The Nut Cache - a collection of recent things I found interesting, or amusing, or nutworthy.
This story is quite shocking and all too sad. No one knows what drove him to take this action. He must have been a tortured soul... tormented by things nobody around him could see. Was there no one to ask him, "Are you all right?" So, next time you see a squirrel, offer him a nut. Tell him he's got something to live for. Show him that you care.Okay, this is embarrassing. It seems that, since 1922, the Utah state flag has broken the law. No, really. It seems that the design is laid out in state law, but that a 1922 hand-sewn flag got it wrong. All flags since then have copied the incorrect flag. Well, State Representative Julie Fisher has vowed to put it right! Fight on, Rep. Fisher! Heaven forbid that you actually take on something tough...We've all laughed at some of the warning labels and legal disclaimers we find on certain products. Things like, "Do not drive with sunshield in place." (On a cardboard sunshield that keeps the sun off the dashboard) Or, "Caution: The contents of this bottle should not be fed to fish." (On a bottle of shampoo for dogs) Or, "May irritate eyes." (On a can of self-defense pepper spray) Or, "Warning: has been found to cause cancer in laboratory mice." (On a box of rat poison (Really wondering who paid for that study... and why?)) Now, just when you think they've covered everything, it looks like we'll have to go back and put "Do not try this at home" on certain 1980's video games...Have you ever had those haunting thoughts that you've forgotten something important? Or woken up in a panic, sure that you were supposed to be somewhere? Have you ever actually overslept and missed an important meeting or event? Pastor Stefan Widman has. In fact, he missed Christmas services at his church. Really. This is really the stuff of pastoral nightmares...And the Nuttiness goes on and on...
