Man eats 10 pounds of turkey, 4 pounds of mashed potatoes, 3 pounds of cranberry sauce, and 2-1/2 pounds of beans plus an entire pumpkin pie, all in 15 minutes to show support for the hungry.
That's like burning down an apartment complex to support the homeless.

People disrobe to bask in the moonbeams reflected off the highly polished parabolic mirrors on the Interstellar Light Reflector, a five story tall structure built in a 45 foot deep crater in the Arizona desert known for its dark skies, only a few miles from Kitt Peak Observatory. Richard and Monica Chapin have sunk over $2 million into this one of a kind contraption.
Some visitors to the site believe exposure to the concentrated moonlight has helped alleviate their medical conditions. Eric Carr, a Tucson hypnotherapist said he noticed an improvement his chronic asthma condition. Others report it's like swimming underwater, still others report it's like standing in a warm breeze.
Let's see: one sees an improvement in asthma and it's like standing in a warm breeze. That couldn't possibly be because IT'S IN ARI-fucking-ZONA, could it?
Scientists say there is no evidence that it has any effect on medical conditions and diseases, there being only anecdotal claims.
That's not the same University of Arizona that had a professor doing UFO research is it? Oh yeah, it is. They should know something about moonbats then.

This story alleges they dropped a broken toilet on a target in Vietnam in 1965. Dropped in a dive bomb attack, it turned bowl to windward and almost hit the A-1H Skyraider aircraft before it whistled all the way to the ground.
I knew there were still come propeller-driven aircraft in use in the Vietnam conflict, mainly in cargo planes and observation craft, but I didn't know there were still fighter-bombers of this type, very much a WWII era aircraft. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Douglas A-1H Skyraider.

That gives new meaning to the phrase "flush with victory".

Protests from female soldiers have led to the Swedish military removing the penis of a heraldic lion depicted on the Nordic Battlegroup's coat of arms
Quote:
"The army lacks knowledge about heraldry. Once upon a time coats of arms containing lions without genitalia were given to those who betrayed the Crown," said Sagerlund.

Sergeant Law Power of the Royal Canadian Mounties: "In general, if there is an alternative solution to judicial action available [in bullying cases] we'll exercise that. But in this particular case arresting these males was in the best interest of the victim and the school."
Sergeant Law Power? That's the only reason I posted this because the story isn't all that remarkable these days.

Herb Caen, late columnist for the SF Chronicle, used to regularly feature these, which he called "namephreaks."
My friend has a dentist, for example: Dr. Chew
The music professor at a Calif uni: Dr. Clinkscale
My personal favorite, which I actually sent in to Caen (and he eventually turned into a joke in his column) was (remember, this was the 90's, a long time ago):
The Postmaster General of the United States, Mr Anthony Frank.
That's the most brilliant, subtle namephreak I've ever heard!
To "frank" something is to stamp it for mailing. Members of Congress have the "franking privilege" -- their official mail is sent without need to pay for postage.
Another Hollywood celebrity couple has split up. Robin Wright Penn filed for divorce from Sean Penn after 11 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Eleven years is a very long marriage by Hollywood standards.
In other news, Robin Wright is now available.
