Soft drink lodged in man


A 38-year-old Lincoln man showed up at BryanLGH Medical Center West on Monday, claiming he had been assaulted last week, police said Tuesday.

The man told hospital staff he was in the area of 28th and P streets Thursday when someone punched him in the head from behind and kicked him when he fell.

He said he temporarily lost consciousness and came to, only to find his pants down to his ankles.

An X-ray at the hospital Monday revealed a 20-ounce soft drink bottle lodged in the man’s lower intestine. He was to have it removed Tuesday.

IT'S LIKE A SUNDAE BUT IT'S MADE OF MEAT

The sundae is compiled of cubes of grilled steak, layered with cheesy mashed potatoes and warm barbecue sauce. And just for giggles, a surprise sprinkling of Pop Rocks will be sure to please. Need more convincing? Let Dawn Thurmau convince you via mp3 below:

“Then on the top you put your chunks of steak with another little dollop of mashed potatoes and then a cherry tomato on the very top with some green onions. So it looks just like a chocolate sundae, but tastes like an open-face roast beef sandwich,”

“It adds the color and then, of course, the sensation on your tongue. And the fun thing about pop rocks is they don’t have such a strong flavor so you really don’t notice that there’s candy in it,” Thurnau said.

Thanks, Missouri Beef Industry Council! I'm gonna stuff my face with beef, mashed potatoes, and Pop Rocks right now!

haves and have nots

The rich say to the poor: Our wealth isn't as wonderful to have as you think; you're piggish and immature to desire it so; and we are to be congratulated and admired for having it.

And not just about money, either.

IT'S CONTINENTAL!

The Geologic Evolution of North America has been mapped out in great detail by Ron Blakey at Northern Arizona University. Matt Perry took the images and made a historically animated image (7.5 meg .gif file) so you can see the continent wiggle and fall apart and freeze and join up again through the eons. Fascinating stuff.
