Bucket seat or illegal immigrant? Mexico
It's the fun-time game that everyone loves to play. And lately, the U.S. Customs Service has had to play it quite a bit, as people attempting to cross the border have been hiding themselves as car parts. Yes, it's kind of sad seeing the lengths to which people will go to try and get into the U.S. But, call me evil, it's also pretty damn hard not to laugh your ass off at the pictures

Canada's New Strange Brew Drogas
Above the border, they're seeing all kinds of green. With a recently relaxed attitude towards marijuana production and consumption, Canada has seen its cannabis revenues skyrocket--to the tune of $7 billion, some estimates say. While some, including the Canadian Mounties, would like to put a stop to the herb harvest en masse, with bucks that big, the tweeds will be flowing from our canuck neighbors for years to come. Cheers to you, Canada.

Blind Kangaroo Saves Farmer Heroes
On my ninth birthday, I wished for a dog. I didn't get one. Now I see that it wasn't to torment me or scar my childhood, but to make way for a bigger and better pet: the half-blind kangaroo. My opinion of kangaroos has never been high (especially after being subjected to previews for "Kangaroo Jack"), but now I see they have a quite amiable side to them...even Lassie-like. And that comes in handy, as an Australian farmer learned recently, when his very own half-blind kangaroo, Lulu, saved him from being killed by a falling tree branch.

Canadian cannabis users want a refund Drogas
The first users of Canada's legal marijuana are less-than-thrilled with the quality of the goods. "It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS patient in Gibsons, B.C. "It gave me a slight buzziness for about three to five minutes, and that was it. I got no other effect from it."  Read More >>

What's next, no sex in the champagne room? Amsterdam
In a move that threatens to bring an end to an institution for backpacking Americans since the 1970's, smoking is soon to be banned in Amsterdam's coffee shops. According to city officials, marijuana will still be available for purchase at the city's 800+ coffee shops, but smokers will have to head outside, or into the privacy of their own home/hostel, to actually spark up their doobs. Is nothing sacred?
