Uniquely Gifted Girl 14, Graduates Summa Cum Laude
this is a story to warm the coldest cockles..a girl who is well rounded and indicative of her inner beauty, after a long wait at a fast food place for a meal, she gave her food to a homeless person. Enrolled in a fast-track doctoral program, she expects to receive her doctorate on or about her 21st birthday. Kelsey Ladt is weird but good weird.

Your Daily Loser & Jury Duty for May 15th
Your Daily Loser - I love this headline: "If you smoke, don’t spit gasoline. It’s a rule." Words to live by! A german man set his apartment on fire by accident when he picked up a bottle of gasoline, thinking it was alcohol, and took a swig... then promptly spit it out. Right onto his lighted cigarette. The Story.Jury Duty - Joshua Wayne Noe was arrested in Monroe County, listed as a Fugitive from Justice. I couldn't find an article explaining what he was escaping from, but I did find his Facebook page. My question is, doesn't he look like Lurch from the Addams Family?

Bigfoot Prefers Garlic Cloves, Not Powdered
I could expect this on certain channels, or in tabloids. But not The National Geographic Channel! The interesting part starts at about 0:43 and goes to 6:00.

This video is pretty weird on its own terms. But an added strangeness: all the manipulated images are "found art" from the Library of Congress.
