OK, so, for weirdness, it doesn't top SL's story about the guy in Texas who was in the closet with the corpse, but .... it's no slouch either.

Yikes! Well, it could have been worse... He might have liked attention and paraded around.:uke:
The story is intriguing, but there is so much left unreported. Heck, we aren't even told if the underwear was soiled or clean. I think just a few moments of reflection will make plain just how much of this dramatic incident is left untold. It is reporting like this that has caused so many to question the effectiveness and integrity of the mass media.

Where are these people? I have some bridges I'd like to sell...
Yes... we could all use some help with our retirement plans.Quote:

"Homeowner Frank Fontana says he was in bed when the man climbed in about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Fontana says he asked whether it was a woman who has keys to his home - and he grabbed a baseball bat when a deep male voice answered, 'No, it's not.' "
"The man, 33, faces a preliminary hearing on charges of criminal mischief and criminal trespass."
I'd dispute these charges. Criminal mischief would have been if the intruder has said, "Hey, baby! It's me! Are you ready?"
And it just keeps on a coming....

Maybe he wasn't trying to resuscitate the animal at all, he might have been trying to steal a kiss! Nice find, as always!
"The man is charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and blowing over the legal limit."
The ways of jurisprudence are strange indeed. In Texas, I don't think there is a legal limit on blowing.
Of course, in Oklahoma, the Buckle of the Bible Belt, anything other than straight Missionary is illegal. :knife:

How's this for weird new? The Ohio legislature just passed a law which among other provisions makes the creation of animal/human hybrids, the fertilization of an embryo with non-human sperm (and the reverse) illegal.
Why does this impress me as weird? I think this law makes it illegal for Ohio politicians to reproduce.
"An 87-year-old grandmother subdued by police with a stun gun while she was lying in bed hooked up to an oxygen machine is suing her Oklahoma hometown."
Full story
That's right, Pilgrim, we don't cut anybody any slack here in the Land of the Red Man. Besides, Granny wanted to end it all, didn't she? One good spark near the O2 cylinder and it could have light's out forever.
Gotta love them El Reno boyz in blue. :thumbs:
Remember: You can be legally shot in Oklahoma, by law enforcement officers, if you are fleeing the scene of a felony and refuse to stop when commanded.
There was a similar incident near Austin Texas a few months ago. http://www.examiner.com/x-536-Civil-...eatgrandmother
There are a pair of nice videos on youtube:

Okay, I am obligated to acknowledge a kindness from an OKC policeman this morning. I got pulled over two blocks away from work, with an expired tag one week past the 1 month grace period. He took my driver's license and insurance card, then came back only to give me a warning and send me on my merry way! :)
Funny thing is, that I remembered the expired tag before leaving home, thought about calling in for a couple of hours to take care of it and opted against it! :rolleyes:
So, boys and girls, the moral of the story is: always listen to the voices in your head! :thumbs:

Bad advice! If I listened to those little voices in my head, I'd be in jail for sure by now!:devil:
And yet more...

The link died. But the quote is disturbing as hell! Was the policeman afraid she would hit him with her cane?
This past Sunday, a Fairfax, VA. man was killed in a dispute over his efforts to have the county place a speed bump in front of his house. Full story from The Washington Post.
You'd be amazed at how much road rage speeders like to carry with them. If you want to see the pinnacle of arrogant rude and self entitled sociopaths come to Wexford PA. To be honest I like to push their buttons while I'm at it. Like pausing to check the scenery when they're in a hurry to fly 65 down a 25mph stretch. Or my personal favorite thing to tick them off: Actually stopping for a full 5 seconds at a stop sign. BTW yes they do flip their lid when you do that in that area.
I can't believe I am the first to post this gem. Not only is it weird, but ironic in extreme and darkly funny. :eek:

I am sure this story leeds to others which can easily segway from this one. :rolleyes:
I know sometimes it looks likes us 'Mericans get to hog all the glory for unwarranted taser attacks, but it ain't so. Here's a pretty good one from the Land Down Under. No, not Mexico; Australia.Quote:

The video was released yesterday, the day after a man died in Sydney after police stunned him in the chest with a Taser." Here's the story, and here's the poor quality video. Might not be suitable for work.
And what about the guy that died? Well, seems he was tased about 28 times in less than 2 minutes https://wsws.org/articles/2009/jul2009/tase-j03.shtml

Obviously, you're forgetting that Australia uses Metric time. :thumbs2:
