The most boring day ever

Not much tonight, but what the hell:

THE FINAL SNACK DEATHMATCH. Reese's cups are dying out there, people!

Birmingham could get up to 3 inches of snow overnight. Naturally, there is panic in the streets.

Electronic cigarettes, what?

Are the photos of Borneo's monster snake real? AHHHHHH.

What Happened to Weird? Paranormal sightings are on the

My immediate, very cynical response was, "Well, technology makes it harder to fake things nowadays." I mean, for the average person--people with more expertise can look at your "ghost" photo or whatever and go, "Nice photoshop, dumbass."

You know what? I can't remember where I read it--possibly Wikipedia under "haunting"?--but apparently carbon monoxide poisoning causes a lot of the effects of being "haunted." Wait, here we are:

In one famous case, carbon monoxide poisoning was clearly identified as the cause of an alleged haunting. Dr. William Wilmer, an ophthalmologist, described the experiences of one of his patients in a 1921 article published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. "Mr. and Mrs. H." moved into a new home, but soon began to complain of headaches and listlessness. They began to hear bells and footsteps during the night, soon accompanied by strange physical sensations and mysterious figures. When they began to investigate, they found the previous residents had experienced similar symptoms. Upon examination, their furnace was found to be severely damaged, resulting in incomplete combustion and forcing most of the fumes into the house rather than up the chimney.[6] After the stove was fixed, the family fully recovered and did not experience any further unusual events.
