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?

Friday, is there a better day of the week?

Okay - Saturday is pretty good too but Friday is my day to find and share wacky news; and find it I have.

I just read a little article about an air mattress; nothing too spectacular until you discover that he tried to blow it up and ended up blowing up his apartment instead.

Man tries to fix airbed, blows up apartment.
A man who tried to fix his leaky air mattress blew up his apartment instead, the fire brigade in the western city of Duesseldorf said Wednesday.

The 45-year-old man used tire repair solvent to plug a hole in his airbed and left it overnight.

But it blew up when he went to inflate it the next day. "A spark from the electric air pump ignited it," a fire brigade spokesman said.

The blast pushed his living room wall into the building's stairwell and caused extensive damage to walls, windows and furniture.

Fire fighters evacuated the 12-apartment building and a neighboring housing block while they checked for structural damage.

Dumb Stunt
German police had to rescue a 20-year-old man from a train station suitcase locker after he shut himself in for fun and began to suffocate. After a night out drinking with friends, squeezing into the locker had seemed like an amusing idea to the man, police in the southwestern city of Ludwigshafen said Friday.

The laughter faded when he started to run out of oxygen and his companions couldn't open the locker. Police broke open the door and dragged the groggy man to safety.

And Finally
For Dr Seuss fans everywhere.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

Summer officially arrived at 6:45 am this morning, at least for us in the Northern hemisphere it is summer. Listening to the radio I was hearing a news report from Sydney where winter arrived and the temperature was in her words "cold - it's freezing out" its 15 degrees! For us here in Ottawa, 15 degrees is not exactly cold.

It definitely all depends on what you're used to.

If you've ever read this blog, you know I'm a fan of whacky. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it is off the beaten path - and it has to make me laugh. This is no exception.

Gas B Gon who's slogan is "Clear the Air - Not the Room" is attempting to be a serious business, but ...farts are funny!

You no longer have to be embarrassed by the untimely passing of intestinal gas among your friends or family.
