OK, just saw on my web page "Python Inadvertantly Swallows Queen Sized Electric Blanket". How does anything "inadvertantly" swallow anything that size???

A girl I work with just got a puppy (a Goldendoodle, which is a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix, for those of you who may not know what that is), and it's already had to have surgery because it ate her boyfriend's 'do rag (sp?). The whole thing. Without chewing it up.

Did you see the story a few months ago where the snake exploded because it tried to eat an entire alligator? I saw the picture...it was disgusting!

Nanwa - I just read that myself. I usually get the news from Yahoo and they have an "Odd News" section that usually has some pretty interesting stories. Like I remember a few weeks ago some guy needed a lightbulb removed because he (or someone else in the prison) stuck it where it didnt belong...

I saw the snake article. The owner left the electric blanket in the snake's cage to keep it warm, and apparently it got wrapped up with his dinner.

This isn't a headline, but a wedding announcement-I forget the brides name, but the grooms name is Tinker E. Toy. No joke. I told my wife we should send it into Jay Leno.

Not a headline either, but years ago I was looking at my dad's bottle of Beano, just reading the label.

"Cures but gas"!!!! yes but was spelled incorrectly, but still funny!!!

In Northern Michigan there are actually signs on the roads that say "Do not pass when opposing traffic is present" - NO $hit?!?!?!

Plug that blanket in for 10 minutes per pound and you've got yourself some good eats...

Gee, this post could share space with the RIP of Common Sense thread, couldn't it? "Don't pass when opposing traffic is present?"

They should have left it off someone that stupid, to make sure he doesn't breed.
