I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Puppies! I wish my office had puppies.

I have a vintage meter. It's mounted on a stand and in my vintage kitchen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does it take pennies? Is is the kind where you see the coins the previous person put in spin around?

I'd sure be more likely to remember to feed the meter if it did something interesting, like light up, or play a tune, or on every hundredth coin, spit out a couple.

The Bagel Dome sounds cool, but really, you can get the same lasting effect if you just remember to put your bagels in an air-tight ziplock baggie.

It does take pennies, also nickels and dimes. You do not see the coins. It is a Duncan Meter. Looks to be like the one on this site, upper left. [link]

Another contender for Odd Headline o' the Day: B.C. police seek serial groin-kicker after series of attacks

LANGLEY, B.C. -- Police in Langley are investigating after a woman kicked a man in the groin so hard he lost a testicle -- the latest in a series of similar assaults.

...

Mr. Clark was walking in the Brookswood area of Langley in early September when he passed his assailant on the sidewalk.

"I was looking down and then I took a passing glance and saw her walk up to me," he said.

That's when the young woman inexplicably kicked him in the groin hard enough to send one of his testicles into his abdomen.

...

It wasn't until he woke up afterwards that he discovered the doctors were wrong - the force of the assault had caused his testicle to rupture. It had to be removed and will be replaced by a prosthetic before Christmas.

"My doctors say I will still be able to have children," Mr. Clark said. "But at 22 that's not something I want a stranger, this woman, to decide."

Embarrassed by the situation, Mr. Clark didn't go to the police until nearly four weeks after the attack.

Constables have told him there have been three or four similar assaults on other men, Mr. Clark said.

...

The suspect is described as a Caucasian woman, in her late teens or early 20s. She was between five-foot-five and five-foot-seven and 130 pounds with a slim build and brown hair.
