Skating is fun — but not in your car.
A woman had to be rescued from her Chevy Monte Carlo after she accidently drove it onto a frozen lake in Michigan.
The woman, who was sober, had no idea she had steered off a road and wound up driving on the ice.
Amazingly the car didn’t fall through.

Looks like the time has come for Dolphinstock.
A seven-mile-long mega pod of dolphins has been spotted swimming off the coast of San Diego. The huge swarm of sea mammals is estimated to be over 100,000-strong.
Dolphin pods are usually only about 15 to 200 animals large, and no one has any idea why this one has gotten so large.

A Canadian beer was taken off menus — because it violated human rights.
A craft brew called “Albino Rhino” was banned after a woman with albinism filed a complaint with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal claiming the name was insensitive to people with her condition.
The beer will be renamed “Rhino,” which the BC Animal Rights Tribunal will probably be hearing about soon.

Some leaders fight for freedom or for human rights. Don Selvage is fighting for loogies.
The Lakeland, Fla., city commissioner is working overtime to repeal a 69-year-old law that bans spitting on public sidewalks or grass.
Even though the town has only handed out 17 spitting tickets since 2000, Selvage has put forth his Expectoration Proclamation, in reaction to the injustice of a man being charged for spitting last year.

This isn’t what environmentalists have in mind when they talk of biofuel.
An Icelandic whaling-ship company has announced it has gone green because its vessels use 80 percent diesel fuel and 20 percent biofuel.
Unfortunately, for Mother Earth, that biofuel turns out to be whale oil.
