During a traffic stop, Wyoming police came across a bag of whitish powder they initially suspected to be "poor quality cocaine or methamphetamine." It actually turned out to be something else completely:
"After scrutinizing the powdery substance, questioning the two vehicle occupants and checking with the vehicle owner," who was not in the car, "it turned out that the small Baggie contained the cremated ashes of the vehicle owner’s grandmother."
The vehicle’s owner told police that she was "very close" to her deceased grandma and "she always keeps her nearby in the console," the release said.
State police said storing ashes in bags inside a car console is unusual, but not criminal. "It’s a little different, you don’t come across it everyday," said Sgt. Stephen Townsend.

Well, she is 101 years old, so technically, grandma is old enough to get a tattoo:
Mimi Rosenthal, 101, pushed her Winnie Walker off to the side and sat back in the black leather chair. At 4 feet, 10 inches, her feet didn’t quite rest on the floor. And for her third tattoo, she wanted to be comfortable.
"Let’s find something for your feet," said tattoo artist Michelle Gallo-Kohlas, a longtime family friend entrusted with the honor of inking Rosenthal’s arm.
Several teenage girls’ voices traveled down the hall Saturday afternoon from the waiting room of Requiem Body Art, an upscale piercing and tattoo shop.
"Is she getting a tattoo?"
"Are you serious?"
"That is soooo cool!"

Okay, okay – Neatorama is rated PG, so I won’t show it here, but this video clip by YouTube user youkilledkenny is just too funny not to share.
In the clip, kenny shares with us his travails in trying to teach his Chinese grandma some um, choice words of English. Kenny, you’re going straight to hell (and I’m probably following for showing you guys the link).
It’s surely mean and adolescent humor, but I can’t stop laughing. I Have Seen the Whole Internet blog has the clip: Link [NSFW words, obviously] | The Sequel, this time with his little cousin, if once is not enough.

A South Korean grandma has failed her driving test 771 times, reports a local newspaper:
The 68-year-old, identified only by her last name Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 in the southwestern city of Jeonju. She failed again Monday for the 771st time.
“It was a record-breaking number here,” Choi Yong-Cheol, a police sergeant supervising the test in the city’s Deokjingu district, told AFP.
“I wonder if she will try it again for a 772nd time.”
The Korea Times said Cha will in fact be back for another attempt.
Choi said that Cha cannot pass the preliminary written section of the test, averaging scores of 30-50 whereas the pass mark is 60 out of 100.
