We all know that college is synonymous for party, but the students in Sweden are trying to make a bold new stand. rather than getting wasted in dorms or bars, they decided that having beer in the Student Union.

Now wanting to have beer in college is no big deal, but they wanted a local brewery to construct a pipeline of liquid courage to the Chalmers University of Technology Student Union hall.

To make their demand more impactful, about 50 students went to Carlsberg Brewery in Falkenberg and protested the creation of the pipeline. Back in 1959, the Chalmers University Student Union purchased one stock of the local pub, until it was purchased by another company in 2000.

“Hopefully we’ll get a pipeline relatively soon,” student union chair Alexander Westerling told the Göteborgs-Posten (GP) newspaper ahead of his negotiations with the brewery.

The School has been pushing for the beer tunnel for over 50 years and only about 6 feet of pipe has been laid. Not long after the seige of the brewery, they received word from the negotiation table.

“We’ve listened and accepted their demand. We’ll soon start construction on one metre of pipeline,” said Carlsberg spokesperson Göran Orre.

By now most people have heard of the American Girl who saved a 16 year old british boys life, due to messages sent via Facebook.The young hero actually talked to her mother about what was going on and they called the White House and the British Embassy. If the reporting of plane crashes and earthquakes aren’t a good enough reason, this seals the fact that social media’s impact peoples lives greatly.

The British Have It Best

Brewers that “represent the best of British Beers,” have called for a National Beer Day. Over 200 MP’s have backed the campaigned labeled, “Save the great British Pub.”

Bob Russel called for a motion on the government to adopt a five point plan to save the British pub. He states that the traditional pubs are being outpriced by supermarkets, without the restrictions required by licensees of pubs.

Russel states that five pubs are day are closing down in the UK everyday. Beer sales are at their lowest level for nearly 40 years. He even said that the planned tax increases, “will place traditional public houses at even greater risk of closing down”.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

The Wisconsin state capital building in Madison was forced to evacuate as a precaution, due to a stolen plane flying through that section of the state.

Federal and Military officials said that the stolen plane was Cessna 172, was taken at the Thunder Bay Airport, Ontario. It was forced to land after being trailed by 2 fighter jets. The plane landed on a section of U.S. highway 60. The pilot fled on foot after landing the Cessna, but was taken into custody after a short time.

The pilot refused communication with authorities through the entire flight. The pilot was a student at the Confederated College Flight School at Thunder Bay International Airport. The plane was stolen around 2:30 p.m. from the school.

“We don’t know what the motive is. I wouldn’t want to speculate on that. We are treating this with the utmost seriousness,” said Mike Kucharek, spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado, while the flight was still under way.

The Curves of the World

Welcome to East High school located in Denver, Colorado. A geography class accidentally got a lesson in the geography of the human body.

A substitute teacher was looking to find a movie the class was supposed to be watching on Thursday, but found a pornographic film instead.

“A substitute teacher was having difficulty opening a computer presentation that was supposed to be shown to the class. While opening what was thought to be the correct file, a pornographic movie started to show on the screen of the computer. The movie was on the computer screen for just a few seconds,” Principal John Youngquist said in a letter sent to all parents.

The advanced placement class had a total of 23 students and a mix of freshmen and sophomores. Luckily, only 6 students saw the film, because the teacher had yet to turn on the overhead projector.

The Denver Public School District is investigating the incident. They are not sure what action will be taken after the review and wasn’t sure if the regular teacher was back to work on Friday.

Teens Unleashing the Phoenix from Axe Body Sprays

Staying in the great state of Colorado, we turn to Lakewood. Apparently, firefighters are disturbed by a rising trend of homemade flamethrowers.

“We’ve had a dozen young people charged with various arson crimes in the last month and all involved Axe Body Spray,” said Cindy Matthews of West Metro Fire.

The fire department has started asking parents and teachers to caution youngsters and ignore the 200+ videos on Youtube, showing the mini-flamethrowers being ignited.

“Nearly a dozen young people are facing a range of charges after using the popular teenage cologne to set things on fire, including themselves,” stated a news release from the fire department.

Axe has put out a video warning users to “use Axe responsibly.” They are hoping their video can detour kids from causing another incident like back in 2007. Two kids were playing with the body spray flamethrower, and one suffered 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns on his body and face.

Today’s stories are a little interesting. Fat people want to lose weight, but don’t know how, brother’s fight over a soda, son beats up his own mom for beer money, and the coup de grâce… Man wins the lottery because a dildo changed his life.

Dildo of Fortune

Steve Charlton likes to sit back and tell the tale of a young man, six numbers, and a giant sex toy the size of his forearm. Carlton and a friend went to the Pleasure Palace to get a birthday gift, but an epic birthday gift.

“So we have the party,” Charlton said. “The dildo was a big hit. No pun intended.”

Soon after, the birthday girl left for Chicago for a job. A couple weeks passed, and Charlton packed for his new job. He about to leave when he noticed something in their living room.

He tossed it into his old Nissan Stanza and he drove to Chicago. March 11, 1992, Charlton was driving home from work and he needed an oil change. Charlton sat in the lobby of the quick lube garage as they changed his oil. Suddenly, he remembered what was in his backseat.

“I knew they were going to see it back there.” Getting money from the convenience store’s ATM, he felt guilty that he was not buying anything.”Gimme five lottery tickets,” he told the cashier.

He tucked the lottery tickets in his pocket, paid for the oil change in cash and left as fast as he could. The next morning, Charlton fueled his Nissan Stanza and he bought a newspaper. At a stoplight, he compared the winning numbers from the night before. He sat at the green light in shock when he realized that he won.

Charlton still has it massive sex toy. He jokes that he hangs it over his mantle like a prized fish, but in truth it’s in a plastic tote in his basement.

Ice Cold Soda Killer

Palm Bay detectives are investigating the 3^rd homicide in the last 3 weeks that claims to be in self defense. Anthony Giampetro called 911 on Friday saying that he had shot his brother Joesph 3 times with a revolver.

“They were arguing over a Coke,” said Yvonne Martinez, spokeswoman for the Palm Bay Police Department. “One brother had drunk it and the other was upset.”

Anthony Giampetro said his older brother was kicking in a locked door and he feared for his life, officials said. No charges have been filed against the younger brother.

It was the 3^rd to take place in Palm Bay in the last two weeks, officials say. So far, all three Palm Bay cases – including one involving a bar fight and the other, a man struck in the head with a baseball bat after pulling a knife on a woman.

Give Me Beer Money or Else

A 40 year old Fort Walton Beach was arrested after he hit his girlfriend in the face, because she wouldn’t fork over some beer money. The man grabbed his own mother by the hair while she calling the police and tossed her to the ground. He allegedly shoved the girlfriend into the door frame when she tried to intervene.

When deputies arrived, they noticed swelling over face of the mom and some scrapes and cuts on her arms. He was charged with assault and battery.

We’re Fat, Sassy, and Lazy

Philip Chawner, 53, his wife Audrey, 57, daughter Emma, 19, and Samantha, 21, are asking for more money for their family. The Blackburn family claim £22,508 a year in benefits, because the Chawners haven’t worked in over 11 years.

They say they haven’t worked because they are over weigh and it is a hereditary condition. The family weights a combined 87 Stone (1162 lbs). Mr. Chawner said: “What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.”

The recommended maximum intake is 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men. The family claim to spend £50 a week on food and consume 3,000 calories each a day.

“We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner,” Mrs. Chawner told Closer magazine. “All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We’re fat because it’s in our genes. Our whole family is overweight,” she added.

Their daughter Emma, said: “I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise” she said “We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don’t know how.”

Sorry for the delays in posting. I was overwhelmed with this weekend, but enough of that. This last weekend was a Japanese Culture Festival in Phoenix, which apparently meant that we needed a CosPlay display.  I will be uploading some of the photos that I took over the weekend.  There just seems to be something odd of a 6ft. cat wandering around a crowd of people…

Today’s stories were a tough batch to choose from, since there has been a lot of stabbing and maiming. As always, there are links at the bottom to the full articles. Also, if you want to you can leave a comment on this article. Happy Fat Tuesday!

Her Hair is Smoking

An Evansville woman decided that the easiest way to get rid of her lice was to wash her hair out with gasoline. A fire crew was called to the scene after the gas fumes were ignited by a water heater. She was taken to a local hospital and has suffered minor injuries. I can’t wait to see who she sues to buy her a replacement wig, while her hair grows back out…

Now You’re a Man

Adam Wilson of the ripe age of 16 was charged with assault and possession of marijuana after his arrest on Friday. His father took a 30 pack of Budweiser away from the kid sometime earlier in the week. For actually caring, his son rewarded him with a stab to the neck with a penknife. When the son asked the father to pay him for the 30 pack, Thomas Wilson (aka Father) refused, that is when the kid struck and then fled from the home.

Take Off the Hat or I’ll Stab You

A 58 year old father and 19 year old son got into an argument Sunday when the son refused to take his hat off while in church. The father upset, walked out to the car and grabbed his knife. He decided to prove that the lord works in mysterious ways, by stabbing the kid in the left butt check and then fleeing the scene. The son was taking to the hospital for treatment.

Damn that’s some Hot Stuff in that Trunk

Cincinnati Police have decided that they will try to use 1990’s terms to help people. Their new campaign for auto theft education starts tomorrow and the winning slogan is, “Lock it or lose it, put your junk in the trunk!”

Lt. Mark Biede of the Cincinnati Police department said, “Could be cd’s, ipods, briefcase, suction cup left on windshield, cell phone, when breaking into cars, if they got the charger they look for what goes with it also.”

This new campaign will look to include bait cars with cameras, educational e-mails, and more cops walking the beat and/or working undercover.
Now that is a horrible car robber, if he breaks into a car to steal a suction cup. They should just turn themselves in at that point.

Robber: “Finally, I was tired of all those iPods. Now I can finally hang my Garfield up in the back window again.”

So it’s the day after Valentines and it either was stellar or you suffered with the Valentine’s Flat line. The flat line is the lack of having a Valentine or doing something so bad that you lost the Valentine. So for today’s post I found 4 stories that caught my eye, as always links at the bottom to the full story.

Sin Taxes? 200% tax increase on Beer. Wine’s looking good now.

Lawmakers in Eugene, Oregon are considering passing a bill that would raise taxes on beer. Currently oregonians are paying roughly $2.60 in taxes on a barrel of beer. The new law would increase the tax to be over $49.00 a barrel. Now the money made would go to agencies that handle treatment and recovery programs.A poll taken last year showed that 66% of Oregonians are willing to pay a higher “Sin Tax” on tobacco, beer, and wine.

“Oregonians drink more craft beer than anyone else in the country, and it’s a reason why it’s been such a strong industry, and it would be unfortunate if it were to be hampered by something like this,” said Nikos Ridge, co-owner of Ninkasi Brewing Company.

The world without chocolate, is a world filled with sad fattys.

The Nature Conservation Research Center are looking into the future and say that in 20 years that chocolate will cost as much as caviar. The major reason that they see a decline in the production is due to climatic changes and the farming of cacao, the cocoa plant.

Howard Shapiro, global director for plant science and external research for confectionery manufacturing Mars Inc. says, “If nothing was done, and the temperature was to rise, and the rainfalls were to change and drought became more prevalent … without looking into new farming practices, then there should be a problem, and there might likely be a problem.”

No really I love you…open the Door! OMG its the Police

Operation Tough Love was a success on Valentines Day. 72 people were arrested by Sheriff’s who showed up at their home with arrest warrents. of the 72, only 17 were deadbeat parents, the others had arrest warrants for Drugs and other reasons. The top 15 deadbeat parents together owe more than 1 million dollars to their kids. Sheriff Joe Arpaio says, “”The bottom line is they should have respect and surrender.”

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

Sheila Langman is facing charges for a “sexual relationship” with a boy age 15, when sheriff’s deputies caught her reuniting with the same kid on Friday night. The 38 year old woman was already placed under GPS monitoring by the Santa Rosa Count Sheriff’s Department, from the 1st incident.

She was arrested again, after the GPS alarm went off on Friday night, because she went near the boy’s home. Deputies were able to track her down by about a mile away from her home…with the boy in her car. She was jailed without bond Friday on charges of violating her release conditions.
