and the Afternoon Edition of Chuck's News of the Weird Daily for Tuesday
Recurring Theme: We're not in a barter economy yet, so don't expect McDonald's to accept dope as payment for a burger and fries. Associated Press via Yahoo
Your honor (said the defense lawyer), the rape my client committed obviously had no traumatic effect on the woman, as you can plainly see by these Facebook photos of her laughing and carrying on (er, 2008 photos; 2001 rape; 2003 suicide attempt) Daily Mail (London)
The British gov't loses not just laptops and computer disks; the Rural Affairs department lost track of 20,979 cows they were tracking. Daily Telegraph
An animal rights activist is so hardcore that she's now officially changed her name, to CutoutDissection.com, or, as North Carolina now knows her, "Dissection.com, Cutout." Associated Press via New York Times
Chris Lavis is being sought by police Santa Rosa, Calif., in the death of his mother, but in Chris's defense, police believe that right after the mother's killing, Chris dropped her cat off at the vet to make sure it got cared for. Press Democrat
Professor Music's Weird Link o' the Day
There are at least 27 kinds of professional human-anatomy kits used by students to practice surgeries and other treatments ("Medical Manikins"). For example, there's a special one to practice CPR on an overweight person, and one called the "maternal and neonatal simulator." Oobject.com
Today's Newsrangers: Emory Kimbrough, David Melcher, Rae Augenstein, Candy Clouston, John Holsinger, Christopher Nalty, Sandy Pearlman, Phil Daley

So, to the rest of you WeirdUniversers who are aware of the coming Apocowlypse, this means that a whopping 20,000+ cows have just gone off the radar. That's a whole army!

We better get the boys home quick! We're gonna need somebody to do the milking!

Picking on me or agreeing?

The "cow" article needed to be paired with the "lurking bomb" article. When I read the bomb one yesterday, I thought "Geez, I hope someone's gonna be writing down how many they're puttin' up and when they're a-comin' down. I rest my case. Gives a new meaning to that childhood rhyme ..."but, I'm sure glad that cows can't fly."

Big Gary - Careful, keep talking like that and I'm going to throw you a party!

Okay, come on up to CT! 😊

British govt: I guess they'll just have to look for the laptops and computer disks until the cows come home.

That's a teribull pun, jswolf19.

kingmonkey- I'm glad you appreciated it ^_^

We seem to be milking puns for all they're worth around here. Given the talent some of you show for punning, I'm often cowed into submission. Still, this is a serious issue, and one in which we all have steak, so we should get serious. When the Apocowlypse comes, we're all going to suffer injuries, and they won't just be grazes, either.

kingmonkey- you forgot to put an udder in there somewhere. You coulda probably squeezed in a herd, too.
