Today in History: July 01, 1980 - "O Canada" was proclaimed the national anthem of Canada. Nobody noticed that they spelled 'Oh' incorrectly, eh.

Evolution Schmevolution
If you have nothing better to do with your time this long weekend, try earning $250,000. Dr Hovind has "a standing offer of $250,000 to anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.* [his] $250,000 offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing more than a religious belief"

More Daytona Beach, FL, Thinkers
Kisha Smith used to be a cleaning woman at the Daytona courthouse, and one day she decided to snatch judge John Watson's wallet from his chambers. She and her boyfriend Shawn Mayo then took the judge's credit card to the next logical place: Wal-Mart!
They charged up about a thousand dollars' worth of stuff at Wal Mart, but kind of goofed when Shawn signed his own name on the credit card receipt.
Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Drunk and Disorderly
Theresa Hall, a University of S Florida student, returned to her home to find it ransacked. As she wandered about the mess, she discovered a drunken burglar passed out in her laundry room, and wearing some of her clothes.
She said: "He had gotten into all kinds of food in my refrigerator, drank half my liquor, made himself at home and pulled things out of my underwear drawer, and every box of stuff that I have, and went through everything I own."
Ew

Update on Glen Campbell Drunk Driving Saga
Although he did plead guilty to extreme drunken driving and fleeing the scene of an accident during that Big Drunk last November, Glen Campbell has this to say in his own defense:
"I wasn't really that drunk,I was just over-served."
An interesting spin. Do I smell a lawsuit against the 'server'?
Glen was as impressed with his own mug shot as the rest of the world: "When I saw the mug shot, I said, 'Who is that guy?' Everybody says it's the devil, but it isn't, it's God's way of telling you to slow down."
Perhaps he should have done a mug shot like THIS guy:

Note to self: don't put ice down maid's undergarments...
Filipina Jean Ganzon, a maid for the volatile Ong Ting Ting, was getting warm while ironing at her Singapore job. So she opened a window in an attempt to cool off.
Well Ong didn't like that one bit, so she started kicking Filipina, forced her to stand in front of a fan and shoved ice cubes down her bra and shorts.
Filipina filed abuse charges and Ong now is to be jailed for 14 weeks in a Singapore jail.

Man cleared of murder with spoon
Richard Clare has been cleared of murder charges, much to the chagrin of folks familiar with the spoon killing trial he's been going through. He in fact was cleared not only of murder, but also of manslaughter AND cleared of causing bodily harm to another man.
The case:
Richard Clare is a heroin addict.
In November of 2003, Rick escaped from Vale House Drug Rehab Center in Hertford and took a cab to the home of a disabled acquaintance, James Gibson, to get money he thought Jim owed him.
Rick got no cash, so he swiped Jim's cell phone instead.
Jim called a friend - the doomed Timothy Magee - to assist in getting the phone back.
A tussle ensued, with Tim head butting Rick and even the disabled Jim beating him with his walking aid.
So Rick grabbed a dessert spoon and whapped Tim on the back of the head.
Due to the exquisite positioning and power of the whappage, the evil spoon ruptured an artery and caused fatal bleeding in the area between Tim's skull and brain.
Somehow Jim died too, but there aren't details on that.
For this fatal silliness, Rick was sentenced to 7 days in jail.
