STATE COLLEGE, PA –  Coach Jerry Sandusky,  recently arrested for child rape, has changed his name to Jerry Toledo.

After a massive protest by citizens of Sandusky, Ohio – a city famous for being the home of Cedar Point Amusement Park –  Jerry Sandusky, the disgraced Penn State Football Coach and alleged child rapist – has bowed to pressure and changed his name to Jerry Toledo.

There is a massive protest planned for this weekend in Toledo, Ohio.  No word from Cleveland yet.

Jerry Sandusky, who was born “Gerald Pedophile”, changed his name to “Sandusky” so that no one at Penn State would figure out who he really was.  Jerry had been to Cedar Point with a number of young boys he was tutoring in back rubs and thigh massages.  He liked Sandusky, so he changed his name.

But no more… Now he is Jerry Toledo.

While waiting to be put in jail and gang-raped by his fellow inmates, Jerry Toledo has decided to open a petting zoo and is applying for a job as a Cub Scout Leader.

 Joe Paterno, the Penn State Coach (and legend) was fired from his job after 47 years do to the scandal.  Sources close to the team say that Jerry Toledo wants to run onto the field with his team , “one last time”.   Many of the students think this is a good idea, because it will give them an opportunity to run on the field and let him know how they feel about him.

Feed him to the Lions.

Numerologists, philosophers, astronomers and psychics all agree – 11.11.11 begins a rebirth on earth!

According to top psychics, including the world-renowned seer, Moses Blue, tomorrow will be the luckiest day for all humans living on earth.  Most will experience pure joy and ecstasy.

“Many had believed that November 11th in 2100 would be the luckiest day in all humankind, but after reviewing all my cosmic calculations and upon extreme divine reflection, it is abundantly clear that this year, 2011, will begin a rebirth on earth and bring extreme happiness and joy to all humans,” said the elusive Moses Blue.

Gamblers also feel that tomorrow will be “lucky” for them. Las Vegas and Atlantic City are completely booked and many feel that this will be their “lucky day.”

Many philosophers agree with them. Dr. Susan Begley, a metaphysics professor at Oxford University, has said that the world’s leading metaphysical scholars got together in Prague earlier this year and after twelve hours of debate, they concluded that the world will begin a spiritual and intellectual awakening on November 11th.

“It was clear to all of us, that at 11:11pm on November 11th, 2011 – the world will be renewed, and a new Enlightenment will begin.  And philosophers will be kings again!”  Begley said.

Numerology researchers asked (via the internet) two questions to over a million people worldwide over the last two weeks. The results may surprise you:

Question One:
What do you believe will happen on 11/11/11?

77% Something good will happen on a global scale.
21% Nothing will happen (just another day in the Land of Nod).
2% Something bad will happen on a global scale.

Question Two:
Do you feel that 11/11/11 will be a lucky day for you?

81% Yes.
19% No.

Astronomers believe that on 11.11.11.  a “portal” will open up in the heavens, allowing all “goodness and light” to flow TOWARDS earth, rather than AWAY from it.   “It is a remarkable discovery that was made by NASA scientists in 2004.  This day could go down as the most significant day in the history of universe since the Big Bang.”

So… enjoy yourself tomorrow.  A new day is dawning!!

Underwater Cemetery (Miami, USA)

The Neptune Memorial Reef also known as the Atlantis Memorial Reef or the Atlantis Reef is an underwater mausoleum for cremated remains and the world’s largest man-made reef (covering over 600,000 square feet (56,000 m²) of ocean floor). The place was chosen at 3.25 miles (either 6.0 km or 5.2 km) off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida. It is a type of burial at sea and the first phase is estimated to be able to accommodate 850 remains, with an eventual goal of more than 125,000 remains. The man-made reef, located three miles (5 km) off the coast of Florida’s Key Largo, opened in 2007 after a number of difficulties, including permits. The reef stretches across 16 acres (65,000 m2) of ocean floor designed as both a home for sea life and “a destination for divers”. Cremated remains are mixed into different structures and columns.

Among its residents: 86-year-old Edith Hink of Naples who passed away last year. Her family decided she loved the water so much, they’d try something new. Hink was cremated and buried at the underwater cemetery off the coast of Miami Beach.

Sucre’s General Cemetery (Bolivia)

In Bolivia, at the Sucre’s Cementerio General, the family pays for a vault upon their loved one’s demise: $10,000 for seven years. After those seven years are up, the deceased’s corpse is moved from the vault into the ground. And after twenty years in the ground, the remains are removed entirely. Seems kind of harsh, but still: there are probably very few people whose deaths need more than 27 years of mourning.

Men are often buried with their workmates, betraying how tightly bound a Bolivian’s identity is to his profession. Here, they’re not so much family men who happen to work as truck drivers; they’re truck drivers who happen to have a family. In Sucre’s cemetery, large common vaults owned by unions — coal miners, lawyers and teachers among them — occupy a lot of ground. Likewise, children aren’t buried with their parents, but with other children under a large hill of white graves, which is both beautiful and sad. The kids’ shrines are filled with Disney characters, coke bottles, toys and poems. Adults, too, have shrines filled with the things they loved — often tiny liquor bottles, or a pack of cigarettes.

There’s a lot of history in Sucre’s cemetery, as well. Among the many presidents buried here is Hilarión Daza, who sparked the disastrous War of the Pacific with Chile, which cost Bolivia its coastline.

The Merry Cemetery (Romania)

The original character of the cemetery is first of all suggested by its name: Cimitirul Vesel that means The Merry Cemetery. This paradoxical name is due to the vivid colours of the crosses and the amusing or satirical epitaphs carved on them. It is said that this joyful attitude towards death is a legacy of the Dacians who believed in the immortality of the soul and that death was only a passage to a better life. They did not see death as a tragic end, but as a chance to meet with the supreme god, Zalmoxis.

The cemetery dates back to the mid-1930′s and is the creation of the local folk artist Stan Ioan Patras, sculptor, painter and poet rolled in one. Patras used all his skills to create colourful tombstones with naïve paintings describing, in an original and poetic manner, the persons that are buried there as well as scenes from their lives.

City Of The Dead (North Ossetia)

Christian churches, agricultural prosperity and a magnificent ancient necropolis, known as the City of the Dead attract tourists from all over Russia. The village of Dargavs, or as the locals call it, the City of the Dead, has a cemetery with almost 100 ancient stone crypts where people that lived in the valley buried their loved ones along with clothes and belongings.

The first mention about the City of the Dead dates back to the beginning of the 14th Century. The ancestors of Ossetians settled down on the five mountain ridges, but the land was so expensive they were forced to choose the windiest and most unserviceable place for their cemetery. In the times of the plague many people, with no one left to bury them, would come to the crypt and wait for their death.

Newgrange (Ireland)

Newgrange, County Meath, Ireland, was constructed over 5,000 years ago (about 3,200 B.C.), making it older than Stonehenge in England and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The Megalithic Passage Tomb at Newgrange was built about 3200 BC. The kidney shaped mound covers an area of over one acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are richly decorated with megalithic art. The 19 meter long inner passage leads to a cruciform chamber with a corbelled roof. It is estimated that the construction of the Passage Tomb at Newgrange would have taken a work force of 300 at least 20 years.

Small River Cemetery No. 5 (Xinjiang, China)

In the middle of a terrifying desert north of Tibet, Chinese archaeologists have excavated an extraordinary cemetery. Its inhabitants died almost 4,000 years ago, yet their bodies have been well preserved by the dry air.

The cemetery lies in what is now China’s northwest province of Xinjiang, yet the people have European features, with brown hair and long noses. Their remains, though lying in one of the world’s largest deserts, are buried in upside-down boats. And where tombstones might stand, declaring pious hope for some god’s mercy in the afterlife, their cemetery sports instead a vigorous forest of phallic symbols, signaling an intense interest in the pleasures or utility of procreation.

Hanging Coffins (Philippines)

About six hours by bus from the Luzon island town of Banaue, north of Manila, the people of Sagada have devised a unique burial ritual involving the placement of dead relatives into caves after carefully preparing a hollowed out log. These coffins are carved by the elderly before they die; if they are too ill or weak their son or other close relative will do it for them. This ritual involves pushing the bodies into the tight spaces of the coffins, and often bones are cracked and broken as the process is completed.

After the deceased are put inside these coffins they are then brought to caves high in the cliffs where they join the coffins of other ancestors. The Segada people prefer to be buried in the cliffs than to be buried in the ground and have been doing this for more than 2,000 years.
