This isn’t your daddy’s old ice cream…
A new ‘mash Cone’ consisting of sausage, mash potato, gravy and peas in an ice cream cone has been invented. It really doesn’t seem that bad…. just different.

You can call a dead man
Tucked away in a cemetery in Paramus you will find the gravesite and headstone of 60-year-old, former Manhattan attorney John Jacobs, along with something else – his cell phone number.
“I wanted to have a way to remember him,” said Marion Seltzer, John’s wife of 21 years.
And after dialing the number, the phone service is still working.
“Hi, you’ve reached the voice mail of John Jacobs … After you hear the beep leave a message and I’ll return the call,” is the message.
Of course that would be truly amazing … since John’s been gone since 2005.
“That’s a little unusual,” Seltzer said. “It is … but so was my husband.”
Seltzer says the phone on the stone was her idea, that it helps her stay close to John.
When asked if she still calls him, Seltzer said, “I call him now. I do call him. If I’m happy, if I’m sad…
“And I believe there are probably a lot of people who were very close to him who periodically call him.”
Throughout his career as a criminal defense lawyer, the outgoing and larger-than-life Jacobs represented high-profile defendants such as mob boss “Fat Tony” Salerno.
Jacobs’ cell phone constantly rings. It’s inundated with calls, so Seltzer says why stop now?
“He would love this,” she said. “He liked attention.”
Teenager is smallest girl in the world
A teenager from India who stands at a tiny 1ft 11in (58cm) tall is the smallest girl in the world. Jyoti Amge, 14, is shorter than the average two-year-old child and only weighs 11lb (5kg). 
She has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and won’t grow any taller than her current height.
Due to her size, Jyoti has to have clothes and jewellery made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and cutlery to eat, as normal-sized utensils are too big.
Despite this, she goes to a regular school in Nagpur, central India, where she has her own small desk and chair, and her classmates treat her like any other student.
Yes We Have ‘Coon
I ran across a link to this sign (above) which was spotted a the Soulard Farmer’s Market, here in St. Louis. It’s a very interesting place to shop or just visit. I haven’t been there in quite a while.
Anyway, this picture comes from a site called Grocery Eats. It has several stories about places in St. Louis, but also other places around the country. Grocery Eats reviews some strange food and places.
