Oreo Spill Shuts Down Illinois Highway
Police: Truck Driver Fell Asleep At Wheel
POSTED: 9:40 am EDT May 19, 2008
MORRIS, Ill. -- A trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos overturned, dumping boxes of cookies all over the road and the median about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. It shut down the highway and backed up traffic. Illinois State Police said the truck crashed after the driver fell asleep at the wheel.
Anyone who knows me knows that Oreos are my favorite cookies. I'd have been all over that highway.

Woman's Dead Body Lies in Flat for 35 Years
Friday, May 16, 2008
ZAGREB, Croatia — Governments have changed. War erupted and ended. Neighbors had children, and then grandchildren. But Hedviga Golik never left her tiny apartment in Croatia's capital — until her mummified body was carried out this week, 35 years after she died.
Police said Friday that no one ever reported Golik missing and no one has come to claim her body.
Residents of her loft building in downtown Zagreb had broken into Golik's flat after deciding that the apartment should belong to them, and not to her. Startled by the remains in bed, they called police.
Forensics experts said Golik likely died in 1973, about the time a neighbor last saw her. Expert Davor Strinovic said she seemed to have died of natural causes, but "it's almost impossible to say for certain" after so much time.
Some of Golik's neighbors claimed she had talked about going abroad.
Experts said her windows had been open, likely diminishing the smell. It remained unclear who — if anyone — was paying her bills and who exactly owned the apartment. In the 1970s, when Golik died, apartments were state-owned.
Neighbors now argue the apartment should be divided among the remaining tenants.
The discovery of Golik's body on Tuesday prompted media debates on how it is possible for a woman to die so long ago without anyone noticing. One local journalist said it showed people were becoming more alienated.
"My dear neighbors! Please keep on being curious and a bit tiresome, as you have been so far," Merita Arslani wrote in the Jutarnji list daily.
Now, REALLY. That's just messed up and sad. I sure do hope that SOMEONE over 35 years would notice me missing. If you normally talk to me all the time, and I haven't told you I'm not talking to you again, and you haven't heard from me in a year, then I'm dead and you need to send someone to find my shallow-buried body. Seriously. PLEASE look for me.

Chinese Toy Recall
BEIJING — The head of a Chinese manufacturer whose lead-tainted Sesame Street toys were the center of a massive U.S. recall has killed himself, a state-run newspaper said Monday.
Cheung Shu-hung, who co-owned Lee Der Industrial Co., committed suicide at a warehouse over the weekend, apparently by hanging himself, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.

This makes me so very sad.
Sir, the world didn't want you to pay for this mistake with your life. No one intentionally does things like buy from someone who uses lead in their paints. Things like that are accidents, and it wasn't your fault.
One of my parents' friends did the same thing once. He was at fault for something and felt that he had no other way out. He then killed himself, leaving his wife and many others wondering why he couldn't have come to them and just told them he was drowning. It's just a shame there are no more chances for either one of them.

Hollywood Pigeons Being Put On The Pill
It's about time someone came up with a humane way of treating overpopulation. I don't remember where or when I heard this, but I'd heard people were given permission to shoot "excess" squirrels or pigeons or some animal they believed need to be shot. I guess I should really be in PETA, but I'm not.
LOS ANGELES -- Pigeons living in tinsel town are going on the pill. Hollywood residents believe it's a humane way to reduce the pigeon population and the messes the birds make.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other animal rights groups approve of the measure.

Expensive pants? Or not.
Mr. Pearson, paying their court costs serves you right for harrassing these people. You should have learned the valuable lesson of "enough's enough." See below... once again, not my article. Look it up at wyff.com or click the link in the title.
Verdict Reached In $54 Million Pants Lawsuit
Judge Sides With Dry Cleaner
WASHINGTON -- A judge on Monday ruled in favor of a dry cleaner that was sued for $54 million over a missing pair of pants in a case that garnered international attention and renewed calls for litigation reform.
District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff ruled that the immigrant owners of Custom Cleaners did not violate the city's Consumer Protection Act by failing to live up to Roy L. Pearson's expectations of the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign that was once placed in the store window.
"Plaintiff Roy L. Pearson, Jr. takes nothing from the defendants, and defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung are awarded the costs of this action against the plaintiff Roy L. Pearson, Jr.," the ruling read.
