I'm surprised Mike Rowe is not getting off the plane with a shovel....

Enough fat to fill nine double-decker buses is being removed from sewers under London's Leicester Square.

A team of "flushers" equipped with full breathing apparatus has been drafted in with shovels to dig out an estimated 1,000 tonnes of putrid fat.

This is pretty nasty, when you put your 3D glasses into that recycle box it looks like all the theaters do is repackage them. That's right, no wash no sanitize.

According to a small research carried out by Good Housekeeping tested glasses from seven theaters in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where every pair turned out to be infested with germs that might result into some serious infections.

Or - keep your pair of glasses and bring it back with you to the movies. That way they're clean and you can wear them in everyday life to have some fun.

Or quit getting so excited about these evil germs and let your bodies immune system do what it's supposed to.

If you're not comfy with spiders (specially overlord sipders of doom that move like lightning) you might just want to skip this one.

One thing you can thank Global Warming for is larger and creepier spiders... oh yeah, like we needed that.

You did know that's why it's so good to the last drop right? Don't freak out it's been that way for years.

“Preground—you know, your big bulk coffee that you buy in a tin—is all processed from these huge stockpiles of coffee … that get infested with cockroaches,” says Emlen. “And there’s really nothing they can do to filter that out. So it all gets ground up in the coffee.”

Well, that's one advantage I suppose to grinding your own beans.

Oh and you coffee snobs out there that are having a good laugh -

eat chocolate?

Chocolate, like coffee, is constructed from “huge piles of … cocoa beans, all piled up, that then gets ground up into something we all love and eat,”

As long as these stockpiles aren't coming from some back corner slum apartment in the thick of New York, I'm cool with it. Extra protein.

Holy cow - I think that you might just want to leave the light on... and bonus for thinking "How'd they get it there? "

Today's headline demonstrates why you shouldn't hoard... at least up to a point.. I'd say that point was reached when you started getting lost in your own house. I'd also say that point was well passed when you died after getting hopelessly lost in your own house.

Not to mention - whens the last time a dive team was called in to a house?

"Locals say Mr Stewart, who wore a pony-tail, was often spotted riding his bike around the streets."

I'm glad they told us he had a pony tail, that clears things up.....

Ok, this may not rank over the messiest apartment - but I think we can all agree this guy (and it has to be a guy) needs to return those cans and spend the money on a Rolls Royce or something.

First there were the bacon and eggs bandages, then came the duct tape versions.. and now in a somewhat darker twist we have the creepy scabs version.

Only 4 bucks!

Seriously if you're ever bummed out about your place looking a bit run down just view this one and you will think you're living in a palace.

If you are a neat nut to a fault you may just wanna skip this one.

I'd so love to hear the support call on this one - "Yeah my pc won't boot...."

I never saw such large piles of cigarette butts or garbage, or a computer that is almost completely covered in ash or a dirtier bathroom.

Warning - if you are anywhere near squeamish with video of someone eating a huge larvae - don't even hit play on this one. You have been warned.

I'm no big fan of Bear ever since it was revealed he's occasionally sleeping at 5 star resorts on these shoots... But that all aside on this particular video ... there is absolutely no way of denying that he will eat anything, no matter how repulsive. I had to link this for pure queasy factor.
