junk food junkies

Its been a long time since I went into the wierd news catagory. Today's stories involve animals.

I've been hearing, for the last three weeks or so, about this odd little seagull in Scotland who goes to the same store every day, and nabs a bag of chips. I'm thinking this seagull is not long for this world, based on salt intake, alone! And you know, the store has gotten quite a large amount of noteriety, and advertisement from this seagull. They should put out a healthy snack for the poor thing. Instead of chips. And apparently, this seagull grabs the same brand, every time. For the record, I've never liked Seagulls. Flying Rats is all they really are. They also have good aim. . .

Not to be outdone, in Helsinki Finland, there is a store who has a squirrel come visit. The squirrel has good taste. He steals chocolate. Not just any chocolate, but "Kinder Chocolate". It apparently comes with a toy for the kids. He unwraps, then eats the bar in the store, then runs away with the toy.

So the next time you walk into a store, be on the lookout. Word is spreading amongst our animal friends that it's ok for them to come in, and eat junk food. I'm sure Yogi and Boo Boo are at the Quicky Mart in Yellowstone as I type, looking for their Picanic.

On a more somber note. I have to say the bridge collapse in Minnesota is really quite a sad, tragic thing. It is just another thing that has me saying we should all go out, and live, appreciate life and our loved ones. Because you never really know what's going to happen. I am sure, all those people, in those cars, would have never guessed that their lives would end when the bridge underneath them collapsed.
