Someone is really missing Halloween: The AP must not have any real news today. Romania is taxing the self-employed, so Romanian witches are casting spells on the politicians who made the law. Yes, really. And yes, the AP really goes all-out with the witchiness.
Sitting cross-legged in her villa in the lake resort of Mogosoaia, just north of Bucharest, she said Wednesday she planned to cast a spell using a particularly effective concoction of cat excrement, a dead dog and a chorus of witches.
“We do harm to those who harm us,” she said.
You should see the pictures.
Polish firefighters risk their lives to save a… deer? I’m a huge fan of helping the helpless, but risking their lives to save a deer? Can anyone say, “WTF?”
I’ll give you a hundred trillion dollars for that: Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation, during which $700 million bought a loaf of bread and students scoffed at rocks that were 700 million years old as nothing special, is causing a market in Zimbabwe banknotes. A 100 trillion-dollar note goes for: Five bucks.
If you were in Idaho or Washington (state) you might have won last night’s Megamillions drawing. Or if you were on “Lost.”
Nope. The Lost fans only got $150. Three plus the megaball.
Yes, I overstated the “Lost” case. But the coincidence is one of those WTF news items. I think.
Meh. Think of how much money those Lost fans have spent on those numbers all these years, for such a little return. I think it’s more a case of “Poor saps” than WTF.
