Offbeat: A “Nude dude ranch” seems like an odd way to use lottery winnings

  • He won $3.3 million – now he lets it all hang out. The CJ Dude Ranch, located in Brooksville, Fla., is facing a bit of controversy for its clothing-optional policy, as well as the fact that they created the ranch without receiving proper permits. But who needs permits when you have a Web site with photos like this? (Don’t worry, it’s safe for work.) And plus, they do have standards – the site says people “must wear pants and boots to ride the horses.” source

  • “Roadie #42” • An anonymous informant, on Coldplay’s latest period in the studio with producer/musical God/guy who created ambient music Brian Eno. Eno is separating Chris Martin from the rest of the band, in an attempt to get them to create wildly different compositions. Martin’s keeping busy by producing another artist. • source
