Radioactive cows
Ukraine had the worst 20th century by far.
Cows radioactive enough to FLIP BITS IN A COMPUTER IN A NEARBY BUILDING.

I'm going to say I don't necessarily buy this story. Cool story, though.
Radioactive cows, sure, but radioactive enough to cause computer problems in a nearby building?

No worries, only 1,000 boxes will be made. That's what, like 2 boxes for each Canadian Walmart? Think there might be collectors of some kind that may want to buy them with such limited supply.

I wanted to post that digital pregnancy test that lets you play the PC game Doom if positive, but I've already lost the "weirdest of the day" I see

Now I am curious.

Aww, learning I was going to have a kid wasn't quite that bad.

Just as long as it didn't happen because you were using a secondhand condom.
What I am wondering is how the condom salesman got all 320,000. Presumably not all personal use because that would make him a busy boy.

Pretty sure the music is just added for the video.
No way speakers can be that small. (probably?)
Actual gameplay is at 1:08
Hopefully the RickRoll pregnancy test is never created.

He's just using the display screen. (There is more equipment outside the tester's 'shell', and the actual pregnancy testing part has been gutted-for example, it can't be used to enable the game if test is positive)

Aww, anyone could do that.
Very disappointing!
The real-deal Doom Pregnancy Test and other varieties will have to wait for future generations I guess.

This is why we read the news every day.
Swearing parrots separated after telling folk where to go
Five African grey parrots at a Lincolnshire zoo believed to be a bad influence on each other
Five foul-mouthed parrots have been separated after learning to swear at a Lincolnshire zoo.
The parrots – named Billy, Elsie, Eric, Jade and Tyson – joined Lincolnshire Wildlife Park’s colony of 200 grey parrots in August. But soon after, they started encouraging each other to swear.
“We saw it very quickly – we are quite used to parrots swearing but we’ve never had five at the same time,” Steve Nichols, CEO of the wildlife park, told PA. “Most parrots clam up outside, but for some reason these five relish it.”
The parrots have since been distributed to different areas of the park so they do not “set each other off”.
No one had complained about the parrots, Nichols said, but they were separated for the sake of young visitors and in the hopes that they would pick up natural calls from the other African greys.
“People have come to us but they think it’s highly amusing, we haven’t had one complaint,” he said. “When a parrot tells you to fudge off, it amuses people very highly. It’s brought a big smile to a really hard year.”
The park is also home to parrot Chico, who made headlines in September after learning to sing a range of pop songs, including Beyoncé’s If I Were a Boy.
