Just a place for news that is weird, wonderful, and wacky, from around the world! *Heroic Pose*

Starting off with .

The Auld Grump, mind you, Maine once had a problem involving brain theft at the morgues....

Don't forget the dreaded Maple Syrup thieves...

Yup $20 million in syrup.

No no... They didn't steal a tanker, they siphoned it off....

things like this are awesome story hooks...

Just got a very strange phone call from a telephone marketer - and spent 20 minutes talking with him about roleplaying games. He sent me to looking up the Lorien Trust.

I really wish that I had the money to take what he was selling - he was from Serif with an upgrade to a software package that I use on a very regular basis. Good software, good price, but I'm skint. Plus, he came across as a very personable and likeable fellow.

Of the desktop publishers that I have tried I use Serif's Page Plus more than any other. Been using it in six editions for ten years now.

Yep - the weirdness is that I am saying something nice about a telemarketer.... I really wish him luck.
