"Strange Brew" is a new addition to the website. Let's refer to it as a column of sorts. With the world turned on its ear, and life seemingly becoming stranger by the minute, there's a plethora of odd, alarming, and downright peculiar new bytes bubbling up at all times. It's sometimes hard to capture them all. So here's where we intend to boil it all down. Consider "Strange Brew" an attempt to neatly package the absurdity of 21st century life.

London's transportation system was bombed this week. And while this news is not strange, it is alarming. With the official death toll exceeding 50, authorities are still recovering bodies from the wreckage in The Underground. Unfortunately, it seems living with the constant threat of terror attacks and suicide bombings is now just another modern stress we must endure. It is quite a sad fact, and our thoughts are with our friends in London.

On somewhat of a lighter note (bad pun intended), Steve Vaught, a 400 lb California man who embarked on a 3000 mile weight loss pilgrimage from San Diego to New York City this past April, has just reached Arizona. However, I'm hard-pressed to say whether he's making good time or not. He has lost 50 lbs though.

Do you like porn? How about railroad hobos? Ever think about what some titles of hobo porn films would be? Me neither. But here's a a vital link [after Pixelsurgeon] to a Hobo porn film name generator, just in case you're curious. My favorite title so far: Hot Squat Hanky Panky.

BUSTED! I found this gem while perusing Arkitip's newsfeed the other day. The reactions on the faces of these poor people are priceless. Though, I think I'd probably look the same way if someone was unsuspectedly snapping photos of me getting it on.

Last but not least: A North Carolina man is auctioning off his beard, which he claims is possessed by the Devil or some dark spirit, on eBay, San Francisco-based artist Jill Miller is waiting for bigfoot, and new findings on the origins of Stonehenge.

THIS JUST IN: R&B singer Omarion is a douchebag.
