Today in Extraordinarily Odd
Greenpeace is running a survey so that the public can vote for their favorite name for a whale and the list is pretty long. It’s full of those island names that always feel foreign to white people in the west like Kigai and Paikea. Like when you go to the zoo the animals are never named things like Stephen or James or Felicity they always get names like Coco or whatever. Anyway, so on the list is also Mr. Splashy Pants which is just great. Although while clearly the name is endearing one thing Greenpeace has overlooked is the fact that whales don’t actually wear pants so …yeah. Nice try.

There’s a new mobile phone service that is about to be launched in the UK called SatLav – an hilarious, unbridled comic spin on SatNav – honestly, I’m still crying…from laughter. Anyway, so, this new device helps you locate a lavatory or TOILET near you wherever you may be through your mobile phone. Who knew finding a toilet in England was such a priority. I mean, I certainly didn’t. Perhaps it’s because after they hold everything in for long periods of time, at a certain point going to the toilet becomes a dire necessity. An emergency of sorts. I would like to think that the device looks sort of like those old fashioned homing devices from Batman the original series where it’s just a beeping red light that gets louder and faster as you get closer. Just to really up the tension and excitement. And direness. Ha. So necessary.

If your wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend is a heavily marinated slab of tuna, being forced to go shopping with them would be a total nightmare. I don’t know because I haven’t ever been forced to go shopping as I always head it off because my tunameter always warns me. Regardless, some people aren’t as adept as avoiding time spent with shrill, materialist, control freak idiots so you know, they have to. Not so in Austria though apparently. I know I buried the lede. Anyway, in Salzburg, Austria there’s an alternative for spouses who don’t want to shop – a tent filled with porn, computer games, newspapers and a bar which has been called Maennerhort. Men hang out in the tent while their wives shop. So, maybe it’s not for bored straight women or gay men but the lesbians could join in. Whatever, it’s just nice that the Austrians are providing an alternative to the exhaustion. Good on them.
