In a story that I find both tragic and bizarre, 21 year old Marc Higgins from Bristol, Connecticut in the USA stabbed four people, killing one, for laughing at his farting.

In an incredibly sad an somewhat surreal tale, the life of one Ms. Holli Tencza of Ocala, Florida has been ruined by a trigger happy neighbour and the stupidest criminal to grace God’s green earth.

Just before the soccer world cup we brought you a story about a deranged restaurant owner in Arizona serving up lion’s meat as a cute homage to SA. Now those yanks are at it again. This time in a different restaurant in the same carnivorous state. They just can’t keep their hands off our cats.

Let this be a cautionary tale to anyone contemplating joining a mind-altering cult, and subsequently opening fire and mortally wounding police officers. The buddies of the deceased will be pissed, and they’ll try really hard to find you, and when they do, they’re going to take the first chance they get to lawfully shoot you to sponge. Sometimes they skip straight to the shooting.

God, I hate this. Craig Rowin, this guy from the internet who used various Youtube videos to ask random rich people to send him one million dollars for no reason in particular, is now one million dollars richer. Understand that I am not so much congratulating Craig Rowans for milking the internet as I am muttering about not having done it first.

The American coffee giant Starbucks announced this week that customers with iPhone and Blackberry smartphones can now download an application to purchase their daily fix. The app will display a bar code that the barista can scan and voila, off you go. How much longer until cards are rendered obsolete?

Facebook has been hailed as one of the great tools in Human History. It’s brining people closer, creating lasting relationships and strengthening the ties between us. But it’s also created an ettiquette of its very own. In the past if you were cruelly and horribly broken up with the person in question could, with time, be hidden in the recesses of your damaged psyche. But no more!

That’s right – we’re talking Jack Daniel’s, Corona, Jack Black, BOS iced tea, Boschendal bubby, De […]

The US, China state visit was always going to be a tricky affair. They speak different languages and good translators are so hard to find these days. Nevertheless, they met. Things were off to a good enough start but got testy when Obama straight up told the Chinese head of state they should do something about their human rights record. Whether he heard ‘human’ rights we’ll never know.

Cricketing superstar, and ocassionally outspoken bad boy, Herschelle Gibbs, will be gracing the 2oceansvibe Radio studios at the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village tomorrow morning. What he’ll chat about is anyone’s guess, but there are a few hot topics buzzing around the cricketing community at the moment, and Herschelle has never been one not to speak […]

Police in Colombia have detained a pigeon that was allegedly transporting marijuana to a nearby prison. Apparently, some drug barons had strapped a package to its back and released the desperate little guy into the air, hoping that he would fly over the penitentiary wall into the open arms of some prisoners who were in much need of a spliff.

This is sort of cool and sort of awful. Jozi thieves have stripped about 400 ‘high-tech traffic lights’ of their sim cards, modems and GPS systems, using the sim cards to make unlimited free phone calls. It will cost about R8,8 million to replace these fancy, legitimately robot-like traffic lights. Regular GPS-free traffic lights are unaffected.

I’m not sure how to feel about this. Scottish Spirits is testing out canned whiskey in South America on the grounds that outdoor drinkers would rather not have to lug a bottle of the stuff around. You also look like less of an insane drunk if you’re taking sips from a can instead of swigs from a bottle of scotch, so there’s that.

This is the sixth installment of the weekly Sex In The Mother City series. The morning sunshine breaks through the windows to reveal the aftermath of Kira’s shenanigans in Episode 5.

Over the last few days many a report has been circulating claiming that the great proponent of Zimbabwean democracy and all round nice guy Robert Mugabe may be on the dying-side of things. Mugabe’s illness was reported by Britain’s Daily Telegraph; apparently he is in Malaysia, recovering from having the old prostate removed.

Have a look at the Forever Lazy™ – an engineered garment designed around the laid back needs of people like you and me. People blessed with a natural instinct to do nothing. Just slip it in, zip it and get lazy!

Deep inside a homing pigeon’s head is a detector cell that picks up the earth’s magnetic field and sends it straight to its destination. No hardware, no software – just a natural sense of position for thousands of kilometres. I know people who get lost in malls where they have lit up maps on eye level. Are pigeons smarter than us? I’m beginning to think so.

Philippe Meniére and his life partner, Agnes Jardel, the French Couple who shot dead one police officer and critically wounded another, are still at large somewhere in the surrounding area of Sutherland. As police continue their search, some seriously bizarre details have begun to emerge about their cult and the 12 years they spent cultivating weirdness on the Karoo farm.

Some fantastic footage has recently come to light, showing a 1956 housewife on her first acid trip as part of a drug trial. We all know how stupid people sound when trying to describe their trips – and throw in some 50’s black and white sensibility? Hilarious. She can see all of the molecules, apparently.

This story is sweet and horrific rolled into one. A monk dug up the remains of a nun in Athens and tried to smuggle it to Cyprus to give her a proper burial. He reckons she was a saint. The Greek Orthodox church disagrees with him on that one. They also condemn his behaviour and would like him to stop being a monk for now.

Dutch scientists have linked post-orgasmic illness in men to an allergic reaction to their own semen. It has been awarded the title of Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS). IOL has reported that these scientists did a study with 45 men who had previously complained about issues after issuing.

So tomorrow’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday! Which is kind of a holiday now. And stores like to celebrate that kind of thing with sales and stuff, because that’s what the King was all about, right? Right. Which is why it is totally sensible for Thalia Surf Shop in Laguna to take 20% off all of it’s black products.

Hang on a tick. I thought that calling anybody a loser was the prerogative of the person doing the loser calling. Not so, according to Mr C. Ngcukana, viewer of e.tv’s Justice Factor.

Insults hurt. Especially when they come from comedians. Hef is taking Ricky’s jibes like a man and acts like it doesn’t hurt. But it does. It cuts him deep. Naturally, the 84 year-old turned to 4 year-old Twitter and talked it out with girls much younger than him. When someone is hurt on a very deep level they sometimes act like they lost a loved one. Grief has five basic stages.

The goal here is pretty cool! Sort of. Extend your perception of time by doing new or uncomfortable things – and have more, better memories of a given day than you would if you were doing dull stuff. We like it – we’re all about extending the vibe. Even if uncomfortable things are required of you from time to time.

As part of Machine Project’s “Good People Doing Bad Things”, apparently teaching kids to break into and hot-wire cars is good for their development. The aim of the project is not so much to turn kids into deviants, but to get them understanding how cars work…

Helen Zille did it that way so it works. It’s not going to happen for current mayor Dan Plato but unlike Helen, Dan never got the Best Mayor In The Whole Wide World Award. I’m not saying he did a bad job, I’m just saying he didn’t get the award. And now his term is up. So who’s next? Some people say it’s Patricia De Lille.
