Mapquest: "Extraterrestrial Route, PR"

So the folks in Puerto Rico really like their extraterrestrials, and want them to feel at home. What better way than to dedicate a landing slip to the flyboys?

Seems a local elementary school teacher has been communicating regularly with the space folk, and they want to come down and set a spell. He has received approval from the mayor to install the landing strip in anticipation of their visit. The landing strip will be 80-feet long and have pyramids as control towers because aliens like pyramids. Says Reynaldo Rios, the teacher, "I can't say exactly when they will come, but I know it will happen. I want to keep believing in my dreams."

But But But But WHY?????????

71 year old Wang Xiaobei has pulled a car with her teeth 65feet. Yay.
She attached a rope to the car, wrapped the other end with a handkerchief, and clamped down.
She has apparently been practicing feats of strength with her teeth for about 1/2 her life.

Well then.
Isn't that something?

From Incumbent Chief Mid Atlantic Correspondent Lord Mutter:

"When a hockey coach argues with a referee, should he: A) Accept that the referee is always right? B) Yell at the referee and question his parentage? C) Undo pants and expose himself?"

The 42 year old assistant coach of the Airdrie bantam A Lightning team didn't quite like the ruling passed down by a referee during a game played by 13 and 14 year old boys. Wanting to show good sportsmanship and set a good example for the kids, dude challenged the ref. Things got heated and testy, so coach did what any sane individual would do: he dropped trou to show his true thoughts.

Charges of 'committing an indecent act' have been pressed against the coach, and he has been relieved of duty for the time being.

A parent at the game sums it up quite nicely, I think: "When you've got 14-year-olds out there ... coaches are supposed to be role models, not jackasses."

Exactly.

Ousted Yet Determined To Regain His Title of Chief Mid Atlantic Correspondent, Broadway Glenn provides this tidbit:

"Holy sushi! If you believe they put a man on the moon and did not film it in a sound stage in Texas, then you might believe this too.

This Japanese scientist has caught on tape a giant squid in action. It's at 1800 feet down. Darn that's deep. They don't believe that they come to the surface and attack ships, but hey, stranger things have happened.

Godzilla was nowhere to be found that day."

Yep, a Japanese scientist, Tsunemi Kubodera has actually caught images of a living giant squid on film. Following sperm whales deep deep deep into the ocean, Tsunemi came upon a 25 foot squid swimming about in all its glory.

He has determined that they are much more active under water than they are when they have been washed up on the shore.

He also determined that they use their tentacles to capture their prey.

Who would've thought?
