08:27 AM ET 06.02 | From the stranger-than-fiction file comes the following. Edmonton Oiler Gilbert Brule and his girlfriend picked up an unusual hitchhiker in West Vancouver on Tuesday -- U2 frontman Bono. Brule and girlfriend Kelsey Nichols were driving to a park to walk Bella, their German shepherd, on Tuesday afternoon near the West Vancouver Yacht club when they spotted a couple of hitchhikers on the side of the road. Brule, watching out the window, was sure one of them was Bono. Nichols, who was driving, didn't believe him, because, really, why would Bono be hitchhiking in West Van? ... The couple went on, a short distance anyway, all the while Brule trying to convince Nichols to turn around. Eventually, she agreed. The hitchhikers were still there when they drove up, so they yelled out: "Bono!" He waved and walked over to their truck.

So I guess after investing all their money in that Spiderman fiasco on Broadway Bono and the Edge can't afford rides anymore.

Bono had likely been sampling some of the...shrubbery that Vancouver is known for and got himself a little lost out there, haha.
You guys hear that Amsterdam is amending their laws to make smoking legal for locals only? Seems counter to their tourism trade...
