Even the blind squirrel finds an acorn once and a while. And today, PETA found their acorn. They may have come up with the most brilliant product marketing idea EVER!  This is beyond big. This is Seth Godin meets Robert H. Brooks meets the Bloomington Vegans!
The idea: PETA wants Ben & Jerry’s to use breast milk instead of cow’s milk in their ice cream!  Why, oh why didn’t they think of this sooner?  They could even cross promote this with Victoria’s Secret.  Just think of the flavor names: Heidi Klum’s …

Stonehenge is back in the news today as UK Archeologists are claiming that it was a center for healing.

MAN WITH CHAINSAW, SWORD LET INTO U.S.
Apparently this guy had just beheaded a man described as “the Chet Atkins of Minto” and stabbed “the Mrs. Chet Atkins of Minto” repeatedly until she expired. He entered the U.S. covered in blood. Customs officials couldn’t find a reason to detain the man, so they let him go. He was picked up in Massachusetts after the bodies were discovered in New Brunswick. Personally, I’m glad they let him go. …
