Aesop fable experiment

If you give a crow (well, really a rook) a worm in a tube of water, will the bird fill the tube with rocks to get the worm to rise to the top?



Here's the MSNBC link:

Now if we could just find that dog with the bone growling at his image in the water.

Toxic Seaweed

A number of beaches in northern France are not safe for use due to the presence of toxic seaweed. Nitrates have contaminated the water and the seaweed. When the seaweed is washed up on the beach it rots, as it rots it produces hydrogen sulfide. When the crust that forms over the rotting seaweed is disturbed the gas, which is as poisonous as cyanide, is released. A worker paid to clear one beach was overcome and remains in a coma. Another instance involved someone riding a horse, the rider was rendered unconscious and the horse died. I guess life's not just a walk on the beach anymore. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Rotting-Seaweed-Toxic-Fumes-Alert-In-France-Tourists-Told-To-Avoid-Beaches/Article/200908115355431?lpos=World_News_

Driving at seven years old

When your Dad says its time to go to church and you don't want to -- what's the solution? Take the car for a spin, get chased by the police and show up on the national news.



It all seems so "OJ" until the little tyke hops out at the end and runs for the garage.

Adultry Can Be Painful

Donessa Davis found out how painful adultery can be when you get caught. His wife, Tracy, found out he had some internet honeys on the side and clued three of them in on his game. One of the mistresses, Theresa Ziemann, invited Davis to meet her at a motel for a 'massage'. When he arrived she convinced him to allow her to tie him to the bed and blindfold him. Next she allowed two more of the mistresses in the room. Wendy Sewell, Michelle Belliveau, along with Zeimann proceeded to hit Davis and threaten him with a gun. As the final punishment they glued his privates to his stomach with super glue. The women then took his mobile phone, wallet, and car leaving Davis to be later discovered and taken to the hospital. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1204038/women-revenge.html

Bonus: There are pictures of the 'lovely' ladies as well.
