why did the chicken cross the road?
to disrupt central scotland........
Major roads in central Scotland were brought to a standstill after a lorry containing 1,800 chickens crashed on the A80, leaving birds running loose.
The lorry jack-knifed on the southbound carriageway, near Haggs, at 0430 BST, leaving the 45-year-old driver with serious back injuries.
Central Scotland Police said about 400 chickens were killed in the incident.
The road, which serves as a main route to Glasgow, Stirling, Perth and Dundee, was reopened by police at 1245 BST.
The birds were being transported by Noble Foods from a farm in Perthshire to an abattoir at Gainsborough in Lincolnshire when the crash happened.
It took police and specialist chicken handlers from Noble Foods nearly nine hours to clear the scene as hundreds of the birds ran free in the accident area.
Ch Insp Donald McMillan said: "Around 400 chicken carcasses have been cleared from the scene and the road has now reopened.

X-Seed 4000
Japanese construction company Taisei Corporation has created a design for the world’s tallest building, measuring in at 13,123.2 feet. That’s almost 8 times taller than the world's current tallest building, Taipei 101, and 6.5 times taller than Burj Dubai, which is currently under construction in the United Arab Emirates and scheduled to take the title of World's Tallest Structure in 2008.
The Mt. Fuiji-looking building, officially titled the X-Seed 4000, will be built in Tokyo, Japan, though when (or even if) this will happen is still speculative. Once constructed, the outer-stratosphere-scraper will house between 500,000 and 1 million people on its 800 floors.

Eau de Play-Doh
That's right - the mad scientists at Demeter Fragrances have added a new fragrance to their already impressive stable of stink. In celebration of Play-Doh's 50th anniversary (last year), you too can smell like non-toxic modeling clay. Play-Doh Cologne.
Or, if Play-Doh's not your style, Demeter's Ol' Factory brews up concoctions that smell like model glue, crayons or earthworms. In fact, their list of fragrances is so long, you could almost wear a different scent every night of the year.
So, shower the dirt off, put on your fancy duds, spray on something hot and paint the town red!
P.S. You may want to save this one for another occasion.

LOS ANGELES -- Madonna intends to sign a $120 million recording and touring deal with live entertainment promoter Live Nation Inc., according to a person familiar with contract negotiations between the pop superstar and her longtime record company, Warner Music Group Corp.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the matter, said Wednesday that Madonna's management told Warner last week that she would accept Live Nation's offer after the record company refused to match the deal.
Madonna's last contract with the New York-based company calls for her to deliver one studio album and a greatest hits record.
Warner Music and Live Nation declined to comment. A call to Madonna's publicist was not immediately returned.
there's no crying in baseball..........
I understand that Fans get upset when "their" team loses, and sometime cry. But a broadcaster live on-air? I think that's unprecedented. Well that's exactly what Yankees radio announcer Suzyn Waldman did during the postgame show on WFAN last night.
Here's the audio. WCBS 880 Audio
No I was okay actually until I went into the clubhouse and the coaches are sitting in Torre’s office and they are watching this. And the tears you hear in my voice are coming down the faces of the coaches in that coach's room.”- Suzyn Waldman"Well Suzyn, in life all good things come to an end.”- John Sterling
God schadenfreude is so rich sometime(s). But in all seriousness there is NEVER an instance when a broadcaster should cry live on air. I understand her allegiance to the team and the emotions tied to working for them, but even John Sterling sounded shocked that she was tearing up.
You can also relive Suzyn's greatest moment ever when Roger Clemens came back earlier in the year if you'd like.
"you belong at applebees"
BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- A 6-year-old boy was hungry and decided he'd go to Applebees. So he grabbed the car keys, took his booster seat from the back seat of his grandmother's car and placed it in the driver's seat, then made a go of driving himself to the restaurant Tuesday.
He made it about 75 feet. Unable to take the car out of reverse, he crossed the street and ran into a transformer and communication box, knocking out electricity and phone service to dozens of townhomes.
Nobody was injured and the boy, whose name was not released, got out of his car and told his grandmother what happened.
"He proceeded to start the car and started backing up," said Sgt. Colleen O'Connell of the Broomfield Police Department. "He went backward about 47 feet, hit the curb, then went backward another 29 feet."
Investigators couldn't figure out how the boy reached the accelerator.
No charges will be filed.
"I have five children of my own, so I know you cannot watch them every minute they're awake," said nearby resident Nancy Hollis, whose power was knocked out by the accident.

BRISBANE, Australia - Australian doctors said they plugged a poisoned Italian tourist into a vodka drip after running out of the medicinal alcohol they would normally have used to save his life.
The 24-year-old Italian, who was not further identified, was diagnosed as having ingested a large quantity of ethylene glycol, a common ingredient in antifreeze that can cause renal failure.
Pure alcohol is often given in treating such cases because it can inhibit the toxic effects of ethylene glycol.
Dr. Pascal Gelperowicz at Mackay Base Hospital where the man was taken for treatment said he was given pharmaceutical-grade alcohol on arrival, but that the hospital's supplies soon ran out.
"We quickly used all the available vials of 100 percent alcohol and decided the next best way to get alcohol into the man's system was by feeding him spirits through a nasogastric tube," Gelperowicz said in a statement.
"The patient was drip-fed about three standard drinks an hour for three days in the intensive care unit," he said. "The hospital's administrators were also very understanding when we explained our reasons for buying a case of vodka."
The patient made a successful recovery. The incident occurred about two months ago, though the hospital just released information on the case.

SHOWBEARS: Auditions
This clip features a shocking expose of the cut throat, “take no prisoners” audition process. And yes, Ms. Schwartzbaum knows that SHOWGIRLS was made in the 90s (and we’re so impressed that YOU knew that, too) but it really should've been made in the 80s.

cyberman voice changer
The morose metal men may have lost their emotions, but it's easy to get emotional about a toy so cool it could easily be mistaken for an original prop .
The helmet is meant to fit most sizes of head using an adjustable head strap such as you'd find in sports or construction helmets. Fitting a head inside the gap is not difficult, though if you wear glasses it becomes a chore. Best to remove those before donning the Cyber-helm. The nose fits against a rubber guard that allows for a comfortable fit. Just at the mouth is a recessed microphone. Pushing the center button then modulates anything spoken into the microphone. The sound is accompanied by a blue LED lighting up in an effect that accurately captures a speaking Cyberman.
The voice modulator can't cover your speech, so some of your natural voice leaks out, but it does alter it and the speaker sends out the altered voice. The effect is good overall. There is a slide switch that controls the pitch of the modulation, so different voices can use different settings to achieve the same Cyberman sound.
can i get change for a million?
That's what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket.
But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.
The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said.
Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation.
Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.
