Weird News

People are interested in the weirdest things. To wit:

Reuters report on a camel beauty contest. Yes, indeed. In Saudi Arabia, according to the report, the islamic law makes it virtually impossible for a human beauty pageant. This beauty contest is being held by a tribe in western Saudi Arabia, the Qahtani. Go figure.

Apparently, some people - more than a million - have nothing better to do than watch cheese mature. The English Cheddar has attracted attention from 119 countries. The site, should you be interested is: Cheddar Vision. Personally, I like Brie, or Gloucester, or Red Leicester or...

Ah, finally! The Chinese are showing good sense with Women's Town. Men who disobey get punished. Though still in the planning stages, at least someone has the good sense to know the way the world should be run!

Just in case too much Simpsons is never enough, Universal Studios is planning a Theme Park Ride in honour of the yellow skinned television stars. Can't wait for that one.

Dolly Parton has refused to ride the new rollercoaster at Dollywood. She said - and I quote with a snicker: "I have too much to lose by getting on this ride," the entertainer told the opening day crowd. "My hair, my eyelashes, my fingernails, Lord knows what else will spill out." Gotta admire a woman who knows her limitations!
