I read stuff
Wherein I read things, laugh (or not), and pass them on to you…
Damn! I’ve been loving the Chicago Code, and after losing another cop show I liked -The Good Guys – this really sucks. I’m kind of cringing for Chase now.
THE CHICAGO CODE 1.12 ‘Greylord & Gambat’:
If you’re a fan of television, there’s always going to be a show that you love that gets canceled prematurely. It’s inevitable. Either through low ratings or network mismanagement, some series just don’t take off. This calender year in particular was hard for me, because I already lost “Terriers,” “Stargate Universe” and “Lights Out.” If “The Chicago Code” could have been saved, it would have made my spring.
Because this show is everything I want from a cop drama. It has sharp writing, great characters, compelling stories… “The Chicago Code” really has it all.
But there is one bit of good news. We’re going to get an ending for this series. This week’s episode and next week’s finale are actually going to wrap up the Alderman Gibbons storyline that’s been percolating since episode one.

Think about what you’re throwing away! [Strappy]
I think most of us know about cutting up beer can rings and the like, so that they don’t endanger fish but what about everything else? It’s bad enough this crap ends up dumped into the oceans in ever greater amounts but the kinds of things people are dumping just makes life a living hell for all the other creatures we’re damaging.

Monday, October 11, 2010
Facebook was center stage last week for a story coming out of Australia and Rodney Foxes operation. A white shark named Strappy became entangled in a packing strap which was slowly cutting the shark in half.
In a first rate PSA by the Foxes they highlighted the need for cleaner oceans by featuring Strappy and the damage being done to him by one industrial packing strap. There was some talk of trying to cut the strap off this animal. No mean feat, as white sharks are notorious for not wanting to be touched.
This week The Dorsal Fin blog has the update on Strappy and a rescue operation that was successful. As it turns out Andrew Fox manged to release Strappy from his confinement and it is hoped that now this shark will live for many more years to come.
Kudos to the Fox operation for:
1. Providing an oceans PSA using Strappy as cause célèbre
2. Helping this animal at great personal risk
This is first rate work by a commercial shark diving operator who has lead the industry over the years.

Top 5 weird marriage revenge stories
All of these put making him sleep in the wet spot to shame:

Tuesday, August 4, 2009
The story of the wife who exacted revenge on her cheating husband by hatching a plot with his three mistresses to superglue his penis to his leg is far from the first tale of creative marital revenge we’ve featured. Here are our five top tales of bafflingly strange ways to get your own back on your spouse:
In January, 25-year-old Paul A. Wood of New York state was arrested after throwing a cat at his wife during an argument. The cat – which wasn’t declawed – struck his wife on the back. Neither the cat nor the woman were injured in the cat-throwing, according to authorities. Also in the ‘unusual weapons’ file: attacking your wife with profiteroles.
In a fine example of a considered and proportionate response to relationship troubles, a spurned Chinese wife set fire to more than 400 cell phones owned by her and her husband after he walked out on their marriage. The couple had owned a successful retail phone business before their relationship hit the rocks.
Setting a 110V booby trap for your wife
A man from Arkansas may have taken the notion of needing space in a relationship a little too far, after booby trapping his bedroom door so that his wife couldn’t get in. Authorities said that Herbert Caldwell Jr, 44, rigged up an electrical fence – normally used to pen livestock in – with a wire coathanger so that it attached to the doorknob of the bedroom door.
Serving your husband dog poo curry
An angry estranged wife in Scotland took revenge on her husband by feeding him a curry containing dog excrement. A court, where 47-year-old Jill Martin pled guilty to the charge of culpable and reckless conduct, heard that after serving him the dish and watching him as he started eating it, Martin burst out laughing. In her defence, solicitor Terry Gallanagh said that the case was like ‘an episode of Desperate Housewives’.
Setting fire to your ex-husband’s penis
A woman set fire to her ex-husband’s penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka, according to Moscow police. The attack ended three years of acrimonious co-habitation. Asked if the man would make a full recovery, a police spokeswoman said it was ‘difficult to predict.’
