300th Post!!!
Yes, this is post 300. To celebrate, I have put together a conglomeration of crazy news articles (plus my commentary) for your entertainment. Enjoy. :)Panda cub born at Washington's National Zoo
My favorite quote from the article, just because it is one of the most ridiculous similes I have ever heard (emphasis mine):
A panda cub the size of a stick of butter was born early Saturday at the National Zoo
While there are no photos yet, below is a photo of twin panda newborns from a zoo in China, just because they're as cute as a stick of butter!
Chicago Officials Turn Off 'Jesus' Light
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. - City officials have turned off a streetlight that drew more than 250 people to see a shadow that some say resembles the image of Jesus Christ.
East Chicago Police Chief Angelo Machuca called an emergency meeting Sunday to recommend the light be turned off in the interest of public safety after nearby residents complained about blocked cars and visitors congregating until 5 a.m.
This image of Jesus should not be confused with a sighting in Chicago earlier this year of The Virgin Mary (pictured below) on an underpass of the Kennedy Expressway. This one was not a shadow, but a water stain. Yes, The Virgin is appearing to us in the sludgy highway runoff!!! *shudder*
In a related story, hundreds of sheep follow their leader off a cliff and plunge to their deaths.
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Hundreds of sheep followed their leader off a cliff in eastern Turkey, plunging to their deaths this week while shepherds looked on in dismay.
Four hundred sheep fell 15 yards to their deaths in a ravine in Van province near Iran but broke the fall of another 1,100 animals who survived, newspaper reports said Friday.
Elderly Woman Hoards more than 300 Cats. And the worst part:
About 300 cats, nearly a third of them dead, were removed from an elderly woman's Virginia home after neighbors complained of a stench coming from the house, police said on Tuesday
Seriously, this story makes me want to punch this woman in the kidneys.
And on that note, I must get back to work. :)

I am the meaning in your life? (and for those who actually caught the Chicago (the band, not the city) reference there, you should be feeling JUST AS MUCH SHAME as I am right now!).
:) Thanks.
Wow, I almost asked if you saw that I had "plugged you", and then realized that I didn't mean that at all!
oh dear....
