Lazy Dog Owner, Drunk Harvester Driver, Anxious Dominatrix
and the Afternoon Edition of Chuck's News of the Weird Daily for Wednesday
Going for the fence-impalement record, but rescued after two hours (well, plus the one hour it took emergency people to cut through the railing to free his leg). Herald Sun (Melbourne)
Get drunk, steal a combine, wreak havoc in the 'hood. (For you nonfarmers, this is a combine) Associated Press via Yahoo
Brit Kevin Pyle won some sort of contest for the laziest bloke in some-such place, and I'd certainly vote for him, too: The way he walks his dog is by driving his car around very slowly, leading the dog by leash out the window. Daily Telegraph
Recurring Theme: Another senior (age 90) who screwed up the gas pedal and the brake, except this one was fatal (Bonus: She was driving a brand-new Dodge Challenger) WPLG-TV (Miami)
The economic downturn in New York City has hit the dominatrix industry, and parlor owners are considering organizing a political action committee to get their views before the gov't (DomPAC). New York Post
The new Webber Int'l University near Lakeland, Fla., is all-business, all the time. In fact, they just got $6k from a local trucking company for the naming rights to the campus's sewage-treatment plant. The Ledger
There's a certain logic here: Employees of Britain's West Suffolk Hospital needing physiotherapists hire them privately, at gov't expense (instead of going through the Nat'l Health Service, which has lengthy delays for physiotherapy). But they deserve such special treatment, they say, because they need to get back to work quickly so they can resume treating patients. But still—. Daily Telegraph
