Indie Pop Cares A Lot

This has probably been around for at least a few weeks, but it’s a cool idea:

// Indie Pop Cares a Lot // A Charity CD for Tsunami Relief //

Send them proof that you donated at least $10 to a Tsunami Relief organization, and you get a free CD. It includes a lot of super-songfighters, and some guys that I never heard of.

Hunting Cats

Wisconsin is considering whether or not to allow the hunting of cats.

Obviously cat lovers are riled up against this proposal, but do they really have anything to worry about? Are hunters around the state poised and ready to go cat hunting as soon as the law is passed?

I guess they are more wily and .. uh .. better at landing on their feet than deer, so maybe the hunt is particularly thrilling, but at the end of the day all you have is a pile of cats!

Stop that Camel!

Passenger David Cox complained after he saw a baggage handler driven across the Sydney airport tarmac Wednesday wearing the camel suit that had been packed into the baggage he had checked in only minutes earlier.

Sadly there are no pictures.
