He was fueled so he was fired

by

In July, Cory Neddermeyer, 42, was turned down for unemployment benefits in Iowa after a judge ruled that he was fired for cause.

His employer, the Amaizing Energy ethanol plant, suffered a massive spill that created a pond of fuel alcohol, and Neddermeyer (a recovering alcoholic), after resisting as long as he could, gave in and started drinking from the pool, causing him to pass out and later register a 0.72 percent blood-alcohol reading.

Hmmm this made me think this guy might be related to Peter Griffin from the Family Guy.






Mom’s a Sleuth

by

Katja Base of Norco, Calif., knew police wouldn’t be able to invest much time in investigating the vandalism of her yard.

So after she found toilet paper all over the lawn, damaged landscaping, broken light fixtures, ruined finishes on two cars and the lawn covered with dog food and flour, Base, a mother of six, took the following steps.

* 1. Asked supermarket manager to check records of recent toilet-paper purchases.

* 2. Checked store’s surveillance tape for the time of a purchase that included 144 rolls of toilet paper, dog food and flour.

* 3. Checked a school yearbook and went online to nail down the names and addresses of the teens shown on the tape.

* 4. Called police.

Six youths are now facing vandalism charges.

So What do you think?


I’ve been working hard to create a new theme and site for Odd Planet. I want to move it over from Blogcharm because WordPress has a lot more features that I’d like to use with this blog. Such as? A better comment system, and automatic posting for a start.

Right now the side bar is sitting too low in Internet Explorer. I know that. I’m not sure how to fix it though. However, as far as I can tell everything is working nicely in all the other types of browsers that I’ve tested such as Netscape, Firefox and Opera. If you have any problems with the site loading or not looking quite right would you let me know?

Hopefully I’ll have all the posts from Odd Planets former site transferred over within a day or two, then we’ll be in business. I’m just hoping that I can figure out a way to move the comments over too. That’s going to be the hard part.

Enjoy!

It’s so hot you can bake cookies in the Car

Can you cook cookies in your car?

A woman in Bedford, N.H., says she can put a heat wave to good use by baking cookies on the dashboard of her SUV. She puts trays of cookie dough on the dash and retreats to somewhere where there’s air conditioning.

“My husband wanted me to run some errands this morning,” Sandi Fontaine said last week. “I said, I can’t. I’m baking cookies.’ ”

She said the outside temperature needs to be at least 95 degrees to make the car oven work. “When you open the door to that car,” she said, “it’s like, oh my God. It’s a wonderful smell.”
