  • He has to keep busy while Lil’ Wayne’s in jail, right? Word on the street is that Birdman, a.k.a. Bryan Williams, is getting in the oil business with his brother and Cash Money Records co-founder Ronald “Slim” Williams. They have a Web site and everything. It’s called Bronald Oil & Gas. Wonder how they came up with the name. source

Music: Bob Dylan thankful that his weird Christmas album helps the homeless

  • They get food straight to the people. No military organization, no bureaucracy, no governments to deal with.
  • Bob Dylan • Regarding his choice to offer proceeds of his bizarre “Christmas in the Heart” to hungry and homeless charities. He mentioned this in an interview that ran in London’s “The Big Issue” and other similar sold-by-homeless newspapers in the U.S. That’s right, a guy who never does interviews with anyone gave one to a homeless newspaper. Random. But awesome. source

World: Sick: Peruvian gang kills people for their fat for some reason

  • “We are not making this up. They have confessed to this. That’s what’s coming out now.” In case you’re Peruvian and were wondering where your fat friend went recently, it’s possible that he’s one of 60 people who may have been killed for his fat. Four gang members were arrested in the incredibly bizarre scheme, which reportedly netted them $15,000 per liter of fat from European labs. We smell a plot to a horror movie. source

Tech: Microsoft can’t sell certain versions of Windows in China? Uh, OK.

  • You mean legitimate copies of Windows sell in China? Microsoft has an odd situation on its hands. A Chinese court said that due to licensing agreements involving some fonts, the company has to stop selling certain version of Windows in the country. You know it’s a sad statement on your company – and the country blocking you – when analysts in the article talking about the agreement say it won’t have much of an effect due to widespread piracy in that country. source

Offbeat: Flu vaccine + hot cheerleader = Dystonia + WTF is wrong with her?

  • We honestly have no idea what to make of this. It’s honestly very sad and unbelievable, but we’ve never seen anything like it before, so we’re just kind of awestruck. Dystonia sounds like the scariest disease ever, and Desiree Jennings got it from a flu shot. WTF?source
