Did you catch this little guy in the recent “Dark Knight” batman movie?
I’ve heard he was the stand-in or possibly the stuntman er … stunt dog?
He looks a little confused in this shot if you ask me. Maybe they were going over the scene directions?

Unfortunately for people who want to keep moving while on crowded sidewalks it’s been ruled that even if you and your friends are blocking peoples paths through bustling Times Square it’s not a crime.
Matthew Jones had been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in June of 2004, but the New York Court of Appeals decided on Tuesday to overturn his conviction. At the time police has said that people had to walk around him and that he wouldn’t moved when asked and he flailed his arms.
Jones pleaded guilty in 2004 after spending a night in jail, but he later appealed.
To be convicted of disorderly conduct in New York, a person must be acting “with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof” and obstructing vehicular or pedestrian traffic, according to the unanimous opinion.
The court found that Jones’ behavior – standing in the middle of the sidewalk at 2:01 a.m. with friends – did not meet the definition.
“Otherwise, any person who happens to stop on a sidewalk – whether to greet another, to seek directions or simply to regain one’s bearings – would be subject to prosecution under this statute,” the opinion said.
Maybe this isn’t illegal, but it sure is rude when I encounter it on the streets of Toronto. Move to the side people!

Someone messed up. Big time!
When the town of Fatima was preparing to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the appearance of the Virgin Mary to three children someone thought it would be a good idea to produce some maps for all of the visitors. A local company was hired to produce a map showing how to get to the holy Sanctuary of Fatima.
Unfortunately the back of the map was not blank. The reverse side had printed advertisements for sex toys and aphrodisiacs.
A shocked shrine spokesman has demanded the company withdraw its product, declaring: “The map makes the wrong use of the picture of the Virgin Mary.”
