Everyone has an opinion on politics these days, including animals.  For the past 15 years, the town of Talkeetna, Alaska has been run by Mayor Stubbs who happens to be a cat….

The strong arm of the law is far-reaching, albeit can be quite strange at times.  Here are some of the more unique laws in place.

Cripple Creek, Colorado: It is illegal to bring your horse or pack mule above the ground floor of any building.

Alabama:  bear wrestling matches are prohibited.

Fairbanks, Alaska: It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.

Arizona: hunting camels is prohibited

Cathedral City, California: It is prohibited to sleep in a parked vehicle

Funerals are never an enjoyable experience, but now you can give your mourners one last show.  For a cool $4,000.00 you can have your cremated remains turned into a professional fireworks display.  Why not go out with a bang and leave one hell of a lasting memory??

“Each of our services is built around a beautifully choreographed fireworks display. Using proprietary technology, the cremated remains are loaded into specially modified fireworks shells by our  licensed and highly trained staff.  Fired into the sky as a part of the service, the cremains are scattered within the brilliant colors and patterns of the fireworks display. The service will include over 200 fireworks shells.”
