Wade Lind, director at Sunset Hills Cemetery and Funeral Home, said he designed the three-wheeled "hearse" himself and has already bicycled five bodies in a bamboo casket. Lind has priced the ride and the casket -- which looks like a basket -- at about $3,500.

It was so fun hanging out on main street Saturday! Love all the food, the crafts, the food...

STUDENT ACCUSED OF FAKING KIDNAPPING TO AVOID TELLING PARENTS ABOUT FAILING GRADES:

A student who was failing his English class at Georgia Gwinnett College faked his own kidnapping because he didn't want to tell his parents about bad grade.

 19-year-old Aftab Aslam reportedly bought a cellphone and texted his parents that he was kidnapped on April 27th. For a week, he camped out somewhere in Forsyth County but when the weather got rainy he went home. 

Now he's really in trouble:  he's has been charged with making a false report, false statements, tampering with evidence and terroristic threats.

COLOR OF BEDROOM AFFECTS SLEEP QUALITY:

A new study finds that the color of your bedroom matters when it comes to sleep quality.

The research was done by Travelodge, and found that those who sleep in rooms colored yellow, blue, or green get the best night's sleep.

 The hotel chain investigated two-thousand homes across the UK to find out which colors were equated with great sleep. Those who slept in bedrooms colored purple were found to sleep the worst. Study authors say this may happens because purple is a very mentally stimulating color. Other bad-sleep colors included gray and brown. One sleep expert says, "This is an amazing result, as there are specialized receptors called ganglion cells in the retina part of our eyes, which are more sensitive to the color blue." He explains the ganglion cells feed information to the brain in the area that controls our internal clocks and affects how we perform and feel during the day. (Daily Mail)

MOST SWIMMING POOLS ARE CONTAMINATED BY POOP!

New scientific research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that more pools are contaminated with poop.

Scientists they found the genetic material from E. coli bacteria in 58-percent of public pools they tested during the summer of 2012.

Researchers say the fecal material in pools comes from swimmers not showering before getting into the water, and from incidents of defecation in pools.

Michele Hlavsa, chief of the CDCs Healthy Swimming Program says, "Chlorine and other disinfectants don't kill germs instantly. It's important that swimmers shower before getting in a pool, not swallow the water they swim in, and avoid swimming if they have diarrhea."

I think I'm staying dry this summer.
