Shiver me timbers


Posted at 12:32 pm by Katie Mayer, Herald staff

The Halloween spirit has possessed a Mukilteo man, whose yard features an elaborate display of spooky skeleton pirates. But if he really wanted to scare people, all he'd have to do is hang up a giant chart showing how much the stock market has fallen in the past few weeks.

Speaking of spooky things, a strange pink glow recently appeared in the sky over London. Using highly technical terminology, a spokesman for the meteorological office said the glow was probably just "odd 'splodges' of low cloud" reflecting light from the city. From this, we infer that meteorologists in Britain make forecasts for heaps of rain using complicated doohickies.

Up, up and away: Starting Friday, a California company plans to offer rides around the San Francisco Bay area in a brand-new zeppelin. The airship's operator says the zeppelin offers a unique, leisurely way to see the sights from the air. At $495 per person for a one-hour tour, it's also a way to make your wallet so light that it will float, too.
