Didja Hear About the Zombie Dancers Who . . .

There's the Parent of the Year who had to return his award because he's on probation for arson. The "Girls Gone Wild" bus tour running over a bicyclist. McDonald's honoring the man who came up with the idea of the Egg McMuffin. Nine thousand turkey chicks suffocating in a jetliner's cargo hold. Police finding a severed hand in a jar at a stripper's home . . .
I could go on, but you get the idea. If you groove on true but oddball stories like these, then don't walk . . . run to Jim Romenesko's Obscure Store & Reading Room, which has been an Internet fixture for almost as long as there's been an Internet.

My personal faves are the stories, posted with stupefying regularity, about people finding weird stuff in their food and motorists mistaking the accelerator pedal for the break pedal.

Wile you're there, drop a duckat or two in Jim's tip jar.
