What's wrong with fuzzy???

Philadelphia, (Reuters)
   School bans fuzzy boots!!!  I know, why pick on fuzzy boots?  The school says girls are hiding their cell phones in the fuzzy boots. What? They don't hide them in other kinds of boots? I'd think they would just keep their phones in their purses. Sounds like some people just don't like fuzzy.

Don't click that button!!!!

Berlin (Reuters)
   The entire German Parliament's email system was jammed for four hours after an absent click. An employee, Babette, was replying to a co-workers request with, "Please, bring me the new directory."  Babette accidently clicked "all" sending the message across the entire network. Babette recieved messages ranging from "Please, take my name off your list." to "Why can't we be friends?" I'm not sure how many directories she recieved either.

Can they do that?

Flagstaff, Arizona (AP)
   A man released from the county jail refused to leave and was arrested and placed in the county jail where he already was. That's right if you don't leave jail in Arizona when released they will arrest you and put you in jail. Yup, that's why the zombies moved to Arizona.

Where can I find 2 million really small security wind breakers?

Holywell, Flintshire, England (BBC)
Historic Heritage Park has decided to use security bees to protect the park from vandals. Yup little bitty rent a cop bees. Some officials are worried about folks getting hurt. They will probably have to give the bees crowd control training or something. Nope, just let 'em be bees.

The farmer was charged with animal abuse for the painting of the wild hawks!!! No one is really sure why the farmer decided to spray paint hawks.

Wow, no room to wiggile there boy.

Johannesburg, South Africa (AP)
   A proposed law would sentence meteorologists to a$630,000 fine and five years in prison for forecasting weather other than sanctioned forecasts by the South African Weather Service. (Hey buddy, want to buy a boot leg forecast?  I can make you a deal.)
   This sort of law will just turn forecasting over to gangs and criminal elements. Back alley forecasting will become even more common than currently happening in South Africa.

Really gonna be lines now.

Tokyo (Reuters)
   Electronic game manufacturer Sega has come up with a new game for the restroom. Yup, called the "Toylet", this electronic game is installed on urinals. Sensors measure the strength and position of the urine stream allowing patrons of the urinal to play one of 5 video games. The games have been installed in Japanese pubs. The "Toylets" have been such a hit that Sega is taking the game world wide.

Dude, that ain't no rat!!!!

New York (AP)
   Passengers riding the 4 AM subway thought they saw a giant rat asleep on the train. Subway officials were summoned and attempted to capture the animal. When the opossum bared it's teeth, the subway folks backed off and called animal control. I know, why was a opossum on the subway?? Probably got tired of walking and dodging traffic.

Never did trust that smile.

   The Iranian government is cracking down on stores that sell Barbie dolls. Religious leaders say the doll encourages bad behavior. Shop keepers have to keep Barbies out of sight and can only bring them out upon request. Well there you go.

Man, the Dutch aren't kidding!!!

Amsterdam (AP)
   The Dutch Air Force used two F-16's to try and help chase a criminal suspect. The jets were trying to locate the suspect with their infrared camers. The suspect crashed his car and escaped on foot. Later, a neighbor called in a tip that resulted in the capture of the suspect. Soooo, much for high tech. Just dropped a dime.

Dude, where is the cigarette lighter.

Indianapolis, Ind. (AP)
   A handcuffed prisoner stole a police car.  Later the thief radioed asking where the cigarette lighter was in the cruiser and where the handcuff keys where. In a related story, the Indianapolis Police Dept. was unable to cover up a story about a police cruiser....

We have rules for a reason.

Peabody, Mass. (AP)
   The TSA said they had to confiscate a ladies cup cake before boarding a plane. The cup cake was packed in icing. Apparently, icing is a gel. And, the amount of icing exceeded the limit for gel. Now, I don't know about you, but I've never heard of a bomb being made out of icing. I've heard of some deserts bombing out but I believe that is just figurative language. I wonder if there is a formula on the inter net showing how to turn icing into a bomb???

   A man called 911 after "accidentally" gluing 5 plastic cups to his head. So where there 5 individual accidents or was this one big accident?  Several other questions come to mind.

Good boy Fido, good boy.

Canberra, Australia (AP)
  A Canberra family was awakened by their dog barking. Upon investigation, the family found a 5 ft. 6 in. crocodile in their living room. Ok, I think that's a reason to move. Or a reason to start shutting doors, or block that doggy door or....

What do you mean there is no shot for that.

Vienna, Austria (AP)
   Fire fighters rushed into a burning residence in Vienna. Fire fighters rushed right back out. 6 extremely deadly snakes (including a two ft. long cobra) were loose in the house, Needless to say the snakes weren't happy with the fire. Luckily no fire fighters were bitten as Austrian hospitals do not keep anti-venom on hand for tropical snakes like cobras.

Another Candidate for Sterilization.

Lexington, N.C. (AP)
   A man tried to pass a $1 million dollar bill at the local Walmart. Michael Fuller tried to buy $476 dollars worth of stuff and pay with is $1 million bill. I'm not sure if Michael realized that a cash register can't hold $999,500.00 in change. The store probably doesn't have that much in the safe!!! Tweet outta the gene pool report to sterilization!!

What kind of coffee shop?

Augusta, Maine (AP)
   Mr. Raymond Bellavance Jr. was found guilty of arson. Mr. Bellavance had torched a local coffee shop. Apparently, old Raymond became upset about is ex-girl friend working at the topless coffee shop. That's right, a topless coffee shop. I wonder if they are planning to make the operation a national chain??? Be nice to have a good coffee shop with unique theme. I do love my coffee.
