Woman accused of serving pot-laced cake to guest October 10, 2008
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. --West Hartford police said they charged a 51-year-old woman with assault, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence after she allegedly served a marijuana-tainted ginger cake to her real estate agent.
Authorities said the 28-year-old man called 911 shortly after leaving her home Thursday, saying he felt sick. He was treated at a local hospital and released.
Medics initially thought he was allergic to the ginger cake. But police said they later determined the woman told someone else she had laced it with marijuana.
Police have ordered tests on the dessert.
The woman scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Hartford Superior Court. Information was not immediately available on whether she had an attorney.
OK, SO I KNOW OUT THERE THERE ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF IDIOTS..WE ARE ALL AGREED, RIGHT? SO MEET THE SECOND MOST IDIOTIC MAN ON THE PLANET...
Authorities say man skipped jury duty to drink October 7, 2008
JACKSON, Mo. --Curtis Lemons was supposed to report for jury duty in a drunk driving case. Instead, according to authorities, the 50-year-old Cape Girardeau man skipped the jury duty so he could drink himself.
Lemons received a summons to appear as a prospective juror in the case. When he didn't show up on Monday, a bailiff called his house. Lemons told the bailiff he was too busy to come to court.
Associate Circuit Judge Scott Thomsen instructed officers to bring Lemons to the courthouse. Deputies say they detected a strong odor of alcohol on him. Lemons was held in custody while the DWI trial went on.
Authorities say Lemons told the judge he had been drinking rum in the morning. Thomsen found Lemons in contempt of court and fined him $250.

'Bra Bandit' strikes again in southwest Florida October 6, 2008
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. --There's a bra bandit on the loose in southwest Florida. The Lee County Sheriff's Office was searching for an individual they say stole 160 bras valued at nearly $6,000 on Thursday from a Victoria Secret store, the latest in a string of bra burglaries in the area.
Since February, authorities say 452 bras valued at nearly $19,000 have been stolen from two of the chain's southwest Florida locations. Six different bra thefts at the stores have been reported during that time.
Investigators said a female customer walked into the store Thursday and immediately went to a four-drawer cabinet with new bras of the PINK brand name. The store manager told deputies the woman waited until employees were busy helping customers and then thrust the bras into a bag and exited the store.

SYDNEY (AFP) - A pig the size of a Shetland pony has trapped an Australian woman in her village home, the national broadcaster reported Tuesday.
Caroline Hayes, 63, has tried leave her house in Uki in northern New South Wales to use the outdoor toilet but says the animal has bitten her and shoved her back inside.
"It's a beautiful male pig but he's just so big and so pushy," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Rangers from the local Murwillumbah Council tried to rescue her but could not capture the huge animal.
"The rangers came out to my house yesterday with a dog cage and this pig is that big, it's like trying to put an elephant in a dog cage," she said.
"They tried for a little while and they couldn't do it. They got him halfway in and he just backed off and went back to my dam, where he was having a lovely time in the water."
Hayes said she and her neighbours began feeding the pig, whom they named Bruce, when it showed up at their homes 10 days ago after its owners could not handle it and let it loose in the rainforest.
But it became aggressive, demanding more food and biting her on the leg when she tried to go to the toilet.
"It started getting very pushy, started pushing me around, so I started to get a bit frightened, until the stage that it started knocking on my door at four o'clock in the morning, actually head-butting my door," she said.
"This morning, I wanted to go to my toilet, which is outside. I opened up the door and the pig pushed me that hard, it pushed me back into my room, where I fell over," she said.
"I picked up a broom and poked him out with it and he snapped it in half with his mouth."
The rangers were due to try to capture the pig again Tuesday, ABC said.
OK TRAVELLERS...BUCKLE UP, IT ONLY GETS WEIRDER FROM THIS POINT ON!......
A courtroom observing a French murder trial could be excused for thinking the presiding judge has gone barking mad.
In what is believed to be a world first, the investigating magistrate has invited a dog to take the stand as a witness.
Scooby will give evidence as he is believed to have been with his 59-year-old owner when she was found hanging from the ceiling of her Paris flat.
Police believe the death was suicide, but her family cry murder - and the only witness to see the alleged crime is on four legs.
It is hoped Scooby can collar the potential perpetrator, having already played a leading role during a preliminary court hearing in Nanteree, a Paris suburb.
He is said to have hounded a suspect, "barking furiously" after being taken out of the kennel and into the witness box by a vet.
French judge Thomas Cassuto praised the mongrel for his "exemplary behaviour and invaluable assistance".
But lawyers barked back - insisting the bizarre spectacle "proved nothing".
One said: "Human evidence is unreliable enough, let alone canine evidence.
"Besides, the victim died two and half years ago, which is seventeen dog years! How is the animal supposed to remember that far back?"
A spokesman for the Palais de Justice in Paris confirmed that the appearance was the first time a dog had appeared as a witness in criminal proceedings in France.
He said: "It was a preliminary hearing. The judge will now decide if there is enough evidence to go to trial."
SEE WHAT BEING OUT IN THE BLACK DOES TO YOU? IT MAKES YOU ALL BIBBLETY....
PONDERISMS The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. Never take life seriously; nobody gets out alive anyway. There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. Life is sexually transmitted. Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. Health nuts are going to feel stupid, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFO's like they used to? Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?' Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt.' Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
TRUE, FAIR TRAVELLERS, I HAVE BEEN BUSY OF LATE...AND THE REASON ITSELF IS EASY TO EXPLAIN...SO I DO SO WITH A LITTLE NUMBER I LIKE TO CALL: I WAS MAKING VIDEO'S SO JUST LUMP IT! lolololololol...HERE, CHECK THEM OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK. INTO THE FAIRY WOODS
I SELDOM GET INVOLVED IN THESE KINDS OF THINGS....BUT DURING THE LAST REPUBLICAN CONVENTION CERTAIN STATEMENTS WERE MADE, AND I FEEL ITS MY DUTY TO CLEAR THE AIR HERE...NO, BEFORE YOU GET YOUR KNICKERS IN A TWIST, I ACTUALLY KNOW JOHN MCCAIN.(HE WAS A FAMILY FRIEND DURING MY LAST MARRAIGE) I VOTED FOR HIM IN '98 AGAINST BUSH! AND GENDER OR RACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ABILITY TO DO A JOB TO THE PEOPLE...BUT I BELIEVE HONESTY DOES!. SO, WITH THAT IN MIND I PRESENT....THE FACTS: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth.
Some examples:
PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."
THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."
PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."
THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.
PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."
THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.
Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.
He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.
MCCAIN: "She's been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America's energy supply ... She's responsible for 20 percent of the nation's energy supply. I'm entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America," he said in an interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson.
THE FACTS: McCain's phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she's no more "responsible" for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.
MCCAIN: "She's the commander of the Alaska National Guard. ... She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities," he said on ABC.
THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under "federal status," which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska's national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.
FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States."
THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.
FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: "We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin."
THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.

IRONY.....SHEER IRONY, BOYS AND GIRLS..... Returning firefighters find own station ablaze August 26, 2008
De QUEEN, Ark. --Firefighters were right on top of this blaze.
The De Queen fire station is closed on weekends, so when a call is received the firefighters go to the station to get their gear before heading out.
But when they gathered at the station Saturday to answer a call about a burning utility pole, they discovered they had another problem on their hands.
"One of the firemen called me and said the place was full of smoke. I thought he was joshing me. He said 'We've got a fire at the fire station,'" De Queen Fire Marshal Dennis Pruitt said.
Firefighters called a dispatcher to get the Southwestern Electric Power Co. to disconnect the station's electrical service.
"We told them the fire department has a fire. SWEPCO said 'Yeah, the fire department has a fire.' The dispatcher told them, 'No it's the fire station on fire!'" Pruitt said.
Authorities say the blaze was started by lightning.
Much of the station's equipment was saved by surge protectors, Pruitt said.
"We fuss and fuss at people to get surge protectors and they do work," Pruitt said.
The original call turned out to be a limb on top of a power line -- not a fire.
"We're fortunate we got the fire call. If it hadn't been for that call, there is no telling what would have happened to the building," Pruitt said.
De Queen is a town of about 5,800 people in southwest Arkansas

Bearded man in women's garb accused of tip theft August 15, 2008
FAIRFIED, Conn. --Fairfield police said they didn't have much problem tracking down a theft suspect, a bearded man dressed in a tank top and capri pants. Police say a 22-year-old Norwalk man was caught on tape taking $30 from the tip jar at O Bar Wednesday night.
Police say the man was found a short time after the manager of the bar noticed the missing tip jar and checked the bar's surveillance video.
There, he saw a bearded man carrying a large woman's purse and wearing a dark tank top and light colored capri pants go behind the counter.
Police gave the man a misdemeanor summons for sixth-degree larceny.
Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence.... The Priest said, "Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so. " Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words."

"You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine." "Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.

Winnie-the-Pooh held for Tokyo robbery
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials said on Tuesday. Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offence at being stared at, police said.
"It's uncommon to see people dressed up like this, so the victims were watching them. Then the perpetrator came up and said 'What are you staring at?'" a police spokesman said.
Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole $160 from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A corrupt Chinese official has been condemned to death after a leaky toilet led to the discovery of his huge hoard of illicit cash, Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday. Yan Dabin, a former director of transport for Wushan County near the southwestern city of Chongqing, was sentenced on Friday for taking bribes totalling 22.3 million yuan (1.7 million pounds) from road building companies, Xinhua said.
He was arrested after a Chongqing resident called a police station in January to complain that water was trickling through his ceiling from a vacant apartment above.
A police officer went to investigate and in the bathroom of the apartment, which was owned by Yan, he found a leaking toilet and eight waterlogged cardboard boxes containing 9.4 million yuan.
Yan's wife Fu Shangfang was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for five years, after she was found guilty of laundering millions of illicit yuan through a series of house purchases, Xinhua said.

Two arrested after using barbecue pit as a weapon August 7, 2008
ALEXANDRIA, La. --A man and a woman found a new use for a barbecue pit -- one that landed them in jail. An argument over whether a third guest should stay in the house got so heated that the woman picked up the barbecue pit and hit the man over the head with it, police said.
The man picked up the barbecue pit and returned the favor and hit the woman in the head with it, police reported. The woman then told police that she picked up the barbecue pit and hit the back window of the man's car with it.
Police admit that the whole situation was confusing, but after medics treated the man and the woman, they were handcuffed, read their rights and taken to jail.
The man was booked on a charge of aggravated battery and the woman was booked with aggravated battery and simple criminal damage to property valued less than $500.
We all know the criminals are stupid....the cops arent too bright....and people in general are eegits. But, to see this gem made me laugh til i cried.....Bear in mind they waited 15 minutes......15!!!!!!!

Woman crashes into store then tries to buy beer July 1, 2008
NORWALK, Calif. --A convenience store became an unwilling drive-in when a 74-year-old woman plowed her car through the front window and then tried to buy a six-pack of Budweiser, police and the owner said.
Lynne Rice of Norwalk drove her 1988 Cadillac into Joe's Food Mart and Video on Sunday evening, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Jenny Ha said.
The car plowed about halfway through the store but nobody was injured. Rice got out of the car, walked over to the cooler and pulled out a six-pack of Budweiser beer, said the store owner, who gave only his last name, Awada, to the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
"I don't know how she managed to walk," Awada said, adding a cashier declined the sale and instead called police.
Rice was taken to a hospital for examination because she had a pre-existing medical condition, Ha said.
She was also arrested for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and released on $15,000 bail, authorities said.
Rice could not be reached for comment Tuesday. There was no telephone listing with her name in Norwalk.
Awada said the crash destroyed two 6-foot-wide glass panels. Damage was put at about $8,000

Three men and a Genie
Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and a Marine are all walking together one day. They come across a lantern.....and a Genie pops out of it.
'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total', says the Genie.
The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also Farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada.'
POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.
Osama was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan , Pakistan , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come in our precious land.'
POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.
The Marine says, 'I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.'
The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds those countries. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable.'
The Marine sits down, cracks a beer, smiles, and says, 'Fill it with water.'

Monday, June 23 11:17 pmCALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Canadian military and police are investigating after a package containing a brand new hand grenade, belonging to the army, was found in a suburban backyard, police said on Monday.
A woman in the Western Canadian city of Edmonton, Alberta, discovered the suspicious package on Sunday and took it to her local police station, where officers told her to carefully place it on the lawn.
Police called in the bomb squad, which determined the item was a grenade, still in its packaging and belonging to the Canadian military.
The technicians made sure the package was secure and called military personnel in to dispose of the ordnance.
"It is quite unusual for someone to find a grenade in their backyard, especially one that hasn't been spent," Edmonton police spokeswoman Patrycia Chalupczynska said.
"We want to advise people that if they ever do find something suspicious-looking, they shouldn't touch it -- just leave it alone and call police."
AND HERE I THOUGH I WAS THE ONE "STUFFING" HIS TROUSERS ALL THIS TIME lololololololol.....
Cook accused of stealing lobster tails in his pants June 17, 2008
NEW YORK --Maybe he was trying to beat the heat. A Brooklyn restaurant cook is accused of stealing frozen lobster tails by stuffing them down his pants.
The Brooklyn district attorney's office said Tuesday that Raymundo Flores has been arraigned on misdemeanor charges of petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
Co-workers called 911 on Sunday to report a crustacean caper at the walk-in freezer at Junior's Restaurant. Police say they found lobster tails that Flores allegedly had hidden in his pants and in bandages on his legs.
Flores, a Manhattan resident, has been freed without bail. He's due back in court on July 3.
The name of his attorney could not immediately be determined.

Kansas man survives nail-in-skull accident June 11, 2008
SHAWNEE, Kan. --A suburban Kansas City man accidentally fired a 2.5-inch nail into the top of his head, but says he now feels fine after a doctor used a claw hammer to remove it.
The mishap occurred Friday while George Chandler, of Shawnee, and a friend were working on a backyard project.
The nail gun hose became tangled, causing the powerful tool to fire once. Chandler said Monday he told his friend he didn't know where the nail went, but he felt a sting on the top of his head.
Soon they discovered that the nail was driven into Chandler's skull, so they called an ambulance. He was rushed to a hospital, where a doctor used a common claw hammer to remove the nail, Chandler said.
Chandler said he feels "very lucky, very, very lucky" to have escaped serious injury

Men fillet Charlie the Tuna statue in Oregon June 13, 2008
CHARLESTON, Ore. --It turns out the fate of Charlie the Tuna of Charleston, Ore., was sorry indeed. The 8-foot Monterey cypress sculpture that used to greet visitors to the coastal fishing town was filleted by two young men who stole it as a prank and then, panicked they would be found out, took chain saws to it.
Not that Charlie would have lasted much longer anyway, the town learned, what with the way bugs and rot had hollowed out his innards.
The statue stood beside the South Slough Bridge into Charleston until Mark Santos and Marvin Terry Jr. swiped it last month.
"We had planned to wait a little while and then leave Charlie in a random place in town where he could be returned unharmed," they said in an apology letter published in The World of Coos Bay.
But someone tipped off sheriff's deputies, who started nosing around. Santos and Terry rushed to their hiding place and tried to move Charlie. But the statue wouldn't fit in their truck.
"We decided to chop him up so we could move him," they said. "This was not pre-planned."
Deputies caught them in the act and charged them with theft and criminal mischief.
Mel Campbell of the merchants association had painted Charlie many times over the years -- he was in blue with an orange hat, after the StarKist ads' Charlie.
Santos has paid her a visit, and Campbell is asking for leniency.
"This was just a terrible, dumb, stupid prank that went absolutely wrong," she said.
A wake is planned Saturday at the town's visitors center. The Wild Women of Charleston and the Tuna Guys will offer musical moments. The remains are to be burned and buried at the center.
Mourners are invited to share stories about Charlie, and tuna recipes
