This story of a doctor’s body being found inside another man’s chimney just keeps getting weirder and weirder. So it starts out that neighbours noticed a bad smell in the neighbourhood and they didn’t know why. Then, someone who was checking on the fish at a neighbour’s house happened to notice fluids in the fireplace, …

A Little Guide Dog Ettiquet Article
Michelle sent me this little “don’t pet the guide dog you moron!” article. Good on the paper for publishing it. It’s sad that the general public needs such reminders, but they’re always welcome. This little article made me think of two things that happened to me recently. I was sitting on the bus and this …
Strangers And Holsters And Beer, Oh My!
Steve sent me this story of late-night chaos, and it would have been a pretty ordinary story, except for two things. First, our star of the show was just strollin’ down the street with a pitcher of beer in his hand. We don’t know if he bought a pitcher of beer and figured he could …
What A Douche! No, I’m Not Talking About The Product!
Good god! Whoever it was at Summer’s Eve who came up with this add that tells women basically to douche for success should be immediately fired. Hell, whoever was in charge of creating and approving and dispatching the ad should all be fired. That not one of them screamed nononononono! means they’re all really really …

Wake N’ Bacon
Somebody really doesn’t like an alarm clock that goes beebeebeebeep, and figures there are others who feel the same. So, whoever this is made at least a concept alarm clock with a totally different stimulus to wake the person up…the smell and sizzle of bacon! Yes, this alarm clock theoretically cooks a strip of bacon. …
Weather Underground’s Braille Page
I received this from a list I’m on. I tried it out, it’s pretty neat! You know how a lot of pages for checking weather forecasts are cluttered with extra crap, graphics and tables? Well, this one isn’t. It’s text-based, so it’s great for mobile phones and us blinks. Not only does it give you …
Paws In The Park
I’m just full of plugs this morning. I got an email from K9 Helpers, an organization that works to pair people with psychiatric diagnoses with service animals if they think they could benefit from some specific tasks the dog could perform, about an event that’s coming up. It sounds like a lot of fun. I’m …
Help My Cousin Raise Money For The Underwear Affair
This is just a quick plug for my cousin Brad. I think I’ve briefly mentioned his wedding, although it was sandwiched in among talk of the place where we stayed. Anyway, he’s walking in an event called The Underwear Affair 2010 in Ottawa. Basically, it’s an event raising money for a cure for those cancers …
