Canadian police threaten drunk drivers

The Canadian Police threatened the usual consequences for being caught driving drunk, fines, jail time, and loss of driving privileges.  But they went one step further to scare drunk people from getting behind the wheel.  On the way to jail, the driver will be forced to listen to Nickelback in the squad car.  I wonder if it will work.  punishment?

unlikely pair

A British Columbia, Ontario resident filmed his brother's cat being licked by a deer.  Apparently the cat is very friendly with the local wild deer and this one must've thought the cat tasted good. See the video

 

pizza delivery

A pizza chain is facing some tough deliveries in Japan with a difficult winter on it's way.  So they have decided to test deliveries by reindeer.  The animals would have a hot box strapped to their back and would make the journey alone.  A lot of details have to be dealt with before it happens but the pizza chain is hopeful.  I can see a lot of problems with this plan...the reindeer runs off...the box falls off it's back...someone steals the box en route...other animals smell the food and try to get it...the reindeer gets lost...the list goes on.  I think I'd prefer the delivery driver.  reindeer

gingerbread house

A chef in Rockford, IL has decided to honor the Cubs' win by building a 400 pound replica of Wrigley Field.  Every year the Forest Hills Country Club in Rockford builds a gingerbread house as a centerpiece for the club's annual holiday brunch.  It took 70 hours for his team to build the replica complete with cracker seats, gelatin windows, and an edible paper scoreboard.  There's even a train that travels around the field.  Wrigley Field

goat destroyed

Every year a wooden and straw goat is erected in Gavle Sweeden.  It's the Christmas goat and this was the 50th anniversary.  It didn't last long though.  Arsonists destroyed it within hours after it was inaugurated.  Every year the goat ends up being destroyed because it seems that arsonists just can't let it stand.  Christmas goat

frozen fish

An amusement park in western Japan put 5,000 dead fish under the ice of a skating rink.  The fish were purchased from a local fish vendor and were dead before they were placed under the ice but the display still drew a lot of criticism and the rink was forced to close.  The operator plans to hold a memorial for the fish.  closed

baby couldn't wait

Most people who traveled on Thanksgiving came home with a full belly.  But one couple had a different experience.  Mom gave birth to a baby girl on a highway just north of New York City.  Emergency crews were called but arrived 6 minutes after the little girl made her appearance.  That's a Thanksgiving that won't be forgotten by that family.  newborn
