U-S Airways wants to make the most out of a nauseating situation. The Tempe, Arizona-based airline plans to sell advertisements on its air-sickness bags! Spokesman Phil Gee says, "They're in every back seat pocket. We figure while it's there, why don't we make it multipurpose?" Passengers should see the new, commercialized sickness bags in September. Michael Boyd, president of an aviation consulting group, endorses the idea, saying, "Barf bags have a lot of shelf life -- people aren't barfing as much in planes as they used to."
A thief in Greencastle, Indiana has police and business owners baffled after dozens of Rs were stolen from signs around the community. "We've lost our Rs. And we want them back," said Randall Jones, president of Headley Hardware. The weekend caper targeted gas stations, restaurants, repair shops and medical offices in the city of 10-thousand people. The thief also nabbed half a dozen letters from a lighted marquee in front of a National Guard post. Putnam Inn manager Jane Hansen isn't sure how the thief climbed more than six-feet off the ground to take Rs from a sign in front of her motel. Greencastle Police said they've been notified about the stolen letters, but many business owners are choosing not to file reports.
Houdini the snake bit off more than he could chew. On Tuesday afternoon, the 12-foot-long Burmese python underwent surgery to remove what he'd eaten Sunday night -- an electric blanket. Houdini was resting comfortably after undergoing two hours of surgery at a pet clinic in Ketchum, Idaho. The electric blanket -- six-feet long and wide enough to fit a queen-sized bed -- was kept in Houdini's cage to help keep him warm. On Monday morning, his owner noticed the blanket was missing and that Houdini didn't seem to be feeling well. He speculates that the blanket became entangled with Houdini's Sunday-night rabbit dinner. Once he'd ingested the rabbit, Houdini apparently just kept swallowing until he'd eaten the whole blanket, including the control box and electrical plug.
