72-year old beats 26-year old

Don't mess with those oldies.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.

He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.

"I guess he thought I was an easy mark," Barnes, 72, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story Tuesday.

He's anything but an easy mark: Barnes served in the Marines, was an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer and retired after 20 years as an iron worker.

Jesse Daniel Rae, the 27-year-old Newaygo County man accused of trying to pick Barnes' pocket, was arraigned Monday in Rockford District Court on one count of unarmed robbery, a 15-year felony.

Tom Cruise the Scientologist - Banned

Germany bans Tom Cruise because he's a scientologist cult member!

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has barred the makers of a movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming at German military sites because its star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, the Defence Ministry said on Monday. Cruise, also one of the film's producers, is a member of the Church of Scientology which the German government does not recognise as a church. Berlin says it masquerades as a religion to make money, a charge Scientology leaders reject.

With one arm behind his back he swings the rope over his head and spins it under his feet - One!

Then with one arm behind his back and his other under his leg, he swings the rope under his feet again - Two!

His arms return to his sides, but the rope goes under his feet again - Three!

Then with both arms crossed, he swings the rope under his feet one more time - Four!

And he lands.

The entire trick, Nestler calls it "The Scooby Doo," takes only a blink.

Skyscraper in Dubai that rotates

In a design to be unveiled today in the oil-rich emirate, David Fisher, an Italian-Israeli architect, has dreamed up a 68-story combination hotel, apartment and office tower where the floors would rotate 360 degrees. Each floor would rotate independently, creating a constantly changing architectural form.

Pastor Buys $4.0mm House, AVOIDING Taxes

2007-05-13T11:04:00.000-05:00

What a bunch of BS. Everyone else in this world pays taxes, tax these people too.

NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP -- A Redford Township church that believes wealth is God's reward is raising eyebrows for buying its pastor a $3.65 million mansion and taking it off the tax rolls.

This month, township officials grudgingly conceded they had no choice but to remove the 11,000-square-foot home overlooking Maybury State Park from its assessment rolls, losing $40,000 annually in taxes.

They concluded the plush pad is a parsonage, but that hasn't quelled debate among township officials and neighbors about whether Christian charity extends to the Detroit World Outreach Church's purchase in September of the home for Pastor Ben Gibert and his wife and co-pastor, Charisse Gibert.

"I also have faith in God, but I don't expect to live in such opulence," said Evgenia Asimakis, a single mother of two who lives nearby and has trouble paying her property taxes.

Her neighbor, Gary Wall, is blunter: "You don't need a multimillion-dollar place to see God. He'll take a lot less."

Detroit World Outreach Church isn't apologizing. In fact, members say the mansion is proof God has blessed them.

Housing Prices Down

2007-04-26T08:29:00.000-05:00

Home prices fall fastest rate in 13 years.

Prices will probably continue falling, said Goldman Sachs economists in a research note. "We expect [the index] to be down about 5% by the end of 2007. If anything, it's getting there a bit faster than we anticipated," they wrote.

Prices fell year-over-year in 13 of the 20 cities, led by Detroit (down 7.8%), San Diego (down 5%), Boston (down 4.7%) and Washington (down 4.3%).
On the other hand, prices have risen 10.6% in the past year in Seattle, 7.7% in Portland, Ore., and 7.3% in Charlotte, N.C.

Other cities in the index: Atlanta, up 2.1% year-on-year; Chicago, up 1.7%; Cleveland, down 2.7%; Dallas, up 1.3%; Denver, down 1.6%; Las Vegas, down 1%; Los Angeles, down 0.4%; Miami, up 2.9%; Minneapolis, down 1.6%; New York, down 1.8%; Phoenix, down 2.1%; San Francisco, down 2.2%; and Tampa, down 1.1%.

Dollar Hot Dogs Shipped to Your Door

2007-04-26T07:57:00.000-05:00

This guy offers to cook and ship you a hot dog in the mail for $1.

If you're hungry for a hotdog, you're in luck. For only $1, I will cook you a hot dog and mail it to you.

Just PayPal me a buck, and I will personally cook you a delicious hotdog, and then ship it out to you!

I'm really good at making hot dogs, so you may even want to buy a few! Generally speaking, I throw them on the Foreman Grill, to give them a nice even cook. But if I have a lot to cook, I might put them on the regular grill outside. I can boil them, or cook them on an electric griddle, by special request only. I suppose I could even microwave them if you want.

If you buy 5, I'll throw one in for free, and send you 6 hotdogs.

Now, because your hot dog may get cold during shipment, I also include instructions to re-heat your hot dog, at no additional charge.

They make great gag gifts, so if you need a joke gift for a friend, a white elephant exchange, or just want to play a prank on someone, order them a hotdog or two (definately add the Deluxe Condiment Pack as well, which is the second PayPal button) and I'll totally mail it to them...I will even include a personalized message of your choice. Just type it into the "Special Instructions" section on the PayPal checkout.

What a weird idea. He even includes reheating instructions when you receive your dog, unbelievable.

Illegal Bones Factory Discovered

Illegal Bones Factory. I've never heard of anything like it. Weird.

Indian police discovered a human "bones factory" in an eastern state on Monday and arrested six people for illegally trading in skeletons, a senior officer said.

The arrested men told police the bones were sold to medical students and used in traditional medicine, district police chief Peeyush Pandey said.

Investigators found dozens of skeletons -- treated with chemicals -- laid out to dry in the sun when they reached a river bank in Keshia, 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Kolkata, capital of West Bengal state.

"We received complaints that several bodies were missing from graveyards and, while investigating the case, we stumbled on the secret bones factory," Pandey said.

Virginia Tech Shootings - Professor Saves Lives

2007-04-17T07:52:00.000-05:00

Article. Professor saves students lives by holding door closed at Virginia Tech Shootings. Condition of the professor or whereabouts is unknown.

Mallalieu said his professor held the door shut while students darted to the windows. Some climbed on desks, ledges and a radiator cover to pull down the screens and kick at the metal-framed glass, Mallalieu said. Three windows easily gave way and swung open on hinges as the gunshots got louder.

Closer.

"It sounded like he was going out into the hallway," said Mallalieu, a civil engineering major from Luray, Va.

Once the windows for the sec ond-floor classroom were open, Mallalieu and most of his classmates hung out of them and dropped about 10 feet to bushes and grass below, he said.

Some students ran to a nearby building. Others waited to help students who had been injured in the fall, Mallalieu said.

But then the sound of gunfire filled their classroom, sending all who had escaped toward nearby Patton Hall, he said.

Mallalieu said he never saw Librescu escape. "I don't think my teacher got out."

Librescu, a professor of engineering science and mechanics who was educated in Romania and is a U.S. citizen, could not be reached Monday. As of 4 p.m., his wife had not been able to find him either.

"I am looking also. I know that he was shot, but I cannot find him," she said, panicked, in a phone interview. "How is it possible that a wife cannot know?"

Conan O'Brien's 2000 Harvard Commencement Speech

2007-04-13T10:06:00.000-05:00

Harvard University Commencement Speech by Conan O'Brien.
This is hilarious, here are some excerpts:

Students of the Harvard Class of 2000, fifteen years ago I sat where you sit now and I thought exactly what you are now thinking: What's going to happen to me? Will I find my place in the world? Am I really graduating a virgin? I still have 24 hours and my roommate's Mom is hot. I swear she was checking me out. Being here today is very special for me. I miss this place. I especially miss Harvard Square - it's so unique. No where else in the world will you find a man with a turban wearing a Red Sox jacket and working in a lesbian bookstore. Hey, I'm just glad my dad's working.

...
The point is that, although you see me as a celebrity, a member of the cultural elite, a kind of demigod, I was actually a student here once much like you. I came here in the fall of 1981 and lived in Holworthy. I was, without exaggeration, the ugliest picture in the Freshman Face book. When Harvard asked me for a picture the previous summer, I thought it was just for their records, so I literally jogged in the August heat to a passport photo office and sat for a morgue photo. To make matters worse, when the Face Book came out they put my picture next to Catherine Oxenberg, a stunning blonde actress who was accepted to the class of '85 but decided to defer admission so she could join the cast of "Dynasty." My photo would have looked bad on any page, but next to Catherine Oxenberg, I looked like a mackerel that had been in a car accident. You see, in those days I was six feet four inches tall and I weighed 150 pounds. Recently, I had some structural engineers run those numbers into a computer model and, according to the computer, I collapsed in 1987, killing hundreds in Taiwan.

...
After graduating in May, I moved to Los Angeles and got a three week contract at a small cable show. I got a $380 a month apartment and bought a 1977 Isuzu Opel, a car Isuzu only manufactured for a year because they found out that, technically, it's not a car. Here's a quick tip, graduates: no four cylinder vehicle should have a racing stripe. I worked at that show for over a year, feeling pretty good about myself, when one day they told me they were letting me go. I was fired and, I hadn't saved a lot of money. I tried to get another job in television but I couldn't find one.

...
So, that's what I wish for all of you: the bad as well as the good. Fall down, make a mess, break something occasionally. And remember that the story is never over. If it's all right, I'd like to read a little something from just this year: "Somehow, Conan O'Brien has transformed himself into the brightest star in the Late Night firmament. His comedy is the gold standard and Conan himself is not only the quickest and most inventive wit of his generation, but quite possible the greatest host ever."

Royal Dutch to Produce Oil for Half the Price?

2007-04-12T15:13:00.000-05:00

Royal Dutch Shell is patenting a technique to convert shale to petroleum at a cost of only about $30/barrel. At half the cost of a barrel of oil today ($60), we can see benefits. What does this mean? Cheaper energy costs, cheaper gas, less inflation problems, more efficient businesses. The largest source of the shale in the world is in the U.S. If it works, expect cheaper gas, and a wealth of new money for the U.S. The theory could be garbage, but you never know.

"An American presidential election is like a world war fought on many fronts in which you really have to deploy your forces across a large geographical area," said Ross Baker, professor of political science at Rutgers University.

Candidates seeking the nomination of their parties undergo a complex series of tests in individual states' primaries, which occur over a number of months. The earlier primaries tend to be more important because the parties coalesce around the leaders as weaker candidates start dropping out.

Obama Challenges Hillary in Fundraising

2007-04-05T08:09:00.000-05:00

Barack Obama raises $25 million for fundraising, trumping Hillary.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama raked in $25 million for his presidential bid in the first three months of 2007, placing him on a par with front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and dashing her image as the party's inevitable nominee.

Obama's fundraising number came from an official in his campaign who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The eye-popping figure was the latest evidence that Obama, a political newcomer who has served just two years in the Senate, has emerged as the most powerful new force in presidential politics this year. It also reinforced his status as a significant threat to Clinton, who'd hoped her own $26 million first quarter fundraising total would begin to squeeze her rivals out of contention.

Take that Billary. She thinks she can't be rivaled. I also love the above picture, it looks like he's taunting her and laughing in her face.

Daylight Savings Gives No Savings

2007-04-04T09:30:00.000-05:00

New Daylight Savings Time = No increased energy savings

The US government's plan to boost energy savings by moving Daylight Saving Time forward by three weeks was apparently a waste of time and effort, as the technological foibles Americans experienced failed to give way to any measurable energy savings.

While the change caused no major infrastructure problems in the country, plenty of electronics and computer systems that were designed with the original DST switchover date (first Sunday in April) failed to update. The inconvenience was minor, and the potential savings were great. Or so we were told by the politicians behind the move.

As it turns out, the US Department of Energy (and almost everyone else except members of Congress) was correct when they predicted that there would be little energy savings. This echoed concerns voiced after a similar experiment was attempted in Australia. Critics pointed out a basic fact: the gains in the morning will be offset by the losses at night, and vice-versa, at both ends of the switch. That appears to be exactly what happened.

Reuters spoke with Jason Cuevas, spokesman for Southern Co. power, who said it plainly: "We haven't seen any measurable impact." New Jersey's Public Service Enterprise Group said the same thing: "no impact" on their business.

I love meaningless changes that affect millions of people. Who forgot to do research when they implemented this? Australia already tried it. It failed. Maybe it would be different in the U.S. Wrong.

Internet Crap - Dark Porcelain

2007-04-02T07:56:00.000-05:00

Google Introduces Free Internet through your toilet on April Fools

Senior executives at Google Inc. launched their annual April Fools Day prank Sunday, posting a link on the company's home page to a site offering consumers free high-speed wireless Internet through their home plumbing systems.

Code-named "Dark Porcelain," Google said its "Toilet Internet Service Provider" (TiSP) works with Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system. But sorry—septic tanks are incompatible with the system's requirements.

The gag included a mock press release quoting Google co-founder and president Larry Page, a step-by-step online installation manual, and a scatological selection of Frequently Asked Questions. On some Google sites, the company's official logo—a multicolored "Google" that changes according to the season and on holidays—substituted a commode for the second "g."

"There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time," Page said in the facetious statement. "And today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and—splat—right onto your PC."

Norwegian police must tolerate more abuse.

A 34-year-old man from Alta was acquitted this week for calling a police officer a "hestkuk" (horse p***s) after having his drivers license confiscated after a seat belt check, newspaper Finnmark Dagblad reports.

A majority of the court again decided that this expression was normal in that part of the country and was in nearly daily use - therefore it should be tolerable. Police have appealed the verdict.

A normal expression that is used daily? Hestkuk this. Hestkuk that.

Snow Angels Hold World Record

2007-03-29T08:34:00.003-05:00

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Legislators waved their arms in a snow-angel salute Wednesday to celebrate North Dakota recapturing a world record for those whimsical works of winter.

Guinness World Records has confirmed that the state holds the world record for the most snow angels made simultaneously in one place, said Marilyn Snyder, the education curator for the State Historical Society of North Dakota.

"If anybody wants to challenge (the snow angel record), bring 'em on." said state Senator Dick Dever, who sponsored a resolution celebrating the achievement that the Senate approved Wednesday. It now goes to the state House.

8,962 Snow Angels set record in Guinness Book.
Whose brilliant idea was this?

World's Tallest Man Gets Hitched

2007-03-28T10:52:00.000-05:00

BEIJING (Reuters) - The world's tallest man, whose search for a bride covered the world, ended up marrying a woman from his home town nearly half his age and more than two feet shorter, Chinese media reported on Wednesday.

Bao Xishun, 56, a 2.36-metre (7-ft, 9-inch) herdsman listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living man, married a 29-year-old saleswoman, the Beijing News said. Both come from Chifeng in Inner Mongolia.

"After sending out marriage advertisements across the world and going through a long selection process, the efforts have finally paid off," the newspaper said.

It was the first wedding for Bao and his bride, Xia Shujuan, a mere 1.68 metres (5 ft 6 inches) tall.

Bao reached his height in a seven-year spurt that began in his teens and which doctors have yet to explain, according to Guinness.

After a career in the army, where he was recruited for a basketball team, he returned to Inner Mongolia. He now herds livestock and hires himself out for publicity stunts.

In December, Bao saved the lives of two dolphins by reaching deep into their stomachs with his 1.06-metre (42-inch) long arm to pull out pieces of plastic, according to Chinese media.

15 million gallons of sewage lost.

SAND LAKE, Mich. (AP) -- About 15 million gallons of partially treated sewage water disappeared from a 250,000 square-foot storage lagoon into a sinkhole, but officials don't know where it went after that.

"It's an odd case. A sinkhole gobbled up all the water and we don't know where it went... It seems to have just gone down into the earth.

"We don't smell anything and we don't see anything."

I feel bad for the sinkhole that "gobbled it up". If you see murky brown tap water coming out of your faucet, you might want to call someone.

Mating Dog Gets Hospitalized

2007-03-27T07:55:00.000-05:00

Too much mating puts dog in hospital.

A male dog in Chengdu, Sichuan, had to receive an intravenous drip in hospital after being given Viagra and made to mate with three female dogs on a single day.

Wang, the dog's owner, has been very busy since mating season arrived. Her dog is considered handsome, and many owners of female dogs want her dog to sire puppies with their pets. Wang can earn more than 1,000 yuan ($128) per breeding session, so in order to boost her earnings she fed her dog Viagra and made it mate with three female dogs last Sunday. The effort was apparently strenuous enough that the dog had to be taken to hospital.

Wang is one sick owner.

Iraq vs. Detroit - The Showdown

2007-03-22T08:22:00.000-05:00

Parts of Iraq are no more dangerous than Detroit says Congressman.

During an interview Monday with WILS-AM, Rep. Tim Walberg said the returning troops he has talked with "indicate to me that 80 to 85 percent, in a conservative fashion, of the country is reasonably under control, at least as well as Detroit or Chicago or any of our other big cities. That's an encouraging sign."

Well that's comforting, I'm sure whether to feel good for Iraq or bad for Detroit.

Listening to music makes you smart

Scientists have uncovered the first concrete evidence that playing music can significantly enhance the brain and sharpen hearing for all kinds of sounds, including speech.

"Experience with music appears to help with many other things in life, potentially transferring to activities like reading or picking up nuances in tones of voices or hearing sounds in a noisy classroom better," researcher Nina Kraus, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University, told LiveScience.

Scout Makes Beef Jerky

Missing Boy Scout found

“Nothing was going on. He was in good spirits,” Auberry said. “He ate lunch, chatting with the boys. He was walking around with I think some Pringles and a mess kit. The next moment, sounds like a blink of the eye, he was gone.”

“They do a great job in the scouts of educating the kids of what to beware of and tips. I’m hopeful that Michael has taken those to heart,” he said. “I hope he’s hunkered down. I hope he’s found a warm place.”

“I think he’s got some of that book in his mind,” Auberry said. “In my fantasy, when they find him, he’ll be making beef jerky somewhere or something like that. He’s got a lot of resources to draw from.”

If you ever get lost in the woods: bring Pringles, a mess kit, hunker down in a warm place, and make Dad think you are making beef jerky somewhere.
