Leaf Rage
Stamford, CT, resident Michael Peters is angry. He has lived at his home for over 30 years and not once, not ONCE, have the town workers cleared up his leaves. But they clear everyone else's. And, after those thirty years, Michael has finally snapped.
According to city worker Robert Gerbert, Monday was the day that Mikey became "a raving maniac" when the leave cleanup crew again refused to take his leaves. (Mike's leaves are not on the street where the workers collect them, they are on a side strip considered to be Mike's personal right of way.)
"He grabbed my jacket and said, 'You're not going anywhere,'" Gerbert said. "The guy was spitting and swearing it was the most disgusting scene I've ever seen."
Cops were called, charges were pressed, and Mike gets to go to court Dec 1.
Immediately after Mike got out of jail on bail, he went home and called the city to complain that the leaves still weren't picked up.
I guess Highway Supervisor Michael Zarba put it best when he said, "People get very emotional about leaves."

Stale News?
eBay has taken pity on the plight of Diana Duyser and allowed her to put her 10 year old holy sandwich back up for bids. Earlier in the week, Diana put up her decade-old grilled cheese sandwich at the internet auction site advertising it has having an image of the Virgin Mary on it. eBay foolishly thought she was joking, and took the item down.
Diana wouldn't take no for an answer. She convinced eBay Inc that she was serious. 10 years ago she was making a grilled cheese sandwich. She took a bite, then noticed Mary right there in the bread staring at her! And the rest is history.
As anyone else in the same situation would do, she stopped eating and placed the sandwich in a plastic box along with some soft cotton balls and set it on her bedside table. It has never sprouted a single spore of mold.
eBay representatives state: ``After looking at it a second time, there's nothing to indicate that the seller isn't willing to give up this cheese sandwich to the highest bidder. We're going to allow it to stay up.''
At the time of this writing, the current bid is US $99,000,099.00 .
You may view the wonderment yourself by going to www.ebay.com and entering the number 5535890757 in the What Are You Looking For? slot in the Search engine.

Well This Sounds Fun
The folks of Dhami, northern India, really know how to throw a party. They have a 100 year old celebration of sorts called Sati Pradha Mela, where they divide into two groups and then pelt each other with stones.
The group that has the least number of injured people wins. Wins what? The knowledge that they done throwed more rocks more betterer.
This year, the throwfest went on for more than an hour with 'extremely enthusiastic' participants, and hundreds of people ended up being taken to the hospital for treatment of their wounds when the makeshift medical units at the event couldn't treat the bloody fools.

Fish Are People Too
Holy crap they're at it again. Not satisfied with defending the rights of naked mole rats and such, PETA has moved into the realm of Saving the Sushi. Declaring that fish are sensitive loving animals, PETA has developed a new little pocket of simps: the Fish Empathy Project.
"Fish are so misunderstood because they're so far removed from our daily lives," said Karin Robertson, 24, the Empathy Project manager and daughter of an Indiana fisheries biologist. "They're such interesting, fascinating individuals, yet they're so incredibly abused."
A recommendation from Karin and her ilk: Hey Mr Trawler, please stun the fishies before you slit them open and slice them into tiny bits. PETA is attempting to have Fish Welfare rules enforced to cut down on the horrors of fishdom. Cruelty to fishies. Bad, scary stuff.
PETA will be showing up at a seafood restaurant near you starting next month, to let you know that the fish you eat are dead and sad.
There is no word yet as to when the People for the Ethical Treatment of Plantlife will be established, but don't you worry -- I'm sure it's coming soon.
