Seriously, crazy. Josh Muszynski, a guy living in New Hampshire, went to a gas station to buy a pack of smokes. He swiped his depit card at the register and went on his way.

A few hours later, Muszynski checks his Bank of America account online and has a $15 overdraft fee for the pack of smokes. Turns out, he was charged $23,148,855,308,184,500 for the cigarettes. THAT IS OVER A QUADRILLION DOLLARS! To put that into perspective, the full on national debt is $11 trillion. So this is way more than that!

Anyway, he got it all sorted out, so that's good. But still, pretty funny. And how the hell does that happen anyway? Can you even type that many numbers into a card swiping machine? And if you can, shouldn't the machines then have a function with a pop up window that says "Trillion. Are you sure?!" Because really. That's a very large mistake.

Apparently, a badger in Germany got WASTED on over-ripe cherries... totally and completely drunk. At which time the badger stumbled into the middle of a road and refused to move, said police.

The police tried to scare the animal away to no avail and eventually ended up chasing it off the road with a broom.

Hm. Drunk badger. Nice. Wonder if the badger looked like the cute one above, or the rather scary and evil one below...??

Look at this fucking hipster

So, here we are, another hialrious site where people submit stuff and the owners make fun of it. LOVES IT!

Looks like a bat may have tried to hitch a ride into space on the Space Shuttle Discovery on Sunday.

Don't think the bat made the entire journey... Flight Director Paul Dye said "I heard that it was clinging to the tank at liftoff, but I don't think anyone has seen it since."

Above is a closeup of a bat clinging to the fuel tank of the shuttle during its launch. Awww... the little guy's kind of cute.

Amusing. What? They couldn't give the little guy a seat inside the shuttle?!

Nice.

According to the LA Times, Bob Dylan has a porta-potty on his property that's stinking up the neighborhood in Malibu. 

Cindy Emminger (another resident) said the stench made her and her 8 year old son sick. She said "It started in September. I'd go into the frontyard and get nauseous. I couldn't figure out at first where the smell was coming from. ... I finally noticed that they had moved the porta-potty directly in front of my front door."

That sucks. Apparently the porta-potty is for Dylan's employees - what? They can't take a dump inside? 

Malibu officials can't comment on all this junk because they're currently investigating the complaints. 

It's Bob Dylan. Having his staff who work in a little guard shack on his property using a porta-potty. Why can't he just have a real bathroom installed? Where do they wash their hands? Ew.

This amuses me, because I didn't think states could just decide something like this. HA!

On Slashdot, the Bad Astronomer wrote: "The legislators in Illinois, always on the lookout for more places to find voters, have passed a resolution declaring Pluto is a planet. I'm not sure what else can be said here, except that - besides overstepping their jurisdiciton just a wee bit - they make a couple of scientific howlers in the resolution itself."

This is so funny... here you go:

RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that as Pluto passes overhead through Illinois' night skies, that it be reestablished with full planetary status, and that March 13, 2009 be declared "Pluto Day" in the State of Illinois in honor of the date its discovery was announced in 1930.

WHEREAS, Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of the planet Pluto, was born on a farm near the Illinois community of Streator.

HAHAHA! So, in Illinois, the whole "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pancakes" thing still works for remembering the planets! Awesome! Everywhere else, mothers serve NOTHING, as Pluto doesn't count anymore. 

So Juan Zamora pulled into a gas station on Tuesday to fill up his Camaro. After pumping his gas, he used his PayPal debit card and... the charge for his gas was $81,400,836,908. That's $81 BILLION!!!!

That would be a BIG oops and apparently, nobody knows how this GIGANTIC glitch happened! WTF?! 

So Zamora called customer service for PayPal and apparently had to argue about the bill. Zamora said "Like I had to prove that I didn't pump $81,400,836,908 in gas." What a pain in the ass! I'd be pissed if someone questioned whether or not I pumped $81 billion worth of gas. Seriously. 

WTF?! I'm sorry, but if your going to be rob people of their stuff, you have to posses at least half a brain.

Here's a bit from this article:

A bungling Australian car thief was nabbed after accidentally locking himself in the vehicle he was trying to steal, police said Wednesday.

"The man, while breaking into the car, had locked himself in the car and couldn't get out," South Australian police said, adding a second thief was found hiding in nearby bushes.

Really? I didn't think you could really lock yourself in a car - at least not if you're of normal intelligence. Locking yourself out, sure, we've all done that. But IN?! That's just plain stupidity.

Ummm... what? Yeah.

A little boy (under 2 years of age) who is part of the Munda tribe in Indiana was married to a neighbor's dog to stop him from being killed by wild animals. Apparently the boy grew a tooth on his upper gum which the Munda tribe sees as a bad omen, thinking it makes the young children prone to attachs by tigers and other wild animals. 

The boy's father, Sanarumala Munda, said "We performed the marriage because it will overcome any curse that might fall on the child as well on us."

Ok. Whatever. Indian laws do not recognize marriages between people and animals, so the boy will still be able to take a woman as his bride later in life. And he doesn't even have to divorce the dog to do it! Yay! Wonder what kind of dog it is...
