`A Glens Falls man was charged with burglary early Saturday after he allegedly walked into another man’s home, started cooking pork chops and used the bathroom, police said.
Michael E. Dunlay, 37, of 39D Cherry St. faces a felony charge of second-degree burglary and misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief and petit larceny, Glens Falls Police Capt. Kevin Conine said.
The resident of the Pine Street apartment building arrived home about 12:15 a.m. Saturday to find a man he knew only by a first name in his bathroom with food cooking on the stove, Conine said. Dunlay apparently lived in the same building at one time, he said.’
`British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band The Clash, police said Wednesday.
Detectives halted the London-bound flight at Durham Tees Valley Airport in northern England and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off. [..]
Mann told British newspapers the taxi had been fitted with a music system which allowed him to plug in his MP3 player and he had been playing The Clash, Procol Harum, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles to the driver.
“He didn’t like Led Zeppelin or The Clash but I don’t think there was any need to tell the police,” Mann told the Daily Mirror.’
`Radiohead’s Thom Yorke calls the music industry “a bunch of fucking retards” in this week’s issue of NME.
The singer has launched a scathing attack on record companies and radio stations as he believes they are only just now looking at the internet for new talent.
Speaking about Arctic Monkeys’ rise to fame, Yorke said: “A good thing for new music would be more of the mainstream loosening up a bit and letting stuff through. Radio 1 won’t play anything fucking decent. You need to sort the radio out.”
He added: “The fact that poor Arctic Monkeys are getting so much attention is purely based on the fact that the mainstream music business is such a bunch of fucking retards as far as I’m concerned.”‘
`A NSW Police blunder has led to a database of email passwords – including those of the anti-terrorism chief and hundreds of journalists – published on the internet.
The names, email addresses and passwords of as many as 800 people who signed up to receive NSW Police media releases are listed on the database.
The list includes the password and email details of two of the state’s most senior counter-terrorism police officers, newly appointed Assistant Commissioner Nick Kaldas and Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Jenkins.
Mr Kaldas is regarded as the foremost terrorism expert among Australia’s police services.’

`Edinburgh Castle is to be smeared with rancid milk and mouldy orange peel to drive away vandals.
Officials are daubing the walls of the castle with a foul formula made of sour milk, orange peel, soya beans and corn to drive away graffiti artists. The fruit and veg-based repellent stops paint from fixing to the walls, without damaging the ancient stones.’
`Anne Arundel County in Maryland has been running five red light cameras for five years, during which period they raised a fat $2.85 million in ticket revenue. Unfortunately, a comparison of accident statistics shows that the cameras have increased the rate of accidents.
Immediately after installation, the cameras sparked a 40-percent increase in rear-end collisions, and never looked back, with five-year increases in accident rates far exceeding a 10-percent increase in traffic.
Unfortunately, this is hardly an isolated phenomenon. TheNewspaper.com reports similar results in the state of Georgia, where the city of Duluth’s one and only camera is forecast to generate a whopping $1 million next year, at the cost of a 21-percent increase in accidents. A study by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution showed red light cameras were linked to an increase in accidents, injuries and revenues across the state, although there is early indication that the rate of serious accidents in intersections is falling.’
`So, here’s the story… I said to my girlfriend that any stupid website could get tons of hits, simply because people are bored all the time. She said that I was an idiot and couldn’t make a website that could get tons of hits if I wanted to. After a long argument (mostly centered around the fact that she called me an idiot) we made a bet:
If I could not make a website to get 2,000,000 hits, I would agree that I was an idiot; however, if I could make a website to get 2,000,000 hits, she would have a menage a trois (that’s a threesome to you non french-speakers) with me and another girl. I thought she was kidding at the time, but then she said she was so sure of herself, that she would even put it in writing. This of course is an ultra-binding contract.’
At the time of posting he’s up to 2,238,916 hits. It’s gangbangin’ time. 🙂
`A test drive meant more than just a spin around the block for a New Zealand teen-ager who took a car he was considering buying on a 312-mile drive.
Police in Timaru, about 62 miles southwest of Christchurch, said the 16-year-old boy returned the car after taking it on the lengthy test drive over the weekend.
The boy will not face any charges as the owner did not stipulate any conditions for the test drive, police said on Wednesday.’
Not safe for work if you win.
`Talk radio and blogs are taking aim at a University of Texas biology professor because of a published report suggesting he advocates death for most of the human population as a means of saving the Earth.
However, Eric Pianka says his remarks about his beliefs were taken out of context, that he was just raising a warning that deadly disease epidemics are a threat if population growth isn’t contained.
“What we really need to do is start thinking about controlling our population before it’s too late,” he said Monday. “It’s already too late, but we’re not even thinking about it. We’re just mindlessly rushing ahead breeding our brains out.”‘

`A preimiership star had to miss a match – after scalding his privates with boiling water.
Sunderland and Scotland striker Kevin Kyle was feeding eight-month-old son Max when the accident happened.
He had the youngster perched on his knee, while holding a jug of hot water to warm up a bottle of milk. But Max slipped and booted the jug – splashing water in his dad’s lap.
It is understood to have burnt Kyle’s testicles and his inner thigh.
He went to hospital and was kept in overnight for observation.’
`An Indian movie director said he hopes to persuade Paris Hilton to play the role of Nobel laureate and prospective Catholic Saint, Mother Teresa, in an upcoming film.
“Her features resemble Mother Teresa,” director T. Rajeevnath told AFP from the southwestern coastal state of Kerala.
The filmmaker said Hilton is on his shortlist after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between the hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun.’
`Victoria Lundy, 41, in custody in Chillicothe, Ohio, in January for a barroom shooting, apparently smuggled her gun into the jail at the time of her arrest by putting it inside her vagina. A shot was fired in a holding cell, and according to a fellow prisoner interviewed by the Chillicothe Gazette, the gun had gone off when Lundy sat down on a bench in the cell. (No one was hit.)’

`A naked man suffered burns to one-fifth of his body when he tried to set fire to a spider at a nudist resort in the NSW southern highlands.
The 56-year-old Sydney man tried to kill what he thought was a funnel web spider by pouring petrol down the spider’s burrow and igniting it with a match, the NRMA CareFlight service said.

`Part of a teacher’s hand was blown off when a 40 mm round the instructor used as a paperweight on his desk exploded in his classroom.
Robert Colla struck the round with an object Monday afternoon while teaching 20 to 25 students at the Ventura Adult Education Center on Valentine Road.
Part of Colla’s right hand was severed and he suffered severe burns and minor shrapnel wounds to his forearms and torso, fire Capt. Tom Weinell said. No one else was injured. [..]
Colla found the 40 mm round while hunting years ago, Huston [another teacher] said. He used it as a paperweight and “obviously he didn’t think the round was live,” Huston said.’
`In a rare discussion about the severity of the Windows malware scourge, a Microsoft security official said businesses should consider investing in an automated process to wipe hard drives and reinstall operating systems as a practical way to recover from malware infestation.
“When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs, the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit,” Mike Danseglio, program manager in the Security Solutions group at Microsoft, said in a presentation at the InfoSec World conference here.’
`An man who had his Porsche stolen more than a week ago has been frustrated by seeing the car being driven around town, police say.
The red Porsche 928 was taken from Thebarton in Adelaide on March 27 and since then has been seen a number of times.
“It was even spotted by the owner a couple of days ago,” a police spokesman said.’
`A Swedish doctor who has previously been cautioned in Sweden for using a controversial ‘anal massage’ technique to cure various kinds of pain has been fired from his job in Norway – for the second time.
The man, who also runs a private clinic in Gothenburg, described his dismissal as part of a witch-hunt against him, and said that his technique is successful.
Several years ago, the man was warned by Sweden’s Medical Responsibility Board (HSAN) on at least three occasions, after treating an elderly woman’s headaches and back pain with his method. At the time he was working in the Stockholm area.’
`Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. Apparently at the speaker’s direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest’s may be the only record of what was said. Forrest’s account of what he witnessed chilled my soul. Astonishingly, Forrest reports that many of the Academy members present gave the speaker a standing ovation. To date, the Academy has not moved to sanction the speaker or distance itself from the speaker’s remarks.’
`You know how it is: you’ve got a 30-inch cock but your wife’s box is only six inches. The only intelligent solution is to offer the box for sale on eBay, as this Wisconsin vendor attempted to do [..]’
eBay apparently keeps pulling the auction because it contains profanity, but the latest attempt is here: I’m selling my wife’s box 3rd try w/can no profanity!!
`I’m selling my wife’s box, I tried to before but ebay pulled it. I’m selling her box because as you can see from the pictures, my cock doesn’t fit in her box. If I try and shove it in any further I will tear her box and she doesn’t want that. We have tried in the past to get rid of her box but have had no luck. She gave her box to the neighbor twice, but he returned it. Then she tried to give it to the mailman, but he said he rather have my cock. Please help us out. I will ship her box to anywhere in the world. I will only charge up to actual shipping cost. My cock is only pictured as a reference and not included. The box measures about 6 inches tall and 4 3/4 inches wide and deep.’
He’s throwing in her can aswell now, because the head of his cock won’t fit into the hole of her can.

`British scientists report observing some of the largest waves ever measured — reportedly so big, some computer models indicate they shouldn’t even exist.
The observations occurred Feb. 8, 2000, aboard the Royal Research Ship Discovery during a scientific expedition to the North Atlantic, 155 miles west of Scotland, when a series of gigantic waves hammered the vessel. [..]
The Discovery’s crew witnessed waves of up to 95 feet from trough to crest — the highest waves ever measured by a scientific instrument on the open sea, according to an article the scientists published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
The new data may be troubling for shipbuilders, said der Spiegel, since the scientists’ data suggest giant waves may be much more common than has been thought.’
