What weird news stories make you either laugh out loud, or just say "huh?'

[Rowan MacD]

This isn't a news story, but when I saw it, I really said, "Huh?"

I just went on Ebay & there is a used Moresca fairy bodice with a starting bid of $350.  The reason for the "Huh?"

You can buy it new from Moresca for $250.

 Yer kidding me.

Edit: Nope, Yer right, they want $350.00 for a used corset that sells new for $250.00...
What a waste of posting fee. LOL

No bids on the Moresca, but the hello kitty corset is still available.  LOL

The article also mentions camera laden insects. Last summer there was an onslaught of Stink Bugs throughout the United States. Co-incidence ?

That is a huge bunch of BS. Freedom of speech or not they should not be allowed to do that.

Unless there is some law that will make them move back further there really isn't a way to stop them.  Just as it is our right to wear our garb and enjoy our opinions, they have a right to have their signs and express their opinions.   Like it or not you have to take the good with the bad. Soldiers fought and died to give us (and them) the right to have our own opinions.  It is one of the things that makes the USA what it is.

I own a 1992 Miata that I bought in San Antonio in ... 1992.  It takes it's Texas heritage very seriously:  It refuses to leave the garage if the temperature is below 50 degrees or if the sun is not shining.
