A British visitor to the US who asked for the bread on his sandwich to be buttered was surprised by the result; the sandwich he received had been buttered on the outside. After he posted a picture of the sticky sarnie on Reddit, many commenters have pointed out that in the US bread for sandwiches is not buttered.

Daily Mail

So now you know!


How uncivilised....

I have always buttered my bread and toast. Maybe some places don't butter. Now if it's a ham sandwich I put mayo or mustard, no butter there. When I say butter, I mean margarine.

You'd think it would make for an awfully dry butty.

A creepy clown is terrorizing a Scottish town and is taunting local police to capture them in a game of cat and mouse because he “wants to play,” according to Sky News.

The outlet reported the clown uses a Facebook account under the name Cole Deimos, and allegedly threatened those around Skelmorlie, a town located 35 miles from the country’s capital of Edinburgh.

The town has about a population of 2,000 people.

You all need some weird news on Halloween.

For over 10 yrs., VHS tapes of the horror film Hellraiser have been appearing on top of a bus shelter on the Old Kent Road in London. They are only visible from the top floor of a double decker bus and even when removed, they always reappear, sometimes up to four at a time. Apparently they can even be seen there on Google Street view from as far back as 2012. Local resident Jack Rogers says 'The most I have seen up there is three. No idea how they get up there'

That is peculiar. Maybe the person placing them is trying to spread some sort of message, like people leaving Bibles in certain places or those little religious comics about the coming rapture. :-)

I reckon it's a dentist who is really REALLY into Helloween but can't put out sweets and candy so is leaving Hellraiser tapes which are much kinder to your teeth .... unless the film is so scary that it makes you gnash your teeth!!

Hey!! ... P'raps it's a way of drumming up business ... sneaky or what ?!

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.

30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.

Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.

It was later revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

What an amazing twist in the web of wyrd and the way their respective fates were destined to intertwine again, albeit in an entirely different emergency situation but with this time Chris being the saviour of Dr Shannon.
