It must be Monday! Thank you for the early morning laughs. The updated, deflated duck story is perhaps my favorite this week. The whole idea of a massive yellow duck is just so absurd!
An exceptionally funny collection this week, Tracy. I was hoping the link on the first story might actually have a photo of his perceived "wormhole". ;)
Hi Tracy,
I have been telling hubbie about your eclectic Monday posts and we have both been consciously scouring the more obscure news items to try and keep up with might Monday's might reveal ... But still you manage to outwit us and sneak something in that we didn't notice!!
The story about the Arts Centre just about took the biscuit! and I shall never sneak another Jaffa Cake again, without thinking of that sweet-toothed burglar!
A good belly laugh as always, thanks.
Yvonne

Hehe... I love these! This time, the only one I've heard of is the sci-fi convention one :)
Oh these are a good collection of stories. Poor ducky tho!
I guess we can't get away from our DNA.
I have the most hilarious image in my mind of the man in the high chair!
Thanks for sharing!

You crack me up Tracy and that giant rubber duck gives me the chills! For some reason that looks nightmarish.
