My Beaufort, SC buddy Karl W. sends along this exceptional story from the Palmetto State’s sLowcountry:
BLUFFTON — A State Law Enforcement Division bomb squad rushed to the Bluffton Post Office by helicopter Thursday morning after postal workers noticed a suspicious package — only to find two adult toys inside, police said.
And, further afield, Mike W. points out this useful article: “Frequent flier program myths and realities.”
In other news: “The ethics of amputation by choice”:
People should be able to have healthy limbs removed by choice, say two Australian philosophers who are exploring the phenomenon of “amputee wannabes”.
Amputee wannabes become obsessed with cutting off a particular part of their body, even though it may be healthy.
Past research has suggested this rare condition may be because they believe their body part is diseased or ugly, because the notion of becoming an amputee sexually excites them, or because of a mismatch between their body and their image of it.
Whoa. (Related hoax: “Adding and Subtracting.”)
