Not News: Man Gets Busted For Driving Drunk
News: He has no legs.
Why it’s here? There was another guy on the floor controlling the pedals, who was also drunk, and both were busted. The man without leg’s defense? He wasn’t actually operating the truck because he couldn’t push the gas pedal, so he couldn’t have been “driving drunk.”
Michael Vick Hit With “$63,000,000,000 Billion Dollar” Lawsuit
Michael Vick is accused of some very serious crimes, but I seriously doubt he pledged his allegiance to Al Qaeda and that he’s responsible for stealing dogs, selling them on eBay and then using the proceeds to buy missiles from Iran. Full story.
That’s Not A Knife…
… This is a knife! And while Wegner’s out of stock on their site, you can buy it on eBay.
I don’t even know what to say about this one…
…I’ll just let the first couple paragraphs explain this one:
TORONTO (CP) – What do a woman wrapped in sausages, a bag full of elephant manure, and a skinned monkey all have in common?
They’re just a few of the strange and stomach turning things officials with the Canada Border Services Agency have come across and confiscated during routine luggage checks at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport in recent years.
Update: You know it’d probably help a lot of I gave you the link to the actual story.
Yet Another Reason To Come To (Or Avoid) Central Oregon During The Summer
The tourists that come here like to try to break odd ball world records — like the nearly 4,800 folks who all sat on a whoopee-cushion at the same time, far short of the 5,983 needed to break the record.
They have a video of it, too, but I’d recommend you watch it from the front page of the site as the video link on the article page tries to use Windows Media, which sucks and doesn’t work in Firefox at all, while the front-page Flash version (which I can’t link to) works fine.
All these folks were all here for The Rally, which is a gigantic annual RV Rally in Redmond. I sure you could think of a hundred old farts in RVs jokes that would be appropriate here, but I’ll leave that to you.
Great Use Of Processing Power
A Pigeon Cam with dynamically added fez (this is a fez, if you don’t see the pigeon when the cam loads or it’s dark).
Note that is appears to not have updated most of the day, so as of right now, there’s a pigeon with the fez on its butt:
The Japanese Are Weird People
And we all know that Japanese have an obsession with oddball game shows. Like this really weird example (video after the jump as I really don’t want this sitting on the front page).
Doesn’t Seattle’s Government Have Other Things To Worry About?
SEATTLE – At Seattle City Hall there are rules.
No weapons, no animals, no loitering, no alcohol, no lying down, no smoking, no music, no fighting, no trespassing.
Could the next thing be no microwave popcorn?
[…]
The City Facilities Department has just issued a memo to all City employees.
SUBJECT: Burnt microwave popcorn.
The Justice Center has been evacuated eight times in three years, forcing the evacuation of more than 400 people. If the problem continues, it will result in a ban of all microwave popcorn.
The article is actually quite a hilarious and some real city hall stupidity.
The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Has Lost An Officer
It wasn’t human, however.
Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Koda has died in an unfortunate sequence of events, the agency reported Wednesday.
The 2-year-old dog, a Belgian Malinois, died earlier this week while Koda and his handler were off-duty, visiting out of the area, said sheriff’s Capt. Tim Edwards, who announced the news “with great sadness” in a press release.

While his handler was away, Koda forced his way out of the kennel and consumed a large amount of dog food being stored in the car, Edwards said.
Koda then proceeded to eat the seats of the car, ingesting foam from the car seats, Edwards said.
