The Captain Has Turned on the No Nudity Sign

Snake on a plane. It doesn't take much to cause a fuss on an airplane these days. Poor 50-year-old Keith Anthony Wright just wanted to relax naked on the flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles, but the stewardess kept asking him to get dressed and throwing a blanket over him. He had to punch and kick her to make her stop. "No one was really panicking," said a fellow passenger. "The flight attendants seemed to handle it very well." Eventually, when the plane was diverted to Albuquerque for an unrelated medical emergency, the still-naked Wright, who suffers from polar disorder and hadn't taken his medication, was apprehended by airport security and charged with disrupting a flight. We think the stewardess had a lot to do with that. Let sleeping dongs lie, bitch. (Sky News)

Adios Chola!

Our beloved Camille Luna (aka Chola) is leaving WOW today for greener pastures. And with a proper send-off – chocolate cake and whiskey – we bid her adieu.

When asked what is next for the young broad, she says she will be staying at home and watching Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. Oh how we will miss her and her sharpie eyebrows.

One Life to Shiv

After watching this video we're convinced EVERYTHING either was, is, or can be a knife. As this instructional police film proves over and over, if something isn't actually a knife on the surface, it can be concealing a knife, or something sharp can be duct-taped onto an ordinary thing to make it a knife. A person is always thisclose to being stabbed in a surprise attack. But the rainbow at the end of this nightmare is... the dance! (via Videogum)

Memories

A 16-year-old coed at a Tampa, Florida, high school didn't put on underwear the day the yearbook pictures were to be taken because she was afraid of visible panty lines – and now her privates are very public on page 219. (10connects)

Presbyterian Envelopes?

Usually when you have to "prove you are human" when searching for something it is just a random bunch of letters and numbers with an occasional recognizable word. But this one today took the cake for me. It makes me wonder if it's someone's actual job to think of words or random phrases for these. If so, I want this job!

Star Trek Nerd Is Only Human

In a disturbing confessional on his Captain's Log, this strange young man addresses the issue of "certain videos of the naughty nature" being "leaked to the trolls." Those videos, meant for an anonymous girlfriend, involved recycling his semen, spanking himself, and pooing his pants. The clip reeks of future serial killer. Enjoy. (via tiki wasteland)

Jägermeister: The Story Behind the Label

You might have been told by a friend who'd had a few shots of it that the circle, deer, and radiant cross on the Jägermeister label represent the expression "O, dear God" (get it?) but that would be more a representation of how stoopid the "liquid Quaalude" aperitif made your friend. The bachelor guy at The Bachelor Guy got the label's legend straight from Kate at Jägermeister, though it's somewhat fanciful and contains an inaccuracy. But we do have faith that the German written around the label's perimeter translates as “It is the hunter’s honor that he protects and preserves his game, hunts sportsmanlike, honors the Creator in his creatures.” If you're still drinking Jäger, that would make a great toast, but "O, dear God" is way easier to remember on the stuff.

Face Off, Face On

Five years ago Connie Culp's husband blasted her in the face with a rifle and then shot himself. Both survived; the husband went to prison and Connie lived without cheeks, a nose, the roof of her mouth, or one of her eyes. Doctors in Cleveland would perform 30 operations on her, removing hundreds of shotgun pellets and bone splinters from her face, recreating cheeks from her ribs, and forming an upper jaw from a piece of her thigh. And in December, they transplanted the face of a recently dead woman onto hers. Yesterday her identity and the cause of her disfigurement, which had been kept secret, were revealed. (See the stages of her reconstruction, which are graphic, here.)

Search Me

Of course we have a Google search set up for "World of Wonder," which alerts us to who's mentioning us and sometimes we're amused by what's coughed up by the little engine that could. Today we were tipped off to a Tri-County Times story about science students at Fenton High School in Fenton, Michigan, having nicer facilities next year after the Board of Education unanimously approved a $321,718 renovation of the school's science labs at its Monday meeting. Not only that, but we learned the Board was treated to a series of marketing videos created by video production students, which highlighted, among other things, the district's "World of Wonder" early childhood program. 

Now we hope Google will alert the Tri-County Times and Fenton High School to this post.
