Kitty porn: Florida man blames cat for illegal downloads

Dogs have been blamed for eating homework - now a Florida man says his cat downloaded child pornography.

Police are charging Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach, Florida with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after finding more than 1,000 images on his personal computer.

Griffin told police he had been downloading music, and that his cat jumped on the keyboard when he left the room. He said "strange things" appeared on the computer when he returned.

He is being held in Martin county jail on $250,000 bond. No word on any charges against the cat.

Man who had ear cut off had it stitched to stomach to save it

A man who had one of his ears cut off when he was attacked in a park had it stitched to his stomach in a bid to save it.

Paul Gibbs, a student from Leeds, was attacked by three men as he camped out with a group of friends last year.

Because the ear was not found for 17 hours, surgeons could not immediately reattach it.

Instead, doctors stitched it inside his stomach so some of the tissue will re-grow. The plan is to then reconstruct the ear using some of the cartilage from 26-year-old Mr Gibbs's ribcage.

He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "It's just a question of waiting for the operation.

"It is going to hurt but I want it done.

"But I'm strong-minded and feel like I am making good progress."

Mr Gibbs was attacked in Rothwell Country Park, near Leeds, in August last year when he and a group of friends were camping out.

He suffered brain damage when he was hit over the head with a motorbike helmet before his left ear was sliced off.

Mr Gibbs was left in a coma following the incident. Specialists in Liverpool are behind Mr Gibbs's ear procedure.

Last week two 18-year-olds and a 22-year-old were convicted of attacking Mr Gibbs. They were each given indeterminate prison sentences with the younger men ordered to serve a minimum of two years and 210 days and the 22-year-old was told he must serve at least four-and-half years.

Falling fish shatters drivers windshield - yahoo news - AP

MARBLEHEAD, Ohio ? A woman in Ohio is telling a fish story about one that got away ? from a bird, and damaged her car. Authorities in northwest Ohio say the fish ? a Lake Erie freshwater drum, known as a sheepshead ? smashed a car windshield Tuesday when an eagle dropped its catch from a height of about 40 feet.

Leighann Niles says the impact felt like a brick hitting her Toyota's windshield. The woman from the Cleveland suburb of South Euclid was vacationing along the lake in Marblehead.

Niles says she had thought herself lucky to escape damage in another animal encounter shortly before the fishy one. She says a truck hit a small bird, which struck her back passenger door and startled her 5-year-old daughter.

Killer drones get new sound system - wired news

Your Predator drone has all the latest gear, including communications, laser target designator, day and night cameras and, of course, Hellfire missiles. But, according to Special Operations Command, it still needs that essential finishing touch: the latest sound system. The command is setting out to correct this, providing speakers not just for drones but also for plenty of other applications, in a new high-tech loudspeaker program.

http://www.spinner.com/2009/08/15/bob-dylan-detained-by-police-in-new-jersey/

Last month when Bob Dylan's summer tour rolled through New Jersey, the rock legend was stopped by local police. A Long Branch, NJ resident phoned in that an "eccentric-looking old man," dressed in sweats, black rain boots and not one, but two raincoats, had wandered into the yard of their 'for sale' home. By the time responding Officer Kristie Buble and her partner Officer Derrick Meyers caught up to the suspicious person, he had continued roaming down the street in the pouring rain.

"I asked him what his name was and he said, Bob Dylan," Buble told ABC news. Buble, 24, recognized the name but not Dylan himself, and given the pouring rain and Dylan's hooded appearance she wasn't sure "if he came from one of our hospitals or something."

Buble continued, "So I said "OK Bob, what are you doing in Long Branch?" He said he was touring the country with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. So now I'm really a little fishy about his story. I did not know what to believe or where he was coming from, or even who he was ... He was acting very suspicious. Not delusional, just suspicious. You know, it was pouring rain and everything."

After Dylan failed to show identification, the officers put the 68-year-old in the back of the car and took him to the nearby, seaside Ocean Place Conference Resort, where his tour buses were parked before the tour's July 23rd outdoor gig in nearby Lakewood, NJ. Once at the hotel, Dylan, who Long Branch Police Department Sgt. Michael Ahart described as "really cool about the whole incident," provided a legit ID.

Later when asked why he had been walking in the rain, Bob Dylan told the police, "I just felt like going for a walk."

Oh, chute!

A British skydiver plunged a terrifying 2,000 feet when his parachute malfunctioned -- yet survived with a stroke of nearly incredible luck. .

Paul Lewis, a parachutist of 20 years' experience, was videotaping a novice's jump from 10,000 feet Friday afternoon, The Times of London reported.

He deployed his main parachute, but it failed at 3,000 feet. When his reserve chute also malfunctioned, he went straight down for nearly half a mile.

But the second chute snagged on the pitched metal roof of an airline hangar -- saving him from falling the remaining 30 feet to the concrete below.

"As soon as I saw the parachute spiral, I knew something was wrong," Colin Fitzmaurice, owner of the Parachute Centre told the paper. "Even before he hit the ground, I'd called an ambulance.

"He is incredibly lucky. He's almost without injury. If he'd fallen 10 feet [laterally] either way, he would have landed on concrete. I went to see him earlier today [in the hospital], and he was in good spirits."

It took firefighters nearly an hour to reach Lewis, who suffered head and neck injuries.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Welcome to your second life, man!

In the Queen song, I'm In Love With My Car, drummer Roger Taylor took over singing duties from Freddie Mercury to wail about how much he was, uh, in love with his car. But he obviously didn't love it this much.

A man in Alberquerque, New Mexico was charged with indecent exposure after he was seen simulating a sex act with his car while it was parked outside a supermarket.

Danny Brawner, 46, was spotted making love to his vehicle outside Smith's Food and Drug store. Witnesses said they saw Brawner "humping" his car's trunk while swinging his arms in the air and shouting. His pants were around his ankles, onlookers said.

Brawner was later found asleep next to his car by police, who said he appeared to be drunk. Two children witnessed the alleged sex act.

Nearly 90% of U.S. money has traces of cocaine

A study that tested paper money from 30 big cities in five countries?including the U.S., Brazil, Canada, China and Japan?found that big metropolitan areas in both Canada and the U.S. have an alarmingly high presence of cocaine on their currency, with traces of the narcotic on 85-90% of bills.

Brazil, coming in just behind the North American nations, had contamination on 80% of paper money. On the other end of the spectrum, in China and Japan, cocaine was present on a much lower 12-20% of banknotes.

The findings, presented Sunday at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C., suggest that the prevalence of cocaine-laced bills in U.S. cities has jumped about 20% since just two years ago.

University of Massachusetts chemistry professor Yuegang Zuo, the lead author on the current study, conducted a similar analysis in 2007 which found that 67% of U.S. banknotes had some traces of cocaine.

The study authors speculate that the increase of residue on bills is likely in step with an increase in cocaine consumption?already as much as a $70 billion annual industry in the U.S., according to the researchers. An estimated 6 million Americans use cocaine each year, consuming somewhere between 259-447 tons of the stuff.

As anyone who's seen the Johnny Depp movie Blow knows, bills are often contaminated when they are rolled up and used to snort cocaine. (According to the study, bills for $5, $10, $20 and $50 tended to have higher amounts of cocaine compared to $1 and $100 notes.)

But, as the prevalence of drug-dusted dollars conveys, it isn't just people snorting and selling cocaine who might have some residue in their wallets. Once a small amount of the substance is introduced, it can spread among bills as they intermix in cash registers, day to day transactions, and bank counting machines, meaning, if you live in a city, you've probably had a laced bill mingling with your money at some point.

Yet, don't worry, you're not likely to face any legal trouble or fail any company drug tests as a result: the amounts of cocaine found on bills ranged from a minuscule .006 micrograms to 1,240 micrograms?an amount comparable in weight to about 50 grains of sand, according to the researchers.

Well, thats very true. According to the otherTF topic "How can i make extra money":

Open a laundry service ala Al Capone in each city: Washington DC, Baltimore, Boston and Detroit (these are the cities with the most traces of all) :wink:

And i am just wondering why admin has been to Boston recently? Maybe he had the same idea already :?:
