Maybe news anchor Saul Cordero had never seen Steve Carrell's rant on Bruce Almighty, or maybe that was his inspiration, but in the middle of a live broadcast (which he must've not been aware he was live) he starts ripping into a string of vocal exercises... Hilarious!!

Talk about insulting, or does it make sense? We thought that paying outrageous prices for airline tickets (and just about everything else associated with air travel) was ridiculous, but how would you feel it you were charged for your trip based on your weight?! Yes, you'll be stepping on the scale WITH your baggage if you're flying Samoa airlines

Well, not unless you count the fool who falls for this very clever and borderline creepy upgrade to the typical cheesy pickup lines. Oh, it's still cheesy but these guys get mad props for creativity at the very least... Of course you'll get her number, but you may also get a slap to the face, so use with caution all you single guys and you didn't hear it from me.

So, 62-year-old Paul Marshallsea of South Wales was on vacation in Queensland, Australia is just mozeying along and notices a shark a tad too close to some kids and decides to walk over, grab the shark with some other brave passersby and literally wrestle it away from the children (the grab is at :14 sec in).

Somebody at Wrangler is probably going to lose their job over this cellulite fighting/moisturizing jeans idea because it sounds more like something you'd sell on late night TV and charge $19.95 for along with all of the other WONDERFUL inventions that nobody wants or doesn't work.

Criminal activity is getting more and more creative by the day. This means trying to dupe cops requires out-of-the-box thinking and, in some cases, a hankering for ravioli. So if you want to have some criminal fun, you'll have to one-up the last crook.

Even if you've never seen the Paul Newman classic 'Cool Hand Luke,' you're probably aware of its famous scene in which Newman's title character wins a bet by downing 50 hard boiled eggs in one sitting. We're not sure how much they know about 'Cool Hand Luke' in Tunisia, but a man there named Dhaou Fatnassi tried to replicate Newman's feat. Needless to say, it didn't end well.

While most of us rang in the new year with a noisemaker and a drink or two, 29-year-old Coco Bennett celebrated by brandishing a samurai sword in front of police. Oh, and he was stark naked too, of course.
