You Want How Much??
|
You gotta give 21-year-old Charles Ray Fuller of Fort Worth, Texas his props. I mean, if you're going to try and pull a scam, why not go BIG?
Fuller decided to walk into a Forth Worth bank, but, what he did next should go down in the annuls of stupid criminal history. He handed one of the tellers a $360 billion check. According to bank employees, the nervy dude informed them that the check had been given to him by his sweetheart's mom, so he could have his very own record company.
Trouble started, though, when the tellers' red flags went up about the authenticity of so huge a check and, sure enough, after contacting the alleged source of the
larger-than-life check, they found that she had never given her daughter's boyfriend any such check to cash.
Either this guy was incredibly dumb or thought bank tellers had low I.Q.'s, because why else would he have actually thought that he could breeze right into a bank and have a $360 billion check get cashed, without it being questioned??
As expected, the Fort Worth cops were called and Fuller was promptly arrested for forgery.
I know they think big in Texas...BUT DANG!!! |

You Are What You Eat
|
Eating out is downright risky this days and a recent, stomach-churning discovery at a Sanford, Florida restaurant proves it..
Drive-in, fast food eaterie Checkers was cited after health officials were alerted about the Sanford location of the popular "chow station" storing boxes of hamburger buns on the floor of its men's restroom. Most of us know that restaurant bathrooms are ripe with bacteria, dirt and things too disgustingly filthy to even think about.
The boxes of buns were allegedly piled high and were not very far from the urinals where guys go to "do their business." So, if you thought that "special sauce" accompanying your Double Champ Burger was a little "gritty" or had a "funny" smell, perhaps this might explain why.
The number of trusting customers who may have been served the repulsive treats is hard to determine right now.
The Sanford area Checkers got cited for 12 violations by the city health department and all of the potentially tainted bread was thrown away.
So far, the Checkers corporate office has been mum regarding this matter, but I'm guessing the manager of the Sanford restaurant location is about to be pounding the pavement for a new job.
Can you say...EWWWWWWWW??

O.J. Gets Rejected
|
If you're one of those folks who thought that Donald Trump would stop at nothing to get better ratings for his television show "The Apprentice", it turns out that you were RIGHT!
O.J. Simpson, America's most despised acquitted murder suspect, came to Trump, with the request that the billionaire consider letting him be a contestant on "The Apprentice." Trump actually gave it some thought, even going to NBC honchos with the idea. I have always thought that "The Donald" was a pretty smart guy, but this was not a bright idea and NBC, thankfully, let him know that O.J. would not be a welcome participant.
Admittedly, it might have helped the program's ratings, because t.v. viewers like to tune in to see people they love to hate.
Still, why should this attention-hog continue to benefit from his notoriety? Before the infamous killings many still think he committed and got away with, Simpson was relegated to being a D-list actor. Apparently, he appears to think that the murder trial was a boost to his "career."
Guess "The Juice" will just have to forget "The Apprentice" and prepare for his upcoming trial in Las Vegas for that dumb incident he staged a few months back.

Who Hires These People?
|
It's yet another news story about adult school employees doing something else to help launch another kid into endless years of future therapy.
Allegedly, two Florida "classroom employees" -( no one will reveal whether or not they are teachers)- were unable to get a classroom full of hyper first-graders under the proper control. So, how did they decide to conquer this particular problem? Why, by strapping a little 7-year-old tot into a chair and then putting tape over her little mouth, of course.
What was the next step, to put bamboo shoots under her tiny little fingernails?
Once school officials were alerted about this suspected infraction, they pulled the two "adult employees" out of their classrooms and say that an investigation is underway. Law enforcement is involved, as well, with finding out exactly what transpired.
My question is...who hired these two individuals? If you can't control a room full of 7-years-olds, why are you even in the teaching profession? How they determined that treating a child as though she were a POW was an appropriate means of discipline is unbelievable!
There really are a lot of good teachers out there who do a super job with kids, but these two sadistic wretches aren't among them. |

Star Jones-Reynolds and Husband to Untie the Knot
|
Anybody who watched The View when the opinionated Star Jones was one of the co-hosts probably still remembers her going on ad nauseam about her wedding plans at the time. Viewers and fellow hosts were forced- to listen to her describe every excruciating detail of her extravagant upcoming nuptials to "soulmate" Al Reynolds and hear her hawk shamelessly for sponsorships from advertisers.
It was this very thing that contributed to her losing favor with the "queen mother" of The View- Barbara Walters- and having little choice except to quit, before she could be officially fired. Rumors have always been rampant about her marriage being less than blissful, but Jones-Reynolds always denied them,adamantly. She even threatened to sue anybody in the media who dared to suggest otherwise.
Apparently, the ruse is up.
According to reports, she filed for divorce on March 26, after nearly four years of marriage. The once plus-size lawyer/ hostess must have had some doubts, since she made sure her soon-to-be-ex signed a pre-nup prior to their union.
It hasn't been a good year for the formerly Rubenesque Jones Reynolds.
Her Court TV gig was canceled in February and she doesn't seem to be in the same demand she once was.
Hopefully, she won't feel compelled to share the specifics of her upcoming divorce to the world.
I think we've suffered enough!

This May Be Going Overboard!
|
You can't fault public schools for trying to make the environment safer for students, but, in their quest to accomplish this, some schools are becoming outrageously paranoid.
A prime example of this is a Virginia elementary school- Kent Gardens Elementary- which recently banned the playing of the age old game of "Tag" for being played during recess. The learning institution's principal believes the game was getting way too aggressive,since it involved pushing, shoving and shouting, "You're it."
Uh- isn't that the way you're supposed to play "Tag"?
While some parents champion the principal's actions, other parents think it is much ado about nothing and that the school is taking this matter way too far. "Tag" is only the latest on a list of childhood games the entire school system of that city has banned, deeming them as too "risky."
The elementary school's principal is considering restoring "Tag" to her school's playground, but with a kinder, gentler version I suppose they'll just lightly tickle each other with ostrich feathers next time around.
Don't know what your opinion is, but I think today's schools ought to spend less time trying to over-regulate innocent recess games and spend more time weeding out all the child molesters they hire to teach.

Keepin' It Real...NOT!
|
35-year-old hip hop sensation Akon has drawn fans around the world to his rap music. They like his in-your-face lyrics and are intrigued by his history of thugdom (always a must for a successful rapper's reputation!)
The Sengalese-born rapper has puffed up his street cred with two top-selling albums, as well as with interviews, in which he described his 4-1/2 years in the "Big House."
It was during this time that he allegedly started creating rap songs.
It turns out that Akon may have been "embellishing" on his life story. His past criminal exploits were limited to a gun possession charge and stealing a BMW. He got no time for the first charge and charges were eventually dropped for the second offense, though he did spend a couple of months behind bars for that one.
This guy is a performer who has sold millions of albums, gotten major respect from the hip hop community, been on the covers of top music industry magazines and received accolades for his work, all fueled by their belief in his checkered past.
While Akon may have been a petty criminal, he never even came close to being the major "gangsta" he claims to be.

A Safer way to go under the knife?
|
A hypnotherapist from the UK underwent a surgery to pull a chunk of bone from his wrist. "So what", you say? He did it without any anaesthesia!!! Ouch!!! He put himself into a trance, what he calls Hypnoanaesthesia.
I'm sorry, but that was brave. I couldn't imagine doing it...give me the drugs! Apparently, this practice has been successful with other procedures, including childbirth and heart surgery. The catch is, you have to believe in the techique for it to work on you. That's a scary thought!

Some People Are Just So Particular!
|
If you have ever roomed with somebody else or are currently doing so, you know that there are occasions when you find yourselves clashing over a few matters with each other. This is a very common occurrence, when different human beings with their own set of quirks and individual habits are sharing the same small space. Most of the times, though, you pretty much manage to work things out, right?
Sometimes, though, things can get out of hand, such as with the following screwy situation:
On April 5th, a 20-year-old Philadelphia man apparently got ticked off in a major way with his roommate, a 64-year-old woman.. According to the cops, he knifed her repeatedly, after committing assault against her, then wedged her linen-wrapped, bloodied corpse on the floor near her bed,where she lay for several days. Of course, he went about business as usual until the deed was discovered by police.
What, you ask, could have prompted such a crime?
It seems that the two argued over how to wash a glass the right way. Obviously, the guy had a difference of opinion with his roommate on the proper manner to do this
Wonder how well he'll get along with his cell mate?

The Subway Cemetary!
|
Apparently, the bottom of the ocean serves as the burial ground for retired NYC subway cars. What a waste! So now we're providing fish with shelter? Couldn't someone find a way to use at least some of these to provide shelter for some of the millions of homeless people we have here in America, especially in New York? Maybe, I'm not being practical. Oh well! It wouldn't be the first time!

Young Whippersnapper Cons Old Folks
|
Life in a nursing home can be a pretty depressing and boring one for many older people. Apparently, some seniors at a Jackson, Florida nursing facility were getting so fed up that they decided to spice up their dreary lives a little bit by trying to get some crack cocaine. Residents of the Golden Retreat Shelter Care Center expected to get a major buzz on, when they purchased what appeared to be a white substance from a 22-year-old "dealer."
It was not to be, however.
The young con artist, it turns out, took their money, but betrayed their trust. What they believed to be crack wasn't the real deal at all. The deceiving dude just shoved some hard pieces of bread into Tylenol bottles and sold them for 5 bucks a pop to the gleeful oldsters on the days their Social Security checks arrived.
Somebody alerted the proper authorities of the ruse and the bogus "drug lord" was arrested for his dastardly actions, leaving some ticked off and very embarrassed elderly folks behind, minus their money and minus the high they had eagerly been anticipating.
Guess they'll just have to settle for a few games of canasta to get their thrills from now on. |

Future Gangsta?
|
If you're a parent, you know that sometimes you and your significant other don't always agree on how to raise little Bubba, Jr. or Susie Lou. With that idea in mind, a recent news story came out of Denver about two young parents with a difference of opinion over their cute toddler.
Apparently, Mama and Daddy were at odds about which gang the little darling should join up with. Moms is a proud member of the notorious Crips gang, while Pops is equally proud of his association with the tough Westside Ballers. The couple got into a heated debate over which group of deviant criminals should introduce their baby boy into a life of thugdom and violence.
Their argument got so nasty, in fact, that the baby's father was arrested by the Denver P.D., due to threatening his girlfriend (and the "baby mama") in the video store where she was gainfully employed. (Hey, you gotta have a J-O-B to be able to afford those guns and bullets, right?)
No further details on which gang the parents decided on, but, you can be pretty certain that their son will be holding up a liquor store somewhere near you in the near future. |

Octopuses are a lot like us!
|
Recent studies have shown that some Octopuses(Octopi) are jealous and scandalous in their natural habitats.
Researchers have observed a species of octopus(Abdopus aculeatus) that exhibits murderous and jealous behavior in it's short lifetime. This particular octopus seeks out a mate and then guards her like the President, occasionally strangling to death potential rival suitors with its tentacles. Some males were even observed acting like a female to avoid being spotted while attempting to close the deal with a potential conquest. And after mating and birth, both the male and female die. Their lifespan is only 1 year.
Now that's weird!
