Drunk Driving Bikini-Clad Fireman

Visitors at a park in Mason, Ohio, called police after an apparently drunk man climbed into his pickup truck and started driving around, including near the children's play area. When an officer arrived, "I observed [the suspect] to be wearing a very skimpy woman's ... bikini with two tan water balloons taped to the top to simulate two woman's breasts and a pair of pink Speedo flip-flop sandals," Officer Scott Miller said in his report.

I hope this wacko gets put away....far away! An interesting discourse ensues....

Public Humiliation vs. Real Punishment

Save the Bunny!

I found this little gem in the Windows Secrets newsletter. A pretty good newsletter with some useful info and the occasional oddity. Usually the oddities are just that, a little odd, but this is actually kind of entertaining and amusing. The whole point is to save the poor cute bunny...and try not to laugh too hard!

Why $5 Gas Is Good for America

"So what's a price-shocked, carbon-afflicted highway jockey to do? Keep driving. In fact, drive more. The longer gas stays expensive, the higher the chance we'll see alternatives. Put that pedal to the metal. And smile when you see a big black $3 or $4 out in front at the gas pump."

This article does well to point out the fact that it will get worse before it gets better. That's good....right?

A Real Cure for Cancer?

Scientists may have cured cancer last week.

Yep.

So, why haven't the media picked up on it?

Here's the deal. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada found a cheap and easy to produce drug that kills almost all cancers. The drug is dichloroacetate, and since it is already used to treat metabolic disorders, we know it should be no problem to use it for other purposes.

Doesn't this sound like the kind of news you see on the front page of every paper?

The drug also has no patent, which means it could be produced for bargain basement prices in comparison to what drug companies research and develop.

Scientists tested DCA on human cells cultured outside the body where it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells, but left healthy cells alone. Rats plump with tumors shrank when they were fed water supplemented with DCA.

Again, this seems like it should be at the top of the nightly news, right?.....

Festival Sells Deep-Fried Testicles

More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin.
Butch Joubert, 58, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs , he said. "After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Joubert said.

A Sweet So Sour: Kool-Aid Dills

I have to preface this post by saying that pickles are in my Top 5 of least favorite foods. They hover dangerously close to number one, trading off spots with brussel sprouts!

I'm always amazed at the ingenuity of kids and the regional differences we have. I'm sure no carpet-bagging Yankee would have ever thought this one up, yet somehow I bet this would be a treat regardless of which side of the Mason Dixon line you reside. This NYT article explains how this odd combination came to be...

A Sweet So Sour: Kool-Aid Dills

A Truly Evil Toy....

This toy tops the All-Time Ingenious Evil Toys List. Imagine your loser Uncle Tony just nodding off after a three course Thanksgiving dinner. The third quarter is about half over and the women are preparing desert. As Uncle Tony's snores get louder you can tell its time to fire this puppy up! You can picture the rest of the scene as Uncle Tony stops snoring long enough to open one eye and see this sitting on his chest....
