Man way over limit fights with gas pump

by

Recently police in Madison, Wis., said Milo G. Chamberlain’s blood-alcohol content was .425, which experts said usually is attainable only by those either dead or in a coma.

But he was picked up, quite conscious, allegedly causing a disturbance at a gas station, where he reportedly got into a fight with a gas pump before being restrained by passers-by.

Well you know he was out of it if he was fighting with a gas pump! Even if he really should have been in a coma with that blood alcohol level!

Oops! They were the wrong size

Department store assistants in the Hainan province of China were surprised to discover that a pair of trousers that had been stolen on Sunday reappeared when they took stock Monday evening, though another pair of trousers in another size were missing.

Authorities suspect that a thief stole a pair of trousers from the store but later found that they didn’t fit him, and then proceeded to return to the department store and switch them with a second pair.

Though no arrests have been made, police suspect a man in his 30s who had “tried on many trousers in their store in the past two days, but failed to buy any.” Currently an investigation is underway.

That thief has guts – steal the pants once, return them and steal yet another pair? I guess he really wanted that style.






People you don’t want working for you

by

Here’s a few accident prone people that you wouldn’t want working on your property:

– Inspecting the Dukovany nuclear power plant in Moravia in September, an unnamed American official with the International Atomic Energy Agency wandered away from the group and fell into a water tank. I hope that water wasn’t tainted!

– In September, firefighters in Spokane, Wash., rescued a worker whose head had become stuck in a water meter enclosure for about four hours. How does one get their head stuck in a water meter enclosure?

– In October, when Turkey’s prime minister Tayyip Erdogan fainted from low blood sugar, his security team rushed him to a hospital but mistakenly locked him and the keys inside his fortified car; after they pounded on it for a while, a nearby construction worker with a sledgehammer saved the day. That could have been a life and death situation for the Prime Minister. I think he needs a new security team- don’t you?

The value of a good flashlight

by

We have the occasional power outage in our area and there’s been times when we’ve been caught without a flashlight or perhaps the batteries or light has worn out in the one or two that we have around the house. This is a big pain in the butt if the power outage happens in the evening.

There’s nothing wrong with candles, other than the possible fire hazard they impose, but you just can’t see well enough in the dark without having several candles blazing can you?

I recently discovered a site that sells several different types of flashlights. The company sells streamlight flashlights, plus many other brands such as Pelican, and Streamlight. They have Pelican LED flashlights, hands free headlamps, pocket, gun mount lights, and flash light accessories. These flashlight could be used for fun- ie camping and outdoor activities like hunting and camping, emergency situations such as when the power goes out at home, or by police and emergency services such as EMS and firefighters. The possible uses are endless.

I think it would be pretty cool to have a headlamp flashlight. We are always doing renovations around here and it would be nice to have a hands free light focused into a dark area that you happen to be working in. I think a headlamp flashlight would work perfectly in that type of situation. It would also be good if you were walking around outside in an unlit area, or perhaps even reading in bed. Hey why not?

Opticsplanet.com offers discount pricing, plus FREE UPS on order over $29.95. They also sell a whole line of products ranging from binoculars, microscopes, sunglasses to even MP3 players. I know that I’m going to look over the types of flashlights that they have in stock. We only have two flashlights in the house right now and think a three story house should probably have at least one flashlight for every floor if not more.

The Watchmans revenge

by

When a burglar has to ask the police to help him you know something strange is going on. This was the case in the western city of Katowice, when a Polish burglar end up asking the police to save him after an axe-wielding night watchman attacked and chased him until he crashed his vehicle.

The watchman took the 25-year-old burglar by surprise after he had broken into a house. The watchman hit the burglar three times in the head with the blunt end of an axe, cracking his skull. “The dizzy burglar fled to his automobile and managed to lock the door and start the engine,” a police spokesman told PAP news agency.

The watchman chased the vehicle, shattered the driver-side window and yanked the steering wheel, sending the van the burglar was driving into a mound of dirt.

The burglar called the police when he was trapped in the car. The courts will now decide whether the watchman’s actions went beyond self-defense and constituted a crime.

The burglar’s head injuries were not life threatening. The burglar faces 10 years in jail for breaking and entering. His head injuries were not life threatening, however the watchman could face eight years in jail if charged with fighting with a deadly weapon.
