Canada's New Strange Brew
|
|
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
|
|
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.
