Explosion of man's homemade mileage-booster rattles Downtown Tucson

A man was arrested Thursday morning after a device he was using to get more gas mileage out of his vehicle exploded Downtown.
The explosion was deemed an accident, however, it brought attention to Ben H. Buffalo who had warrants out for his arrest, said Sgt. Mark Robinson, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
He was booked into the Pima County jail on the warrants, Robinson said.
Buffalo, 48, reportedly got instructions on how to the build the hydrogen-creating device on the Internet.



Probably from the same website where that ignorant woman learned how to "cure" her sons cancer with vitamins and ionized water.

Paid Vacation Act?

Alan Grayson to introduce Paid Vacation Act

Rep. Alan Grayson was standing in the middle of Disney World when it hit him: What Americans really need is a week of paid vacation.

So on Thursday, the Florida Democrat will introduce the Paid Vacation Act — legislation that would be the first to make paid vacation time a requirement under federal law.

The bill would require companies with more than 100 employees to offer a week of paid vacation for both full-time and part-time employees after they’ve put in a year on the job. Three years after the effective date of the law, those same companies would be required to provide two weeks of paid vacation, and companies with 50 or more employees would have to provide one week.

The idea: More vacation will stimulate the economy through fewer sick days, better productivity and happier employees.

Hope the shitter wasn't full




Small plane crash-lands into portable potties

Of all things, it had to be a bunch of toilets.

A small plane crashed into a storage yard full of portable potties Friday afternoon near Thun Field just minutes after taking off from the field.

Pilot Clifford Howell of Lake Bay told investigators at about 150 feet in the air, his engine quit. He banked and tried to make it back to the runway, but came up short.

"He just took a nosedive," said witness Brian Berscheid.

"I spoke to him briefly, and he said just lost power, and he was trying to get it down safely," said Pierce County Sgt. Mike Blair.

But the ground came rushing up while the plane was still short of the runway. And by chance, the Cessna went straight into a lot of Honey Buckets on the north end of the airport.


Is it just me or are those outhouses really big?

So you think American politicians are wierd?



Politician admits to leg extension surgery

A Queensland councillor has revealed she flew to Russia to have her legs surgically lengthened because she believed she was too short.

Hajnal Ban, 31, spent $40,000 to extend her 154cm frame by 8cm when she travelled to Siberia eight years ago, Fairfax websites report.

Surgeons broke her leg in four places and inserted metal rings, causing her to grow about 1mm per day over a painful period of nine months.

Cr Ban, then a lawyer, returned to Australia and wrote a book titled God Made Me Small, Surgery Made Me Tall under the pseudonym Sara Vornamen.

The book became a bestseller but her real identity was not revealed until this morning.

"This is purely a personal matter — I don't know what all the fuss is about," Cr Ban was quoted as saying.


Maybe if you didn't want a big fuss a book wasn't the best idea.

Support single moms $1 at a time

More women needing cash go from jobless to topless

As a bartender and trainer at a national restaurant chain, Rebecca Brown earned a couple thousand dollars in a really good week. Now, as a dancer at Chicago's Pink Monkey gentleman's club, she makes almost that much in one good night.


I don't doubt it but you would think in rough economic times there would not be enough disposable income to go to the titty bar. Maybe there was a lawmakers convention in town.

Meanwhile practice at home for your new career with the Electra-Pole

Scary when you click on the store link it is out of stock due to unprecedented demand. Oh well enjoy the demo video.

Dance.

Spin.

Flip upside down. (Can't wait to see the first concussion roll through ER)

When squirrels attack

Workers ordered to walk in pairs as protection against furry fiends

Staff at a UK hospital have been ordered to wear protective headgear and carry an umbrella as a weapon after aggressive squirrels attacked a district nurse.

The hospital also wants workers to walk in pairs amid fears a rampaging squirrel could knock someone unconscious.

The rodents reportedly struck while the nurse was making a home visit to a farm in Langley Park, County Durham.


Okay I am curious what kind of headgear?

Raccoon jerky?

The other dark meat: Raccoon is making it to the table

He rolls into the parking lot of Leon's Thriftway in an old, maroon Impala with a trunk full of frozen meat. Raccoon — the other dark meat.

In five minutes, Montrose, Mo., trapper Larry Brownsberger is sold out in the lot at 39th Street and Kensington Avenue. Word has gotten around about how clean his frozen raccoon carcasses are. How nicely they’re tucked up in their brown butcher paper. How they almost look like a trussed turkey … or something.
...........
The meat is almost ready to be boiled, except for one thing: Although its head, innards and three paws have been removed, it still has one. That’s the law.

"They leave the paw on to prove it's not a cat or a dog," Washington says.


You know the "rat on a stick" we are always talking about at the Chinese place? Well I have a new suspicion.

Yeah I just threw up in my mouth a little too.

Even Dianne Feinstein knows better

Obama's intel picks short on direct experience

President-elect Barack Obama's decision to fill the nation's top intelligence jobs with two men short on direct experience in intelligence gathering surprised the spy community and signaled the Democrat's intention for a clean break from Bush administration policies.


Panetta could face tough questions at his nomination hearing about his background in intelligence. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who will chair the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Monday she was surprised by the pick, and neither was informed nor consulted.

"I know nothing about this, other than what I've read," she said. "My position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time."

The Turtle Man

Everybody has to have a hobby

I have seen an alligator snapping turtle in Louisiana that was the size of a manhole cover so I don't think this would be for me.
