In 2004, a tree was planted in memory of George Harrison. Recently, something killed it. That something? An infestation of beetles. “That’s what you get for spelling our name wrong all these years!”, I like to imagine they said.

Happy 25th Birthday, News Of The Weird!
If you read this blog and actually like it, first of all why, but more importantly, you owe a bit of a thank you to a fellow by the name of Chuck Shepherd. If not for him and his News of the Weird column, I and to an extent Carin may not have the sorts …

While one side of its mouth talks endlessly about the need to make police work easier, the other sounds an awful lot like its trying to interfere with the ability of the RCMP to conduct business independently.

If Only Something Could Have Calmed Him Down
Darren Baldwin had a job. I say had, because for some reason he lost it. And when I say he lost it, I mean the job *and* his mind. After being given his walking papers, Baldwin promptly responded by punching his now former manager in the face. He then grabbed a couple of knives and …
