This first great story submitted by reader Bill Williams, from the Winona, Wisconsin Daily News.

Apparently an repairman in an auto shop found a woman customer had tied up a goat in her trunk.

The goat was painted Minnesota Vikings purple and gold, with #4 shaved in its side. The repairman called animal rescue.

Winona officials are considering filing charges for animal abuse against the woman. No word if they consider the greater offence tying up the goat, or having him in purple and gold with Favre’s number.

Johan Santana will have elbow surgery, which means his season is over. Only a couple months after that of the Mets.

State regulators have launched an investigation of a Southern California day care center after two toddlers were found playing on railroad tracks near the facility.

An investigation? Really? What was their first clue?


Argentina has joined Mexico and Columbia in decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana. Brazil and Ecuador are considering following suit.

Well, this certainly means there wouldn’t be any problem filling rosters on any potential new NBA South America.
