Adding Insult to Injury...er...Fatality
Back on January 3rd, 19 year old Michael Newby was shot and killed by a police officer in Louisville,KY. Michael has now been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, assault, and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Although he is dead, the charges had to be filed because federal regulations require updated crime reports.
Michael Newby had no comment regarding the charges.

Just Hanging Around the Cloakroom
Jason Schoenberger is the kind of teacher you DEFINITELY want molding the young minds of our future. He wanted to play a really funny joke on one of the other teachers at PS278 in Canarsie NY, so he took a 5 year old student and hung him in a classroom closet by his belt loop. Whoo hoo! Talk about funny! Kiddo hung in the closet for a bunch of minutes before he was freed. Schoenberger was later advised that his joke was not funny by being arrested for reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.

The Most Foolish American List has been published...and the losers are....
1. Michael Jackson (receiving the honor for the second year in a row - garnered it last year with the baby dangling incident)
2. Janet Jackson (it was agreed that she's just a boobie)
3. Martha Stewart (lost second place to Janet by a single vote!)
4. Britney Spears (that whole marriage thing...)
Also listed: Kobe Bryant (the alleged rape), Paris Hilton (the video), and GW Bush (mere existence)(10th place)

This is Just Kind of Cool
A 59 year old man was dragged under water & knocked unconscious at Florence Falls in Litchfield Park, a favorite swimming hole surrounded by cliffs and such. A dude swimming near him noticed and managed to drag him out of the water.
Now here's the cool part. The unconscious man had to somehow get back across the dangerous, under-current-filled pool of water and get up a cliff to safety, so over 50 people made a human chain that went across the water. They floated him back across on something called a scoop stretcher, and then teams of people took turns carrying him up 140m to the top of the falls. All of them just folks out for a fun day, who came to the aid of a stranger.
Dude was then treated and released at a nearby hospital.
It's just good to see that every now and then people do something right.
Now enough of the sappy stuff...

School District: Teacher Didn't Violate Policy In Killing Rabbits
So far it looks like Jane 'Kill the Bunny' Bender didn't break any policies or procedures when she bludgeoned two little bunnies to death with a shovel during class. She may have used poor judgment in that she did it in front of kids, but district court in Plant City FL ruled that it is accepted veterinary practice to whomp the living daylights out of poor defenseless furry creatures - it's a part of farming.
Maybe so, but I doubt if it was in the class syllabus.

Wardrobe Defect on Nestle Aero Bars
Ananova reports that there has been a misprint on the wrappers of Nestle Aero bars: where the Best Before date goes, the words 'Shit bar' have miraculously appeared. Cooool.
As much as I don't care for the bubbly bars, I may just run out to read the wrappers - see if I get lucky enough to find a shit bar!

All I Really Want
Alanis Morissette played God in the past (Kevin Smith's Dogma), and now she has become a minister. She took a short internet course in the whole 'closer to God than other people' thing, and now is ordained and plans to conduct same-sex marriages. Well isn't SHE a pistol?
