Today in History: April 28, 1937 Mr. and Mrs. Hussein welcomed their little bundle of joy into the world and named him Saddam. Saddam Hussein then went on to become an international star.
More importantly, however, April 28, 1985 - The largest sand castle in the world was completed near St. Petersburg, FL. It was four stories tall.

A conveyor printing press is used to print the tiny white M's on each M&M candy. Because the peanut sizes vary, the press must be always adjusted to prevent smashing the peanuts in peanut M&Ms. Regular M&Ms, all the same size, are much easier to send through the printer. --coolquiz.com

Robbers Select Wrong Target
Two Palestinian robbers really picked the wrong guy to rob the other day in the Gaza Strip. According to Scotsman.com, the two Palestinians attempted to stick up a Hamas suicide bomber who was on his way to infiltrate Israel with a guide and another Hamas member.
The Palestinian criminals, known members of a car theft ring that brings stolen vehicles to Gaza from Israel, stopped the Hamas dudes on the road. They demanded the Hamas bomber give up his bombs etc to them or else. So bucky detonated himself and they all blew up.
Note to self: "Don't say 'or else' to suicide bombers..."

Moscow Plans Monument to Processed Cheese
In honor of the 40th anniversary of Moscow's processed cheese food Druzhba, the Karat plant that produces the cheese will be sponsoring a monument to the culinary joy. The monument will be 'a people's monument', and the individual who comes up with the best Cheesy Statue Design will receive an award of approx $1000USD.
“Druzhba cheese gave a stimulus to the development of the processed cheese production of the whole Russia. It is worth being immortalized,” Russian Information Agency Novosti quoted Karat director general Vladimir Korsun as saying.
Shenderovich was quoted by the radio as saying that “in the most difficult times, it was hard to live without [Druzhba], and much easier to live with it.”
Possibly because it goes so well with vodka.

Spreading the Memories. Literally.
When shooting enthusiast Tony Mullan was contemplating the here-after from his bed, he requested that his friends help him 'go out with a bang'. So when he succumbed to his year-long illness, his buddies got together and fulfilled his dreams.
His best friend took 50 shotgun cartridges, removed the lead and put Tony's ashes in them. He is also arranging to have some of his ashes packed into clay pigeons used in tournaments.
Now every time he or his buddies go out shooting, they blast off a couple of Tonies, and remember him fondly.
Isn't that the sweetest thing you ever did hear?

Bunnie Bulge
The obesity issue has reached new lows. Now, it's the bunnies. Vets are telling people to stop feeding their bunnies so much food because they are getting too fat and suffering from overgrown teeth and gut problems. Two words: Puh Leeeeeese.
