Developers to Demolish Frank Lloyd Wright house

OMG, one of the most iconic architects of the modern generation, Frank Lloyd Wright, would be rolling around in his grave. Seems an Arizona land developer is planning to demolish, yes, you heard me, demolish, one of his great masterpieces. The not so well known spiral concrete house was designed and built by Frank for his son in 1952. It has remained relatively off the radar to most historians because his son didn’t want his home to become a landmark. Now, however,  it will be permanently off the radar if preservationists can’t find someone to buy it off the developers in the next two days.  Hmm, good luck with that.

Want sauce with that?

Raising Arizona

Yes, about that 5 week old baby found strapped in a baby seat in the middle of the road in Arizona. It seems his 19 year old mother had forgotten she had placed him on the roof of her car before driving off. By the time she realized her bub was missing and got her friends to retrace her steps the police were looking for her. She later admitted she had been smoking marijuana.

Anger Management or Cooking Classes?

How hard is it to cook spaghetti?

A man in Arizona was arrested after he chucked spaghetti at his wife. Evidently Isidro Curiel wasn’t at all impressed with what she served up to him so threw the pasta at wifey  before smashing her cell phone. That’s disorderly conduct right there!

Christmas Miracle

Whoops

Nothing can get you out of a 2 month coma faster than the words “live organ donor”. Doctors at a Arizona hospital were just hours from taking Sam Schmid off life support, believing him to be brain dead after a serious car accident and had even discussed putting him on the donor organ list, when he began moving two fingers. Sheez, talk about cutting it close! Now the college student is expected to make a full recovery. Fa lalalalala la la la la.

I Guess You Won’t Be Getting That Job

She showed up at the house to be interviewed for a  personal assistant position and found the body of  man and a woman, with obvious gunshot wounds, dead on the front patio. Police say they are treating the deaths as suspicious!! Hmm, ya don’t say!!!!!! Maybe the previous interview didn’t go so well ?

You Did What?

Read the news much fool? Some guy, who had bought consumer  fireworks, set them off on the Pinnacle Peak hiking trail in Arizona starting a fire. Hello! Arizona just happens to be having the worst wildfires in their history but never you mind mister, as you were!

You Say Condom, I Say Glove

OK, the condom alleged to have been found in a Dynamite Shrimp appetizer at the Cheesecake Factory in Arizona is apparently part of a finger from a vinyl glove. Phew! After lab testing, following the gross find, reports back confirm it was NOT a condom but part of a glove. Scott Turner still wants an apology and some sort of compensation. Of course!

JFK Ambulance Auction

Sheez, if you missed out on the Lee Harvey Oswald coffin auction last month, don’t fret, this month you can try your luck bidding for the ambulance that carried JFK’s body from Andrews Air Force Base to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland after he was assassinated in Dallas. Yes, it’s the one and the same 1963 Pontiac Bonneville ambulance folks and it’s up for auction in Arizona. The ambulance also transported Jackie O, Bobby Kennedy and JFK’s coffin to the US Capitol Building, so you’ll have a lot of talking points.
