Nascent Drama

Reuters Photo: Candy shop owner Jose Martinez shows an official Spanish 1 Euro coin with the face...
 
A one euro coin has turned up in Spain bearing the face of cartoon couch potato Homer Simpson instead of that of the country's king, a sweetshop owner told Reuters on Friday.
 
Jose Martinez was counting the cash in his till in the city of Aviles, northern Spain, when he came across the coin where Homer's bald head, big eyes and big nose had replaced the serious features of King Juan Carlos.
 
"The coin must have been done by a professional, the work is impressive," he told Reuters.
 
The comical carver had not taken his tools to the other side of the coin displaying the map of Europe. So far, no other coins of the hapless, beer-swilling oaf have been found in circulation.
 
"I've been offered 20 euros for it," said Martinez.
 
Police say there's been an alarming rise in urine-filled plastic containers found along a three-mile stretch of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon.
 
A litter crew for the Oregon Department of Transportation picked up an estimated 200-300 urine filled plastic bottles, along the highway, about half of which were found in a short stretch dubbed "Three Mile Hill."
 
Police say that drivers — particularly commercial trucks — are typically driving very slowly through the area.
 
Police think the price of fuel may be causing drivers to travel slower than normal to save fuel while at the same time passing rest areas or truck stops.
 
Under Oregon law, improperly disposing of human waste is a misdemeanor which can carry a fine of up to $250.
