Sunday Oddities

France is losing its cheese. To be now known as home of “unwashed surrender monkeys”.

In an attempt to alert the nation to the gradual disappearance of its splendid and varied cheese heritage, hundreds of events were held across France to celebrate National Cheese Day.

“In the past 30 years, more than 50 varieties of French cheese have disappeared for ever. Other types are down to their last two or three traditional producers,” said Véronique Richez-Lerouge, head of the association which promotes traditional French cheeses. “The share of the market taken by industrial, pasteurised cheeses, which are actually fake cheeses, with a fraction of the true taste and character, is growing all the time.”

Your “Village Idiot” lives in Indiana. Annual winner of award was really trying hard.

The competition was fierce and foolish, but a man who accidentally sawed through a live wire and topped that by wrecking his truck hours after buying it more than earned the honorary title “Village Idiot.”

Mark Carmichael’s blunders won him the good-natured award that’s been handed out for years in the tiny Brown County town of Story. The winner is whoever gets the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn’s saloon.

Carmichael, the inn’s maintenance man, won in part for an incident in which he cut through a live wire while using a circular saw to replace the inn’s galvanized steel roof. But he also damaged his just-purchased 1998 Dodge truck — the day after he got it — by getting it stuck atop a whiskey barrel planter outside the inn.

His foolishness earned the 27-year-old a $100 bar tab at the Story Still.

Bogus Windows Update coming to your e-mail box soon. All stupid people are encouraged to go ahead and get infected.

An e-mail scam making its way around the Internet purports to be a message from Microsoft warning users of the Windows operating system that they need to download a security update—only to leave their PC infected.

Once users link from the e-mail to a bogus Web site their computers will be infected by a “Trojan horse” program that allows hackers to control their personal computers, anti-virus software maker Sophos said Friday.

The campaign of bogus e-mails could be timed for around the same time as Microsoft’s latest regularly scheduled security update, planned for Tuesday.



Your illegal organ trading story for the day comes from Romania.

A Romanian thief has been charged with organ smuggling after a routine prison check revealed he was missing a kidney.

Robert Mihaly, 30, from Cluj, is the first Romanian to be charged in the country with illegal trading in organs.

Police started investigating when they were told of the discovery following the check at Gherla prison.

■ Finally, in Korea they’re having a fashion show for big women to protest a diet and plastic surgery operation boom in that country. Yep, I likes dem big women, Uh-huh!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
