Black Lab Allergic to Humans

An Indianapolis dog's skin condition was found to be associated with an allergy to humans.

After a blood test, veterinarians determined that the dog is allergic to human dandruff, much in the same way that humans can be allergic to dog dander.

Vets suspect that the condition is curable and are treating the dog with allergy serums.

Hopefully life won't be too rough for this pup.

Pot Candy Concerns Denver

Now that marijuana is legal in Colorado, concerns are being raised about the drug being distributed to children through trick-or-treat candy.

Police have released an informational video describing how to tell "pot candy" from regular candy.  They are also advising parents to toss any candy that isn't associated with a major brand.

Police also noted that some recreational sellers will buy cheap candy in bulk and then spray it with hash oil, at which point it is indistinguishable from regular candy.

Halloween's about to be dope.

Coast Guard Rescues Bubble Man

A man was pulled from the ocean by Coast Guard officials after he attempted to float from Florida to Bermuda in a plastic bubble.

The man, an Iranian exile, began suffering from fatigue prior to being rescued.

He had previous accomplished many running feats, including running the perimeter of the United States.

The bubble was made of plastic and aluminum and functioned similarly to a hamster wheel.

Burglar Searches for ISIS

A Mississippi woman claims to have been searching for ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, while burglarizing a series of cars on a Mississippi school property.

The woman, who has a track record of small crimes, was stealing sunglasses from cars when she was caught.

The 41-year-old mother came up short in her terrorist pursuit.

Chef James Thomlinson has created a "human flesh burger" in celebration of the upcoming fifth season of "The Walking Dead."

The burgers are not actually human meat, but Thomlinson paid close attention to the reports on cannibals to craft his burger.

The burger is made of a combination of veal, pork, chicken liver, and bone marrow to create the sweet, mature veal taste that cannibals have described.

I mean, who hasn't wondered why zombies crave us so hard?

New-Mexican Singing Road

In New Mexico, a "singing road" has been constructed in an attempt to get drivers to obey the speed limit.

Rumbling strips built into the road create a melodic tune when driven over, but only if driven over at the appropriate speed.

The hope is that drivers will slow down and enjoy the melody while increasing their safety at the same time.

This road could also aid under-slept drivers who begin to fall asleep at the wheel.

I wonder how much this would cost?
