Mail Yourself
Yesterday, the New Daily paper reported that Australia Post will soon begin offering a service to allow people to mail themselves across country:The scheme, to be called AirMale and AirFemale, will see the ailing postal service partner with a low-cost airline to deliver customers for a one-way fee of just $35 to any airport in Australia serviced by the carrier...
While those opting for the new AirMale and AirFemale services won’t have to “post” themselves in envelopes or boxes, they will have to fly in the cargo hold of aircraft.

Of course, it was just an April Fool's Day hoax, but had to share it since it touched on a theme (people posting themselves through the mail) recently discussed here on WU.

A Sad Life
How sad does one's life have to be for him to follow a woman around Walmart and masterbate? Bonus: it was the Kissamee Walmart but I don' t think he got a kiss.

Nerve Man
The giant man of nerves was part of the "Conquest of Pain" exhibit held at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry in 1955. If I had seen this thing as a kid, it definitely would have given me nightmares.
