These Fuelish Things...

Under the heading of "don't try this at home"?

A Swedish man who was arrested after trying to split atoms in his kitchen said Wednesday he was only doing it as a hobby....

The 31-year-old Handl said he had tried for months to set up a nuclear reactor at home and kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove.

I don't know which is crazier -- his hobby or his blogging about it! (And where do you store nuclear fuel in your home?)

Apparently the manlier sex has its answer to vajazzling -- baldazzling. I don't know if I'd be willing to be seen in public with a human disco ball, personally:

This made me bust a gut. Especially the tilty gay head on this little item.

What can I say? I took my baby sister and a friend to see him for her 16th birthday. It was a BIG DEAL to her at the time. Every teeny bopper in the room screamed and reached out, trying to be the one girl he invited on stage to dance to this song:

(Hi, Sis!) Nope. I can guarantee she wouldn't do that today.

My daughter really ought to be shaking in her boots.

I just sent this bit of naughtiness to a 12-year-old who accidentally set himself aflame earlier this year. (Fortunately, his mother has nerves of steel and a houseful of boys, and his father likes things that go "boom!" as well as things that go "vrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooom!")

Just imagine what I'll send my grandson when he's that age!
