The provincial government in British Columbia has stated that any marriage commissioners who aren’t willing to marry same-sex couples must resign by the end of March. No word on the consequences if they decide not to step down.
Too Weird Not to Mention
You may have learned about something like this from watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but apparently it really did happen:
A seven year old boy living in Kazakhstan, who doctors originally diagnosed with a stomach cyst, was actually carrying his dead siamese twin inside his belly.
“The foetus had developed into a tumour but was found to have hair, nails and bones.”
Are You Ok Michael? You Look So…. Pale
Authorities issued a warrant yesterday for Michael Jackson’s arrest, based on multiple charges of molesting a child and asked the self declared King of Pop to surrender his passport and turn himself in.
Lethbridge Man Dies
A man was crushed to death outside the UFA farm store when he dived under a slow-moving semi-trailer to retrieve his baseball cap that was blown off in high winds. “The truck was rolling forward and he dove under to grab the hat. He tried to grab it and wiggle out quickly,” a witness said. He never made it.
Not to make light of a very sad situation, but to me, having your hat run over by a semi truck is a lot like dropping your keys in a river of molten lava. Forget ’em man, because they’re gone.

BMX results
The first time I had my name published in the newspaper was June 15, 1985. I was six years old. It was the results from a BMX race in which I placed second.
I remember being in first for most of the race and not understanding that I needed to keep peddling super hard right to the end. If only I had been more familiar with the story of the Tortoise and the Hare.
