Her Hair is on Fire!

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.”

Must Read Thursday

The All-Star basketball weekend arrives in Phoenix, and I wonder if anyone really cares anymore. It used to be about the Slam Dunk Contest and 3 point Shootout, then the big game over the weekend. I wonder if this game is going to mean as much since the economy is in its rut. Well I found some interesting articles to share. As always links are at the bottom to the full article.

You put the drugs in the Milkshake and hit’em in the head…

Nancy Kissel, an American woman has won the approval to have her appeal to a life in prison sentenced appealed. She was sentenced to life in prison in 2005 for serving her husband at the time a laced milkshake and then bashing him on the head with a metal ornament. She states that it was in self defense during an argument as he was threatening her with a baseball bat. Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal decided to side with Kissel’s lawyers based on improperly allowed statements from friends.

Hazmat Team examines Campbell’s Soup.

This one made me laugh a lot. A woman in Des Moines found a “suspicious” substance in her can of Campbell soup. So she called her local fire department and they sent out the Hazmat Crew to take of the situation. Ted Jefferson (Fire Inspector) said that the surprising substance was not hazardous, turns out it was salt. “It was a test can for the soup company,” said Jefferson.”It’s for quality assurance purposes. The test can apparently signals machines to change the product it is canning. But somehow it got in with the rest of the cans.”

Teacher Hooks on side to make that Money…

Amber Carter from Bellefontaine, Ohio was arrested Tuesday in the parking lot of a motel in Central Ohio. She was charged with misdemeanor prostitution and a felony for “unauthorized use of property.” Authorities learned that Amber has been a fourth grade teacher for over 13 years. Amber would use the school’s computers to setup her afternoon appointments and would even skip the occasional class. I wonder if her rates varied by the class she was skipping?

Bellefontaine City Schools Superintendent Larry Anderson says officials are shocked. He says Carter never received a reprimand in 13 years at the district. She’s now on administrative leave.
