Stolen' car found 2 years later accidentally parked in neighbour's garage

BERLIN - An Audi sedan written off by an elderly German woman as stolen two years ago has resurfaced - in her neighbour's garage beneath a thick layer of dust.

Police said Thursday the 82-year-old from the northern city of Hildesheim took the car in for repairs two years ago and had the mechanics drive it back to her house and park it in her garage.

She got the keys and papers from her mailbox, but when she went to get the car it was nowhere to be found. So she reported it stolen.

Fast forward to Wednesday when her neighbour went to clean up his unused garage so it could be rented. He found the car under "a centimetre-deep coating of dust."

It didn't take police long to piece together that the mechanics had parked it in the wrong garage.

LOL! I can't imagine the face of the guy when he found the car, or the policemen when they determined that it had just been misplaced for TWO YEARS! How the hell is that even possible? How can you go two years without knowing that your neighbor's car is parked inside your garage?

Man charged with having sex with horse... twice?!

I've seen and heard a lot of weird stuff in my life, and being so prone to spending time online has exposed me to some freaky things (2 girls 1 cup, anyone?), so it should come as no surprise that I'd stumble upon something like this while visiting one of the many sites I frequent...

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A South Carolina man was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point, authorities said Wednesday.

Yeah, that's pretty average considering the kind of sick, twisted material that can be found scattered throughout the web. Seriously, it's just like "Okay, so this guy's a freak... Hhmmm, I'm kind of hungry, I think I'll have a sandwich now", because it's very easy to lose one's sense of shock when one's been exposed to so many shocking things over the years. What got to me about it was not the fact this due was doing a horse, but rather, this...

But this wasn't the first time Rodell Vereen has been charged with buggery. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse after owner Barbara Kenley found him in the same stable and was sentenced to probation and placed on the state's sex offender list.

I'd be willing to concede that some people... strange people, feel sexually aroused by horses, and even that some of them will feel inclined to act on such... urges? What I cannot grasp is what in the name of all that is sane would possess a person to go after the same horse twice, after being caught and sentenced for it just a year before? You have to be really stupid to go after the same horse, because after having such a bizarre experience, the horse's owner has to have learned a thing or two about keeping his or her animals safe. And that's exactly what happened.

Now the dude's little misadventure is caught on tape and he's most likely facing jail time (because, by the way, the first time he just got probation. lol!). Why couldn't he just go after another horse? What's so special about this particular one that he had to risk going to jail?

Love...? God, I hope not.

And to finish, another quote from the article that made me laugh:

"I couldn't believe that there were two guys going around doing this to the same horse."

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

I wonder if anyone will ever get to read this. I wonder if anyone will stumble upon this blog and say "Hhhmmm... there goes another douche-y guy without a life trying to make himself feel important on the internet". Oh well. Can't say I haven't found myself on that particular end of the spectrum more than once, and for that very reason doing this right now makes me feel a bit... hypocritical... yeah... sigh.

But you know what? Sometimes, you just have to say "Shove it!". Today I decided that I was gonna give this a chance. Today I decided that I'm gonna take my brain and barf all of its contents for the entire world to see. Perhaps I'll get a few laughs, or perhaps (and most likely) I'll get a few stares and frowns and maybe even a trollish comment or two. And maybe, just maybe (a really big maybe) I'll get one of you to go "Wow, this guy is actually interesting!". I know, that's probably just a glorified wet dream, but hey! A guy is allowed to have some aspirations, no matter how sad and pathetic they may seem...

Yeah... This is starting to sound kind of self-deprecating, so I'm gonna stop doing that. Pity-partying is not funny or enticing in any way, neither for you nor myself. Don't you hate it when people do that? Like "oh yeah, poor me, my life sucks". Because, well, if you have time to blindly spend time sitting in front of a computer screen, chances are you're better off than many, many people, like, for instance, famish kids in the middle of Africa or any one among the millions of people that have caught the Swine Flu (or AH1N1, as some politicians and the pork industry wants us to call it. LOL! Good luck with that!) . So yeah, when you think your life sucks, remind yourself of all the people out there than don't even have resources, time, or even the energy to allow themselves to imagine what it would be like to be typing words for a blog, or reading said blog, as opposed to wondering how the hell are they going to eat tonight, or tomorrow, or the day after that.

Remember, life doesn't suck as much as you think it does. You just don't know that yet because there's still much of the world that's left for you to see.

Soooo... if you're reading this and got to this part, you're probably asking yourself why in hell do I ramble so much because I went from self-deprecating behavior to a pandemic to third-world problems. Well... I don't know. Take it or leave it (You'll probably leave it...). If you do decide to stick around, however, know that this is probably how it's going to be. Why? Because that's how I am. I have the attention span of a fly, and... I kind of like that. Keeps me from getting bored, and if you can appreciate that, it might keep you from getting bored too.

So... I think that's it for now. Writing this was fun! Kind of therapeutic. So I'll try to stick to it. Wish me luck (or not - I'll make my own luck! - movie quote FTW...? No...? Okay....).
