I swear, there is no shortage of weird news in this town. In reverse order of weirdness:
- Boston’s first case of West Nile Virus has been reported. The victim will be OK. (Universal Hub)
- Aijalon Gomes is home from North Korea. (Globe)
- A man on a scooter died after colliding with a car near BC. Sad. (BPD)
- Mayor Menino christened the city’s free-range chicken farm. (Mayor’s Office)
- A prankster fashioned a fake shark fin out of Styrofoam and duct tape, prompting people near Somerset to call 911 and report a shark sighting. (Fall River Herald News via Bostonist)
- A Holyoke man was arrested for a kilogram of cocaine found hidden in bologna. (AP)
Hubbub prefers links to news organizations and bloggers that break stories. Let me know if someone else had a story first (or better).
