A few odd stories in the Chicago Sun Times yesterday. I swear, I'm not making any of this up (www.suntimes.com)
-The Re-Burial of Juan Peron (ummmm.. why?)
-Guy makes life size rosary out of bowling balls on his front lawn
And, my personal favorite:
1 in 8 don't know Alaska is a state
October 18, 2006
JUNEAU, Alaska -- Alaska's governor wanted to find out what the rest of the nation thinks about his state, so he commissioned a poll.
The results show Americans love Alaska, but don't know a whole lot about it.
More than half the nation thinks most of Alaska is covered in ice and snow year-round. (Actually, just 5 percent of the state is.)
And one of every eight Americans believes Alaska is a separate country or else doesn't know that it's a state. AP
