These College Students Got the Shock of a Lifetime in their Basement

When you live in an old house, you experience a lot of seemingly unnatural noises that are the result of the framework, plumbing and other natural causes. A creak or door slamming at 3:15am can send chills up and down anyone’s spine, no matter how little they believe in ghosts. That’s why a group of college students decided to investigate their very strange and noisy basement.

Renters of an off-campus home at Ohio State University were disturbed when they started hearing strange noises coming from a locked room in the basement. They believed it to be haunted.

As it turns out, the room was occupied by an inhabitant they never expected. Jeremy. He was another student… and he was living in their basement.

Maintenance workers knocked down a locked door in the students’ basement, which is where they found Jeremy (living there for free). Then, they changed their locks and let the “ghostly” inhabitant move out. Great campus housing isn’t cheap after all.

You might not believe in ghosts. But you probably believe in unwanted occupants now.

Chuck Todd mocks Nikki Haley for tweeting song lyric, forgets to check his own timeline

Rumour Has It…..Adele "People say crazy things, Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it, Just 'cause… fb.me/1o655Kjwl

— Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) December 13, 2012

Thursday afternoon, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley posted lyrics to an Adele song on Twitter and Facebook. The full post reads:

Rumour Has It…..Adele

“People say crazy things, Just ’cause I said it, don’t mean that I meant it, Just ’cause you heard it, Rumour has it………”

NBC reporter Chuck Todd responded with what appears to be a mocking question.

She really tweeted this? RT @nikkihaley: Rumour Has It…..Adelefb.me/1o655Kjwl

— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) December 13, 2012

Yes, Chuck, she did. Is there a problem with tweeting song lyrics?

Hey, this might be a good time for a Chuck Todd flashback. On December 6, 2012, when asked about running for president in 2016, Congressman Paul Ryan said that he had “decided not to decide.” Chuck Todd cleverly tweeted the following:

Hey @paulryanvp, if u choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) December 6, 2012

Sounds innocent enough, right? Here is the chorus from a song by Canadian rock band Rush:

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill I will choose a path that’s clear I will choose freewill

@magmom13 @paulryanvp good grief, it was not a taunt! It’s a song lyric… it’s called having a sense of humor!

— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) December 6, 2012

Don’t worry, Chuck. We do have a sense of humor and we are laughing.

.@chucktodd u clearly don’t follow gov’s posts on Fb & Twitter, most of which she does herself, on a regular basis. Song lyrics a staple.

— Rob Godfrey (@RobGodfrey) December 13, 2012

There you go, Chuck. You and the Governor have at least one thing in common.

Oh, and since you’re a fan of Rush, Chuck, here’s a totally random selection:

The hypocrites are slandering The sacred halls of Truth Ancient nobles showering Their bitterness on youth Can’t we find The minds that made us strong Can’t we learn To feel what’s right and wrong

– Rush, Farewell to Kings

This Guy Stepped On A Bug And Revealed Something Totally Gross

Warning: This is the nastiest thing you’ll see today.

1. An unidentified guy had quite the disturbing experience after he stepped on a cockroach-like bug.

Ivan Bregorovic / Via youtube.com

2. After stepping on it, something that resembled a worm crawled out of the insect. And the long, twisty creature just kept moving as it attempted to separate itself from its crushed home.

 

3. In reality, the worm is a parasite called a “Nematomorpha.”

5. The parasite, also known as the horsehair worm, gets inside of insects like cockroaches, grasshoppers, and crickets in order to consume their nutrients until the victim becomes brainwashed and commits suicide.

Basically, the larva of the worm will get eaten by the larvae of other insects, like mosquitos, who then get eaten by bigger insects, like crickets. Then, the horsehair worm will “penetrate through the gut of the cricket and get into the body cavity, where they then grow from a tiny, tiny larva to something that’s now on the average of a foot long,” parasitologist Ben Hanelt of the University of New Mexico told Wired.

Hugh Loxdale, president of the London-based Royal Entomological Society, told National Geographic it’s “one of the most horrific things I’ve ever seen,” adding that “It makes the science fiction film Alien look pretty tame in comparison.”

6. And guess what? The parasites have even been known to infect humans.


In 2009, both an 80-year-old woman and a 1-year-old boy in Japan were found to have been infected.

8. Disgusting, yes, but also a reminder of how amazing/insane nature can be.

Michael Bloomberg thanks Mexico for taxing the sodas America just won’t ban

http://twitter.com/#!/MikeBloomberg/status/377512145652826112

Most thought that Michael Bloomberg’s job as mayor of New York City was to run New York City, but the mayor himself knows his job is saving lives worldwide. Today he’s expressing his thanks to Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto for carrying on his crusade against sugary drinks south of the border. One currently proposed bill would impose a 20 percent tax on sugary soda.

http://twitter.com/#!/Scott_at_Home/status/377512433616953344

According to the Wall Street Journal, the tax could raise $2 billion a year in revenue, which would “be earmarked to install public water fountains and improve access to clean drinking water.” Yeah, that’s where all the money will go.

Someone Created Hilariously Accurate Lego Scenes For All 50 States. Alabama Rocks !, But Maryland… Hilarious.

We do not know why, but Legos were one of the greatest toys previously developing up. Perhaps this is exactly why seeing all of them utilized for all kinds of crazy things when you get older, from video games to movies (“Everything rocks !!” 🙂 ), only brings a grin to the faces. And this isn’t any exclusion. Because maybe you have wondered a) just what the quintessential scene of your state is?… and b) exactly what it could seem like made of Legos? Really we possess the solution. Love!

15 Of The Creepiest Neighbors Around — And You Thought Yours Were Bad!

When I was in college, I had a really creepy neighbor. I told my friends that if I turned up dead or missing, police should start their investigation at his front door.

He had long, greasy hair and dirty fingernails, but the spookiest thing about him was that he never seemed to sleep. At all hours of the day and night, I could hear him moving around in his apartment, which was right above mine.

However, when it comes to creepy neighbors, I know I’m not alone. The following are 15 of the creepiest neighbors that Redditors have had to deal with — and you thought yours were bad!

1. “My neighbor stares at me from her window every day when I get home from work.”

2. Is that a zombie?

3. This would be the last place I’d go for a cup of sugar.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF’); });

4. She knows we can see her, right?

5. I’m glad to know that Michael Myers finally settled down.

6. “Honey, the ghost children are loose again!”

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI2_BTF’); });

7. This is unacceptable neighbor behavior.

8. Who in their right mind decorates like this?

9. The last thing any neighborhood needs is a Nazi.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI3_BTF’); });

10. “I just watch from a distance.”

11. Why are these people always staring? Don’t they have TVs?

12. Go inside and watch some Netflix!

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI4_BTF’); });

13. Why must they leave creepy things on display?

14. Are they trying to scare the bejesus out of us?

15. Don’t they know we hate clowns?!

I wouldn’t want to live near any of these people, but the guy who posted this video has the worst neighbors of all. They don’t just stare — they take creepy to a whole new level!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go make sure my doors and windows are locked.
