Yes folks, the news was really strange this week. I used less than half the links I had collected this time. At this rate, I may have to do Strange News twice a week!

Here goes (for installment one at least):

700 arerested, 100 injured, 11 dead at Pakistan kite-flying festival. This is not a joke.

Al Gore: “I invented Global Warming.”  OK, I made that up, but the story is real. Seems my fellow Tennessean is become a bit overexposed in the press.

Over half of Americans don’t like their jobs. Shocking, really. I never would have guessed…

Massachusetts Police give Bobby Brown something to do with all his spare time. Use your time well, Bobby…

Indonesians try to plug volcano with giant balls of concrete. ? ! Once again, I feel compelled to point out that this is not a joke…

Bush urges Governors to agree with him- Or Else! He’s the “decider”, y’know.

WikiPedia gets tough on “notability guidelines. I guess my bio will be the next to get the axe…

Did Brit shave her head to avoid a drug test? Only her hairdresser knows for sure…

James Cameron, the widely respected archaeologist… ba-ha-ha-ha…. Jesus loves him anyway!

Shocking Allegation: US restaurants promote unhealthy eating. Please don’t tell these guys!

Al Sharpton and Strom Thurmond: Cousins??? Could be.

Finally, The Oscars got it wrong?  You don’t say…

    It’s sad that people think they can play with guns or deadly kites for that matter and not get hurt one way or another! Considering the ammunition I’m not surprised on the outcome…

    The “strange” news in Australia is that Pamela Anderson has discovered that Ugg boots are made of sheep skin/wool. She’s been promoting them for 10 years and only just figured it out. http://www.exposay.com/pamela-anderson-tosses-away-ugg-boots/v/8824/
    Well, we think it’s strange anyway.
    The world is full of strange news but I bet some of the people starring in the strange news didn’t think themselves so strange at the time.

    Dear Art! What happened?..You say it is something called Tamiflu. Is that some kind of a birdflu???& Stace has it too??? My God! You have to be careful. I hope you guys are taking proper medicine & rest. Just take good rest… do not overtire yourselves.
    I hope & pray that you get well soon.

    Thanks everyone, I got a kick out of these – glad you liked them too.

    BTW, the Tamiflu IS the medicine. It’s all gone now and so is the Flu!
