Poachers in Chad are gunning down some of Africa's last great elephant herds whenever they leave Zakouma National Park.

I saw this on Dave’s Daily and couldn’t resist… Enjoy!

10. Have you looked through her briefs?

9. He’s one hard judge!

1. Think you can get me off?

OK, I’m a little excited here.  I was just browsing the web, and don’t ask me how, but I came across a link that allows you to watch cheese mature live before your very eyes via webcam. 

A British cheesemonger, West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers actually set this up so that people would have a greater appreciation of what is involved in making a good cheese.

If you are as curious as I was, you can find the link here: www.cheddarvision.tv

…and yes, they do have a fan club, screensavers and more, as cheesy as it may be.

For just under $127,000USD you can purchase your very own personal submarine.

Dutch designers claim the subs will make owners feel like they are “flying through the water”.

The one-seater version is 9ft long, and the 11ft model seats two. Owners who really want to impress can get go-faster stripes and custom paint jobs.

The tiny C-Quester can dive to 50 metres and cruise beneath the waves at up to four knots using electric-propelled thrusters.

It can stay underwater for two-and-a half hours straight or 36 hours in the event of an emergency.

The vessel’s high-strength pressure hull allows the pilot to submerge in a totally dry cockpit and surface straight from the maximum depth without risk of decompression problems.

Makers U-Boat Worx, which took three years to perfect the subs, said: “Never before has it been possible for the public to explore the underwater world with a one-atmosphere submarine.”

This story is kind of bizarre. I mean, if the guy hates pumpkins, then how come he didn’t notice that he was eating them for 6 months?!

A Russian man divorced his wife of 18 years after finding she had been feeding him cheap pumpkins instead of courgettes.

Ivan Dimitrov, 47, was devastated to find the pies he had been eating for six months were made of pumpkins and not courgettes.

Mr Dimitrov, from Voronezh, said when he realised the truth, after finding pumpkin rinds in the bin, he immediately hired a lawyer to organise a quick divorce from wife Irena, 38.

He said: “She knows I absolutely hate pumpkins and she lied to me for months about it just because the pumpkins were cheap.
“What else has she been lying about? What man could trust a woman who fed him pumpkins for half a year?”

Check out this cactus martini picture:

Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000.

The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. “Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce,” the man said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank’s underground parking garage for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000. Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank’s doors, asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. “That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest,” the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.

“Wait sir,” the loan officer said, “while you were gone, I found out you are a multi-millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?”

The man smiled. “Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?”

Ever hear a song and get a part of it stuck in your head? It can be annoying when it’s a song you don’t like, but when it’s a song that you like but don’t know, how can you find the title?

Midomi.com offers a search for music based on users humming into their computer microphone the part of the song that they know. The software they use then searches out similar patterns and returns the closest matches.

I can’t wait to try this, I don’t have a microphone right now, so next time we’re near a microphone we’ll test it out with some songs. It’ll be good times.
