Wonders Never Cease

, , ,

I couldn't let a weekend go by without sharing some of the nuttier news. It just wouldn't be right to keep it all to myself.

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile got itself into quite a pickle when it crashed into a Racine home Friday morning. Neighbors tell FOX 6 the Wienermobile took a wrong turn and ended up on the dead-end street, Kenilworth Avenue in Racine.

While trying to get turned around, the woman driving the hot dog on wheels accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and lodged the Wienermobile under a house. Officials say no one was injured in the crash.

Women should leave weenie driving to men.

It’s not too unusual to hear stories of married couples who met online.

But it IS unusual when that couple that meets online and marries also has the same name.

In this case, it’s a guy from Texas named Kelly Hildebrandt and a gal from Florida named Kelly Hildebrandt.

In three months, they’re getting married.


and my absolute favourite of the day ...
One second a Staten Island teenager was walking down the street, the next second she was gone. Alexa Longueira was walking down Victory Boulevard and getting ready to text-message when she fell into an open sewer manhole. Now the city is trying to figure out why the manhole was left open and unblocked. Alexa suffered some cuts and scrapes but is otherwise OK. He mother says workers told her they left the manhole open and unattended for just seconds while they went to fetch some cones from their truck.

I wonder if she can walk and chew gum at the same time?

oy! I hope men do the parking too! :D
parking wasn't our favorite either!

"......... also has the same name"

I had an outside Travel agent from Holland working for me,
her last name was DeVries,
her husband past away and she joint a singles club in Long Island, before she knew ,
she met Leon DeVries and they got married,
she never had to change her drivers license,
her stationary, her .....

I thought that was unique, but this one is even more unusual!

They put college kids behind the wheel of the Wiener Mobile. It's part of a business internship, I think. In any event, kids from IU drove one of them around every year. I suspect she was just too young to really know how to handle the wiener. I'm sure that, with time, she'll learn to ride it like a pro.

That marriage bit is very cool. I wonder what the odds are?

People who text and suffer get what they deserve. I'm glad she wasn't hurt, but let's face it - she's lucky she wasn't struck by a car, or didn't walk into the side of a building.

lol In a lot of cities, people are stealing manhole covers to sell for salvage. Tough economic times...
