Here’s AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ Played on Flaming Bagpipes
Well, here's something you don't see every day (unless you follow this guy around, in which case, move along ... move along). It's a man with a mohawk playing "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC on bagpipes that shoot flames. He also dances a bit. And he's wearing a leather kilt...
Dog’s Anus Looks Like Man Perceived as Savior to Billions of People on Earth
We're used to Jesus showing up in a cornflake, or a water stain. Maybe a piece of toast. Not so much a dog's butthole. But there he is, assuming he was real and looked the way he's been painted by a bunch of European artists. Right in a dog's backside...

If you're not familiar with snooker, congratulations on not being a 60-year-old British man! Also, it's kind of like billiards, and so spectators are expected to maintain silence when watching a game. No talking, laughing, and no farting. Come on, guys...
