Happy New Year, DB Cooper!

DB Cooper

It’s nice to be wanted.

At this time of the year, singletons particularly are prone to feeling a little self-pity. Indeed, wallowing in loneliness and eggnog hangovers, thousands sit in their darkened apartments, watching Sleepless in Seattle and sobbing themselves to sleep at night.

No more will DB Cooper be among them.

No, unlike Osama bin Laden, the mysterious hijacker known as DB Cooper is now officially a wanted man.

The FBI is resurrecting the mysterious case of D.B. Cooper, who 36 years ago hijacked a plane and parachuted near Portland with $200,000 in stolen loot…

The hijacker who identified himself as Cooper was never seen again. Some of the money was recovered in a mountain area.

Anyone with information on the unsolved mystery may contact the FBI at fbise@leo.gov.

the saddest thing you will ever see

No, really. Forget bunny suicides: this is the sickest, most heart-rending video to ever rape innocent eyes. Turn away now if your heart is made of less than granite; this will be too much to endure. A madly poetic, tension-filled musical Petit Guignol, this just may be the most disturbing thing you will ever see.
