Shocking scans show Irish tourist tried to smuggle a kilo of cocaine from Brazil

An Irish holidaymaker has been arrested after X-rays showed he tried to smuggle 72 bags of cocaine through a Brazil airport - in his guts.

A shocking image released by Brazilian Federal Police shows bags loaded with cocaine inside the body of the unidentified 20-year-old man after he was arrested at the Congonhas airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Monday.

According to a federal police press release, the man is a young Irish male who tried to board a flight to Brussels after swallowing 72 capsules containing a total of 830 grams (1.82 pounds) of cocaine - an amount which has a street value of around 150,000 euros.

According to the Daily Mail, Border Security became suspicious of the man - who could now face up to 15 years in jail - after he seemed nervous at the airport.

He was taken to the nearby Santa Misericordia Hospital where the damning scans proved their instincts were correct.

Officials are likely to be on their guard, as around five people a day are caught trying to smuggle drugs through Congonhas Airport.

Only thing I question is that the photo credit is "Getty".  Aren't those stock photos? ...

Porsche Owner Saves 911 From Flood Using Inflatable Cushion

A resident near Louisville Kentucky has saved his Porsche 911 from a flood caused by a rapid flowing river. It appears as though the Porsche owner fastened his yellow 964 to an inflatable cushion, and then tied it to his house to save it from being washed away by the flood.


The home was in close proximity to the Ohio River which flooded this April. It is unclear whether the 964 is a Porsche America Roadster (250 produced) or a C2 Turbo-look roadster. Regardless of what model it is, this car obviously holds enough sentimental value to be made its own life raft and Porsche’s slogan holds true in this case. “Porsche…There is no substitute”.

Did a Pork-Coated Bullet Kill Bin Laden?

Did a Navy SEAL kill Osama Bin Laden with a pork-coated bullet, thus denying him entrance to paradise? That's the highly unlikely claim coming from a shady website selling gun lubricants that it guarantees to be "13% USDA liquefied pig fat."

According to the purveyor of Silver Bullet Gun Oil, the product is "a HIGHLY EFFECTIVE Counter-Islamic terrorist force multiplier." Here's why: 

When fired, BULLETS are coated with SILVER BULLET GUN OIL containing the PIG FAT. The PIG FAT is transferred to anything the BULLETS STRIKE. The coating of OIL CONTAINING PIG FAT effectively DENIES entry to Allah's Paradise to any Islamo-Fascist terrorist KIA with a bullet coming from a firearm using SILVER BULLET GUN OIL in the barrel. SILVER BULLET GUN OIL uses the belief system of Allah's Islamo-Fascist terrorists to put fear of death into them, a fear they haven't had until NOW.
