-Yellow snow, orange snow... Don't eat snow in any pastel shade-
Oily, smelly yellow and orange snow fell across the Omsk region of Siberia, leading Russia to send out a team of chemists to see what was up. "So far we cannot explain the snow, which is oily to the touch and has a pronounced rotten smell," said Omsk environmental prosecutor Anton German, quoted by the Russian news agency Itar-Tass on Thursday. Residents are advised not to "use the snow for household tasks or let animals graze on it." (KazInform)
-A new approach to 'dine and dash'-
A thief in a Chicago suburb has run out on paying for at least 20 day spa treatments. "Pedicures, manicures, facials, those are the standards he goes for," Algonquin Police Detective Doles said. The report says, "The man typically gets treatments such as a sea salt body polish, a hair cut and color, but before it's time for his massage, he says he has to leave the building to use his cell phone or get papers from his briefcase. Then, Doles said, the man leaves and never returns." Police say the suspect is 6 feet tall, around 300 pounds, and looks fabulous. (San Francisco Gate)
-Can we jail them for just being smug assholes?-
Boston 'guerilla marketer' Peter Berdovsky seems to be a sarcastic prick. After being charged with placing a 'hoax device' (yeah, they'll get off on that one) advertising Aqua Teen Hunger Force, he and his co-defendant Sean Stevens held a press conference and played cute by talking about hair:
"For example, Afros, I think, comes kind of from the '70s, but then again, there's other styles," said dreadlocked suspect Peter Berdovsky, 27, who chided, "Please don't interrupt," when someone interjected that he wasn't taking the situation seriously.
When asked, "How do you feel right now?" Berdovsky replied, "I feel like my hair is pretty perfect."
Asshole. Have I mentioned yet that Aqua Teen Hunger Force is about the stupidest piece of suck to hit cable since Glenn Beck? In fact, just about everyone involved in this thing is stupid -- It's a documented fact. (New York Post)

Can I get an, "Amen?" Wired's 27B Stroke 6:
"Actually, these guys are just annoying paid shills for a corporation, who are acting like they are radical artistes sticking-it-to-the-man, like some artistic version of Jackass, AND getting PAID $300 to do it. Punch it, Sean and Peter (I'll be careful not to punch your artist knuckles too hard)." (Wired)
