Say, Witty, I thought you might get a kick out of this news report: Police in Japan have been working for months to figure out why a light pole in Suzuka suddenly snapped at its base.
Most light poles in the country last for 50 years or more, but this one was only 23 years old.
NBC New York reported on Oct. 1 that forensic scientists found 40 times more urea at the pole's base than was found on nearby poles. Yep, dog pee killed the light pole. The urea and sodium in dog urine caused the pole to erode.
The new pole is up, but dogs are already marking it with their caustic streams.

Weird current news from Singapore. Speech Academy Asia in Singapore planted clowns outside multiple primary schools in an effort to persuade students to enroll in public-speaking courses, The Straits Times newspaper reported. In response, principals and parents urged students to stay away from strangers, including the clowns.
Kelvin Tan, the director of the academy, apologized for alarming people. He explained that "road show" employees were told to put on "cute mascot" costumes, but he wasn't aware they'd be wearing clown get-ups.
"Maybe the clowns were too scary. It's wrong and we won't do it again," he said.

Say, Witty, this news report comes from Fargo, North Dakota. Insurance agent Bill Fischer has a perennial battle with a certain red squirrel, Fox23-TV reported. Every fall, the squirrel hoards away walnuts for the winter inside Fischer's pickup truck, then Fischer has to remove them in order to drive the truck.
This year, Fischer has collected almost 350 pounds of walnuts from around the engine, the wheel wells, the front bumper and parts of the doors. Fischer said he tried spraying the truck with a mixture of Tabasco sauce and cayenne pepper, but now he thinks the squirrel is attracted to the scent.
So that report makes me ask you, Witty, if you ever had such a problem with squirrels??
