Corpse Fiend Dentist

Michael Mastromarino, a Philadelphia area oral surgeon, had been caught for acting as a ring leader in a corpse theft organization which involved several of the area funeral homes beginning in 2001. Mastromarino has been working with the funeral directors to harvest reusable body parts from the recently deceased and selling them illegally to tissue banks, hospitals, and even denture makers. Procedures using the stolen corpses have been performed throughout the U.S. and Canada by unknowing doctors. If you've had a anything from a hip replacement to dental implant since 2001, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Vintage Metal Cup

This ebay auction certainly qualifies for The Web is Weird. It is a rare vintage anti-masturbatory cup that was given to boys to prevent nocturnal emissions. The price is high but he auction promises a rare piece of conservative history that has now become extinct in our modern culture. All I can think is, "OMG that must be COLD!" Check out the auction HERE.

A Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Samba group has been barred from running their Holocaust float in theupcoming notorious carnival which the town is known for. The float was to feature a large pile ofmannequins made to look like Holocaust victims and a couple of dancing girls on top of the pile wearing Nazi uniforms. Wow. Just wow.

Kid's Book on Hallucinogens

This early 1990's children's book on the dangers of hallucinogens is full of hilarious imagery that attempts to warn kids of the dangers of hallucinogenic substances. The book appears to be targeted towards a 9 year old but contains info on lsd, shamans, and brain chemistry in a "my first reader" format. Very strange but the pictures are priceless. Check out the full article and additional pictures @ SILVER JACKET.
Those friends above are total jerks! This poor kid is obviously freakin' out and they're smiling and waving at him!

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Music

Hillary Clinton has been using a controversial song in her campaign by Golden Earring called "When the Lady Smiles." The music video for the song includes disturbing imagery of a nun getting raped and the attacker's brain being eaten by a dog. It's really weird and really creepy. Something tells me that Hillary has never seen this video. However, in her defense I'm not sure very many people out there even know this video exists. At least until now.

Biomechanical Sculptures

Christopher Conte is an artificial limb designer and robotics hobbyist. He has created some of the most awesome looking robotic sculptures I have ever seen on the internet. His works have a kind of "cyberpunk" or "steampunk" look to them and never cease to have a unique look of individuality. However, some of his stuff actually remind me a little bit of the Terminator movie franchise such as the pic above. Check out his gallery of works @ WIRED.

Death Ray of Cleveland

According to this historic article a death ray machine was created in Cleveland, OH in 1934. This death ray apparently had the capability of killing things with frightening efficiency "turning blood to water." Witnesses to demonstrations of the machine are said to have seen it kill dogs, cats, and rabbits instantly when the ray was directed at them. The ray was supposedly supressed by the government until it could be used for "defensive" military purposes. Check out the full original article scan HERE.

Stuck in Asphalt

This Flickr photo set from user STR820 has some truly unique images of random things that have been pressed into asphalt. Cans, keys, and random scraps of metal. The most interesting thing about these pictures is that they almost seem like fossils of our current time which one day may be studied like we study the dinosaurs. There is sort of an eerie nature to them. Check out the photo set HERE.
