Some strange facts and traditions have been collected collected at

"Human World" . I was engrossed with this we page simply because of the unusual content. All of these entries are true (according to the web site author), and some of the make you say "What was going through their minds when t was decided that this was a good idea?".

The Wonderful World of Prison Inventions

I got this from my friends over at sloshspot.com. Some of these are quite ingenious. Here is a sample of what has been found in prisons from around the world. You can find the complete post at The Wonderful World of Prison Inventions.


While your in prison, why not get a tattoo to commemorate " the time of your life", and there's also no better way of showing your commitment to what ever gang you choose to join while in the clink. The basic design uses any form of battery to power a small motor, which in turn pushes a needle in and out of a pen to give inmates authentic jailhouse tats. Sadly choice of colors is usually limited to whatever Bic's they have on hand and are typically blue or black. Beggars (Neo-Nazi's included) can't be choosers though.

With cigarettes being the go-to currency of choice for prisoners (at least the movies would have you believe this), there wouldn't be much use for a smokable commodity if there was no way to light it. Prisoners are forbidden from having lighters and matches for obvious reasons, so some clever inmates have devised a way around the rules. This example of a lighter is a simple yet intelligent design, a AA battery is wrapped in duct tape with a wire strapped to the negative end. Simplly touch the other side of the wire to the positive end and the metal coil in the center of the wire heats up.

Just because you got thrown in the slammer doesn't mean you might not get the occasional chance to enjoy some weed. Stoners, who are notorious for being able to shape a pipe out of anything litterally, occasionaly get locked up and are forced to use their skills on the inside. The above example is fashioned out of a tube of German horseradish and has a great design, not only because it functions well, but for the fact that it is very incognito in case of the occasional room toss. At a quick glance its really just looks like an ordinary tube of something. Genius, pure genius.

Look for more posts in the future, and as always, "Happy Hunting!"

Running for office!

Next year, I will be running for state representative for Delaware. I am looking for some suggestions as to the best way to handle my campaign, etc. Any Help would be appreciated. Since I am going to be a servant of the people, I need to know what the people need, want, and are concerned about. Join the Delaware Lan Party on Facebook, and let me know.

Back Again....Better Than Ever

Here I am, back again. I swear, posting is hard work. Just trying to keep up to date with new sites takes quite a bit of time and effort. Well, all my readers are worth it, IMHO. Today I decided not to follow my usual pattern of listing strange sites and pictures. I am going to take you back in time to my original blog at Comedyzone. As you can see, that was a failed attempt, but it was not my fault. I know that everyone is saying "Yeah right!", but it truly was not due to me being too busy or lazy. As it turns out, the name "comedyzone" is trademarked by an entertainment staffing company. They would have been more than willing to let me use the name, if I would agree to pay them $500.00 a year for licensing. Well, I was broke and only had a few readers, so it was not worth it to me.

I also have another blog at Stealthmayem.com, but due to hosting issues I have not updated that in about a month. It doesn't really matter, I guess. All of the posts are mirrored from here anyway. One final note; start writing comments for my posts. I do not know if you like them or not, if you want a new format, whatever . Any suggestion for future posts would be appreciated.

Well, that is all for now. I will post again when I have a chance. Happy Hunting!
