Wordless Wednesday I think someone got carried away when they decided to add on to their trailer. They just kept adding and adding and adding some more trailer modules! I’ve got to admit it’s pretty cool looking. Update- this photo is apparently from a film set somewhere in Europe. Wonder if the show is about Euro trailer trash?

Telepathic Chiropractor
James C. Burda surrendered his Ohio Chiropractic license this past September after he was investigated for offering to treat his patients via telepathy for $60 per hour. He claimed that he had the ability to go back in time to realign damaged bones and joints using his techniques of telekinetic vibration, which he called “bahlaqeem vina” and “bahlaqeem jaqem.”
He’d admitted when questioned by investigators that these were nonsense words that came to him one day while he was driving around. An exam ordered by chiropractic regulators found that he had “delusional disorder, grandiose type.” Yeah, so the Chiropractor is going to be seeing a specialist of his own now I presume? Perhaps a psychiatrist?
Eel Bowling?
Odd Sport Cancelled:
The 30-year-old traditional festival of eel-“bowling” in the fishing village of Lyme Regis, England, was canceled in July after complaints from an animal rights activist that it was disrespectful to eels.In the ritual, teams of anglers stand on platforms and swing a giant (but dead) conger eel, attached to the ceiling, to see who will be the last person standing.
Said a spokesman for the charitable event, which raises money for lifeboat crews, “But it’s a dead conger, for Pete’s sake. I shouldn’t think the conger could care one way or another.”
How on earth do the English think up these crazy “Sports”?
Creating a new crime to do the time:
Leon Howard Matter was arrested in Sandusky, Ohio, in August for sending a letter containing “anthrax” (though it turned out to be harmless powder) to the local FBI office.
He told agents the reason he did it was because he was facing earlier child pornography charges and didn’t want to go to prison for that because he’d get beaten up. Threatening the FBI, he reasoned, has a better cachet.
