Seattle’s five problem-plagued public toilets could be yours if you’re price is right.
City officials decided to pull the plug on the multi million dollar self-cleaning toilet stalls and instead put them on the auction site eBay. Bids start at $89,000 apiece.

Neighbors and city-commissioned analysts said the unisex facilities attracted drug users and prostitutes, and were less cost-effective than regular public restrooms. On May 19 of this year, the City Council voted to remove the toilets. Council President Richard Conlin said although people were using the high-tech, self-cleaning silver stalls, they also fostered illegal behavior, such as prostitution and drug use.

The German-made automatic, high-tech toilets were installed in 2004 and have cost the city about $5 million. Each has hands free washing and drying ability and an emergency button that automatically dials 911. The automated doors on the impact- and graffiti-resistant toilets will close Aug. 1, The auction will last for 10 days.

As of Thursday morning, none of the toilets had received any bids.

Members of a family from Burbank, Ill., say they went to a funeral home to view their 91-year-old grandmother’s body but found another woman’s body in her casket.

Much to their dismay, Grogan’s relatives say that the stranger was even wearing her dress and favorite bracelet Monday at Mount Auburn Funeral Home.

Grogan had been mistakenly buried. Her family got a court order Tuesday to have her body exhumed for reburial.

Granddaughter Michele Grogan of Burbank calls it “the worst day of all of our lives.”

Service Corporation International of Houston, owner of the funeral home, is working to resolve the issue to both families’ satisfaction, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

What was this guy thinking? Gasoline is flammable, idiots!

An 18-year-old Plymouth, Wisconsin man whose bad dancing at a city festival attracted the attention of authorities was charged Monday with two drug-related misdemeanors. Jeffery G. Holm Jr. address unknown, could face up to seven months in jail if convicted of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the police report:
A security officer at a Hispanic Fest pointed out Holm to patrolling Sheboygan police officers after observing strange dancing that led him to believe the man was under the influence of some sort of illegal substance.

Holm began to back away as officers approached him on the dance floor, and twice reached for his right pocket. Police — who noted Holm smelled strongly of marijuana — searched Holm and found 2.6 grams of marijuana as well as a glass pipe and a marijuana cigar.

A Canadian woman was killed after stepping barefoot on several caterpillars last year, this case was published by doctors in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

The unfortunate 22-year old woman from Alberta Canada died 10 days after stepping on five caterpillars while on an adventure trip to Peru.

The woman had sudden pain in her right foot, which spread to her thigh, and later developed a bad headache. The pain in her leg was worse when she walked on it.

The symptoms disappeared in about 12 hours so she didn’t go to the ER while in Peru, the case study said.

When she came back to Canada she was treated at the University of Alberta hospital for lots of bruising on her legs.

Doctors soon discovered that the symptoms were linked to a venomous caterpillar whose effects can lead to wide spread systemic bleeding.

Arrangements were made to get a South American anti-venom treatment to Canada, but it took too long (48 hours) to get it, and by that time it was too late for the young woman who died from multi organ failure three days after being put in the hospital.
