Wow, this Virg Bernero guy seems a little crazy when watching this video clip – Not only does he lash out at the Fox News anchor, he doesn’t even answer the questions that are asked – its like he’s in his own little world. He seems to have an agenda that he wants to talk about and doesn’t care about the irrelevance to the particular questions.

So you have decided to live a life of crime – stealing cars, mugging people, armed robbery, and all that bad stuff. Whats the best way to escape being busted by the police? Well, you may think it’s turning yourself into a Goat, but the police are onto that trick – at least in Nigeria.

When I read this story I was sure it was direct from the presses over at the Onion, but after seeing it at Reuters and Yahoo News, I suspect ths story is true – sorta.

You can read the full story over at Yahoo News, but the jist of it is that a group of vigilantes hauled a goat into a police station in Nigeria claiming it was an armed robber who turned himself into a goat to escape arrest after attempting to steal a Mazda 323.

Apparently this goat is still in police custody – yet another reason I am glad to be Canadian.

I have a hard time believing the incompetence of the Chicago police force. How on earth is it possible for a 14 year old to successfully impersonate a police officer to the point where the precinct issued him an assignment and uniform. Are you kidding me?

After a 5 hour patrol he was finally discovered when officers noticed that he didn’t have an official star.

The teen has been charged with impersonating an officer and will be tried as a juvenile.

A tumor found in a newborns brain contained a foot, according to a story over at MSN Health & Fitness

I find it hard to believe, but strange things happen!

A doctor operating on a 3 day old to remove a brain tumor discovered a nearly perfect foot, hand, and thigh growing out of the newborns brain. It is believed that it was a case of “fetus in fetu” – a situation where a twin forms within another – a very rare case, and even more rare to have it occur in the brain.

I must say, this is rather freaky. I have heard of many strange cases of conjoined twins and birth defects, but this is the first I have heard of something like this. Makes me wonder what would have happened with the foot had the tumor gone unnoticed.

I have to say, I am not entirely sure if this is a joke, or if it is a legit interview.

In the wake of a shipping mishap off the cost of Australia, “Senator Collins” was interviewed. I am not sure how to describe the interview, so it is best if you just watch it.

Its interesting though – I am about 95% convinced it is a parody similar to something you would see on AirFarce, or even Saturday Night Live, or something, but 5% of me thinks, it just may be real… You be the judge, watch the video then vote!

Employees are suing for unpaid overtime resulting from a lengthy boot time of Windows Vista according to The Register.

A number of lawsuits have resulted against major US companies, but primarily call centers are the worst offenders. It seems that employees use time-keeping systems in their PC’s and can not official clock in for work until their computer has fully booted – in some cases taking as long as 15 minutes. The same time lag is also present when employees shut down their machines at the end of they day, accounting for a total of around 2 hours a week of unpaid time.

Total damages could run into millions of dollars – probably would have been cheaper just to install more ram or faster CPU’s in the first place.

Now, I have Vista, and while there are glitches that annoy me, the boot up time is not anywhere near 15 minutes. At times, when it seems to be taking forever, the lag is usually about 2 minutes max, so I am not sure what’s up with these vastly underpowered machines that are taking 15 minutes – regardless, these employees really should be paid for their time, even if it is waiting for the computer.

My question is, how much work time is wasted each week by Vista users circumnavigating glitches in the OS?

Now I’ve heard it all…

Read about this earlier today in The Herald. Usually when there is a police chase, it’s the result of some felon trying to escape his evil doings associated with robbery, murder, drugs, or something along those lines. This is the first time I have heard of one instigated by a man making sweet sweet love to a pasta jar.

Over in Australia police approached a vehicle stopped in a no-parking zone. When they pulled up to the car with their lights flashing, suspect, Keith Roy Weatherley sped away. Police followed in a high speed pursuit, at times reaching a lightning fast 20 km/h (about 12 MPH for all your American readers).

The chase lasted about 10 minutes when Weatherley was finally stopped – he refused to leave the car. Using batons and capsicum spray, they removed him from the vehicle and found a 750ml jar around his “special purpose”, which he continued to use to pleasure himself while police wrestled him to the ground.

After searching his car, police found pornography, a home made sex toy, women’s stockings, and a Jack Russell terrier.

He was fined $600.

You just can’t make this stuff up!

Yahoo News Canada reports that a seventh severed foot has been found on the BC Shoreline along the Straight of Georgia.

The latest find showed the remains of a left foot found inside a New Balance runner, however, it has not yet been confirmed if the remains in this case are human – is it really that hard to tell?

Apparently a right foot was found in a New Balance runner back in May, but police are not saying yet if this shoe is linked to the one found this week – I guess they first need to determine the species of the recent discovery.

In previous finds, two shoes (and feet) found on Feb 8th and June 16th were in deed a match.

This foot marks a total of 7 feet to be found since August of 2007. Officials claim that this most recent foot does appear to have separated naturally. Forensic pathologist and former chief medical examiner, Dr. John Butt notes that the foot and leg will separate naturally from a body in the ground or in water if given enough time. (The same goes for arms, legs, and the head, which will naturally detach.) The feet however, as they are within buoyant sneakers, are what typically turn up on the shoreline. Wonder where the 8th foot is?

It sounds like these feed all have belonged to people who have gone missing in the past, and not detached by some crazy lunatic, but regardless it’s still a little creepy. I think this coming weekend I am going to get my name and address tattooed on the soles of my feet with a “postage paid return to sender” note. If you find one, just drop it in the mailbox.

Please Canada, I’m too pretty for jail, don’t lock me up!

I don’t think I really have much to worry about, but over in Italy a judge has ruled that blogging is the same as publishing an unregistered newspaper – something that is punishable by fines and jail time, 250 Euros and up to two years behind bars! Since the ruling back in September, a second blogger has also been taken down by the Italian government!

It’s rather interesting. Citizens do have the right to free speech dating back to 1948, however, there is also a law in place that contradicts this staging that publishers mush officially register their new publications. How many bloggers in Italy do you think have their blogs officially registered? I am guessing none.

If you look deeper into Italian laws, apparently the vast majority of Italian websites are technically illegal! This means that there are an estimated 5 million illegal websites floating around out there – I hope Italy has a lot of vacant prison cells for all these hardened criminals.

(The Register goes into far more detail, so to learn more about this be sure to take a look)

It’s a sad day for pet lovers around the world. According to MSNBC the world’s ugliest dog (if you can call him that) has died. ‘Gus’ won the title back in June and after a battle with cancer is off to the big dog house in the sky.

Gus was a Chinese crested with a missing eye and a missing leg. You can see by the picture that he had one heck of a face, one only a mother… well… a blind mother, could love.

This poor dog did have one heck of a tough life. Things only started to improve after he was rescued from a bad home. Apparently he was kept in a crate inside someone’s garage. One leg had to be amputated due to a skin tumor, and his left eye was lost in a cat fight.

While I try to write this with a little bit of senseless humor, it really is a sad story. Poor ugly thing – Even though I never met you, you’ll be missed.
