For as long as i feel interested in weird stuff i will be posting any and every weird or bordering on the strange stuff here. From news that made headlines to the more obscure shit you wish you heard, everything will make it on here. For today here is a list of some strange or funny or just plain eye popping info i found on Stunningstuff..
