WHAT THE FARK?

I heard about a book the other day that sounds fascinating. It's called It's Not News, It's Fark. Apparently Mr. Drew Curtis set up a website almost 10 years ago that deals with news that isn't necessarily 'normal.' The book is a compilation of strange, funny, unbelievable, etc. news that he has posted.

Well I can't find this book anywhere in the store. It says that we got it (10 copies), but no one has seen it. For those of you who have never worked with computerized inventory, this is clear proof that just because the all mighty computer says we have it, that don't mean shit til you actually have it in your hand.

I decided to actually go to the site and it does have some truly interesting news. And this is not just from obscure news sources. Often they come from reputable news agencies like CNN.com. So I thought I'd share some of the headlines and if you're interested in checking it out, click here.

• Cable repairman accused of fondling a woman for about seven minutes and then stopping without finishing. So, in other words, typical Comcast service. Chicago-Sun Times
• Dutch students have developed powdered alcohol which they say can be sold legally to minors. Yahoo News
• 11-year old boy arrested for playing with rubber band gun. WFTV.com (Curtis gives a description of each story-strange, stupid, sad, etc.-this one just says florida and that says it all!)

And finally

• Trashy mall-fight mom sent to prison for beating up girls for her daughters - for a second time. WBZtv.com (this one has pictures!)

That one brought back fond memories of when my mom and I used to go to the mall together...and beat people down?
