First there was the story about stolen beer, then the truck full of whiskey that burned.

Finally, here’s a story about a small distillery that is planning to produce 184 proof whiskey. That’s 92% pure alcohol. The whiskey will be distilled four times, and they plan on producing about 5,000 bottles of the stuff.

If all 5,000 bottles of that stuff caught fire, the small distillery will beat the NASA probe to Pluto……

Why is it these weird stories tend to run in groups of three?

Is rather completely divorced from the world of sanity these days….

A Dutch “artist” has put hairstyles on cars. That’s right, he put hairdos on cars and is displaying them as art. One of the cars sports a mullet. A bright orange mullet.

Now, I can’t under any circumstances think of the words mullet and art coexisting in the same context. But maybe that’s just me.

It must be booze related news day today.

A shipment of Scotch whiskey burned up, causing a loss of $240,000. That’s a lot of whiskey….

Apparently, a tire on the truck burst, causing the resulting damage.

Having been behind 18-wheelers when one of the tires caught fire and burst, it’s a wonder there aren’t more stories like this.

Someone made off with $26,000 worth of beer. A semi-trailer load of the stuff was stolen from a trucking company. This could be a crisis! Prices could skyrocket as the shortage is felt!

Be on the lookout for the thieves, who will likely be making frequent stops to use the rest room…..

I read an article like this and I frankly wonder what in heck they are teaching in schools these days. It certainly isn’t history.

The article implies that it is some kind of revelation that gladiators had a strict code of conduct. Although the forensic proof is interesting, it only confirms what was already well known and documented. But one would have to have actually read and understood some history to be aware of facts, I guess.

The real tour-de-force of ignorance in this article is the caption of the picture. It describes the individuals shown as being dressed as gladiators.

They are dressed as Roman Legionaries.

Newspapers call a terrorist a “radical environmental activist“.

A man who bills himself as a member of the Earth Liberation Front has been indicted for demonstrating how to build a firebomb. The speech he was giving occurred only a short time after an apartment complex under construction was firebombed. This guy is also an ex-con who spent four years in prison for firebombing an animal testing facility.

It is only a matter of time until the Earth Liberation Front kills people. Terrorists always escalate things.

The media has got to start calling people like this for what they really are and stop legitimizing them as “activists”.
