The stray dog that had fallen into the tank of raw sewage in Kalama, Wash., was so grateful to that cop for getting his arms dirty to pull him out that he . . shook himself off right in the cop's face. Associated Press via Yahoo
"I'm a tattooist. I thought you'd like it" (said Dominique Fisher, now on trial for bloodily carving her name on her brand-new lover's body while he was passed out from a four-day booze-n-sexer). Lancashire Telegraph [link from Arbroath]
How to tell that you've let the yard go too long: When it was finally cleared, there was, to everyone's surprise, a Ford Escort, probably parked there since the early 1980s. Daily Mail (London) [yep, photos]

Turritopsis Nutricula The Blob for real!
Body Carving No pictures?? How are we to judge the quality of work to asses the damages?
Ford Escort Foxworthy is going to have a hay-day with this one. <i>If you find a whole car in your yard after mowing the grass you may be a redneck!</b>
Japan Gold Don't they practice cremation over there?
Special Harris I don't get it.
