Personalized Drill Leads to Arrests
A Florida man was arrested after the drill he allegedly used to put holes in gas tanks to steal fuel was left behind and police found his name etched on it.
Authorities say the Summerfield, Fla., man and his girlfriend are accused of draining several tanks.
John Oldenburg, 44, and Darlene Kimbriel, 39, face grand theft, burglary of a conveyance and criminal mischief charges, Marion County Sheriff's Office records show.
Deputies allege they found a methamphetamine lab at the couple's home, so they also face drug charges.
Deputies say they found a drill with "J. Oldenburg" etched in the tool at the scene of the latest gas heist. Asked why his drill was at the scene, Oldenburg blamed his girlfriend.
Kimbriel, meanwhile, accused her boyfriend of drilling for gas while she acted as a lookout.

Man Dressed as Bride to Marry Boyfriend
The couple walked into a Norfolk courthouse on a spring day, exchanged a few words, and within 10 minutes, were seemingly husband and wife.
It was an unremarkable ceremony — except later, officials realized the shapely bride might not have been a woman.
Now authorities in Virginia, where same-sex marriages are illegal, are weighing whether to file misdemeanor charges against the couple, Antonio E. Blount, 31, and Justin L. McCain, 18. An announcement is expected this week.
The pair went to Newport News Circuit Court on March 24 to obtain a marriage license — McCain appearing as a woman and saying the name "Justine" before a deputy.
McCain produced a Virginia driver's license, but a design quirk — the 'm' or 'f' for male or female appears directly against a darkened state seal — meant nobody noticed McCain's gender.

After Being Stabbed 22 Times, Man's Last Words Name Alleged Killer
Police say a Long Island man dying from 22 stab wounds managed to name one of the men charged with killing him.
Suffolk County police said Friday that Thomas Garafolo's dying words pointed to 20-year-old Fredrick Hollman. He and 27-year-old Joshua Lopez are being held without bail on murder charges. Authorities say they killed Garafolo out of suspicion he was cheating Lopez out of the proceeds of a shoplifting scheme.

German man torches car to protest high gas prices
A German man doused his BMW with gasoline and torched it on Friday in protest at skyrocketing fuel costs, police said. The unemployed 30-year-old man drove the black 1995 BMW 3-series sedan onto the lawn outside Frankfurt's convention center grounds at about 7:30 a.m., police spokesman Karlheinz Wagner said.
He then jumped out, emptied a canister of gas over the vehicle, and set fire to it, Wagner said.
By the time the fire department got to the scene, the car was entirely burned out.
The Bavarian man, whose name was being withheld because he has not been charged with a crime, told police that gas prices were so high he could no longer afford to drive the vehicle.
As in many countries, gasoline prices have risen steadily in Germany; a liter of regular gasoline now costs about euro1.55, or $9.40 per gallon.

Man who tried to pay bond in dirty cash jailed
A man who tried to pay a $100 bond in dirty money will spend a week in jail for contempt of court. A Scott County judge sent the man to jail on Thursday.
The man was arrested in May for driving a truck with a defective tire. Instead of paying a fine, he opted for a trial and a judge required him to post bond.
On Thursday, he brought a box of crumbled money and a bucket of pennies to the clerk of court's office.
Clerk of Court Julie Carlin said there were bugs in the box and the pennies were covered in an unknown substance, and they used rubber gloves the count the cash.

Teen Decapitated by ride at Georgia Six Flags
A teenager was decapitated by a roller coaster after he hopped a pair of fences and entered a restricted area Saturday at Six Flags Over Georgia, authorities said.
Six Flags officials are uncertain why the 17-year-old from Columbia, S.C. scaled two six-foot fences and passed signs that said the restricted area was both off-limits and dangerous to visitors, spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release.
Authorities were investigating reports from witnesses who said the teenager jumped the fences to retrieve a hat he lost while riding the Batman roller coaster, said Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce. Police have declined to release the teenager's name until an autopsy is completed.
Six Flags said it closed the roller coaster after the Saturday afternoon accident out of respect for the teen's family. The ride was expected to reopen on Sunday, according to a Six Flags news release.
Police said the ride was going full-speed 50 mph when the teen was struck.

City changes mind, says take off your pants
In a turnaround, Aurora has rescinded its policy requiring lifeguards to wear pants.
Half the lifeguard staff at Aurora reservoir quit after the city required them to wear breakaway pants while on duty. Aurora said the policy was designed to protect its lifeguards against sun exposure and West Nile virus.
The lifeguards who quit said the new uniform could put swimmers’ lives at risk.
"It takes an average of four to five seconds to take the pants off to get into the water, or if we try to get into the water with the pants, it’s going to be dragging and we’re not going to really be able to swim and get them back to shore," lifeguard Greg Huston said.

2-Year-Old Survives on Cat Food After Mom's Death
Sacramento police say a 2-year-old boy survived on cat food for up to six days after his mother died.
A social worker heard the toddler crying while making a visit to check on the family Thursday morning. The worker called police after no one answered the door of the brick duplex where the mother and child lived.
Inside, authorities found the body of 36-year-old Lisa Gonzales. It was not immediately known how she died, but a Child Protective Services spokeswoman says the woman suffered from a chronic illness.
Neighbors said the woman worked as a waitress and described her as quiet.
The boy, identified only as Noah, is in protective custody while social workers determine whether he can be placed with a family member.

That’s %3.03 of total US drug deaths. (According to the Journal of the American Medical Association’s statistics, March 2004.) These statistics show drug laws don’t protect us. Instead they protect politicians - they need drug laws to look tough because they’re too cowardly to go after real crooks. In February 2008, Reuters announced 22,000 Americans died just from one legal drug: "22,000 lives could have been saved if Trasylol had been taken off the market"
Those guys are buying vacation homes - they’re rewarded for tricking people into believing their drugs were safe. But who’s jailed? Backyard gardeners. After all, what could be easier for the government than taking the big drug dealer’s money? Jailing the small drug dealers.

'Manure-Bomb' Thieves Fall Into Dung, Flee Crime Scene Naked
A German woman trying to make "manure bombs" using stockings, slipped into a slurry tank and fled the scene naked, German police said on Friday.
Two women entered a farm in the northern village of Eberholzen on Wednesday evening and started to fill the stockings with manure.
"One of them slipped into the manure tank, right into the cow muck," said a spokesman for local police. "The other one helped her out. We found their clothes in a field. One seems to have run off completely naked, the other in her underwear."
Police said it was unclear what the women had intended to do with the "manure bombs," but the incident could be linked to victory celebrations surrounding the Euro 2008 semi-finals.

For Elizabeth Thornton, however, the year brought with it a rather different set of demands. First, she was asked by her daughter Sarah to refer to her as 'Alex'. More recently, she found herself shopping not for a glamorous evening gown, but for a breast restrictor designed to flatten and hide her daughter's breasts.

Court Denies New Mexico Man Obscene Name Change
A New Mexico appeals court on Friday ruled against a Los Alamos man who wanted to change his name to a phrase containing a popular four-letter obscenity.
The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to "F--- Censorship!"
Judge Nan Nash ruled that the proposed name change was "obscene, offensive and would not comport with common decency."
The man — whose current legal name is Variable — argued on appeal that it was improper government censorship to deny him the name change.
But once he seeks court approval for a name change, the court has the authority to turn him down on several grounds, including if the name is offensive to common decency and good taste, the judges ruled.

Sleeping Pilots Overshot Airport by 359 Miles
An Air India flight soared past its Mumbai destination on June 4 as its pilots allegedly dozed off in the cockpit, The Times of India reported Thursday.
The napping pilots flew 359 miles past the airport and were still at cruising altitude when nervous air traffic controllers woke them up.
The flight, which was on autopilot flying toward Mumbai, had about 100 passengers on board.
"The plane took off from Dubai at 1:35 a.m. Indian Standard Time and then from Jaipur at 7 a.m. After operating an overnight flight, fatigue levels peak, and so the pilots dozed off after taking off from Jaipur."
Air India officials vehemently denied the report, saying the plane lost radio contact with air traffic control for some time, and only flew 14 miles off course.

Texas Teen Faces Murder Charges in Death of Her Newborn
A 14-year-old girl who secretly gave birth in a school bathroom was charged with capital murder Thursday by police, who said she killed the newborn by choking and flushing him in the toilet.
The girl was charged as a juvenile; Baytown police Capt. Roger Clifford said prosecutors will decide whether to certify her as an adult. She cannot be executed if convicted because of her age.
The girl gave birth April 2 in a bathroom at Cedar Bayou Junior High. Police said she stuffed toilet paper in the infant's throat and submerged him in a toilet. An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive and cried before his mother tried to flush him, police Lt. Eric Freed said.
"We have had enough evidence to determine that this action was done intentionally and knowingly," Clifford said. "That means beyond a reasonable doubt in our mind and in mind of the district attorney's office and in mind of the medical examiner's office, that this was not an accident."

Man was refused passport because bald head is too shiny
A dad of three had his new passport photos rejected - because his bald head was too shiny.
Ian Down, 42, got the pictures taken at a photo-booth and handed them over with his documents at a passport office.
But a clerk at the Passport Service looked at the flash reflecting off Ian's head and asked: "What's that mark?"
Ian said: "I was shocked. I told them what it was but they said some countries might not let me in if they saw it."

That's such a weird thing. How can a bald person be denied a passport if his head is too shiny? On the other hand, I think the photographer taking his passport photo could have acted a bit smarter. Had he asked the man to apply some telcum or compact on his shiny head, this incident could have been easily avoided. Read the rest in comments

"The plane took off from Dubai at 1:35 a.m. Indian Standard Time and then from Jaipur at 7 a.m. After operating an overnight flight, fatigue levels peak, and so the pilots dozed off after taking off from Jaipur."
Air India officials vehemently denied the report, saying the plane lost radio contact with air traffic control for some time, and only flew 14 miles off course.

Texas Teen Faces Murder Charges in Death of Her Newborn
A 14-year-old girl who secretly gave birth in a school bathroom was charged with capital murder Thursday by police, who said she killed the newborn by choking and flushing him in the toilet.
The girl was charged as a juvenile; Baytown police Capt. Roger Clifford said prosecutors will decide whether to certify her as an adult. She cannot be executed if convicted because of her age.
The girl gave birth April 2 in a bathroom at Cedar Bayou Junior High. Police said she stuffed toilet paper in the infant's throat and submerged him in a toilet. An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive and cried before his mother tried to flush him, police Lt. Eric Freed said.
"We have had enough evidence to determine that this action was done intentionally and knowingly," Clifford said. "That means beyond a reasonable doubt in our mind and in mind of the district attorney's office and in mind of the medical examiner's office, that this was not an accident."

Man was refused passport because bald head is too shiny
A dad of three had his new passport photos rejected - because his bald head was too shiny.
Ian Down, 42, got the pictures taken at a photo-booth and handed them over with his documents at a passport office.
But a clerk at the Passport Service looked at the flash reflecting off Ian's head and asked: "What's that mark?"
Ian said: "I was shocked. I told them what it was but they said some countries might not let me in if they saw it."

martha said...
That's such a weird thing. How can a bald person be denied a passport if his head is too shiny? On the other hand, I think the photographer taking his passport photo could have acted a bit smarter. Had he asked the man to apply some telcum or compact on his shiny head, this incident could have been easily avoided. Read the rest in comments

North Pole May Be Ice-Free This Summer
It seems unimaginable, but for the first time in recorded history the North Pole may be free of ice this summer, according to a published report Friday.
If climate scientists' predictions hold true, the "unique" prospect of sailing in open waters at the North Pole, before the region cools in September, may become a shocking reality.

Computer error prices gas at $1.40 at Ohio station
A computer error caused a Cincinnati area service station to sell gas for $1.40 instead of $4.10, leading to a major traffic jam. Vehicles clogged the area around a Marathon station in suburban Sycamore Township while the bargain was available for roughly three hours on Tuesday, until Hamilton County sheriff's deputies persuaded the station to shut down.
Tiffany Smith waited in line for two hours to take advantage of the deal. She says these days, her family has to decide between buying food or buying gas, and the fuel price glitch would allow her to do both.
The store clerk didn't know how to fix the problem and was having trouble reaching his store manager.

"You can have a marriage contract even with a 1-year-old girl, not to mention a girl of 9, 7 or 8," he said. "But is the girl ready for sex or not?" What is the appropriate age for sex for the first time? This varies according to environment and tradition," al-Mu’bi said.

Many believe that oysters were originally labeled "aphrodisiac" because of their shape.
Upon close inspection, they somewhat resemble the female sex organ. This could be a reason why people in the past associated mussels with sexuality. Sexual appetite, more often than not, starts in the mind rather than in the body, so oysters could have a psychological effect on the libido.

12-year-old girl, Charged With Distributing Nude Pic of Classmate
Westport girl has been charged with distributing a nude photo of a classmate to fellow students.
The investigation began on May 12 when the incident was reported to Westport police after word circulated throughout Coleytown Middle School that a nude snapshot was taken during a video chat and distributed to others.
The girl is being referred to Juvenile Court in Norwalk on a charge of second-degree breach of peace, which involves the distribution of offensive and indecent material. Her name is not being released because of her age.
"In light of how sensitive this case is for all the families involved, I don't feel it's appropriate to comment at this time," said Mark Sherman, an attorney for the girl.
The arrest comes amid growing worries among parents about teenagers snapping naked pictures of themselves on their cell phones and sending them to their boyfriends and girlfriends. Many of the pictures are falling into the wrong hands or being posted on the Internet, leading to criminal charges.

A Jacksonville, Fla., bike store employee said he pretended his cell phone was a gun to threaten a burglary suspect and then sat on the man until help arrived.
The Purcell's Motorcycle and Marine World employee said he spotted the suspect, identified by police as Hector Ivan Arroyo-Medina, attempting to drag a dirt bike through a hole that had been cut in the business' fence about 4 a.m. Tuesday.
The worker said he pointed his cell phone at the suspect.
"The low battery beeps a red light, and when I saw it I was thinking of one of those tazers. So, I got close to him and said, 'Freeze or I'll shoot you,'" the employee said.
He said he ordered the suspect to lie on the ground in the middle of the road and the employee sat on him until they were spotted by a Jacksonville Fire-Rescue vehicle.
"The firemen asked me because (the suspect) said I had a weapon and I had him pretty scared and they asked, 'Where is your weapon?' And I said, 'It's just a cell phone,' and they all started laughing. You could tell he was not very happy that a cell phone ended his reign," the employee said.

Thieves steal electronics from fast moving truck
Six Romanians have been arrested on allegations they stole mobile phones and laptops from the back of a tractor-trailer as they followed it down a German autobahn at 60 miles per hour, Dortmund police said Tuesday.
"It was an extremely dangerous stunt - like an action film," said Manfred Radecke, a spokesman for Dortmund police.
Officers, having been tipped off about the gang's tactics, were able to stake out an area and watch the thieves in action last week, Radecke said.
In the nighttime darkness, with their lights off, the men drove up behind a transport truck.
Once in place, one man climbed onto the hood of his own car, then used a bolt cutter to break a lock on the trailer door before heaving it open and climbing inside. He then handed boxes of electronics back to a second man on the car hood, who loaded them into the thieves' vehicle, Radecke said.
A second car blocked the left lane during the operation to prevent other cars from pulling too close, he said.
Because both cars had their headlights off, Radecke said, the truck driver never noticed he was being robbed.

SHOPPING TIP: Don't Buy Food at Walmart
Something staring back at me in a can of green beans
Texas wedding caterer Dale Cane found a dead rat's head in one of the twenty cans of Allen's Italian Green Beans he bought at Walmart. Allen's quickly offered Cane $200 if he agreed to keep quiet, and assured him that "the Pasteurization process renders the product sterile and completely safe for consumption." Even worse, this isn't the first time a dead rat's head popped up in a can of Allen's Green Beans...

Something Nasty Wriggles My Way
I stopped at the local Wal-Mart this morning to buy Ibuprofen whilst checking out, I noticed a bag of trail mix and decided that I would grab some. I had not had any in a while.
I opened them up just a little while ago and began to savor the nutty, salty, sweet goodness. I let the taste develop in my mouth for as long as I could before having to swallow it. I grabbed another handful, and another. Before I knew it, I had eaten approximately 1/4 of the contents of the bag.
It was in the next handful that I noticed something peculiar. Staring at me from in between two raisins was this dehydrated worm like creature. The length and girth of it reminds me of a leech, but the ridges on it remind me of an earthworm.

Clothing-optional condo pool?
Tampa condo offers buyers clothing-optional pool
Free upgrades and paid closing costs not enough incentive to buy a condo in a sluggish housing market? How about nude swimming and sunbathing? The developers of Arbors at Branch Creek, a Tampa condo conversion, are hoping a clothing-optional pool will attract buyers. "We know there are people out there who will enjoy this amenity," said Christine Pirkle, director of sales for project-developer Eden Condominiums. "It's just become more accepted and people who want this option don't have very much of it."

Son turns his dead dad into a teapot
John Lowndes has no problem stirring up happy memories of his dad after putting his ashes in an urn with a difference.
He found that when Ian died 10 years ago aged 75, one of the things he missed most was their tradition of putting the world to rights over a nice cup of tea..
So he brewed up the idea of giving him leaf eternal by having his ashes mixed with clay to make a teapot.
John, 54, said: "Those cups of tea with dad were special and when he died I really missed them."
John, of Broad Haven, Pembs, approached local potter Neil Richardson who made two teapots - in case one breaks. John added: "Dad would understand. The only thing more appropriate would have been a pint glass."

Man Charged With Driving Wheelchair While Drunk on Highway
A man found asleep in a motorized wheelchair on a highway in northern Australia was charged with drunk driving, police said Monday.
Officers in a patrol car noticed the man slumped in the stationary chair about 10 a.m. Friday on an exit lane near the tourist city of Cairns, regional traffic Inspector Bob Waters said. Cars were swerving to get around him, Waters said.
The officers breath-tested the 64-year-old man, who registered a blood alcohol reading of 0.301 — more than six times the legal driving limit. He was charged with operating a vehicle while drunk and ordered to report to court on July 7, where he faces a stiff fine if convicted.
"The vehicles that we normally hear about with drink driving are the family car, the truck, the motorbike," Waters said. "But there are also other classes of vehicles that are subject to drink-driving laws," including horses, bicycles, and motorized wheelchairs.
The man, whose name was not released, told police he was making a nine-mile trip from his home to a friend's place, Waters said.
"He placed himself in a very dangerous situation," he said.

Man Arrested for Kidnaping, Mother Over Death of Pet Skunk
A man accused of assaulting and tying up his mother because he was reportedly mad about the death of his pet skunk has been arrested in Waldron, authorities said.
Authorities say 35-year-old Scott Tolles Sullivan was arrested early Saturday in Waldron. He is being held without bail in Van Buren. Authorities say he hid from police in an attic and was arrested after police shot him with a bean bag gun.
Sullivan's mother, 56-year-old Maria Sullivan, called police Wednesday night after freeing herself from duct tape and rope, authorities said. Maria Sullivan told police that her son became upset when he learned that her dog killed his pet skunk.
According to police, Sullivan said her son hit her with a homemade club and tied her up. She says Scott Sullivan also tied up a 14-year-old disabled boy who is under her care.
Scott Sullivan was arrested on suspicion of two counts of kidnaping and domestic battery.

In Columbus Ohio we had a local TV clown in the '60s called "Flippo the Clown" who started his show by driving up to the studio in one. (Sadly, he just passed away a couple of years ago...) There is a couple of these cars in a great antique car museum in Clearwater FL by the airport.

It's a BMW Isetta which was rather popular in the 1950ties in Germany. The German nickname for that tiny vehicle was "Knutschkugel"
