The Divination Arts, Dento-Mammary Science
and the Afternoon Edition of Chuck's News of the Weird Daily for Tuesday
For some, apparently, the bleaker the economic forecast, the more willing they are to spend money for advice from online psychic—uh, make that online "practitioners of the divination arts." Wired.com
Washington state apparently does things differently, as you can see from this news story about a "dentist and oral surgeon" who was allowed to do breast reductions. (They caught him, but the punishment for sloppiness was a fine and some "extra training.") Seattle Post-Intelligencer
A city councilman in Jersey City, N.J., was arrested for peeing on people at a night club . . the aristocrat! New York Daily News
Ordinary ol' Larry Plooster got arrested earlier this yr in Fort Lupton, Colo., for chopping down what a professional arborist said were "weeds" (but which police said were valuable plants on a city golf course abutting his home), and four months and three court appearances later (and counting), the police are still committed. KCNC-TV (Denver)
An LSU football fan telephoned a neighbor who is an Alabama football fan after Alabama's win Saturday night, and since college football fans in the South are not known for their civility (but are known for being armed), one thing led to another, and the LSU booster and his wife are no longer with us, and the Alabama guy is in jail. Press-Register (Mobile)
Mr. Song Kim can cross "kill high school teacher who falsely accused me" off of his to-do list, where it's apparently been for the last 21 yrs. Korea Times
Professor Music's Weird Link o' the Day
For those who didn't quite get enough of yesterday's shoe collection (which, if you missed, go here and here), we have a couple more that "Barbara" didn't catch, from Japan.
Today's Newsrangers: Stephen Taylor, Perry Levin, Michael Foran, and lots of Holy Sepulchrer-noticers
