Who's the fool

Today's a good day to take bizarre news with a grain of salt. For example, here's a little gem that was sent my way. I admit I was taking it in at first, but something just didn't seem quite right. Then I got to this part:

But another genetics expert, Dr. Jack Russell, questioned how successful the program will be.
"Quite frankly, this whole scheme stinks to high heaven," he said.

Not to mention the $500 fine for the first offence. Wow. They're really into protecting shoes in Edmonton, aren't they? Oh, and the number at the bottom of the story... plugging it into a search engine reveals that it's the number to the paper.

You know what this means? Tomorrow I'll have to check the Edmonton Sun's page and see if they share the joke and let us know how many readers called the 'city.' I doubt it'll be up there with BBC's spaghetti crop, but it's got to be worth some laughs in the morning.
