03/07/11 -- Wacky News
“Farting and burping cows may have been blamed for global warming, but they also provide an unmistakable countryside aroma that is now being canned and sold over the internet. Tins filled with the air sucked out of an aging wooden stable, straw lined and filled with gas producing cattle has become an instant hit after it went on sale in Germany. Managers of the “Countryside Air To Go” project say their clients are mainly country people who have moved to the city and want to be reminded of home. The cans cost 5 GBP a time and can be ordered from the web site www.stallduft.de (Barnyyard Air). “Simply put your nose to the tin and peel back the lid for the authentic smell of the country”, one advert for the service boasts. Designer Daniela Dorrer from the village of Adlkofen in Bavaria, Germany, said: “We hope to make people who miss the countryside happy and remind them of home.” w/ photo
Weightless Weightlifting?
03/07/11 -- Odd Articles
“It almost sounds like a bad joke: Did you hear the one about the weightless weightlifter? But for the crew on Nasa’s final mission on its Discovery spaceship, it was just another day at the office for Shuttle commander Steve Lindsey. In these latest pictures taken from the International Space Station, he gets in his daily workout where he might be claiming he can lift much more than he could on earth. His crew may also want to improve their personal bests, but looks can be deceiving and the squat machine Lindsey is using is actually a specially made piece of gym kit, designed only to work in zero gravity. He wants to keep in shape after months of preparations, involving an intense exercise programme with daily workouts. All astronauts must go through the hardcore workouts, so they are in top physical condition for the demanding missions. Elsewhere on the spacecraft, crew can catch up on their favourite websites and speak to loved ones on a laptop – solidly attached to the walls to prevent it floating away.” w/ photos
Man Steals Bras For His Girlfriend
03/07/11 -- Wacky News
“A man told an Ocala police officer he wanted to do something nice for his girlfriend, who will be released from jail later this month, so he stole two brassieres from Walmart. Johnnie L. Brown, 29, was arrested shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday and charged with retail petit theft. “She has done so much for me,” Brown said later of the woman who has been his girlfriend for three years, “and I felt I had to support her.” On Tuesday, a Walmart loss prevention employee noticed a suspicious person in a motorized wheelchair in the infant section, according to a police report. He saw Brown — who said later that one of his feet has been amputated — enter the women’s section and pick up two brassieres. He then went to another section, where police say he stuffed the items into his pants. The bras were valued at $7 and $13. One was red and the other zebra-striped. Brown went to the self checkout area and paid for some items, but not the brassieres, and then left the store. He was detained by store officials, who called police.” w/ photo
