I’m going to refrain from posting stories about Prince Harry’s memoir Spare. It is generally the top international story (after the mess in Washington). Just google it and you’ll see more than you can imagine. If you are interested, one of his many interviews will be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night.
But there are other rather crazy stories. We begin with this, from the Washington Post:
My fiancé’s family won’t let me marry him until I learn French. Hey Carolyn! Long-time fan here. I just can’t believe I’m in a situation that necessitates your help…
I am so in love with my fiancé. He’s by far the best partner I have ever had, and I could never imagine my life without him. However, his family is not nearly that great.
From the BBC:
Charity shops: Sex toys and ashes among more bizarre donations By Nicola Bryan Used sex toys, taxidermy pets, someone's ashes and a teapot full of mouldy tea - these are just some of the bizarre donations charity shops say they have received. With the annual January declutter in full swing following Christmas' influx of toys and general detritus, many households may be thinking of donating to their local charity shop.
From Ars Technica:
Man’s eyes turn bloody, yellow after plunge into pee-filled canal Avoid swimming in canal water brimming with rodent urine. BETH MOLE It was his yellow, bloody eyes that gave his illness away. The previously healthy 18-year-old showed up at an emergency department in the Netherlands after two days of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. His heart was beating rapidly and his abdomen was a bit tender. The whites of his eyes were splotched with blood, a sign that blood vessels on the surface of his eyes had burst. Areas that weren't bloodied were a jaundice yellow. Lab tests would later indicate he had acute kidney injury as well as liver dysfunction. But an equally important clue as to what was causing his acute illness was the mention that three weeks prior he had fallen into a canal.
