Poop bag snatching is newest wave of crime

Police in San Diego are searching for a gunman who swiped a bag of poop from a woman out walking her dog. The woman told police that she was out walking her dog, Misty, when a man in his 20s ran up behind her and grabbed the bag she was holding.

When the gunman discovered what was in it, he threw it down in disgust, pointed his gun at the 32-year-old woman and demanded money. When she didn't give him any money he aimed his .22-caliber at Misty and pulled the trigger twice.

Luckily the gun failed to fire but the poop snatcher is still at large.



Thankfully Misty is ok and the poop snatcher should be easy to apprehend. Instead of being caught red-handed he will be caught brown-handed and smelly.

Oh $hit

A Czech tractor driver died under eight tons of manure in a bizarre accident that has baffled his employers. The 34-year old man suffocated after his load of manure fell on him while he was dumping it in a field near the western Czech city of Karlovy Vary, news Web Site www.novinky.cz reported on Sunday. “It absolutely beats me how this could happen,” said Vladimir Erps, chief of the company employing the victim. “The truck is operated from the tractor cabin, using hydraulics. There was nothing for him to do under the truck, but it’s tough to blame him now that he is dead."

I bet his last words where....well you know. Here's what I believe happened. He set the hydraulics to begin dumping the load when he got the call of nature. Seeing that a few cars would occasionally drive by, he thought that if he went to the back of the truck where no one could see him he could take a dump there, since the next rest area was 90km away. After dropping his drawers he failed to realize that the hydraulics were still elevating the load of manure. It only took seconds for the load of crap to rush down the incline as he was taking his very last dump. I believe this is a candidate for the Darwin Awards. Most craptacular!

Sex Strike

An Italian woman whose angry husband refused for 7 years to have sex with her was awarded divorce damages by Italy's high court this week. The husband, Francesco, launched his "sex strike" in the early 1990s to punish his wife, Piera, for taking sides against him in a family dispute over money. They bitterly separated in 2000 and Francesco, still convinced that she was responsible for the broken marriage, refused to make support payments demanded by Italian courts and repeatedly appealed against them. But the court today ruled that he had to pay.

I wonder if he really was on a "sex strike." Either he was getting it somewhere else from some hot Italian girl or he has E.D. and therefore going on a strike is like slurpin' up spaghetti. It could be that he's never heard of Viagra or more likely his estranged wife looks like a baboon's buttocks and he chose the hot sleek incredibly looking Italian girl and just hid the affair by blaming it on a 'dispute'.

The Answer to Life the Universe and Everything

Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "a trilogy in five parts" has been honored by having an asteroid christened after him. Named Douglasadams, it was found in sector DA42 2001. Which is fitting because it includes all this (Douglas Adams, the answer to Life the Universe and Everything, and then 2001 was the year in which he passed away.) There is also an asteroid named Arthurdent that was named in his honor back in 2001.

Prepare to be mooned

Japan plans Moon Base Alpha.
Japan's space agency has announced the possibility of developing a shuttle-style space vehicle by 2025 and eventually constructing a manned Moon base - hot on the heels of last Saturday's successful launch of a H-2A rocket carrying a navigation and meteorological satellite. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is once again talking big after the H-2A mission restored faith in the country's space program. This comes after a November 2003 H-2A launch that ended in a humiliating failure when the rocket had to be destroyed shortly after launch. This fuelled criticism of Japan's space ambitions originally ignited by two failures of the H-2A's predecessor - the H-2 - during the 1990s, Reuters reports.

All I can say is go go Kamikaze style! I mean Americans thought it was cool to blow up space-rockets I don't see why Japan can't follow in the same footsteps.


Saturn's newest Moons named.
Three new moons discovered around Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft have been given provisional names.The discoveries were made last year, not long after Cassini had arrived in orbit around the ringed planet.Two moons detected in August have been given the names Methone and Pallene, while another found in October has been provisionally named Polydeuces.

Why can't we name our moon? Saturn gets all these cool names for its moons like Polydeuces, we just call our moon, Moon. I don't know what we would call our moon but here's some possibilities I thought of. Al Cratorn (Al Capone but with crater), or Your Mom. Lol that name would rock. On some lovely evening when I'm making out with a girl in the moonlight I could look up and say, "Wow!" She would ask what as I was pointing in the general vicinity of the moon above her house. "Your Mom is really huge! She looks incredible!"

Bypass iPods

The software, called PyMusique, allows people to copy songs bought through the iTunes site onto music players other than iPods. Apple's DRM is only added to songs at the last moment, so the software short-circuits this part of the download process.

I don't have an iPod but they look incredibly cool. What I don't understand is why someone would want to bypass using an iPod? If you are going to pay that much to download from iTunes you might as well invest in something Apple supports. Plus if you have another player *cough* you might as well *cough* illeg *cough* ally download the music. *cough* Ah hem... Sorry I must be coming down with some kind of cold.
