Re:
It could be, lustor, it could be. Although, to be honest, anyone 'engaging' with marijuana probably wouldn't notice that skunk odor anyway . . .

Re: jimmy
You're absolutely right, jean, and that's what makes it all the more bizarre, at least to me. To think that, for over 50 years, there's been that many 'unclaimed' bodies being shipped off to medical schools and mortuary training facilities! It's a shame, really . . .

Re: Jimmy
I guess it's true, Naut, with Sir Wiley making the same observation. I must admit I hadn't heard about that, but in many ways, it does seem to make sense, since production costs now outweigh the actually value of the penny itself! But no matter how 'cheap' a penny may become, I would still never consider swallowing one, for any reason . . .

Re:
Thanks, chuck. All I can do is take these bizarre news accounts and try to make some light of them! I'm desperately trying to think that our society is still worth saving, but people like these make it difficult at times. I hope you have a nice weekend too . . .

Re: JimmyA
Is that so, Sir Wiley? I know here in the states they've been seriously talking about phasing out our pennies as well, simply because they now cost more to manufacture than they're worth! But, if either the Americans or the Canadians need to secretly smuggle any pennies across the border, we'll know who to call . . .

Re:
You could be right, Krisles, on both counts! Although, to be fair, that woman wasn't exactly 'shopping' at the Dunkin' Donuts, and that nut frying bacon with his rifle probably wasn't even giving the terrorists a second thought! I wonder how he would do with ham . . . ?

Re:
Really, Kabu? That's funny! My wife actually likes garlic, and sometimes when we go out to dinner, she orders something that contains it, and then apologizes all night for having that very same garlic breath! It's not that bad to me, but it sure is better than skunk odor I would think . . .

Re:
I'll have to agree, Annicita! Although, I must admit, I made that particular assessment a long time ago . . .

Re:
Well, FSI, we usually assume that certain players relocate because of money. But sometimes, there are other circumstances involved, and when you hear of them, you understand completely . . .

Re:
A rather strange one, eh, adnohr? I'm still trying to figure out how he was able to strap over a hundred cell phones to his body in the first place! Did he really think he would have gotten away with that . . . ?

this was some collection of stories. i would imagine there are lots of people that have no family or that are not in contact with family members. more people than you can imagine die alone and unclaimed. i guess its better than having grave robbers to supply bodies to med schools etc.

Another great collection, LOL! And that guy who swallowed the penny probably thought he would try it, and if it worked he could sell all the others he's got in his piggy bank for lots of money - 'cause Canadian pennies are being withdrawn from circulation, really...

The guy in Canada that swallowed the penny just thought it wasn't costing him a cent because pennies have been phased out here. LOL

Good ones! I wonder if the guy frying the bacon with the gun was trying to send some ha-ha crazy message to terrorists since they're so adverse to pigs? And maybe the gal at Dunkin' Donuts was confused and was supposed to show up at WalMart for a shot at being in one of those emails we regularly get forwarded of crazy shoppers....

I am one for your stories myself. I rather like skunk odour. Sort of like garlic breath and I don't mind that either.

The troupe dancer must have misread the menu that listed new croissant donut as nude chest dare it Jimmy. At least the donut smell there's better than skunk stink.
