Front page of today's "South Wales Echo": Murder probe after man found dead. Well, yes: there wouldn't be much point in murder-probing if he'd been found alive.

Maybe the murder probe was the instrument of his death?
Wisconsin pharmacist who destroyed more than 500 vaccine doses believes Earth is flat, FBI says
I'm trying to find a reason why a flat-earth believer may want to destroy 500 vaccine doses. Would they fall off the planet, and he is pro-environment?
He reportedly thought the vaccine was dangerous. Perhaps we should be glad he didn't dump it over the edge of the flat earth. If there is anyone else out there, it might fall !plop! on *their* flat world, and they would not be happy campers.
(Adjusting for possibility of stacked flat worlds (flat pack? IKEA is making worlds now?); possible gravity differentials; residents of other planet living underground; Terry Pratchett tweaking the plot; etc.)
Perhaps those other flat worlds stacked under ours are virus-free, in which case they wouldn't need the vaccine. I'm sure the the pharmacist thought of that.
Then again, if that's really the case, I may jump off the edge myself and take my chances.
Makes me wish I were a cartoonist. One can imagine God sitting on his living room floor with an empty cardboard carton, a pile of boards, a little bag of fasteners, and an inscrutable sheet of instructions. He is shouting, "Part C? There is no Part C!"
I saw a symphonic performance of this on TV once. (Maybe Boston Pops?) Anyway, the performer acted it all out, right down to God getting down in the (invisible) mud to make humans. Delightful and powerful.

Thanks, Golden Key. Absolutely glorious!
Scores of people feared dead after glacier falls into river and crashes through dam
... which I think is not quite what happened: the (entire?) glacier itself didn't crash through the dam, it was the resulting floodwave after a chunk of the glacier had broken off.
Likewise. But the venue to which the headline referred clearly did. A copywriter with his wits about him would probably have written Water freezes instantly when it hits subfreezing air but he may have been facing a space limitation.
At any rate, it must have been a very slow news day for anyone to think that such a story merited attention.
Excitement in East Anglia (from the "Ipswich Star": Further bin disruption looms for Suffolk households (because of the snow).
I wonder what 'fruit of the loom' the gov't wants Suffolk householders to weave from bin disruptions, by handing out looms. Interesting recycling approach, though.
I never run through sprinklers in subzero temperatures. I think that's good advice for any of us.
Could make for a nice video, though, especially with the flip-flop kind of sprinkler: it arches up; person runs under; water starts freezing; sprinkler tries to flop the other way; water freezes halfway across, spilling in all directions.
Of course, the person may have frozen into a snow person by then.
From "Wales Online": "The Grade II listed thatched cottage with woodland walks on its doorstep". Which poses two questions. 1. If the walks are on the doorstep, aren't they going to be very short ones? 2. If the doorstep is covered in trees, how does one get in and out of the house?

And if the doorstep is considered part of the cottage, isn't that like stepping on your own feet?

Hold a Monster Truck Rally there? Or a demolition derby?

Oh, and what WOULD Ikea call the world flatpack? Got to have a great name...

Depending on the pronunciation, that either brings us full circle to a globe or to the equally delightful image of the Genesis 2 God making mudpies!
One of my favorite Creator-God things is James Weldon Johnson's poem "The Creation" (Poets.org).

On tonight's TV news crawl, ABC I think:
Firefighters rescue dog after falling off cliff
If I were a firefighter just picking myself up after having fallen off a cliff, rescuing dogs would not be the first thing I would think of doing.

3 rescued after 33 days on island
Yes, that's time enough for anyone to spend on an island, let alone a ménage à trois.
You can enjoy (!) the full story here.
Meanwhile, in the No sh*t Sherlock department:
Water freezes instantly when it hits cold air
I mean, who knew?
We have cold air all winter here, but never cold enough to freeze water.
At any rate, it must have been a very slow news day for anyone to think that such a story merited attention.
Oz is an island, the only continent which is definitely so.

Who knew that there was such a thing as a Pancake Tortoise? Apparently they have very flat shells.
I'm glad former South Korean president Park Geun-hye has found something to do now that she's out of office.

I am reminded of Teeny Little Super Guy.
That was just guys carrying branches. In LotR, the trees themselves actually walk.
It ain't what they expected.
