Delaware Paving Driveways with Ammo
Down in Sussex, DE, it's common for folks to pave their driveways with crushed clam shells rather than concrete or black top. Give it that beachy feeling, plus you get more bang for your buck. Right now, though, many homeowners may be getting a literal bang out of the bargain!
Seems clam harvesters have been dredging up surplus munitions that were dumped at sea decades ago along with the traditional clams. Reports say that since February, bomb disposal teams have had to respond to 9 complaints from homeowners, and have recovered over 100 war relics from resident yards and driveways.
In Bill Layton's yard last month, 3 WWII pineapple grenades and a WWI French rifle grenade, and 13 other grenades were found and removed. "We've been riding over them all winter," said Bill.
Damned lucky ya didn't blow up, Bill - you should play the lottery!

Chef Awarded Honor for Refusing to Cook
So 32 year old Zhang Xingguo is a chef who has been making a habit of being fired or forced to resign for refusing to cook meats. Rather than saying, "Yo, dude - you're a chef: cook something", he has instead been awarded the title "Green Chef Protecting Wildlife" by the China Wildlife Conservation Association.
Zhang has been fired 12 times and quit 20 times from various cooking jobs because he doesn't like to cook some of the standard fare in China: Civet cats, raccoons, badgers, weasels, baby deer, cats and dogs.
He's fine with serving up snakes, frogs, and tortoises, but he doesn't do the fur-bearing creatures.
I'm thinking it's not too late for Zhang to consider a new line of work, or a new country.

Jumpin' Jehosephat!
Michelle and Jim-Bob Dugger have 14 kids so far, and have a 15th on the way. The deeply-religious southern Baptist family also has a serious 'J' issue. The kids are named Joshua, Jana, John, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joanna, Jedadiah, Jeremia, Jason, James and Justin, and the unborn child is already named Jackson.
When asked about her large J family, Michelle says, "I think we realised children are a gift. I would like more. I guess we'll have to wait and see."
