In November, Britain’s Home Office announced that it agreed to a settlement to a lawsuit that had been created by 197 Heroin-addicted prisoners that it was “assault” and violation of European Convention on Human Rights for them to have been denied drugs almost immediately after they were arrested. The government has agreed to pay each of the prisoners the equivalent of about $7000.
The red bra
A likely story? Two men in a Dodge Neon were seriously injured in a rollover accident on Interstate 75 near Toledo, Ohio, in October after a red bra flew from the radio antenna of another car, startling the Neon driver and causing him to swerve and lose control.
The Ohio Highway Patrol later learned that the owner of the bra had hung it from the aerial after she realized that it had broken because her dog had chewed on it earlier that day. Why on earth would she string a broken bra from her cars antenna? Didn’t it break inside the house?
A prosecutor said a misdemeanor littering charge would be filed against the woman, but was exploring whether there had been out-the-window socializing between the cars’ occupants before the rollover.
Thief wants reference from former employer
Karen madden, 38, who confessed to stealing $550,000 worth of jewelry and handbags from the residence of her former boss, who is the chancellor of the state’s college system, is going to trial in Harrisburg, Pa.
Oddly enough, she seems to think that she’s still worthy of asking for a work reference “Just for the work part?” from the Chancellor who is testifying at a hearing this coming July on the charges. She asked him when she’d recently called him to apologize. Now that girl has balls, doesn’t she?
Strange art forms
The magazine Time Out New York reported in September on the “artistic palettes” of the Sprinkle Brigade of artists who dress up dog droppings on New York City streets with glittering candy bits and colorful toothpicks, for “urban beautification.”
What I want to know is why they didn’t just scoop it up.
I don’t think someone stepping in beautified poop will be any more pleased than when they step in plain Jane poop.
British performance artist Ian Thorley, working on grants from several local councils, did a week’s stint on an Ashington street in October, stepping onto and off a doormat while wearing a badge identifying him as a government doormat tester.
Council members approved this? Didn’t they see the irony in their decision?
