A reflective piece on Islamic dietary rules noting the Koran bans wine but not spirits unknown at the text era. It cites a Persian border observer and an American Mercury quote describing how some Muslims ritualize the first drop of wine and proceed to drink the rest, illustrating casuistic behavior.
Sam Dumm of Slippery Slap recalls a tale from a county seat shopping trip. A group chased wild turkeys and, while one town man crawled through brush dragging his gun muzzle first, the weapon did not fire because it was not loaded. The humor comes from the man’s lack of readiness rather than danger.
A 64 year old New York man was struck by a delivery truck while walking home with a bedspring he had just bought. The spring absorbed impact, but the man fell, the truck ran over him, and the spring fell on him. He suffered only minor bruises and, after General hospital treatment, walked home with his spring.

A Chicago Journal item cites historic cases of humans with cud chewing, starting with Robert Gill of Dorsetshire, noted in the British Annual Register for October 1, 1767.

Historic London church St Michael’s, rebuilt after extensive renovations, stands among the city’s oldest. It sits on the Dick Whittington site with his tomb gone after the fire.
