The election turns to Shit

1. Literally

You've heard from all the pundits and the polls.. but one man has a unique way of predicting the upcoming election results.. and I don't know about you, but smells like a winner to me.


Jim Coniglione, Pro Poop Scooper, Claims Dog Poop Shapes Predict Romney Win (VIDEO)


Obama Romney Poop
 Jim Coniglione, owner of Scoopy Doo, a dog poop collection service in Long Island, N.Y., predicts Mitt Romney will win the presidential election because more dog poop is shaped like his head than President Barack Obama's. 
The presidential election isn't for a few weeks, but if a professional dog poop scooper is correct, Mitt Romney is going to win in the end, "litterally."
Jim Coniglione is the owner of Scoopy Doo, a dog poop collection service in Long Island, N.Y., and he predicts a win for Romney for a very peculiar reason: The majority of dog poop he's picking up looks like the former Massachusetts governor.

Uhm.. did someone say "win in the end"

Cue IT!



2. Cupcakes.. ruined

So much for that whole cupcake craze.. I dont think I'll ever be able to eat another one again...



STD Cupcakes Meant To Shock, Educate, Perhaps Entice Visitors At Unique London Exhibition (PHOTOS)



HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts and other sexually transmitted diseases adorn a set of specially prepared -- and painstakingly anatomically correct -- cupcakes that will be part of an exhibition this weekend at the London St. Bart's Pathology Museum.


3. I can fly like a penguin

In an effort to sanitze your mind from the above photo.. I give you.. Penguins soaring through the air!


Emperor Penguin Photos Documented In National Geographic Magazine (more in a slideshow here)

From the November 2012 edition of National Geographic magazine:
When an emperor penguin swims through the water, it is slowed by the friction between its body and the water, keeping its maximum speed somewhere between four and nine feet a second. But in short bursts the penguin can double or even triple its speed by releasing air from its feathers in the form of tiny bubbles. These reduce the density and viscosity of the water around the penguin’s body, cutting drag and enabling the bird to reach speeds that would otherwise be impossible. (As an added benefit, the extra speed helps the penguins avoid predators such as leopard seals.)

Kinda like me. In short bursts, I'm the fastest man alive!  As cool as those pics are, I still prefer watching them walk like a penguin:


4.  You've Been Served

Not the kind of pranks I remember from UMASS.. though, I honestly don't remember much...



5. Finally brought to justice

Seriously though.. been on the run for 3 years?!?! No wonder Florida is full of scumbags (sorry Samz) Police can't even wrangle a "rogue monkey"?!?!

Rogue monkey finally caught in Florida

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The monkey that has evaded Florida wildlife officials for more than three years has been caught.
Wildlife officials nabbed the monkey Wednesday afternoon after a five-hour stakeout near a wooded area in a south St. Petersburg neighborhood.
"We concealed ourselves in the area," said Baryl Martin, spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, "and we waited for the monkey to approach."

The Rhesus Macaque achieved notoriety in the Tampa Bay area after repeatedly managing to elude wildlife officials since 2009./ CBS News/WTSP

Then the monkey was shot with a tranquilizer dart.
I also love how it became a folk hero. Man what a depressing place to live when a Rogue Monkey is your hero.
