyes in the feeding frenzy.
What is he saying anyway? The MISSION IMPOSSIBLE music was distracting..

Dead man signing
CAN YOU TRUST YOUR FRIENDS!? You do? Maybe a story like this will make you change your mind? The following info from the New York TIMES: "Even for the once-notorious Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, it may have been a first: Two men were arrested on Tuesday after pushing a corpse, seated in an office chair, along the sidewalk to a check-cashing store to cash the dead man’s Social Security check, the police said. When Virgilio Cintron, 66, died at his apartment at 436 West 52nd Street recently, his roommate and a friend saw an opportunity to cash his $355 check, the police said. They did not go about it the easy way, the police said, choosing a ruse that resembled the plot of “Weekend at Bernie’s,” a film about two young men who prop up their dead employer to pretend that he is alive." God bless America.
