Oddity-is-where-you-find-it Dept:
Police responding to a report of a mutilated body with a severed head this afternoon were left wondering how the carcass of an ungulate ended up on the roof of a Midtown office building.
The carcass consisted of a severed spinal column and some ribs that likely belonged to a moose, police Lt. Dave Parker said.
People can be strange, sometimes.

Put-that-thing-away Dept:
Levi Johnston is going for the ultimate exposure -- his bare body.
The 19-year-old father of Sarah Palin's grandchild will pose nude for Playgirl, his attorney said Wednesday. To get ready for his close-up, Johnston is training three hours a day, six nights a week at an Anchorage gym with a local body builder.
A formal agreement hasn't been reached with the online magazine, but the photo shoot is a "foregone conclusion," said Johnston's attorney, Rex Butler.
The sad part is, our local rag titled this a "Palin" story. My opinion: Mr. Johnston is a sad, little man who is desperately seeking significance, as he tries to recapture his fleeting minute of fame. The fringe media's seeming obsession with him is in an attempt to marginalize Sarah Palin. And what a legacy he's building for himself - high-school dropout, a failed North Slope apprenticeship, and now nude photography.
Hey, Levi: you were never famous. Only Sarah was ... and is.

Honesty-is-its-own-reward Dept:
Anchorage police may have stumbled upon the most honest person in Anchorage Tuesday. Leslie Lorentzen walked into the restroom at the Midtown Barnes and Noble Booksellers about 10 a.m. and found a bank envelope stuffed with $3,978, according to police. Police said she called them right away and turned the cash over -- all of it.

The way of the wild, huh... contrasting your last post with this one, there seems to be an equal danger of run-ins with natural "beasts" AND plain old human idiocy in Alaska... maybe you guys aren't all that different in the way up north!?!
For better or worse, Anchorage is the least "Alaskan" city up here. There are so many transplants from the Left Coast that much of the frontier flavor is gone.
On the other hand, the best thing about Anchorage is that it's only a half-hour from Alaska.
For Pete's sake!
