Belarus that borders Poland. Nice going Mr. Fox!
Drop the snow ball or we will shoot! Step away from the snow bank! Two Berlin police officers were pelted by snowballs thrown by a group of about 40 youths but were able to fight them off with pepper spray, police say. The officers were investigating a brawl on an early Saturday morning. They ignored demands from a group of about 25 youths to leave and were then attacked by snowballs. The number of youths throwing snowballs quickly grew to 40.
The officers first retreated but then fought back with the pepper spray, prompting the youths to flee. Many were later arrested. There were no injuries, police said. Take it from me, snowballs can really hurt. If represented them I would demand that they produce the offending snowballs. Since they melted, there was no evidence!
Birds of a feather flock (and decorate) together. Researchers in Florida and Sri Lanka studied the effect of the metal in white ibises' diets to find out why breeding was down. They found the higher the dose of mercury in the wading birds' food pellets, the more likely a male bird was to pair with another male. That explains it, there are huge concentrations of mercury in San Francisco and Key West.
Dr Peter Frederick from the University of Florida, who led the study, said: "We knew mercury could depress their testosterone levels but we didn't expect this. "We're seeing very large reproductive effects at very low concentrations of mercury so we really need to be paying more attention to this."
The team fed the birds on food pellets which contained concentrations of mercury equivalent to those in the shrimp and crayfish that make up their wetland diet. As Seinfeld would say, "Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Talk about crazy! Police have arrested a Pennsylvania man who they say stole two hand-held video game systems and three games from the casket of a teen who was killed in a Christmas Day SUV crash. ?
Thief guilty of stealing from a casket. Police say they got an anonymous tip that enabled them to arrest 37-year-old Jody Lynn Bennett, of Mentcle, on Wednesday. He was unable to post $15,000 bond and was jailed after his arraignment on charges including theft, abuse of a corpse, and intentional desecration of a venerated object.
Police say Bennett grabbed a Game Boy, a Game Boy Light and three games from the casket of 17-year-old Bradley McCombs during a viewing Monday night at a funeral home in Montgomery Township, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Bennett's mother, Sharon, says her son has a drug problem. She apologized for his actions and says he will make a formal apology to the family and also donate his Xbox 360 to charity.
Dumb robber catches himself. An unusual weapon led to a tense, awkward standoff between a market owner and a robber the other day and in the end, the would be robber knocked himself out.As a Manassas, Va., store owner opened his business, a man barged in wielding a really big stick - taller than he was, it appears. A staff, really. As far as police are concerned, it was an armed robbery. The store owner, Jugal Uppal, grabbed a hammer to defend himself.
At one point, the robber jumped the counter. Uppal grabbed the stick but didn't hang on for long. He complied with the robber after being roughed up a little bit. As the robber headed for the door with a reported $13 in quarters and dimes, the store owner threatened to knock him out by throwing the hammer at him. The thief got scared and tried to run through the door but his staff got wedged and he ran into it head-first and knocked himself out cold! I've heard of people making statements and incriminating themselves, but this takes the cake. Teddy Roosevelt said 'speak softly, but carry a big stick. It goes without saying you shouldn't hit yourself with it. Maybe the police will look favorably upon him, because he helped apprehend the criminal.
I've heard of the bank robber that wrote the note to the teller demanding the money on his check stub with his address and phone number. There is no such defense as felony stupid. So once again crime doesn't pay.
