In early August a 21-year-old Thunder Bay, Ontario man was charged with voyeurism after an incident involving a digital camera in a coffee cup.
Police say a 31-year-old woman was shopping at a grocery store when she noticed a man with a coffee cup getting a little too close.
The woman grabbed the man and yelled for help, which prompted other customers and store staff to intervene. The suspect was held at the store until police arrived. Police determined the coffee cup contained a digital camera, but would not reveal its contents.

Recently in a suburb of Mumbia, India residents were more than a little inconvenienced when a Boeing 737 was abandoned on their street.
A truck driver was delivering the wingless jet to an unknown customer when he happened to take a wrong turn. The street he ended up on left him unable to go forward or to go backwards. He ended up fleeing the scene leaving the large jet in the middle of traffic.
The plane might have been moved by this time, but when I first read this story the plane was still waiting to be moved, residents were irate and homeless men had moved into the jets cargo hold and had set up a kitchen.

If you are a Roman Catholic and you’ve vowed to make the pilgrimage to Fatima in Portugal, famous for religious visions, but you can’t fulfill your promise you can now rent-a-pilgrim.
Pilgrim Gil will make the journey in your place for the low fee of 2,500 euros (1,671 pounds), and he’ll even send you a certificate stamped along the way to prove he walked your every step.
Carlos Gil, 42, is also a rent-a-pilgrim. He took up this practice four years ago when he suddenly “felt an urge to walk to Fatima” and said charging each client was simply a way to keep doing what he loves. Gil says “It is a romantic way for my clients to thank God for what they have, like buying a candle or a plaster statue of Fatima,”.
To guarantee to his clients that he made the trip on foot, Gil has a system of handing his customers a certificate after every journey with various stamps from places along the way.
