The Wonderful World of Odd

Hey guys! Natalie here today. I know you've probably been wondering who's the loser who hasn't posted a new song yet, but to be perfectly honest I've been thinking about it all day. As I was getting ready to call it a night, I walked into my bathroom and noticed a book laying on top of the toilet, "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader: Wonderful World of Odd." My curiosity got the best of me and I began to flip through it. As I read page after page of bizarre, yet hilarious facts I knew I'd have to share them with all of you. So without further ado, I present to you "The Bathroom Reader":

Weird China:
Divorce: In the autom of 2006, the Tongxing Centre Primary School suspended all classes. Local officials had planned to cut the number of teaching jobs, leaving them open only to teachers who were divorced or widdowed and had no other means of support. Result: All 40 of the school's teachers-all married women- filed for divorce... and got to keep their jobs.
Keep off the grass: In 2005, two Chinese men approached the China-Russia border at Slavyanka and attempted to cross into Russia on a lawnmower. Border guards refused to let them pass because they didn't have the proper documentation. So the men changed their story. Now they said they weren't trying to sneak into russia- they claimed they had been "mowing the lawn and got lost."

Weird America:
No Thanks, I'll get it Myself: In 2006, 3-year-old Robert Moore of Antigo , Wisconsin, spotted a Spongebob Squarepants doll in a grocery store's "claw" style vending machine. His grandmother, Fredricka Bierdemann, gave him a dollar to try to get the toy, but he failed. She turned her back to Robert, fishing through her purse for another dollar and when she turned back around, he was gone. Then she spotted him: He was inside the vending machine, surrounded by stuffed animals. He'd reached an arm through the bottom of the machine and then managed to crawl all the way in. The fire department got him out. "He was having a ball in there, hugging all the stuffed animals," Bierdemann said. "But I was shaking like a leaf."
A lot of Dough: Panera Bread, a sandwich store in the White City Shopping Center in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, has a clause in its lease that forbids the mall from renting to another sandwich shop. When Qdoba Mexican Grill opened in the mall, Panera tried to stop them, saying that Qdoba's most populare menu item- burritos- are actually sandwiches because they are made of bread (a tortilla) and filling (meat and beans). The dispute went to court. After testimony from a federal agriculture official and a professional chef, Qdoba won, with the judge ruling that a burrito is a burrito, and not a sandwich.
Now That's Using Your Head: In 1995, 37-year-old Peter Jonson of New York was shot in the head by a stray bullet from a gang dispute. He didn't go to the hospital because he didn't have insurance and feared having to pay off a massive medical bill. So he walked home, found a pair of pliers, and removed the bullet himself.

That's all for today. Now for something mildly educational yet pleasantly amusing =)
