Top Five Odd News Items of the Week
Posted by Cynical Sarah on September 7, 2006
5. Jeweler creates diamond studded wedding cake.
A cake you can’t eat without breaking a tooth, and diamonds you can’t wear. There’s really just nothing right about this one.
4. Vendor in China denied permit to sell “World Cup Air.”
His plan was to sell bags of “World Cup Air” that people who couldn’t make it to the real event could wear around the necks while watching the games on television. His next big adventure was going to be bottled “2008 Olympic Air.” The sad part is that people would probably buy it.
3. Ohio police bust junkyard prostitute ring.
At least five prostitutes were found at the junkyard where a man and his girlfriend took calls for them and pimped them out. Kinda gives “dirty whore” a whole new meaning.
2. New York City Mayor’s car stolen.
Things just haven’t been the same since Rudolph Giuliani left the office. Crime rates are up to the point where even the mayor’s car isn’t safe. At least he wasn’t in it at the time. It was carjacked while his assistant was using it to run errands for him.
1.Elementary school bans tag during recess.
Someone had the ridiculous notion that because tag sometimes results in children falling and hurting themselves, it should be banned so the school doesn’t get sued. The ban extends to any form of unsupervised chase game including touch football. So what are kids supposed to do during recess – sit around in a pile of pillows until they have to go back to their desks?
