For the folks that live in the area, you know that our Fox affiliate has a segment called “Viewers Voice.” The station provides a phone number that you can call and comment on anything. We’ve been teasing each other for a while about calling in and trying to make the air about something, when this Saturday we noticed a type-o on the screen. WifeGeeding got the courage to call in, but just couldn’t stay in her Hill-Billy wife character.

In 1994, nearly 200 judges from the Canadian and U.S. Kennel Clubs were asked to complete a questionaire about the characteristics of various dog breeds, most notably the intelligence level of these breeds. The intelligence ratings were based on how many repetitions it took for a certain breed to master a new command. The breeds on our list took at least 80 repetitions (or more) to learn a new command, and tended to obey first commands less than 25 per cent of the time.

A digital camera inside a parcel looks out through a small hole and captures images of its journey through the postal system.  The Spy Box was sent from my studio to the gallery taking an image every 10 seconds recording a total of 6994 images these were then edited together to create an animated slideshow.

A local family had a disturbing discovery at its dinner table Wednesday night.

Earl Hartman, of South Philadelphia, said it started at a Pathmark supermarket store with a can of green beans and ended in his kitchen.

“I’ll never eat green beans again, I’ll tell you that,” Hartman said.

Hartman said he found it between the chicken breast and buttered noodles he was serving for dinner Wednesday night and that it came out of the green beans can.

“When I sat down, I noticed something didn’t look right. It didn’t loot like a green bean,” he said.

Hartman said he called the Pathmark where he bought the beans and Thursday received a call from Seneca Foods in upstate New York, where the vegetables were canned.

“The company said that they have an automated sorting and sometimes things like this happen. I asked about the rest of the body and he told me that it was probably kicked out by the sorter, but they’re not sure,” he said.

Hartman said he doesn’t intend to sue and said that Seneca Foods told him it is sending him some sort of container to ship the snakehead back to them so they can investigate.
