Dog Rescued After Being Stuck Between 2 Walls
01/18/11 -- Wacky News
“If Wally knew how to talk, the dog would probably admit to being embarrassed about how he got his name. The 4-year-old Shar-Pei mixed breed was rescued Friday after he got stuck between two walls in the 33-200 block of Rancho Vista Drive in Cathedral City. He’s now resting at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms, but how he got stuck and for how long remains a mystery. It’s likely Wally got stuck chasing a smaller animal that ran through the space, Riverside County Department of Animal Services spokesman John Welsh said Friday. “Wally could’ve been in there for several hours, without a doubt,” he said. Animal control officers received a call around 10 a.m. regarding a barking dog. Upon arrival, they found Wally stuck in a crawl space separating a home and a wall that belongs to the Coachella Valley Water District. “It’s not every day someone calls the water district to rescue a dog,” district spokeswoman Heather Engel said. District workers spent about 40 minutes pounding a hole into the wall and freed a weak and dehydrated Wally by 1:30 p.m., Welsh said. A district employee fed the friendly dog a bean and cheese burrito. No one knew if Wally had an owner.” w/ photos + video

NASA’s Beef Pot Roast
01/18/11 -- Neat Products
“Amazingly unappetizing but wholly unique freeze-dried ‘moon food.’ This particular example, labeled ‘Beef Pot Roast,’ measures 2 x 3.5 x .75 and rests within a 5 x 6.5 sealed pouch to which a nozzle is attached. The label also bears the simple heating instructions: “3 oz. hot water. 5-10 minutes.” All of the food was prepared by adding hot or cold water through the nozzle. The food was then squeezed into the mouth through a flat tube stored in the package. Food created for the Apollo missions was preserved through freeze-drying and vacuum-sealing, resulting in a product that kept their nutritional and ‘taste’ qualities.” w/ photos
