More Nuts? JetBlue flight attendant who went nuts was in bed with boyfriend when found by cops

Steven Slater JetBlue flight attendantSome stories are even better than an urban myth.  Steven Slater, that JetBlue Flight attendant who blew his stack at a passenger (an "I'm mad as hell" moment that will go down in history, (pun intended) was arrested at home, in bed with his boyfriend.  First he blew his stack at a passenger, then he went home and blew...well, you get the picture!

via the NY Daily News:

The plane had just landed, but he was ready to take off.

A JetBlue flight attendant blew his top, grabbed some beer and bolted out an emergency slide at Kennedy Airport Monday - then headed home to have sex with his boyfriend.

After he was bonked in the head by a bag, Steven Slater stunned passengers by spewing profanity and ranting about quitting as the flight from Pittsburgh pulled up to the gate about noon.

"To the f-----g a--hole who told me to f--k off, it's been a good 28 years," Slater, 38, purred, cops said. "I've had it. That's it," he added, a passenger said.

The mad-as-hell steward grabbed a couple of brewskis and popped one open before activating the emergency exit, witnesses told airport employees.

After tossing his two carry-on bags on the slide, he followed them to the tarmac.

Slater - who actually first started working for airlines 20 years ago, not 28 - then walked to the AirTrain, stripped off his company tie and flung it off as bemused passengers watched.

Do You Wish at 11:11? Do Your Wishes Come True?

wish-at-1111Many people believe wishing at 11:11 helps make their wishes come true.

But does wishing at 11:11 help?

Numerologists believe that events linked to the time 11:11 appear more often than chance or coincidence. This belief is related to the concept of synchronicity. Other authors believe it is an auspicious sign, and others that it signals a spirit presence. The belief that it has mystical powers has been adopted by believers in New Age philosophies.

So is there something special about 11:11?  Many people automatically look at a clock or see this number Uri Geller noticed this phenomenon and explains:

11:11 explained by URI GELLER

If your attention has been drawn to clocks and watches at exactly 11:11, then read the following:

I started experiencing this rather bizarre occurrence when I was forty years old, at first I thought they were coincidences, I would stand with my back to a digital clock and something made me turn around and I would notice that the time would be 11:11. These incidents intensified I would be checked into hotel rooms on floor 11 room 1111. I started noticing these digits on computers, microwave ovens, cars, documents, etc. I decided to write about it on my website. I was immediately inundated by hundreds of emails from all around the world. Individuals were telling me their own 11:11 stories, almost always saying “I thought it only happened to me”. It is difficult for me to decipher what this is all about but my intuition tells me its positive.

When I see the number 1111: I pray for sick children and world peace, the prayer takes a moment but it's very powerful. Please if you can do the same I believe it helps!!!!

I believe that people who have constant contact with the 1111 phenomena have some type of a positive mission to accomplish. It is still a mystery to me what it is that we all have to do or why are we all being gathered and connected together, but it is very real and tangible, I feel that it is immensely positive, almost like there is a thinking entity sending us these physical and visual signs from the universe. In me, it activates the power of prayer, love and determination to some how help the world. Some day I suspect we will find out the true meaning behind this puzzling phenomenon. It could start happening to you too after reading my website.

The Mystery Spot

The Mystery Spot, Santa Cruz, CA

The Mystery Spot, where the laws of gravity and physics are suspended, where objects roll up hill and people stand on walls.  Are UFOs to blame for the strange goings on here?  Did they plant metal cones in the area to guide their spacecraft, throwing off the laws of gravity? Is there a strange magnetic force that only affects The Mystery Spot? It's a mystery. So if you're driving down the road and you see the Mystery Spot, stop in and see if you can figure it out.

We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat: Killer Whale Hits Yacht

Whale Breaches, Hits Sailboat

The Killer Whale that hit the sailboat video was originally thought to be a hoax, but it actually happened. These pictures and  video is proof that a southern right whale did, indeed, jump out of the water on Sunday and crash onto the sailboat of a couple sailing off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. And just look at the damage done:

The Two Moons Hoax e-mail

Have you received this e-mail which claims August 27 2010 will bring 'the closest encounter between Mars and Earth in recorded history.' Supposedly it will look as though there are two moons in the night sky. Here's an example:

Fw: Two Moons

Dear all,

Look to the sky and you will see two moons on August 27th 2010.

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 @ 11:00 PM (UAE Local Time). It will look like the earth has 2 moons.

The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287!

Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again!!!

The problem is the same e-mail has been circulating since 2003, when Mars and the Earth were very close, it did burn bright in the sky, though not as bright as the moon.
