And then you put it back in your pocket with the other change? Me thinks it is not going to be the only thing that is going to be irradiated.

 

Well, its half-life was only 22 seconds but almost every kid who ever went there came home with one. I should have a couple of them around here somewhere. Over the time they did it, there had to be many tens of thousands of them going home.

 

Overdue book returned anonymously to Idaho library 111 years later

​

A children's book checked out from the Boise, Idaho, public library in 1910 vanished for 111 years only to be returned anonymously, library officials said.

 

Let's see, 10¢ a day for 111 years... only $4,000!

Doesn’t it say two cents?

 

You have sharp eyes. I calculated it based on what the Sunnyvale Public Library charged me back in the 1960's, and you are right - at 2¢ a day.

I thought I was missing something but quite a bargain compared to Sunnyvale—at least without calculating the present value fo the dollar at the time.

 

$810.30?

The Australian Scientist Who Tested Whether Farts Spread Disease


​

"She wanted to know whether she was contaminating the operating theatre she worked in by quietly farting in the sterile environment during operations, and I realised that I didn't know," Dr Karl Kruszelnicki told listeners to his science phone-in radio show in Brisbane. "But I was determined to find out.”

 

Perfect candidate for an IgNobel Award!

And guess what, he did win an IgNobel Award in 2002, but not for this.

 

So if farts smell, are they contagious?

Inquiring minds want to know.

What started as an attempt to get rid of pesky creatures ended with an entire house going up in flames.
A house of nearly 10,000 square feet in Dickerson, Maryland, an hour west of Baltimore, was engulfed in flames on November 23 when the homeowner tried to smoke out a snake infestation on the property, Pete Piringer, chief spokesperson for the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service, told CNN.

 

Weird is a very small word to apply to this sort of stuff:

Woman reportedly breastfed cat on Delta Airlines flight


​

"This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby…her shirt was up and she was trying to get the cat to latch and she wouldn't put the cat back in the carrier."

The flight attendant added that "the cat was screaming for its life."

 

Which is why I am still amazed that this thread is still thriving. Kind of like human stupidity there's enough keep it running for decades.

GLOUCESTER, England. (WTVO) — A bomb disposal team was called to an English hospital Wednesday morning after a man arrived with an unexploded WWII mortar stuck in his rectum.

According to The Sun, the patient was a military enthusiast and had the round as part of a private collection.

“He said he put it on the floor then he slipped and fell on it,” a source at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital told the newspaper.

 

And that was just too funny. Another take on a stick up your *ss. Doctor's advice, Don't cough.

I know I could resist, I just choose not to.

 

I've heard plenty of stories from a nurse friend about strange objects somehow finding way into a male's rectum and unable to find their way back out. Jars of French's mustard seems to be a common one, but this takes it to a whole new level or absurdity!
