It’s not quite a Bag of Randomness, but I have a new post on the Southwest Airlines blog, Nuts About Southwest.
In case you are keeping count, it’s my third post on their blog.

Ezekiel 23:20
It turns out if BibleGateway.com (an online Bible) detects a lot of activity towards a certain verse and translation, then it will cease to display the Bible verse.

But here is the NIV translation of the verse:
Ezekiel 23:20 (New International Version)
20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses

Whole Chicken in a Can
Tracy from I Hate My Message Board is a very, very brave woman. You see, not only did she purchase one of Sweet Sue’s Canned Whole Chickens, but she actually cooked it… and ate some of it. And luckily for all of us less brave souls, she photographed the entire process.

Accidental Donation
Just as it was set to go to trial Thursday, Paso Robles animal sanctuary group Zoo to You reached an out-of-court settlement in a lawsuit over a large debt owed to a donor for more than seven years.
North County couple Tom and Marguerite Nunn sued the nonprofit corporation — known also as Conservation Ambassadors — seeking payback for what they said was an accidental donation of $93,447.
They had asked Zoo to You President David Jackson to return the donation they made in September 2001.
The Nunns, who say they love Zoo to You’s educational mission, meant to send $130.
But Marguerite Nunn said her computer accidentally put her ZIP code in the spot where the dollar amount was supposed to be, causing a check for the much larger amount to be mailed.

Frozen Baby Wooly Mammoth
A near-perfect frozen mammoth resurfaces after 40,000 years, bearing clues to a great vanished species.
I didn’t spend much time reading the article, but I was really impressed with the pictures in this photo gallery.

Collision at Home Plate
I think the funniest part is right after the collision where someone says, “That happened yesterday, too.”
And that poor catcher, he didn’t know what to do or who to help first.

Spiritual But Not Religious
“Spiritual But Not Religious” describes a new worldview that is inclusive and open as opposed to separatist and closed. SBNR people desire a deep experience of life, including the mysteries of life, without the limitations and baggage of doctrine and religion.

Christ seen in Irvine living room?
Judith Ellen and Judith Lynn “Judy” Lanier, mother and daughter, have handed out hundreds of photographs of a plum-colored armchair in their Irvine living room. On the backrest, they perceive something holy, something they can’t keep to themselves: the face of an open-eyed, resurrected Jesus Christ.
“Everybody has a purpose,” said the elder Judith, 79, “and I truly believe this has been the purpose for our lives.”
OK, I don’t see Jesus in the chair, but when I was viewing the slideshow section of this article, I was just struck by the picture of her dog.

Snack Attack: Frito-Lay vs. Crackerjack
What’s in a name? Take “crackerjack.” The word has been a compliment, the nickname for a navy uniform, a snack, even a model of bicycle helmet. And now it’s setting a local athlete against one of the world’s biggest food companies.
On one side is Colleen Bell, who competes in Austin’s Texas Rollergirls flat-track Roller Derby league under the skate name Crackerjack. On the other is Frito-Lay North America Inc., the Plano-based subsidiary of PepsiCo that produces the snack Cracker Jack. Frito-Lay claims that “Crackerjack” is too much like “Cracker Jack.” But Bell argues there are big differences between the two, and it’s not just that her tattoos are permanent.
