Quoted from the story:

Two teens accused of searching for a marijuana dealer dialed the ultimate wrong number — they called the Mower County Sheriff’s cell phone.

Whoops…

Needless to say, they’ll be spending some time in jail.

When you throw your beer can out the window of your car, make sure you don’t hit the windshield of a police car.

“My name appears in google search because of it.” (nevermind that his phone number is right on the bottom of the page as well).

Otherwise, stuff like this happens.

You don’t want to sit on metal chairs in the wide open. Unless you’re these folks. It’s sad that their lack of common sense was witnessed by their small children, who are obviously in shock over all this.

Why does this not surprise me that something like this would happen on the tax-payer’s dime?

I’m sorry, but it’s hard for me to have sympathy when some jock college kid drinks too much, climbs up high in a church, and falls to his death. His blood level was .16, for cripes sake (the legal limit is Pennsylvania is .10 — higher than Oregon’s .07), and he was only 19! And even worse, the pastor at the church is rumored to have furnished the alcohol (<comment that’s going to send me straight to hell>”God says it’s OK, son, don’t worry.”</comment>). What is the world coming to!?!?

The sheriff’s department said it happened around 1 a.m. Sunday. A group of six friends were drinking beer and wine coolers at a popular hangout for underage teens. The idiot became quite intoxicated, and then decided to climb a NiMo tower. He got 30-feet in the air, then grabbed the power line. The enormous jolt then knocked the moron to the ground. His clothes were on fire, he even charred the grass on the ground. Full Story, link from Fark.

Paul Smith, 18, leaped from the roof of a five-story condominium and sailed toward a swimming pool below. As a camera showed, Smith didn’t splash cleanly into the water. His torso and legs crashed into the ledge of the pool, and then he fell into the water. “Paul,” a friend yelled. “Wake up! Wake up!” Smith is in critical condition. Full Story.

In case you didn’t hear, the music industry is doing all sorts of things to alienate their customers. They’re finally starting to get it right with iTunes, so hopefully they’ll soon realize that suing everybody and their dog (and then creating copy-protected CDs) isn’t the best way to go about things.

Thankfully, independent studies are starting to show what everybody already knows: “Adding copy protection to CDs decreases demand as much as 76%, depending on the price of the disc. Music labels should leave CDs alone and migrate consumers to DVDs and digital downloads.” Hopefully the folks at the RIAA will take this to heart and let us get the music how we want it.
