10 ways Dick Cheney can kill you
Okay, in light of all the Dick Cheney hijinks, I saw this on Boing Boing the other day and I finally succumbed. What can I say? This makes me want to laugh out loud every time I see it:
For the record, my favorites are “Telekinesis,” “Raining blows down upon you,” and “With his bare hands.”

Strangely enough, it’s a real book…
It’s amazing what they’re publishing in For Dummies books these days… I almost wish I had made this up:
This just makes me laugh. The fact that it’s for real just makes this that much more irrationally funny to me…

First a mouse, now a puppy…
So first a mouse set a man’s house on fire, now a puppy has done the same thing here in Bend:
A frisky puppy left in a laundry room apparently sparked a northeast Bend house fire that almost claimed his life. Investigators said Friday the dog caused an aerosol can to discharge vapors that a water heater pilot light ignited, setting the room ablaze.
It’s like When Animals Attack, but weirder. Awesome.
As an aside, I really like the new NewsChannel 21 site. Barney done good!

Mouse fire!
Okay, this is kind of an awful story…
No, scratch that. It’s a story that seems like it should be awful, but I just can’t take it seriously. It just makes me laugh. I can’t help it: Mouse takes down house.
On Saturday, a Fort Sumner man’s home fell victim to a mouse fire.
Homeowner Luciano Mares said he caught a mouse inside his residence and discarded the creature in a pile of garden refuse he was burning on his property near the home.
“I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house,” he said.
The. Mouse. Was. On. Fire.
Update: Snopes debunks it. It almost happened, but the mouse was already dead.
Update #2: According to CNN, the story may be true after all:
Is that plausible? Fort Sumner Fire Chief Juan Chavez said Tuesday he thinks so.
“There’s no reason for him to lie about what he told us,” Chavez said. “I don’t doubt it at all.”
There’s hope!

Unfortunate ad placement on Bend.com…
Is it just me, or does this particular ad placement on the Bend.com article pictured below seem really… I don’t know, juvenile? Not to mention, wrong.

The safest car
You know those car commercials where the car is driving through the mountains or somesuch, and to show off its safety features, the commercial usually shows the car swerve gracefully around a fallen tree, or a boulder, or something? You know, to show how the tight steering and antilock brakes and everything make it the Safest Car Ever.
Well, I’m thinking instead of a car swerving around a fallen tree, I’d much rather see the car swerving around a chainsaw-wielding maniac running out of the forest… I figure if the car can help you avoid that, then it really is the Safest Car Ever.
