I read in the newspaper today, about this cat named Gary Dudek, a 54 year old medical company sales rep, who was indicted on charges of stealing over $350k worth of human skin over several years of working for a regenerative medicine firm, managing accounts for the bioscience department of mercy Philadelphia hospital, where he was free to order skin grafts for the hospital whenever he wanted. what in the holy ©¡@# ¶¿$%≠&*☻☠?<?>§★/+¢˚=®! ! is this world coming to?

anybody else here have any weird news to report? "that thing they found at the bottom of the lake" indeed :lol:

I love weird news,I used to collect clippings from the paper when I worked in town,people always left newspapers at the cafe.
Sometimes the police reports were hilarious.Someone called in ninjas fighting in a parking lot,I bet they cracked up when they got the call to check on that.Of course if it was real ninjas,maybe not investigate,it always ends badly when you interrupt ninjas. :D

in my local small town paper, a news item like "jaywalking chicken crosses road and causes wreck" makes the front page. :lmao:

Unfortunately, here in Spokane/Spokane Valley, the local paper, The spokesman Review, isn't nearly imaginative enough to have such great stories. :(

Forgive me, but I don't know what that is.
