It seems like the lady made some comment about her.

Man Shoots Himself Trying to Scratch his Back with a Revolver

The key phrase can be found at the beginning of paragraph 2. And clearly we are not dealing with a member of mensa here....

New York City now home to $175 hamburger
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Its creators admit it is the ultimate in decadence: a $175 hamburger.
The Wall Street Burger Shoppe just raised its price from $150 to assure its designation as the costliest burger in the city as determined by Pocket Change, an online newsletter about the most expensive things in New York.
"Wall Street has good days and bad days. We wanted to have the everyday burger (for $4) ... and then something special if you really have a good day on Wall Street," said co-owner Heather Tierney.
The burger, created by chef and co-owner Kevin O'Connell, seeks to justify its price with a Kobe beef patty, lots of black truffles, seared foie gras, aged Gruyere cheese, wild mushrooms and flecks of gold leaf on a brioche bun.

I used to be editor of my high school's yearbook, and I would have died if this had happened:

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - A computer spell-checker run amok christened several Pennsylvania high school students with new — and in some cases unflattering — last names.

Middletown Area High School's yearbook listed Max Zupanovic as "Max Supernova," Kathy Carbaugh as "Kathy Airbag" and Alessandra Ippolito as "Alexandria Impolite," just to name a few

This WikiHow article cracked me up, and it holds a special place in my little Norwegian heart.

http://www.wikihow.com/Celebrate-the-International-Year-of-the-Potato

Quote:
The United Nations declared that 2008 is the International Year of the Potato. The celebration of the International Year of the Potato (IYP) is intended to raise awareness of the importance of the potato, as well as agriculture in general, in addressing issues of global concern, including hunger, poverty and threats to the environment. This article provides some ways for you to join in the celebration of the humble spud.

I heard this on the radio yesterday... an 8 year old boy stepped in "quicksand" (not really) and his Crocs melted to his feet, all because the sun was so intense it heated a line coal shavings buried underground. Very bizarre.

Excerpts from an article in The Denver Post

An 8-year-old boy out walking with family members in Colorado Springs severely burned part of his foot on a patch of "coal spoil" that was 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
The boy, who was not named by authorities, suffered excruciating pain from the injury Monday and was treated by paramedics with a morphine IV, said Sandy Friedman, a spokesman with the Colorado Springs Fire Department.
...
John Leavitt, a Colorado Springs spokesman, said a geologist with the state determined that a "waste pile of coal dust" was super-heated by sunlight.
...
He [the boy] described the ground he stepped on as "quick sand."
The boy was wearing Crocs, and the distinctive breathing holes in one of the resin shoes expanded from the heat and its sole melted down to a fabric mesh, Friedman said.

New Jersey Woman Gives Birth on Commercial Airliner

Perhaps not weird or odd, just very unique and special:
New Jersey Woman Gives Birth on Commercial Airliner
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - A premature baby is expected to stay at Lourdes Medical Center for several weeks after being born on a commercial airline flight.

Jadan Brown was delivered last Wednesday by his father Larry, a trained emergency medical worker, and a Korean surgeon who happened to be onboard a Korean Air Lines flight from the Philippines to New York City, the hospital said Monday.

If the coast guard can lose a light house...

http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pb...NEWS/806040334

WELLFLEET — File it under lost and found in a big way.
Long thought gone forever, a Cape Cod lighthouse that once overlooked Wellfleet Harbor was recently rediscovered almost 3,000 miles away on a rocky Californian cliff.
Point Montara Lighthouse

For more information on the Point Montara Lighthouse youth hostel and other lighthouses visit:
"The story has always been that that little 30-foot lighthouse in Wellfleet was taken down and destroyed," said Jim Walker, chairman of the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation. "Here we are 80 some odd years later and it's been discovered. I think it's fantastic that it's not lost and gone."
