I'm willing to bet there was a camera crew for the next E! reality series.

Construction signs warn of zombies

This is more humorous than weird:


Quote:
AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of "zombies ahead."
"I thought it was pretty funny," said University of Texas sophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. "We wondered who did it."
...

KXAN Austin News cameras caught many drivers slowing down to read the signs as they approached. Some read, "Zombies ahead! Run for your lives!"

... [more]

Kiwi Prisoners Bungle Escape

BBC link, click to watch CCTV.

CCTV has captured the moment when two handcuffed prisoners' attempt to escape custody came to a crashing end as they ran into a lamppost.

The pair ran away while awaiting their court hearing in Hastings and managed to cross a street towards a car park before they were recaptured.

That's almsot as bad as the idiot who prints a fake $1,000,000 bill and tries to cash it at the bank. I mean for fuck sakes...do a $50 or a $100 bill...not a million. Apparently greed and intelligence don't go well together.

68-year-old man found beaten inside Plano home

02:22 PM CST on Thursday, January 29, 2009

By DAN X. McGRAW / The Dallas Morning News
dmcgraw@dallasnews.com

Detectives are investigating the death of a 68-year-old man who was found beaten inside his Plano home this morning, Plano police said.
1100 block, Avenue I

Sherlock Holmes was found by a friend about 12:45 a.m. inside his home in the 1100 block of Avenue I, said Plano police spokesman Rick McDonald.

Police were interviewing neighbors and friends to determine a motive, McDonald said.

Holmes, a longtime resident of Plano, was a member of the city’s Douglass Community Center.

Oh, and she already had 6 kids.

She "never expected to have eight more when she took fertility treatment, her mother said." WTF? You have six kids, and THEN you take fertility treatments??

And no husband (no information given about even a steady boyfriend, LTR, or details on the baby daddy/ies of the 6 kids she was already fertile enough to squirt out), lives with her parents. Is "Quite Young." Let me go out on a limb and guess that she is not employed, but is on welfare and every other kind of assistance out there.

Isn't there some kind of questionnaire at the clinic?

How did she pay for the fertility treatments? Are they covered under MediCal too?

Sister Allegedly Beat Up Bride at Wedding

Quote:
Annmarie Bricker, of Valparaiso, Ind., allegedly showed up uninvited at her sister's wedding reception, wrestled the bride to the ground and pulled out some of her hair. Police charged the 23-year-old emergency dispatcher with misdemeanor battery.

Jeremy Glotzbach told police he was hosting a reception for newlyweds Nicholas Landry and Lori Kappes at his home on Jan. 23 when Bricker, Kappes' sister, attacked Kappes on the front porch.
Bricker pulled out clumps of Kappes' hair, struck her head and took the bride to the ground during a struggle, according to the Porter County Sheriff's Department.
Bricker told police she went to the house because she "just wanted to talk" to her sister and parents about family problems. She said she never touched her sister, but five witnesses contradicted her, authorities said. Kappes did not need medical treatment.
Bricker later resigned from her job as a Porter County 911 dispatcher, officials said.

I love the title for the story - also that the deer apparently got away.
