A hour drive that turns into a 28-hour drive around a neighborhood. Man thought he was in Canton, Ohio, found in Cleveland. Full Story.

Money Can’t buy Happiness
From Ruminate.com‘s archives:
While I’m fully aware that money can’t buy happiness, I wouldn’t mind being known as “the melancholy guy who drives the red Lamborghini Diablo.”
The Library Musical
This belongs in the cool and funny category, but this is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in a long time. Navigate through this site until you get to the Library Musical. It’s about 10 minutes long, and if you’ve ever sat in a quiet library, dead tired from studying, you will understand how funny this is if it were to happen in your library.
“The secret to a happy family is a powerful bathroom fan”
That was a direct quote from this funny column in the Post-Gazette. Quoted:
I have to admit he was right. He could evacuate the entire apartment on Sunday morning. It was almost like a religious ritual — he’d come out of the bathroom, close the door behind him, still reading the sports pages, and Mom would wrap a towel around her face and swear into it: “Oh God, what did you do? Lord, what is that smell? Mother Mary, deliver us from this cloud of evil!”
Wacky Case Creations
Some people have far too much time on their hands. This guy has created computer cases made out of gingerbread, put them in treasure chests, built one with built-in tissue and lotion dispensers, threw a computer into a toilet and BBQ, and even built a few cases out of PVC.
Eugene Votes down the Patriot Act
I knew there was a reason I liked Eugene, despite the fact I went to college there. The town is full of psycho environmentalists, PETA folks, etc…, but one thing they did do right is they were the 15th city to vote down the Patriot Act — one of the worst laws to make it through congress since the DMCA. To quote the article, “Congress approved the 342-page Patriot Act last year to enable a crackdown on terrorism, but it has since been criticized by groups across the political spectrum as a threat to personal privacy and constitutional rights.” Yeah, you can say that again. Ashcroft, G. W., and the boys are (and have been) using it to basically take away the constitutionally-given rights of the accused, giving them free reign to accuse and search anybody, anywhere, anytime, and with the help of local law-enforcement. [sarcasm]Sounds like a brilliant idea to me[/sarcasm].
