What’s more shocking? That the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum exists or that they have the word “International” in the name? Also, do those cars get free towing? So many questions…
In Goreme, Turkey you’ll find the UFO Museum. Apparently UFOs are quite popular in this part of the world as there are several museums dedicated to the topic. People in Goreme live in homes located in rock formations and caves. One cave is dedicated to UFOs. You’ll find a gigantic...
One wouldn’t expect to visit a 125 year old abbey/monastery and find a museum full of random things. Besides the largest pig hairball and assortment of half deformed cows (including one with 8 legs!) in the taxidermy room, the St. Benedict Abbey Museum in Mount Angel, Oregon also has a...

I have relatives who live in the St. Francis/Cudahy area of Milwaukee, so on a trip up there this past Saturday I thought I’d find if there is anything weird and/or interesting to check out. And what a surprise…there is. Known as the “Keep Cudahy Fun” House, the home of...
Okay, I lied. Before my temporary hiatus last week I promised a Halloween post. Well, that shit didn’t happen. Like it really matters. This isn’t a job where I work on a commission with a boss telling me what to do, so I will post whenever I please. That means...
