A Wily Garbage Chute, A Very Smelly Woman
and the Afternoon Edition of Chuck's News of the Weird Daily for Wednesday
Least competent garbage taker-outer: age 74; trash gets stuck in chute; he reaches way down, waaaaaaay down, to dislodge it. The Columbian via Seattle Times
This Australian woman finally, after years of bewilderment, got a medical explanation for why, even after scrubdowns, she still smelled like rotten fish. Australian Associated Press via News.com.au
Once again: Why is it so damn easy for drivers to accidentally turn onto railroad tracks (and then so damn hard to get off once they're on)? (This guy drove on for a mile before getting stuck.) Metrowest Daily News (Framingham, Mass.)
German photographer Bernd Hagemann gets good ink 'n' pixels about his specialty: capturing the varieties of sleepers in China taking naps, in all places, on all surfaces (more than 600 so far). Daily Telegraph (London)
It's a commune on Haight Street in San Francisco so we know what must be going on there! (Wrong. They are the super-religious, passing the days in continuous prayer for divine intervention to pass Proposition 8, the state's man-woman marriage constitutional amendment.) Los Angeles Times
A Danish art collective has made a walking house (like, for protection against floods, where the house can just run for higher ground). Looks kinda like that thingy in Wild Wild West (1999). Has a toilet, kitchen, wood stove, more. The Sun (London)
Professor Music's Weird Link
Well, not a weird link today but a nice collection of those Jay Leno-type "headlines." You can waste some serious quality time here. criggo.wordpress.com
Today's Newsrangers: Scott Langill, Karl Olson, Candy Clouston, Jeff Leiboff
