Sunday Burst of Weird and Awesome

Oddities and Awesome abound!

::  This may be the best news story I will ever read. Seriously. How can it not be, with a lede like this?

In all his years in Brazilian law enforcement, police chief Marconi Almino de Lima had never faced a case like this: a sordid tale of love, jealousy, a contract killer and kitchen condiments.

Seriously, that is just awesome. This story screams out to be used on an episode of CSI Miami. I can even hear the dialog:

"Horatio...is this...ketchup?"

"Yes it is, Frank. And we [puts on sunglasses] are gonna bring the mustard."

::  Ever wonder what the concert posters might have looked like for the Muppets' Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem? Well, wonder no more! These are terrific. (Thanks to SamuraiFrog for pointing these out.)

::  I love Buffalo, but there's now way Buffalo is cool enough to have installed these on the Metro Rail cars.

More next week!
