Greetings fellow Bizarros:

A London bar has installed a video game above its men's room urinals that the game's designer says is the world's first to be controlled by urine flow.

The Exhibit bar in the Balham neighborhood said the 12-inch screens feature games including simulated skiing, fire extinguishing and a trivia challenge.

All of the games, which were developed over three years by designer Gordon MacSween, are controlled by the player aiming his stream of urine. The games give players codes at the end of rounds to allow them to enter their scores at online leader boards.

MacSween said the games have proved a boon for advertisers who have seen sales of their products rise since they were installed as well as helping the bar owners prevent damage to their bathrooms.

"Because people are having a laugh, there's a lot less vandalism -- people tend to get less angry," he said.

I wonder what a similar game for women would involve?

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Firefighters free man from chimney --*
LUBBOCK, Texas - Firefighters in Texas said they rescued a man who became stuck in his chimney after locking his keys inside of his home. Robert Loveless, deputy fire marshal for the Lubbock Fire Department, said the 22-year-old man, whose name was not released, attempted to enter his home through the chimney early Monday while his wife and child waited outside, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported Tuesday. The man became stuck in the flu and his wife called 911 just prior to 1:30 a.m., Loveless said. He said firefighters lowered a rope down the chimney and pulled the man back up to the roof. The deputy chief cautioned against attempting to enter a home through a chimney. "Even if you would fit down the chimney flue, getting pass the damper assembly is -- I can't see anybody getting past that," Loveless said.

*-- Christmas photos come with gun backdrops --*
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - An Arizona gun club is giving families the chance to take Christmas card photos with Santa Claus in front of firearms-themed backdrops. The Scottsdale Gun Club said families can come in during the Santa and Machine Guns event, scheduled for Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and have photos taken with jolly old St. Nick in front of backdrops ranging from an $80,000 Garwood minigun to common pistols, KSAZ-TV, Phoenix, reported Monday. "I think it's going to be all in fun from those who support the second amendment and those who don't. Whether you're a gun advocate or not, you should have a lot of fun with it," gun club member Richard Jones said.

It seems to me that all of the "solutions" to the European debt crisis have to do with Germany taking their good credit rating and using it to allow the other European countries to borrow more money at lower interest rates than their credit rating deserves. Which of course brings us to the obvious question: Isn't borrowing too much money by countries like Greece what got the Euro in trouble in the first place? Isn't more of the same just going to make things a lot worse? -John
[Especially if the "money" takes the form of credit issued by banks, which would just suck even more money out of the economy in the form of interest and move it from the pockets of the 99 percent and into the pockets of the 1 percent. So, lose-lose.]


Swedish police have to create a committee to review weapon handling procedures? Why not just include the following line in their training.... "Ya Sven, be sure da veapon is not loaded before sending it to forensics!"
[You have an uncanny insight into Swedish culture.]


The center's study of 2010 member disclosure reports found that 36 Democrats and 30 Republicans in the Senate reported an average overall worth of more than $1 million. In the House, the same was true of 110 Republicans and 73 Democrats.


It sounds like that thief in Norcross, Georgia WANTED to get caught! Maybe he was homeless and hungry, and hoped he'd get thrown in jail for 3 hots and a cot! â??Susanne
