FLINT TOWNSHIP, MI – "I want to go to a Bob Seger concert," were the first words out of Evie Branan's mouth after suddenly awakening from a five-year semi coma, falling and hitting her head on the floor.

"Why would I say that?" Branan laughed. "Maybe my last thoughts were Bob Seger before I had my stroke."

A spunky 79-year-old, Branan sat at Willowbrook Manor in Flint Township with short, spiky, white hair. She wore an old Bob Seger t-shirt, green eye shadow and a wrist covered in bracelets.

For the past two years, Branan has been eagerly waiting for that Seger concert after she came out of her semi coma on May 7, 2011.

That time has finally come. She is ready with her concert tickets and an invitation for an after party for Seger's concert at the Palace in Auburn Hills on Thursday, April 11.

The term breastaurant has been used for years to describe Hooters, Twin Peaks and other restaurants that feature scantily clad waitresses who cater especially to a male appetite.

Thanks to a trademark filed with the United States Patent and Trademark office, however, there is officially only one Breastaurant.

Bikinis Bar and Grill, a chain that started in Austin and now has locations throughout Texas, North Carolina and Oklahoma, holds the trademark for the word, meaning the company is the only one allowed to describe themselves with that term.

Here's a glimpse of life aboard the Apollo 10 space mission we might never be able to flush from our awareness: turds floating through the air. Someone on Reddit has pulled out and reposted nuggets of NASA's official mission transcripts in which the astronauts discuss who might be responsible for a series of poops breezing by. "I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine," one astronaut says. "Mine was a little more sticky than that," another overshares. A third sounds less certain, saying amidst laughter, "I can neither claim it nor disclaim it." American heroes all. [Source]

Kevin Waldrum, 45, began calling daytime chat line Studio 66 TV after splitting up with his girlfriend of two-and-a-half years.

The former security guard has vowed to fight the bill of £91,184, which Vodafone have reduced to £29,083, claiming it has ruined his life and driven him to anxiety medication and sleeping tablets.

Mr Waldrum, of Gladstone Avenue, Loughborough, took out two phone contracts with Vodafone last year.

He opened up to several women on the chat line about his heartache, oblivious to the huge bill he was racking up.

He continued to call the chat line after an invoice for £19,333.63 came through his letterbox, but realised he had to take action when a second bill for £71,850.67 arrived.

It was recently reported that Joel Osteen, the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, and a televangelist whose ministry reaches millions of viewers, has resigned from Christianity, citing a lack of faith in the validity of the Bible as the word of God.

Images of articles on CNN, Drudge Report and Yahoo News show headlines announcing Osteen’s resignation, but actual links to those articles were unable to be found. Instead, the announcement seemed to originate from a WordPress blog named Joel Osteen Ministries in which the only post is an alleged article from CNN claiming that the megachurch pastor released a statement on his website, Joel Osten Ministries.

Osteen’s “statement” reads in part, “I believe now that the Bible is a fallible, flawed, highly inconsistent history book that has been altered hundreds of times. There is zero evidence the Bible is the holy word of God.” He goes on to say that he has informed his closest colleagues that he is leaving the church, which will continue in a “bare-bones fashion as we liquidate our assets and fulfill various financial obligations.”

A SCARED mum is demanding a new home — claiming her current one is HAUNTED.

Stacey McGill, 29, wants a housing association to move her family after a series of spooky goings-on.

She says a ghost turns lights on and off and leaves a creepy feeling of cobwebs on her skin.

Stacey moved into the terraced house in Loughborough, Leics, with partner Carl, 25, and daughter Chelsey, 18 months, last December.

She said: “I noticed something was there straight away. The microwave started going on and off by itself, and one night we were woken at 3am by the sound of maintenance works. It’s so unnerving.”

At around 10 a.m. on April 2, a man living in the town of Fukuchiyamashi, Kyoto called the police after he discovered that the light of a nearby parking lot had been vandalized with white spray-paint. Upon arriving at the scene, officers also discovered that an expensive, multi-function toilet had been stolen from a park located nearby.



According to the authorities, an entire multi-function toilet, complete with its accompanying hand rails, was stolen from the public restroom. In addition, the special washlet-style toilet seat and lid from another toilet were also missing, with the cost of damages and stolen items coming to some 300,000 yen (US$3,100).

After examining evidence left at the scene, police believe that the criminal used a screwdriver to carefully remove the joints that connected the toilet to its surroundings. Surprisingly, the toilets in the men’s room were left completely intact. Perhaps the thieves banked on the ladies’ toilets being a little more sanitary?

BAD DOG

Owner retrieves cash after canine helps himself to $500 snack

Wayne Klinkel has taken the old “my dog ate my homework” excuse to a new level.

Klinkel’s dog ate his $100 bills. Five of them.

“I thought ‘You dumb SOB,’” Klinkel recalled with a rueful laugh. “I couldn’t believe he did that.”

The story of the $500 dog started around Christmas, when Klinkel and his wife took a road trip to visit their daughter and her husband, Amy and Coty Church, in Denver. Along the way, they stopped for dinner and left their 12-year-old golden retriever, Sundance, locked in the vehicle. They also left the five $100 bills and a $1 bill in a cubbyhole in their rig.

Man gets shock of his life when he buys two toy poodles for $150 only to be told by a vet that they are actually GIANT RODENTS pumped up with steroids to look like dogs

Gullible bargain hunters at Argentina's largest bazaar are forking out hundreds of dollars for what they think are gorgeous toy poodles, only to discover that their cute pooch is in fact a ferret pumped up on steroids.

One retired man from Catamarca, duped by the knock-down price for a pedigree dog, became suspicious he had bought what Argentinians call a 'Brazilian rat' and when he returned home took the 'dogs' to a vet for their vaccinations.

Imagine his surprise when his suspicious were confirmed - he had in fact purchased two ferrets that had been given steroids at birth to increase their size and then had some extra grooming to make their coats resemble a fluffy toy poodle.
