Two awesome things included on some NPR shows I listened to today- 1st is from Wait, Wait- talking about a new dating website for those who love the open water. Primarily- this is to help you find the Sea Captain of your dreams...hilarious...

Second, is a shout out to Tufts veterinary school on Car Talk- primarily to the wildlife center- which I thought was pretty awesome! Some guy with bats in his garage who called Click and Clack to see if he could 'smoke them out' by leaving the cars running for a while in the garage. Smartly, the Tappet brothers declined to approve such actions and recommended contacting the local animal department or our wildlife center. Wonder if the guy ended up calling??!
On another note, and something I think will end up on NPR soon- Hawaii has decided to offer those who doubt our President's US birth/nationality a chance to buy a copy of the original birth documents from the state. Each copy will cost $100, so better make sure you doubt a lot to cough that up! The good news is that Hawaii could use the funds to offset the debt from some of their other decisions- such as spending about 3/4 million to rebuild a long stairway along a popular hike on the island, then deciding not to open the stairway back to the public since they don't want to be sued for anyone getting hurt on the hike. Instead, they pay a guard to sit at the bottom of the stairway and turn hikers away from 8-5 every day. Presumably those who hike outside of the 8-5 hours are less likely to sue?
