That's not filigree, it's the signal to call Batman.

walmart spotted

Despite medical marijuana being legal in Michigan, WalMart has fired a cancer patient and former employee of the year who tested positive for the drug, which was recommended by his doctor.

"I was terminated because I failed a drug screening," ex-WalMart employee Joseph Casias told WZZM-13.

In 2008, Casias was Associate of the Year at the WalMart store in Battle Creek, Mich., despite suffering from sinus cancer and an inoperable brain tumor.

I would think really pissing of someone who is expecting to die soon anyway would be very high risk. Will going Walmart become the new going postal?

Oh, now that is lame. Suppose he got ticketed for impeding traffic? If he knew no better, the lumberyard guy should've -- use the tow rings front and rear and bow-bend those plates (2x4s considerably longer than studs, which go vertical, and plates horizontal top and bottom of a wall) over the roof fore and aft.

Not sure if this is Weird News or Idiot Sightings. I thought this thread might be lonely.

Man fights for life after slug-eating dare


Health authorities are warning of the dangers of eating slugs as a Sydney man battles a rare form of meningitis.

The ABC has been told that a 21-year-old caught rat lungworm disease after he ate a slug as a dare some time ago.

He is now in a critical condition in hospital.

The disease is caused by a parasitic worm that is carried by slugs and snails.

It can also be caught from raw vegetables or fruit which have not been washed properly.

In some instances, the worm can cause fatal swelling of the brain and spinal cord.

Doctor Jeremy McAnulty from New South Wales Health says these cases are rare and most people can recover.

"It goes away by itself because the body's immune system will eventually get rid of it," he said.

NSW Health says it understands there may be a suspected case in NSW of rat lung worm, however as this is not a notifiable disease and for privacy reasons is unable to provide further details.

Geez Shawnee! For the last time! The test results from the clinic told you what you have! Get the ointment, clear it up and be more careful about what you put in there!!!

A friend adopted two brown chow puppies recently. Sadly, they got some kind of disease and passed away. A month or two later, he adopted a black retriever labador. As the black puppy was prancing around the courtyard, this girl, she's actually 37 yrs. old, asked, "Is that the same puppy from before?" Someone replied that this puppy is black while the other one was brown. She said she thought it changed color.
