A Night with WNDU

I wanted to share with you this article:

Body lost in Michigan landfill will remain there

It looks like a body that was lost in a Michigan landfill will remain there. Trash haulers mistakenly took the body Friday morning from a storage area at a funeral home in nearby Holland, Michigan. They picked up the body while they were collecting medical waste. Search teams sifted through tons of trash in the landfill for two days, but found nothing. The 66-year-old Holland man's children told crews to stop looking for the body, citing the risk of health and safety for the searchers. Environmental officials have agreed to honor the family's request.

I shudder at the thought of that happening to a loved one. Although on the surface, this seems kind of funny, it must be a nightmare for this guy’s family. I’d like to know more, but then maybe it’s just something that I’d be better off not knowing.

Steve Carell was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. During the interview, he had mentioned something about the Second City. Can anyone tell me where the Second City is? Give you a hint—it’s the same as the Windy City. Chicago? Correct! Chicago is also known as the Second City. I only bring this up because it has been years since I have heard Chicago referred to by that old nickname. More common nowadays would be the Windy City, or perhaps Chi-town. Chicagoland? Well, that’s the city plus the surrounding areas, so I wouldn’t count that. But yes, Chicago was once called the Second City because it used to rank bellow New York City in terms of population. It’s not anymore because of Los Angeles. Wait a sec—does my remembering Chicago as the Second City make me old?
