Bank robber exposed by exploding trousers

`Kenneth Ray Brooks marched into Centura Bank and declared: “I’m holding down the joint,” police reports record. He then “stuffed a stack of bills into his waistband and pushed the money down out of view”, and quickly exited the scene tailed by a bank employee.

Sadly, Brooks didn’t get far before a dye-pack concealed in the loot exploded. Police spokeswoman Sgt. Barbara Jones explained: “Witnesses said they could see smoke coming out of his pants.” Officers attending the scene quickly identified the perp by “his discomfort and bright red dye on both hands”.

Brooks, identified by bank employees and CCTV footage of the blag, was taken to police headquarters for questioning and later “walked very slowly to a waiting ambulance with the help of police officers and firefighters”. He then enjoyed a trip to the local hospital “as a result of possible burning injuries to his person”.’

DO NOT EAT PRINGLES FAT FREE POTATO CHIPS. THEY WILL GREASE YOUR ASS.

`Don’t even fucking say a word. I like potato chips, and can’t eat them very much or I’ll get fat.

I tried out these Pringles Fat-Free chips because they were super low-cal. BBQ flavor. the fuck.

The can said they had 70 calories per serving, which meant the whole can had 490 calories inside total. I could munch through a can in a day with my lunch, dinner, etc. So I got several cans, and began enjoying one a day for the past four days. But what they dont fucking tell you…

Except in tiny print you cant read without a fucking electron microscope

…is that the primary ingredient is something called “olean” which I have since learned is Latin for “Unwashable & Indestructible Ass Grease.”‘

Saddam’s cartoon torture

`Toppled dictator Saddam Hussein is being tormented in jail – by being forced to watch himself in South Park.

The evil tyrant is portrayed in the movie version of the cult cartoon as the Devil’s gay lover.

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut was banned in Iraq on its launch in 1999 for showing Saddam as a homosexual. [..]

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone yesterday revealed Saddam is made to watch the movie “repeatedly” by the US Marines guarding him.’

Polar Bear Genitals are Shrinking

`The icecap may not be the only thing shrinking in the Arctic. The genitals of polar bears in east Greenland are apparently dwindling in size due to industrial pollutants.

Scientists report this shrinkage could, in the worst case scenario, endanger polar bears there and elsewhere by spoiling their love lives and causing their numbers to peter out. [..]

The adult polar bear testicles the researchers examined were on average roughly three inches across and 1.8 ounces in weight, although they could dramatically enlarge during the height of sexual activity from January to July. Their bacula, or penis bones, were on average nearly seven inches long.’

Speeding fines may come to sudden halt

`Every speed camera fine issued by the Roads and Traffic Authority since 1999 may be invalid, after a judge ruled the photos used to convict drivers were meaningless.

The decision in the Sydney District Court by Judge John Nicholson, SC, could cost the State Government hundreds of millions of dollars, said Dennis Miralis, the solicitor who won the case. [..]

He found that to be given weight as evidence the digital cameras that took the photos had to be calibrated every day. The authority calibrated its cameras once a year, Mr Miralis said.

He said every person convicted on such evidence since 1999 – when digital cameras came in – had been improperly convicted.’

Google is No. 1 search on AOL

`Out of more than 36 million search queries that hundreds of thousands of AOL users typed into AOL’s Internet search engine from March to May, here is the term most queried: Google.

That so many customers would use one search engine to find another is among the odd truths being mined from AOL’s public release of search data. The company last week called the incident involving 658,000 users’ queries a “screw-up” and apologized. But for better or worse, the data offer the first widespread public glimpse of how people search the Internet, of what they are interested in. Of how people think.’

Judge Tosses ‘Tiger Man’ Lawsuit

Police removed the 10-foot-long tiger, Ming, and an alligator, Al, from Yates’ East Harlem apartment. Yates served 3 1/2 months in jail after pleading guilty to reckless endangerment. [..]
