I was reading the news yesterday & had to laugh at a few things.  The stories themselves aren't funny but the headlines used were.  Here they are:

Actor David Carradine, best known for his tv-series Kung Fu & Kung Fu: The Legend Continues and his work in Kill Bill 1 & 2 was found after apparently committing suicide by hanging himself in his hotel room closet during the filming of his new movie "Stretch".  Perhaps he was a method actor or maybe doing some research?

A South Carolina mother has been charged with child neglect for concealing her 555 pound son!  Little hard to conceal someone of that size.  Especially since he was only 14.  Other headlines included Mom & 555lb son on the run!  And: They were found hiding in Maryland.  I'd think they would be pretty easy to spot.

And my personal favorite: An 18 year old Idaho woman has been arrested for throwing ranch dressing at another motorist during a fit of road rage.  Why is that so funny other than the obvious?  Because she rammed her gmc Sonoma truck into a little Kia SEVERAL times but that wasn't enough for the headline creators.  Had to throw in there the ranch dressing part.  And in case you're curious, there's a link to her Myspace page on the Weekly Vice.  But no, she hasn't logged in since going to jail and yes! she has truth box!  Muahahahahahahahaha.

  Wow...   You may well be the champion at finding the odd stories!  I'd heard about David Carradine but the other two got by me.  You're really going to have to clue me in on your methodology.

It's easy.. I usually start out by reading the latest news on foxnews.com and cnn.com.  Then, I check out their crime stories, hit up a little failblog for humor and theweeklyvice.com then follow wherever my perverse interest takes me!  Okay, I told you mine, now you tell me yours.

I go to shortnews.com, oddnewsarticles.com, Weird News at MSNBC.com, and Reuters Oddly Enough section.  Then I branch out from there.  I guess the difference is that I stay focused on the internationally oriented sites where you boil it down to the local level.  I forgot about failblog.  I have start adding that one to my routine.  The Weekly Vice is a pretty interesting site too.  I'll have to spend more time there.
