hehe...a local radio news station has a weekly item "Knuckleheads in the News": http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=456&sid=635506 . Readers vote for which one is the knuckleheadiest. :p

This week's winner:

From: someone
An Alaskan robber who showed a bank teller his picture ID before holding up a bank. Police say the man asked about his account, and gave the teller his real name and account number. Then he handed over a note demanding money. The man fled with the funds, but it didn't take long for police to find him.

From: someone
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - A 1,224-pound triple vanilla cupcake with pink frosting has set a record as the world's largest.

The sugary behemoth was unveiled Saturday at the Woodward Dream Cruise classic cars event in Royal Oak, Mich.

A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to certify the cupcake's girth. It was more than eight times the size of the previous record holder.

The colossal cupcake took 12 hours to bake and included 800 eggs and 200 pounds each of sugar and flour.

Slices of the cupcake were served in exchange for donations to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization.

Ryan Abood, owner of New Hampshire-based Gourmetgiftbaskets.com who made the cupcake, told the Detroit Free Press that it clocked in at an estimated 2 million calories.




2 MILLION CALORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

darn! I got all excited when I read Manchester, then realised it's a different Manchester lol.

I like how they decorated it with pink ribbons since the money goes to a breast cancer organisation.

(wonder how big the oven was! :eek: )

dont think they'd be able to class it as a single cupcake though...

Maybe they used like a pottery kiln or something. some of those can be massive.

Yeah... two and a half hours between posts is not a healthy thread. Maybe...it's.....dieing?

Dun....dun.....DUN!!!!!

I have worried about this too. But then, that was the directive originally. I shouldn't have waited so long before jumping on the bandwagon.

We need a vanity picture theme to get people posting.

ok threadies - I need a riddle solved to get a free dress and my mind is just drawing a blank:

"This the hue of magical things,
It catches the dress makers eye,
Her favourite colour it is indeed,
It is a shade sometimes plucked from the sky."


Unscramble this to get the answer: EUENCRLA

Help

Thank you - It was one of those things that was on the tip of my tongue and I knew I knew it but just could not get past the dead blank spot in the brain.

Alice in Wonderland.

You've fallen down the rabbit hole, what do you see?.... What's the craziest look you can come up with that makes you look like (or think of) a character from the story?
(doesn't have to be an actual character, just Wonderland-esque)

I like it! More of an insanity pic than a vanity pic. (I'll have to work on that.)

Out dancing as usual.

We heard a new singer tonight and I was impressed by her voice and the emotion she can charge her songs with. MissBobbyMcgee Artful. Give her a listen if you get the chance.
