Sizzling second annual Bacon Show
By VINNEE TONG
“ALBANY, N.Y. – The first thing that hit visitors was the smell — that sizzling, hickory, greasy smell that seeps into your clothes and hangs in your hair. The pungent aroma announced to passers-by that the second annual Bacon Show was on. And if the smell didn’t bring people in, maybe the man dressed in a bright pink pig costume would.”
“Brandon Shimoda, an artists and organizer, simply wanted people to come in and share his love of bacon. He and fellow artists displayed photos, paintings and exhibits glorifying the breakfast meat at his apartment Saturday evening. About 20 people showed up.”
No Laughing Matter
I guess he died happy.
Thai Man Dies While Laughing in Sleep
“BANGKOK, Thailand – An ice-cream truck driver in Thailand died while laughing in his sleep, a newspaper reported Thursday. Damnoen Saen-um, 52, laughed for about two minutes on Wednesday and then stopped breathing, The Nation said, quoting officials. The newspaper said Damnoen’s wife tried to wake him up but he kept laughing. An autopsy suggested that he might have had a heart attack, The Nation quoted a doctor as saying. ‘I have never seen a case like this. But it is possible that a person could have heart seizure while laughing or crying too hard in their sleep,’ said Dr. Somchai Chakrabhand, deputy director-general of the Mental Health Department, according to The Nation. The incident occurred in Phrae province, 300 miles north of Bangkok.”
What’s That? I Said “Darwin Award”!
Say What? Man with Ear Ache Gets Vasectomy
"RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) – A Brazilian (news – web sites) man who went to a clinic to have an aching ear checked ended up having a vasectomy after mistakenly believing that the doctor had called his name."
I felt bad for this guy (since his bad hearing caused him to incorrectly hear the name called), but then he just let the wrong medical procedure happen. Thanks for stopping your breeding.

"A cargo ship ran aground after its chief officer caught his trousers on a lever, fell down and was knocked unconscious, according to a Marine Accident Investigation Branch report. The officer of the watch did not regain consciousness until the 1,840-ton Mulheim was nearing the shore on the Cornish coast. Because of the fall the officer – who was on watch alone at the time – could not alter course until it was too late, the report states. The ship’s safety watch alarm was switched off and the rest of its crew was asleep. The vessel’s six-strong Polish crew were airlifted to safety after it became skewered on rocks near Sennen, west Cornwall, in March this year."
"A combination of summer heat and a rigid dress code has led a Swedish bus driver to wear a skirt to work. Mats Lundgren, from the northern Swedish town of Umea, got fed up of sitting in the drivers’ seat for hours at a time in dark uniform trousers. He asked his boss whether he could wear shorts for comfort as temperatures hit 25C (77F). But when his boss said ‘no’, Mr Lundgren decided to find an alternative. And he began showing up to work in a skirt."
