Missouri/Kansas in the "news" today

The search engine Bing has us--kind of--in the news today.  They're highlighting "Bizarre Museums" in their searches this morning and came up with Leila’s Hair Museum in Independence, Mo. , no surprise, and Kansas Barbed Wire Museum in LaCrosse, Kan.,

What's odd about it, though, is that, unlike Yahoo! News, they don't actually have a real story about any of their links--all they have is these links, above, which go to Bing searches.  It's a new and, granted, rather clever way for them to promote and advertise themselves and get you--us--to use them, by default.  It's kind of clever but it feels smarmy, at least to me.

Anyway, we're--sort of--in the news, as I said, if even for the odd museum that Leila's is. 

It's not ultra-cool like the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum but at least we're mentioned.

Have a great weekend, y'all.
