When you think of being in the first grade, you think of sweet, innocent little tots learning to read, spell and count, coloring adorable pictures, making cute remarks and skipping around during recess.
I guess things have changed, however, if what happened recently in a Pembroke Pines, Florida elementary school is any indication.
Allegedly, a 7-year-year did a shakedown of a fellow first-grader by robbing him in the school restroom, as he held a knife to the poor tyke's nose.

His take? One buck.
It seems that the little thug-in-training got the weapon he used in his mini-robbery from home. One can only speculate what other kind of things he must have been learning at home.
The tiny victim of the crime told his mom what happened and she reported it school authorities. They suspended the wee perpetrator for 10 days and the likelihood is that he will be put in an "alternative" school.
Oh, great. Now, he can be negatively influenced by older kids who are even worse than he is! This kid needs serious help!
It hasn't been decided whether or not he will be charged with a criminal offense.
Who needs a Superman action figure when you can have one of the most famous psychoanalyst who ever lived? You'll have loads of fun putting this little feller in various poses and pretending that he is treating you for an Oedipal Complex.

Internet chat rooms can be a place to meet new people who share common interests and who want a place to freely express their opinions. They can also open the door to things that are not so good.
A sad example of this is a 19-year-old teen who committed suicide, while others watched, as he did the act on webcam. He had posted his plans on the chat room forum earlier and other members responded by making fun of him and deriding him with cruel comments, even encouraging him to go through with it.
Allegedly, they thought he wasn't serious and that it was some type of joke.
Even when the 1,500 spectators saw him taking the pills that eventually caused his death, many continued to post nasty remarks and to sit back and watch the event taking place, without contacting anybody for help. They reportedly watched for hours until they finally concluded that it was, in fact, not a hoax, which is when they finally contacted somebody who informed the cops in his area.
They got there too late, though, and found the 19-year-old expired.
Believe it or not, some viewers continued to crack jokes, expressing absolutely no remorse.
Besides being just a scuzzy thing to do, here's one more reason that having an affair with the wife of someone who has access to large construction equipment might not be a very smart thing to do!
While you know that there just has to be some logical explanation of how Chriss Angel pulls off these kinds of tricks, it beats the heck out of me just how he does it.
See if you can figure it out after watching this totally amazing video!
Don't think this guy will have a problem with anybody tailgating his vehicle.

Now, there's a profession I always thought was recession-proof!

If you're an inmate serving time in the "big house" in Montreal, you may be able to find a clever way to get out and you don't even have to plan a prison break to do it.
How?
Just eat...and eat and eat and eat, until you become so grossly corpulent, so belly-busting huge, so amazingly gargantuan that you become too fat to fit into your prison cell.
That is what happened in the case of one "lucky" 37-year-old big guy, originally sentenced to a 5-year prison term for an act of lawlessness.
Seems that "Big Mike", as he was popularly known, was probably not spending his free time lifting weights in his facility's gym or attempting self-improvement, but scarfing down the chow and expanding his already large body mass.
Mikey's size became such a problem that he was unable to fit in his prison cell's chair or fit into his tiny bed properly. There simply was not enough room for him.
The solution?
When other prisons were also unable to accommodate the bug guy, the authorities decided to let the guy go free.
Wonder if this will make prisoners start putting down the barbells and gulping down the carbs?
Most of us are familiar with the email scam that involves a message being sent from somebody claiming to be a government official or member of the royal family from a third world country or a long-lost relative of the email recipient, etc.. The "Nigerian" scam is one of the oldest cons in the book, but, believe it or not, there are actually people who still get sucked into it.
The person sending the email supposedly says, due to security threats, he needs a way to safely transfer a few million dollars worth of funds to a bank account outside his country, so he implores you to "help" by sending a big fee and your checking account information and you will get 10-30% of these millions wired to your account.
When a registered nurse from Oregon received one of these emails, she fell for it hook line and sinker, told to wire $8,200 and she would be wired millions
After the so-called "transfer" of millions was delayed, she sent more money after promises that there would be a larger reward. This went on for two years before she realized she was being scammed.
Firefighters are heroic figures. They put their lives on the line to help put out fires and rescue people. They show courage in the face of tremendously dangerous situations. These are people we revere, because of what they do.
Unfortunately, there are always a few individuals who come along to tarnish the image of their profession.
Such was the recent case of a 19-year-veteran of the Prince George's Fire Department in the D.C,/Maryland area.
So, what exactly did he do?
The 42-year-old firefighter allegedly set fire to an area behind an Asian restaurant in the wee hours, just before going to work one early November morning. He apparently did not count on the fact that there were security cameras around, which recorded him burning paper near the rear exit of the establishment.
Believe it or not, the firefighting arsonist returned to the scene of his crime, except he came next time around in his job capacity, to help put out the fire he had started.
Once the surveillance tapes disclosed the truth, he was arrested and jailed. His colleagues are still trying to figure out his motives for trying to torch the Asian takeout place,
