Obscure

Ia! Its wretched green plastic cuteness eats at my sanity!

Today is the day we celebrate Cow Pants.

While speaking with the exterminator today, I picked up a nice bit of trivia: Vitamin K is an antidote to Warfarin — aka “rat poison”.

The exterminator asked if there was dog food left out where the rats could get to it. He explained that dog food contains vitamin K, which would neutralize any rat poison he left out.

In Milwaukie, OR, someone turned a B-17 Bomber into a gas station/restaurant.

From The Register:

“Milwaukie, Oregon – only in America can you beat a B-17 into a gas station.

Shortly after WWII a guy named Art Lacey (he had a British wife) went to Kansas to buy a surplus B-17. His idea was to fly it back to Oregon, jack it up in the air and make a gas station out of it. He paid $15,000 for it. He asked which one was his and they said take whichever you want because there were miles of them. He didn’t know how to fly a 4 engine airplane so he read the manual while he taxied around by himself. They said he couldn’t take off alone so he put a mannequin in the co-pilot’s seat and off he went.

I’m sure it’s unbelievably nerdy, but I think this mossgraffiti is freakishly cool.
