Craigslist Ad By A Horrid Excuse for a Human Being [Wrongmodo]

If you begin anything with "this might seem strange and offensive," then stop. Seriously, just stop. Don't be like this guy who posted on Craigslist searching for a double amputee to be part of his Chewbacca-carrying-C3PO-around Star Wars costume.

Click on the image for a closer look at the ad.

I'm ashamed to even be in the same country as this guy. Geezus freakin' Christ. [Some Country For Old Men]

Craigslist Ad Seeks Astronaut for One-Way Mission to Titan [Wtf]

If you're located in Northern Alberta, are interested in space travel, aren't afraid of heights and need $25,000 (and won't mind when you explode in mid-air and can't spend it), have I got a Craigslist ad for you!

What's especially great is the half-assed trustworthiness of the ad: The creator worked on it for 40 years! He's a scientist! He uses words like "fuselage!"

My secret space craft is the result of my professional experience and imagination while serving the U.S. military in advanced aeronautics as a scientist. The craft harnesses a revolutionary propulsion system and its fuselage is fabricated with the most advanced material. While considerably safe, I am certain you will make it safely to Titan but there will not be enough fuel to get home. This is for someone unique that has always wanted to see the universe first-hand and has perhaps a terminal view on life here at home. Here's your shot at romantic history.

Unfortunately, this is a Laika-style journey: You ain't coming back from this one. That is, if you actually get off the ground. [CNET]

That’s Right Folks, This Beautiful Laptop Burqa Can Be Yours for Just $35 [Wtf]

Burqa: a robe worn by some Muslim women in public (mostly Afghanistan). But it's not some creepy cloak that connects to your hat so you can do who-knows-what on your laptop in public.

The Craigslist pitch is classic:

Dont bother with those anti glare filters that do not work . Stop those pesky peekers who cant seem to mind their own busniess while your working on your screen…. Trend setters says Laptop Burka is the newest hot ticket on the market today ! Own yours today .Patent Pending…

Real or not, +1 for creepy ingenuity. [Craigslist]
