No Good Can Come Of This

ODD NEWS

A new study shows that in hundreds of U.S. counties — mostly in the South — life expectancy has fallen, bald eagles are attacking the post office at an Alaskan port, a former Swiss ambassador to China forks out 300,000 yuan (45,000 dollars) for a replica of  the Venus de Milo statue made from....panda dung, an NYU photography professor, Wafaa Bilal, has a digital camera  implanted in the back of his head as part of a year-long art project,and to really put you in an end-of-times funk, there's an Anthony Weiner action figure on the market in both regular and x-rated editions. HeroBuilders of Oxford, Conn., is offering the "standard" doll for $39.95 and the anatomically correct "for adults only" version for an extra $10.

Of course odd events are nothing new, visit an Elvis impersonator convention. But my friend over at the blog Beacon2Light posted a story about a British security guard who attempted to remove a bothersome wart on his finger using a Beretta shotgun and frankly I think we have a winner of the  "Stupid Story of the Day" award. Seriously? Not even a teensy warning bell went off in your mind, that perhaps no good would come from this self-surgery? What would you have done had the wart been on your forehead?

Over millenia, and this is going to aggravate some of my evangelical friends, I believe these folks get pulled from the gene pool cause so few of them survive to breeding age.....although all too often they breed and pass their lunacy on to future generations. Sigh......
