Weekly Review 10/28/06

A little late, but...

• NASA is working on better smoke detectors for spacecrafts. They’re also revising the “meet at the neighbor’s mailbox” exit plan.
  
  
• The cremated remains of Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett were given to his children. Except for a few ashes stuck to the finger of Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers.
  
  
• Headline: Movement seen at North Korea Nuclear Test Site. Yah, a bowel movement.
  
  
• A Viennese man cut off his ring finger and presented it, still holding the wedding band, to his ex-wife after a nasty divorce. He is charged with dangerous harassment and impersonating a shop teacher.
  
  
• Federal agents confiscated a stuffed gull on the wall of a Maine restaurant because the bird is on the endangered species list. Across town, owners of the Wooly Mammoth Diner had no comment.
