We All Float Down Here

Possibly the creepiest thing BratNews has ever seen *shiver* How such a creation ever shrugged off this John Wayne Gacy nightmare we'll never know. Drop the cheeseburger and step away from the child molester.



And to further ruin your day, heres the first ad. "I know all the boys and girls." Yes we bet you do Ronald, we bet you do. Do they float?

My Eve

Holy G strings, if Eve (the one who knocked about with Adam in Eden) looked anything like this, then yowsers, Adam was one lucky son of a bitch.

Lost Volumes

"Rare Books" Section at the House of Wisdom

The rarest of the rare books from the East and West hemispheres housed in the Grand Library of Baghdad. The largest library in the world, and contained some of the oldest books ever written from all over the world. It's where the Persians kept the wisdom and successes from their history, including discoveries in science, medicine, astronomy and technology.

This place held books about numerous subjects we know nothing about, but possibly subjects we could never know about, such as extinct animals or plant-life (the Romans discovered a plant that worked so well as birth control they farmed it to extinction.
Baghdad was once the capital of the world for science and mathematics, who knows what greatness they had, stuff we;ll never know.

Damned shame the Mongols chucked every book into he Tigris river.

Behan

Drunk and chatty

Brendan saw that it paid to be drunk; the public wanted the witty, iconoclastic, genial "broth of a boy," and he gave that to them in abundance, exclaiming: "There's no bad publicity except an obituary." His health suffered terribly, with diabetic comas and seizures occurring regularly.
Behan had married Beatrice Salkeld (the daughter of painter Cecil Salkeld) in 1955. A daughter, Blanaid, was born in 1963. Love, however, wasn't enough to bring Behan back from his alcoholic abyss. By early March 1964, the end was in sight. Collapsing at the Harbour Lights bar, he was transferred to the Meath Hospital in central Dublin, where he died, aged 41.

Where exactly was the "Harbour Lights" bar that Brendan Behan took his final drink?
Since he was taken to Meath hospital, this was somewhere in the "Dublin 8" area?

Thanks to the internet I have discovered the Harbour Lights was in Echlin street, which is just off St James Street, near the Guinness Brewery. I don't think there is a bar there anymore though. He underwent an emergency surgery for a tracheotomy at the Meath Hospital. He died on March 20th from sclerosis of the liver aged 41 and was buried on March 22nd at Glasnevin Cemetery in North Dublin.

On Rolled the Mad Ball

We all knew a kid at school who could be counted on to do daft stunts for attention. The permenant classroom jester, ready to perform whenever he (it was usually always a boy) fancied a bit of ego massaging. Jump in a river fully clothed? Sure thing! Dance on the headmasters car? Can do! Hell if there was a guaranteed large audience, this 'crazy funster' could even be persuaded to eat live earthworms. How do I know? Because I was this boy! Usually the type of kid to be found sitting under a tree reading a book, or painting heavy metal bands logos on my books, if ever I felt the need for the cheers from my classmates, I would do anything. Well almost anything.
Fastforward twenty five years and with the advent of the internet, and more importantly Youtube, the stakes have been raised way higher than jolly japes in the classroom. And it isn't only attention hungry teenagers who are risking all (even their lives) for high ratings on their Youtube channel. Its going end in tears one day, thats if it already hasn't in cases we dont know of.
With so many video hosting websites, everyone can be a reality television 'star' today and by and large its a good thing. Travel videos saved for eternity online, the ability to share videos for far away relatives and friends to enjoy. I love it. But as with anything to do with the internet, it has a dark side. Especially when it comes to loungeroom legends (legends in their own mind) and disciples of MTV's Jackass.
