Japanese Poop Steaks

diving right back into the odd news of the world that the internet has to offer, i find that japanese researchers have figured out a way to turn human feces into edible steaks.  huh!? 

 

So, for those still following along, here's what we have:  

 

Japanese Research + Human Feces = Steaks (allegedly suitable for eating)

Give to Goodwill, Yes or No?

There are many things that can be donated to Goodwill:

or maybe these:

but certainly NOT this:

Apparently in the town of Fenton, Michigan, an urn full of ashes appeared at the local Goodwill.  The box it was in was labeled, appropriately (or inappropriately) "Grandma's Urn". Ten inches tall and weighing 10 pounds (that's a shit-ton of ashes), Goodwill Manager Allen Ryckman (not the actor playing Severus Snape in Harry Potter) says it is the #1 or #2 weirdest item ever received.

So remember, when selecting items to donate to Goodwill, make sure you don't give granny's remains away.
