Intelligence blah, blah, blah. There wasn't going to be an attack because unlike 10 years ago, the security precautions and procedures that we have had for decades were actually in place, like NORAD for example.

Real Life Weekend at Bernie's :laughing:

Quote:
DENVER, Colo. -- Two men accused of driving around with a dead friend, using his ATM card and visiting a strip club are charged with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation.

Robert Jeffrey Young and Mark Rubinson are free on bond but they couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.

It's unclear how Jeffrey Jarrett died, but the men are not charged in his death.

The Denver Post reports that in a less amusing real-life version of the film "Weekend at Bernie's," an affidavit accuses Young and Rubinson of leaving Jarrett's body in the car while they drank at a bar on his tab Aug. 27.

Investigators allege the men stopped at a restaurant, returned Jarrett's body to his home, used Jarrett's ATM card and withdrew $400 at a strip club before reporting Jarrett's death.

I honestly feel sorry for the dude, I would have cut him a slice of pumpkin pie had it been my house he broke into. Hell, I would get some weed and watch some Christmas specials with the dude.

Wayne Joshua Mitchell dies after eating cocaine from brother's butt to hide evidence | Mail Online

I preferred the headline "Man Eats Cocaine From Brother's Butt, Dies".

Zaqarbal 12-29-2011 11:48 AM
Yep, I didn't know it was already posted here. BTW, "Brothers in sh*t" would be a good headline too.

Paedantic Basterd 12-29-2011 12:24 PM
I think "Brother Dies From Crack Cocaine" would do the trick.

debaserr 12-29-2011 01:24 PM

I went to a church as a kid where that happened a lot. Someone would just start laughing and it spread. You don't know what you're laughing at or why, but it's as unavoidable as yawn contagion.
Preachers like to call it being "drunk in the holy spirit", but I'm leaning more toward a psychological phenomenon...

That reminds me of this recent video where two women do an experiment to see if their laughter is catching in a public place:



Fairly certain these people weren't drinking any holy spirit.

Look at the second photo of one of the guys busted for cooking meth:

Both the article and the situation is hilarious. I wonder if it was really all Slovaks voting on that one, though, what with it being an internet thing... And how did he ever become a candidate in the first place? I'm scared.

Nicolas Cage Photo Instead of a Resume -- Not a Successful Strategy for Getting a Job, It Turns Out - At Work - WSJ

Quote:
Everyone makes email blunders, but in Vanessa Hojda’s case, mistakenly attaching a photo of actor Nicolas Cage to a job application has made her an instant celebrity online.

Hojda, a 20-year-old student at York University in Toronto, inadvertently became the object of the Web’s attention this week after emailing her school’s career center about an administrative assistant job. Instead of uploading her résumé and cover letter, however, she accidentally attached a startling photo of actor Nicolas Cage.

Well, she goes to York University. Nobody expects very much of them anyways, lol. That school is also a hotbed for sexual assaults - three separate incidents in the last week alone. So glad I never went there.

Based on that photo I think Nic Cage might be the perp.

Nick Cage was a good actor, now he's only watchable for his hilarious overacting.

The Batlord 07-12-2012 09:56 AM
I'd have hired her just in case she was actually Nicholas Cage. Then I could come home to my (nonexistent) wife and complain about how Nicholas Cage stole my ham sandwich out of the break room fridge and how Nicholas Cage doesn't wash his hands when he goes to the bathroom and how Nicholas Cage sucks up to the boss and gets all his work dumped on me and how Nicholas Cage took my parking space and how Nicholas Cage keeps calling me "slugger" 'cause he can't remember my name.

"He probably would not have been very easy to see at all," said Jim Schneider, a state trooper.

A 15-year-old girl hit him with her car, another car swerved, and a third car driven by a 17-year-old ran him over, CNN affiliate KECI reported.

Tenley was "well into the driving lane," and according to his companions he was "attempting to incite a sighting of Bigfoot -- to make people think they had seen a Sasquatch," Schneider said in the KECI report.

But authorities received no calls from drivers thinking they had seen Bigfoot, the station reported.
From here. Also, is it just me or is this story really poorly written?
