Thought I’d dump a bunch of links here I found funny or otherwise worth sharing. People who follow me on twitter will probably have seen most of those already.

Airline pickpocket strikes as passengers sleep – My mental picture was a pickpocket declaring he was on strike because his job was too easy this way.

Swandog in reply to a poll, about the roads in winter in Norway: “the main danger is running into moose licking salt off the road”.

A German student “mooned” a group of Hell’s Angels and hurled a puppy at them before escaping on a stolen bulldozer

Broccoli looks like fireworks if you take an MRI-picture. (From a blog dedicated to MRI-pics of food. Note that their main page (not the individual post linked to) can take a while to load, since it has a lot of those animated images.)

Recently there was an exhibition of various Elvis memorabilia at the shopping centre in Koblenz, so I got to see his last car, among other things. As far as memorabilia go, tools used in Elvis’ autopsy are pretty weird, though.

The badge on his sleeve shows the parka belonged to a police uniform of Rhineland-Palatinate, the German “state” I live in. I wonder why and/or how that happened.

Some things police deal with are… somewhat weird (old stuff I saved on my delicious account):

• Naked swimmer evades police in Tokyo
• Drunk badger disrupts traffic
• Drunken tractor driver leads police on slow chase
• Bride spends first night with crate of vodka
• Speeding player thought police were fans chasing him
• Handcuffs, Taser used to catch emu
• Crocodile thrown in jail cell for loitering
• German police investigate kebab sauce after attack

I thought some people might find this amusing. It’s a photo of a section of a road map at a bus stop in Neuwied.

Block is a village between Neuwied and Engers, the next town upriver on the Rhine. I have no idea why the street is named “Im Tardis”. (“Im” means “in the”, in the masculine or neuter form. However, the TARDIS is grammatically female in the German version, which would require “in der Tardis”.)
