7/17

1. A German artist is in trouble for making a garden gnome that satirically gives a Nazi salute. I don’t think that’s a big deal, but I do have trouble with the way the gnome keeps satirically invading Poland.

2. There’s been an increase in new homes being built, mainly because of rising sales for the Amana refrigerator company. These days, their boxes are considered new home construction.

3. Some laid-off French auto workers have threatened to blow up their old factory. But then they found out the company wanted it blown up. So now the laid-off workers want to be paid to do it. They’re going to wait a day though, because that’s their government-mandated vacation time.

4. Police in New Jersey arrested a house burglar who came back to the house, rang the bell, apologized, then ran on foot. Couldn’t he just send a card? I’m sure Hallmark has something for that. They’ve got everything else. Police said they didn’t know if the burglar had a lawyer. I’m guessing no.

5. Scuba divers in San Diego are being attacked by jumbo squid, who test to see if the divers are edible. Well, speaking just for myself, those divers are very edible. I had one for breakfast this morning.
