Top 10 Bizarre Museums

Published on February 5, 2008 - 132 Comments

[WARNING: This list contains content that may offend some readers] Museums are meant to have wide appeal as institutions of learning, but sometimes things go awry - as is the case in the following ten bizarre museums. Take a journey to the dark side of museum life with our top 10 bizarre museums!

10. Museum of Jurassic Technology

Jaydice

The museum claims to have a “specialized repository of relics and artifacts from the Lower Jurassic, with an emphasis on those that demonstrate unusual or curious technological qualities.” This explains the museum’s name and also suggests its puzzling nature, since the Lower Jurassic ended over 150 million years before the appearance of hominoids and in particular before anything that could be called technology. Some of the exhibits found in the museum are a collection of decomposing antique dice owned by magician Ricky Jay, a collection devoted to trailer park culture, entitled “Garden of Eden On Wheels”, an exhibit on household myths of years past, and a collection of micro-miniature sculptures and paintings, such as a sculpture of Pope John Paul II carved from a single human hair and placed within the eye of a needle.

Top 10 Bizarre Biblical Tales

Published on January 31, 2008 - 1333 Comments

The Bible is full of many fascinating tales - many good, and some bizarre - here are the top 10 bizarre tales from the Bible.

10. A lesson for those who dare mock male pattern baldness

Elijah

Found in: 4 Kings 2:23-24

One of the more inspirational passages in the Bible tells the story of Elijah, a wise man, yet one cursed with male pattern baldness. One day he was minding his own business, making the long walk to Bethel, when he is attacked by a roving band of children who tease him with names like “bald head.” But Elijah was having none of this, he turns round and curses them in the name of the Lord, and instantly two female bears emerge from a nearby wood and maul all 42 children to death.

The moral of this story? Don’t make fun of bald people. Frankly, why this story isn’t included along with the Ten Commandments is anybody’s guess, but I think it would serve as an excellent lesson for children who think baldness is something to be made fun of.

So, you are shopping for the man/woman who has everything and have no idea what to buy? Here are ten unique and unusual products that can be bought on Amazon.com:

10. Wolf Urine

41Xu5Meu08L. Ss500

100% pure wolf pee. Use this pee to deter unwanted creatures from your home. Its effectiveness is vouched for by one Amazon reviewer who said:

My Uncle Jared had been under the weather since his wife passed away. He was also in a lot of debt and doing drugs. So one day he bought this Wolf Lure, apparently covered his body in it, and went into the forest. We held his funeral last Thursday, but there was no body to place in a casket so we just remembered him the way he was, and placed flowers by the forest where his mauled clothing and remnants of teeth and flesh lay in eternal slumber. The local news ran a report of him, and we all wish him well with his wife.

Please note: this product can not be shipped to California due to state regulations on the importing of animal pee.

10. Carrots and Sugar

434992291 9D161D8Def-1

While it may seem strange to add sugar to vegetables, it is a very common method of preparing carrots in France. The technical term for this dish is Vichy Carrots, in which you combine Carrots, Salt, Pepper, sugar, and Vichy water (a sparkling water from the Vichy region) and cook them down until the carrots are glazed. The sugar heightens the flavor of the carrots and the end result is a stunning dish of brilliantly orange vegetables.
