LONG overdue library book

After 52,858 days (over 140 years!), long overdue book is returned to the Washington and Lee University’s Leyburn Library (previously known as Washington College)… what an amazing story!  See the Washington Post for more information.  I know I don’t always return my library books on time, but this has me beat by many many YEARS!

Yukon Government launches walking dead action plan.

According the Yukon News website, “The Yukon will be “undead ready” by 2012, according to a new $6-million Walking Dead Action Plan announced last week by the Yukon government. “This plan provides key opportunities for Yukoners to remain safe from the threat of re-animated corpses,” said Health and Social Services Minister Glenn Hart in an official release this week. The centrepiece of the plan is a $2.3-million package to promote “zombie-proof” housing in Whitehorse communities.Home builders will receive subsidies of up to 50 per cent for the installation of acid sprinkler systems, fortified window shutters and roof-mounted flamethrowers.”

My favourite part of this is the roof-mounted flamethrowers” …  who knew that it was so dangerous to live in Yukon?
