Ha! If sheep are anything like goats, I could have told them they would eat far more than just the cemetery grass.
The chocolate Santa made me smile, too.
I had the same thought as Kelly when I read the first headline. LOL
I really don't understand people's thinking sometimes (referring to the university student).
I remember reading the article about the thank you letter to the burglars before. That was too funny. Still scary, but funny.
Poor, poor Ming the Clam.
Hi Tracy,
I set out to comment here about 30 minutes ago, but I have been sidetracked time and again, not just by the great articles you have featured, but by all other similarly hilarious stories in the news sheets you link to.
I can't pick a favourite story, but I do have to say that the 'twosie' has to be the most stupid idea I have ever come across ... although I probably know someone who would love it !!
Thanks for sharing some excellent links this week,
Yvonne
Your blog is so cute! I loved it!
Congradulations!
Um. Totally don't get why someone would staple testicles. Just sound like bad idea
Interesting set of articles Tracy. Ewww about that false widow spider. And why on earth would they kill that poor old clam just to verify its age! lol That thing was ancient.
Tracy, these stories are terribly funny! The "overworked" robot story is too much, and the "naughty" Santa display is utterly hilarious! There is much more that I could comment on.... Thank you for presenting all of this humorous news! :D
The spider thing made me shudder, but that robot suicide was funny. I have always maintained that housework would be the death of me. LOL
Okay...I gotta say the sheep one though, it started as a good idea! ^_^
oh god, i'm terrified of spiders! I would be freaked out for sure!
and that poor clam! killing in the name of science, I suppose.
It is true that more often it gets difficult to choose fro your collection of stories.However the stapling of the testicles is an awful act indeed. The suicide of the robot can be a matter for philosophical discussion.
I am not buying the suicide story for that robot. I suspect foul play.
haha..
oh, tracy, these stories are incredibly funny with my favourite being the robot suicide!
xx
