Ma Deqi, a farmer from Yuzhou, China, can catch 40 ping-pong balls- with a pair of chopsticks- in one minute. In the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, about 15,000 bicycles are pulled out of waterways each year- the city even employs bike fishermen! Yum!! During surgery at Good Shepherd Veterinary Hospital in Mars, Pennsylvania, 62 hair bands, eight pairs of underwear and a bandage were recently discovered in the stomach of Tiki, a black Labrador retriever.

I guess that Amsterdam just doesn’t get the hint, that someone doesn’t want bicycles there.

I’m more inclined to think the bicycles were dumped by thieves (or owners) who did not want them anymore.
Plus, did Tiki’s owner — who I assume to be female — not notice something unusual was happening when her hairbands kept disappearing?

Amsterdam is one of the most bike friendly cities in the world. They say nearly half a million residents use bikes daily to commute. And that tourists can rent bikes. Combine that with 60 miles of canals within the city limits. Most of which only have a little curb at the edge and I can see how that many bikes fall in.

I had a stray young pup come around and I fed him alright,but he insisted on biting the PVC drain piping under the DW house trailer, which I have yet to crawl underneath to repair. I use a 5 gal bucket and use the water to flush the toilet.I think that the EPA must have dumped him off?
