All in Fun

Discovered a fun web site- Groxx.

Groxx is a service of This is True, Randy Cassingham's weird news publication that's been online since 1994. Ever since its start, Randy has allowed readers to send him leads on great articles, especially encouraging stories from small town papers that maybe haven't hit the national wire services like AP and Reuters.

Want to find something wierd and offbeat, this is the place to go.

For example, earlier this week here were several headlines you could have found there:

• Plumber Sues Millionaire Over Stolen Wife. Wins!
• Flaming kamikaze squirrel torches car
• Alabama man stabbed outside Mullet Festival
• German Playboy, 77, Sues for Sex

You even get to vote on them. And yes, that said "Mullet" festival.

Then there was this earlier in the week:

Iowa man is shot by hunting dog
Associated Press TAMA, IOWA - A man was injured when hunting dogs stepped on his gun. Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources say the 37-year-old man was pheasant hunting with a group ... when the accident happened. Officials say the group had shot a bird and when the hunter went to retrieve it, he put his gun on the ground and crossed a fence. As he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on his gun causing it to fire.

Actually, if the man had bit the dog, then it would have been news.
