Is there a perpetually full moon lately or something? Grim, funny, or horrid weirdness seems to be arriving in bulging bushel baskets the last week or so...
From Slashdot & Reuters, we find an effort by New York to outlaw the use of ipods and other gadgetry in crossing the street. NASA has a truly weird love triangle in progress, with one of their astronauts bundling up in diapers and going an a 900+ mile road trip to confront her romantic rival. An 11yo girl is raped, and her rapist is found residing in an underground bunker half a mile away. Meanwhile, a loon is lighting folks afire in downtown Seattle, only to be driven off by an 82yo w/ a mean right cane, tackled, and pummeled by bystanders.
Going 'round the country, the deluge of weird continues with a petite 29yo shaving his body and registering to go to middle school, and then there's WA Initiative 957 that I and several friends will actually be gathering signatures for under the heading "oh? That's what you want? Let me give ya a big double heaping helping!"
Finally, let's not forget the boggling case of 1st Lt. Ehren Watada and todays mistrial declaration (new trial scheduled in March), where I'm ...startled...that things got to trial before this little bobble turned up.
Is it just me, or is the weird quotient a bit high the last couple of weeks?
