Not in the news but..

Someone has stolen a drive thru headset from a local KFC store and keeps talking to the staff through it and playing Marvin Gayes - "Lets get it on" repeatedly.. eventually the battery will run out and they'll probably have to steal a charger too if they want to continue their shenanigans."

laugh

Chinese citizens are being arrested for sharing news about the Wukan village rebellion online

This week, police carried out a vicious crackdown on demonstrators in the southern Chinese fishing village of Wukan, about 150 miles away from Hong Kong. After police fired rubber bullets and tear gas at villagers protesting over land rights disputes, information about the crackdown is being entirely blocked in mainland China.

Now Chinese citizens are being arrested for spreading reports about the crackdown.




so don't tell anybody

Men modify rental car with home-made 'snorkel', take off-road near Queenstown


A rental car with home-made modifications, including a "snorkel" made from downpipe, has been pink-stickered by police after being driven off-road.

The driver was issued with an infringement notice and ordered not to drive the car by police at Queenstown Airport on Wednesday.

Constable Matt Hargreaves said four men rented the car, took the bonnet off and added a "snorkel", before taking the car on an off-road joyride around the hills of Arrowtown.

The men got into trouble when they went to pick up a friend from the airport and were spotted by police, Hargreaves said.

* Were you in the car or do you know more? Contact

The men, from the North Island, then approached the rental company and bought the car outright to stop any further action.
the men took the vehicle to Macetown – a gold mining ghost town above Arrowtown, accessed by a four-wheel-drive track that crosses the Arrow River and other fords.

She suggested next time the men wanted to go off-road, they should "hire a vehicle with a snorkel as opposed to creating your own one".

Sweet! the number 8 wire theory is still in full throttle!

Sounds unequal to me.
At least the female personel in the arm forces,should be asked and vote,if agreeing to share their sleeping quarters,with their male colleagues.

Just goes to show that Jews living in America are now Americans first and just as silly as the rest of Americans at times . Funny , I thought the number of Jews who think god gave Israel to the Jews is high since it was the UN .

Bomb explosion in garbage can at Seaside Park, New Jersey.

Seaside Park is one of New Jerseys beach areas, probably the biggest that attracts a lot of people.

sophiasummer: Awww, are you on dial up?


typing Ah, that ancient tongue from the 1980s. Bought my first laptop, which was a used one for $600.00 ($826.00 NZD) in 1998.

And in those days, there was no guaranty that the internet would stay connected from one day to the next, but the worldwide web was intriguing enough to keep trying to make connections.

Proud to say that I abandoned the Bell South (AT&T now) dialup service, and now have high-speed connection.

thankfully the race had been delayed


There were two to three additional pipe bomb devices wired together, he said. One pipe bomb went off and was contained to one garbage can where it was left, but the others did not.

The explosion, which occurred around 9:35 a.m. near D Street and Ocean Avenue, was on the route of the Third Annual 5K Semper Five race.
