If you’re going to rob a place, don’t leave a filled out job application when you do it.

Stupid Criminal For The Day
When you steal somebody’s cell phone and wallet, at least make sure the phone is disconnected so that police don’t hear every word of your conversation in the getaway car. Thanks Barn for the link.
Parenting At Its Finest
Sadly, you don’t need a license to breed. This lady would’ve never have gotten one. She locked three kids inside her trunk of her car, and then had to actually ask the officer if she did anything wrong. One of the kids was wearing nothing but a diaper.
Morons For The Day
I think these two Star Wars idiots could be the biggest morons for the week.
Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.
A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.
Idiot For The Day
Like you couldn’t see this coming. Police said a man playing with commercial-grade fireworks after drinking 10 beers caused an explosion that gutted his home and seriously injured himself and a friend. Full Story. Thanks Barney for the link.
Comment Spammers Need To Die
If you’re wondering why the site has been slower than snot today, it’s because of jackass comment spammers. I’m running this site on a meaty Pentium4 2.8 with a gig of RAM, and when I ran “top” via an SSH command line (once I was actually able to get onto the server), I realized what the hell was happening: I was the victim of a Denial-of-Service attack, of sorts. The load in “top” was pushing 60+ (an overloaded server is anything higher than 5 or so anybody who doesn’t know). From my estimation, about 150 connections per second were hitting my comment script (which has since been renamed, meaning comments won’t work on many older posts until I rebuild the site). Not only that, they were hitting my e-mail form on the right side of this script (which has also been renamed as well). The connections were coming from dozens of different IP addresses, meaning they were coming from spyware/virus-infected zombie PCs (I’ll check out my logs later to see if there was any pattern to it all).
After the end of it all, not a single comment spam actually made it on my site, thanks to MT-Blacklist and SpamLookup. It did make my server, cry, however, saying no to that many connections running a CGI script.
Anyway, comments will be working again later tonight after a rebuild (they should work on this entry, however).
Idiot For The Day
If you’re going to sexually abuse children, don’t leave pictures of the deed on your cell phone. Thanks Josh for the link.
Idiot Crook For The Day
Make sure that when you’re plotting your crime with your buddy that you don’t sit on your cell phone so that it dials 911 so the dispatcher can hear about your entire plan.
Your Idiot For The Day
Bad: Leaving your SUV running while getting your cigarettes. Worse: Leaving your three-year-old sleeping in the back. Awful: Having the SUV stolen right in front of you. Luckily, it has a happy ending, because somebody ran down the car, and the woman who originally stole the car bailed out, leaving the child and truck, and was caught later.
Moral of the story? Cigarette addictions make you do really stupid things.
Note To Self
In the future, make sure that if you decide to work with super glue at the office that you bring something to work that will remove super glue from your fingers because, despite working with a bunch of women, nobody has any nail-polish remover out here.
It’s really hard to type with super glue on three of your finger tips. Go figure.
That is all.
