Oven bus stop

A Carbious Coffee advert at a Minneapolis bus stop uses real heating elements to broil... Sorry, keep people queuing for the bus warm.

It's clever, but the heating element bit wasn't as much of a stretch of imagination as you might think,  When I was teaching at the University of Minnesota, I noticed that a lot of bus shelters had heating elements installed–not surprising when you might find yourself waiting for the bus at 35 below zero.  I used to walk for blocks looking for one of these because I find hypothermia to be rather uncomfortable.

A tale of a Minnesota community college's "meditation room" morphing into a mosque complete with sex-segregated areas, literature that describes Christians and Jews as "enemies of Allah" and a college administration that refuses to investigate what it would never allow any other religion to do.

"Tolerance" is now synonymous with "cowardice", it seems.
