Minneapolis suburb. A crappy one.

Yeah, that is why I included the location, I figured it would help explain why I was hearing this, at least to the Twin City locals. Fridley is a hell hole.

Environmental story where the Big Chemical Plant is the... hero?

Not sure I can find the link; I read a story in print about how oil well derricks are providing better habitats for marine life than artificial reefs.

ah, here it is.

A new study led by researchers at Occidental College and the University of California at Santa Barbara has found that the oil platforms dotting the California coast are fantastic for sea life.

In a 15-year study, researchers found that the ecosystems that build up around artificial rigs host 1,000 percent more fish and other sea life than natural habitats such as reefs and estuaries.

The California rigs outstripped even famously rich ecosystems such as the coral reefs of French Polynesia.

though maybe this story properly belongs in a different thread....

Re: What the Fark???

I think I need to share 2 things I've overheard during my lunch at 2 different local restaurants the last 2 days:

Yesterday, I went to a local Fridley (<-First problem) sports bar to get a burger. I was craving a burger, and this place delivered on a tasty burger. Anyway, I was sitting there, by myself, messing around on my phone, waiting for my burger, and I overhear a conversation:

Old Guy: Does so and so have a baby yet?
Younger Guy (appeared to be old guy's son): No....why would you think they'd have a baby?
Old Guy: Well, they're not siblings, so I figure there's no reason to not make a baby.

Well, with logic like that....


Then, today, at a different restaurant I hear a guy say this to the people he was eating with:

Weird guy with pony tail: I just want to forget about my dead wife. The last time I saw her was when I embalmed her. Yeah, I used to own my own mortuary service, so I figured I'd do it myself. I don't remember much of it, I was pretty drunk when I did it.

I tried my best to come up with some sort of reply to either of those, but I got nothin'. Wow.

I've seen about a dozen of these. They always end in "... could be practicing law."

Hate to be That Guy, but these are classic urban legends.

Re: What the Fark???

I saw a link to this on CNN. I gotta admit, I'm a sucker for these things. I could probably spend the next two days reading this and getting a chuckle, which unfortunately, is a little sad.

Even worse, I saw a print version of the same kind of document focused solely on the CDC and some of the "studies" they are conducting.

Call me crazy, but I think water helped get them in this mess to begin with.

Yeah, but that was warm ocean water. You throw some cold water on them, and well, we all know what happens ...... Its like a frighten turtle.
