Farewell, Movember...

Well hello there. Before you do anything, notice whether or not you have "followed me". No? Then start. That's right: now is the time for conformity. Click the "Follow" button at the top of the screen so that you are listed as my non-creepy groupie.

Following me now? Excellent. Here are your instructions for today:

1. Make sure you hand in your short stories to the supply teacher. Thank you. Be sure to include all the work you handed in the first time, along with the peer editing sheet your partner included and a final draft.

2. Post a blog on the topic below AND comment on classmates' blogs!
Today you are to expose yourself and us to some quirky news. That is, fill us in on something unusual, bizarre, interesting or just plain weird. For your post: Simply search for "bizarre news" or "funny world news" and see what you find. Don't just go with the first one you find. Be sure to explain why you chose your news item, to summarize it, indicate where you found it (if there is no link provided) and offer your thoughts about it. Here's a strange news find that I enjoyed...

So, when I stumbled across what the Japanese were doing with their man(person) hole covers, I was intrigued. I'm not sure I'd want someone driving over my art, and I worry it might cause drivers to suddenly stop and have a look-see while being rear-ended, but the idea is a creative one none-the-less.
