Doublewides and Breastmilk...

What more could this valley boy ever want? Err, lots, actually. But its humpday and I'm not feeling too ambitious. Actually, I fly home today for a long, hot, fun-filled weekend in the good old San Juaquin Valley, so maybe my bucolic side is taking over...at any rate, enjoy these tidbits from my favorite alternative news site:

"Nancy Fortson Reynolds, 49, pleaded guilty in May to having embezzled more than $1 million from an Athens, Ga., animal vaccine manufacturer during the five years she handled the company's accounts payable. According to a police detective, Reynolds and her husband spent all of the money on a multitude of consumer products, making only one enduring capital expenditure: constructing an addition onto their double-wide mobile home. [Athens Banner-Herald, 5-28-03"

Tough to beat, I know, the most lavish doublewide in the world, but read on:

"In a 2002 story, News of the Weird mentioned Cuba's Guinness-Book-record milk-producing cow, Ubre Blanca. In April 2003, a German newspaper profiled Susan Schulze, 31, of Leipzig, who the paper said was the country's most prolific milk-producing human, having provided 50 gallons of her breast milk (collected in four to six daily sessions for more than a year) to a children's clinic at the University of Magdeburg. [Daily Telegraph (London), 4-13-03]"

Two words: got milk?

I'm suddenly thirsty for some 2%...
