This was an interesting read. It was not a mind consuming read. But was good for a little something different.

This is basically a compendium of unusual and odd news stories from around the world. Consistency in the humor factor varies: some are so-so, and some are very funny. Makes for light easy reading you can pick up, drop, and pick up again.

Entertaining....another "plumbing library" book.
