Turkey, Texas. Population: less than 500. So named because the area was heavily populated with, well, turkeys. PETA wants them to change their name to Tofurky. The residents think it’s the dumbest idea ever.

Chapel from Night of the Living Dead to be Torn Down Unless 50k Raised
Unless 50000 dollars can be raised, the chapel featured in several scenes of The Night Of The Living Dead will be torn down. According to this article, only 7000 has been raised. With the zombie apocalypse on the horizon, perhaps we should keep this historical building standing? We’ll need all the structures to hide in that we can find.

This looks like a great idea…too bad most cell phone carriers have data limits now. Hello overage fees.

I really want to buy Goodyear tires now…
Yes, this is old. I realize that. But damn…how condescending and sexist can you be? And did people REALLY buy these tires because they were scared of the little wife getting behind the wheel. Alone? Sheesh.

Taylor Swift–Rapper?
I don’t follow country music and I’m not a rabid fan of Taylor Swift, but I do recognize talent when I see it. The girl has a great voice, persona, and class. Plus she’s so darn cute!! I read an article on MTV that says during her concerts, she likes to do covers of the hometown heroes in her tour stops. She recently did a cover of Eminem’s Lose Yourself. Very nice job, I might add. Very nice.

I’m thinking the reporter doing this story got their measurements off…Just a tad.
