Weird Facts: Radio Station Giving Away Free Divorce For Valentine's Day
weird facts
AP) CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A Charleston radio station is observing Valentine’s Day with a reminder that Cupid sometimes misses his mark. WKLC-FM, better known as Rock 105, is giving away a free divorce.
Valentine’s Day isn’t all hearts and flowers, says WKLC Program Director Jay Nunley. There is a darker side, he said, "where maybe you despise your spouse and resent the entire day."
Through 4 p.m. on Thursday, Valentine’s Day, applications for the free divorce will be accepted on the classic rock station’s Web site, http://www.wklc.com. The winning name will be drawn at 5 p.m.
Nunley cautions that this is a real divorce and people shouldn’t enter if they aren’t serious. Also, people expecting a long, drawn-out legal battle should hire a lawyer because the Rock 105 contest is for a relatively uncomplicated divorce.
Charleston attorney Rusty Webb will handle the actual filing.
"Sure we can give away concert tickets, and we do," said Nunley. "That’s going to make you happy for a little while. This is the chance to make someone happy for the rest of their life."

Weird Facts: Moose That Fell Off A Cliff Nearly Squashes Alaska Trooper's Patrol Car
weird facts
AP) Alaska State Troopers see plenty of hazards, but Trooper Howard Peterson was nearly felled by a new one: falling moose. Peterson was driving Feb. 2 on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage when something big and black fell out of the sky about 20 feet in front of his patrol car. "Falling rock!" he thought, ready to steer clear if it bounced onto the highway.
The thing didn't roll or shatter. It turned out to be a moose that fell from cliffs next to the highway.
Drivers often see Dall sheep on the cliffs but rarely moose. Peterson estimates the animal fell 150 feet or more.
It was windy that night, Peterson said, and a gust may have startled the moose into a fatal fall.
"They occasionally have bad days like the rest of us," said wildlife biologist Rick Sinnott. "They slip and fall. Maybe he was reaching for a branch and the snow just gave way."
Sinnott has heard or moose dying in strange ways _ breaking through ice and drowning, jumping off railroad bridges at the sound of a train, falling off small banks. Once he saw the remains of two bulls that died during a rutting battle when their antlers got hooked together by a single piece of barbed wire.
A fall off a cliff probably doesn't happen often, he said.
Peterson treated the dead animal the same way he handles moose killed by cars. After snapping photos, Peterson called one of the charities that salvage road kill.

Weird Facts: Woman Declaired Dead By Mistake ... Twice
weird facts
SUMMIT, N.J. (AP)A 57-year-old New Jersey woman has been declared dead twice in the past year by the Social Security Administration, despite the fact that she is very much alive.
Susan Lindsley, who is developmentally disabled and works about 10 hours a week, relies on Social Security income to get by.
Two months after the Summit, N.J., resident's husband died, the SSA not only stopped her disability and her widow's benefit payments, but also dipped into her bank account in July to reclaim $7,000.
The agency wrote to Lindsley's brother, John Adam of Staten Island, offering condolences on the loss of his sister.
The mix-up was cleared up, but two weeks later she was declared dead again. Lindsley's brother had to call eight elected officials for help before she was resurrected once and for all.

Weird Facts: British men pick big TV over sex
weird facts
Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey - perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions - has found.
Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer "must-haves".
The firm found 47 per cent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.
"It seems that size really does matter more for men than women," the firm said.
A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate.

Weird Facts: Man Makes Bomb Threat To Get Beer
weird facts
A Virginia Beach man says he called in a bomb threat to a Target store to get the police away from a grocery store across the street just to rob it of beer!
The saga all started Wednesday afternoon when Virginia Beach Emergency Communications got a 911 call from a pay phone in the Birdneck Shopping Center.
The caller, 24-year-old Keith Hamrah, told the dispatcher that a bomb had been placed inside the Target store on First Colonial Road. Hamrah said the bomb was set to blow up as soon and there were armed men outside of the store.
Police officers and the bomb squad responded to Target and evacuated the building. The Department's Bomb Squad was notified and responded to the scene. They checked out the area and found it to be safe.
Two detectives went back to the pay phone Hamrah had used and started searching the area for suspects.
That's when they found a man who was apparently drunk and was subsequently arrested for public intoxication. It turned out to be Hamrah.
In an exclusive interview with NewsChannel 3, Hamrah said that he called the threat in because he and his friends wanted beer at the Food Lion across the street. They tried to get the police at the grocery store to respond to the Target so they had a clear shot of their goods.
Hamrah was charged with one felony count of Threatening to Bomb and Public Intoxication. He is being held in the Virginia Beach Correctional Center on a $5,000 surety bond.
He could possibly face further charges.

Weird Facts: How To Build A Successful Million Dollar Business On Hating President Bush
http://www.bushslastday.com/
weird facts
For three years, a Bush-hating Vermont pipe carver has built a million-dollar business around the digits "01.20.09."
On Jan. 20, 2009 -- one year from today -- Elliot Nachwalter and his company, "Bush's Last Day," will have to find new inspiration.
That's the day President George W. Bush leaves the White House.
"I have a couple little products lined up. Both of them have nothing to do with politics," Nachwalter said. "I'd like to think this time we won't have to do another end-of-term button."
First doodled on a dining room table, then slapped onto lapel buttons, "01.20.09" has become wildly popular.
"It was like a bulb, a light went off," said Nachwalter, who drew it in a fit of pique prompted by Bush's refusal to sign a piece of environmental legislation. "I started giving them out to my friends and anybody who thought it was interesting, and I couldn't have enough of them. I said 'Maybe I should think about selling them.'"
Now, more than 600 businesses across the country sell the T-shirts, buttons, bumper stickers and other products that proclaim "01.20.09," some with the subtext "Bush's Last Day" and "Earth, Water, Air." The Internet has spread the message -- and the products -- globally.
"The Web site became like a cult thing. Everybody would send it to their mailing list and things started to grow pretty rapidly," Nachwalter said.
"01.20.09" has appeared in movies, on late-night television shows -- even on a Humvee in Iraq. Meanwhile, "Bush's Last Day" countdown key chains tick off the days, hours, minutes and seconds until Bush's era ends at the White House.
Nachwalter started out in a closet, but quickly outgrew his space. Now, he and six employees work 16-hour days filling orders out of a Manchester industrial park.
The product line has grown as well. There are refrigerator magnets, coffee mugs, golf balls, greeting cards, even "Fire Bush Hot Sauce" and dog treats called "Bush Biskits."
Donna Tsitsikaos, a spokeswoman for America, a gift store chain with 17 retail outlets in the Washington, D.C., area and New Jersey, said five of the chain's best-selling products with political themes came from Bush's Last Day.
America started selling the Bush's Last Day key chains. Now, it sells 12 Bush's Last Day items.
"We've been thrilled. It'll continue to be in our lineup through the rest of 2008," Tsitsikaos said. "We're hoping the company will come up with something creative after this product goes out of style."
Renee Carl, a left-wing political activist from Washington, said she sees a lot of the "01.20.09" bumper stickers in her Washington neighborhood. She has one on her refrigerator. She has sent them as presents in birthday cards.
"We think everyone doing work thinking toward a new progressive administration is doing great work," said Carl.
