She’d paint the town red, if she could
It’s been decades since the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but apparently there is still a love of the color red among some who live in parts of the former USSR, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Take Zorica and Zoran Rebernik who live in a red house in the former Red State of Yugoslavia. The Bosnian couple have been wed for nearly 40 years. When they married Zorica wore a red wedding dress. Their home is furnished in various shades of red. Zorica sports a head of red hair, eats from red plates and drinks from red glasses. Mr. and Mrs. Rebernik have even gone so far as to import red granite tombstones from India.
A true fish story
It’s pretty hard to reel in a big fish if your line is not strong enough and it isn’t easy for a youngster even if his line is strong. But don’t tell that to eight year old Jayden Millauro, an Australian boy was out for a day of fishing off the coast of New South Wales with his dad recently, suggests the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Turns out that dad and a few other fishermen on the scene had to hold on to Jayden’s harness as he reeled in the 692-pound tiger shark he hooked. It certainly gives the boy a story he can tell for the rest of his life and it just might be a record setting catch. The official record of the International Game Fish Association’s “small fry” category is a 687 pound tiger shark set in 1997.
Scoop the poop
Most people would agree that there’s nothing more off putting than to come across dog droppings on the sidewalk when you are out for a walk, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. But, the town of Springfield, MO may have found a way to deal with the problem and it’s easier than using a troop of pooper-scoopers. The town put up a variety clever flags reminding pet owners of their civic responsibility when taking their pooch for a walk. They read: Is this your turd? Cuz that’s absurd, this is a nudge to pick up the fudge and Scoop the Poop.
