The body of a 75-year-old LA area man who died Monday sat decomposing on his balcony for four days because his neighbors figured the corpse was part of a Halloween display. He died of a single gunshot wound to the eye. Neighbors on the 13900 block of Bora Bora Way told Raishbrook that they noticed the body Monday "but didn't bother calling authorities because it looked like a Halloween dummy," he said. "The body was in plain view of the entire apartment complex [and] they all didn't do anything," Raishbrook said. "It's very strange. It did look unreal, to be honest." Dead man slumped on balcony mistaken for Halloween decoration (LA Times)...

I subscribe to a number of random photography blogs, and Mostly Forbidden Zone has just become one of my favorites. I like this photo of Michael Jackson getting his makeup applied for his role as the Scarecrow in 1978's The Wiz. Mostly Forbidden Zone. (Via Eye of the Goof)...

A medical marijuana dispensary in Denver is taking a fun new approach to distributing pot — it's marketing itself as a restaurant. Called Ganja Gourmet, it has a full menu of international dishes — lasagna, pizza, paella, jambalaya — made with medical marijuana. The waiters are all dressed in tie-dye and they offer free rides home to people who are too high to drive after their meals....

My favorite amateur sociologist Rob Cockerham printed up a bunch of price stickers for absurd products and sent them to his team of assistants around the country, who attached them to shelves in Costco stores. One assistant's field notes: It was a mad house today with all the snooty rich people fighting over free samples, but that was to my favor. Everyone was so busy, that it was a piece of cake. The only hard part was the Polo Assless Chaps, since our Costco hangs the prices above the items. But nonetheless, I found a display right next to the main aisle of the clothing to place it. It should be seen very easily. The Canine Pacemaker Kit was placed right with the dog toys and dog biscuits. The Costco Prank...
