The long arm of law has been plunging the depths of the criminal world and victory has been achieved; the CBC reports the following:
“OTTAWA – Ottawa police have arrested a man with an apparent penchant for toilet flushers.
Police allege a man stole flushing mechanisms from public and private toilets across the capital.
The targets included restaurants, shopping malls, hospitals, medical clinics and private sector facilities.
Police say the electronic and manual flushing mechanisms have an estimated value of about $100 to $1,000 each.
Robert Morissette, 51, was arrested last Tuesday and is charged with 24 counts of theft under $5,000, 24 counts of mischief to property under $5,000 and 24 counts of breach of probation.”
24 counts! That is awesome! Let it be known here in Canada we will not be acommodating toilet thievery of any kind!
Religion deserves only one thing… er two things. The first being relegated to the dustbin of history, secondly ridicule. A nice helping of that from a gentlemen named Marcus Brigstock.
CBC reports -BARRIE, Ont. – A skateboarder in his birthday suit upset people at a beach in Barrie, Ont.
The naked man apparently was planning a skinny dip in the bay at Centennial Beach Friday evening.
Irate parents confronted him, and police were called.
The man put on his clothes.
Police responding to the calls gave him a warning.
They then drove him home.
No harm, no foul. Just funny :)
LETHBRIDGE, Alta. – “A skateboarder using an electronic device didn’t get to the other side of the road.
Witnesses and the driver told police that a male on the skateboard was looking down at an electronic device when he was crossing the street outside the crosswalk.
They say the driver tried to stop his vehicle, but couldn’t avoid colliding with the skateboarder.
Austin John Lawrence, 18, is charged under the Traffic Safety Act with crossing a roadway at a point other than a crosswalk and failing to yield to a motor vehicle on the roadway.
The fine for the traffic violation is $57.”
This story warms my heart. I am bombard with stories about the digital age and being wired and social networking. How about this being a cautionary tale for those who think they can text and drive? Multi-tasking is just another word for doing multiple things poorly.
Stop it.
Do people actually take Glen Beck seriously?

“LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The Environmental Protection Agency has a new weapon in the fight against radioactive contamination at a Los Angeles-area lab: Mules.
The EPA will use four mules to carry high-tech scanning equipment to detect radiation on steep and rocky terrain at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.”
Who would have thought the humble Mule would be helping us clean up the environment.
“The EPA is conducting a survey of soil and water contamination at the lab near Simi Valley, where rocket engines were tested for years and a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor took place in 1959.
About 500 acres (200 hectares) of the lab will be scanned for gamma radiation.
Results will be turned over to the state, which is overseeing a cleanup.”
I’m not sure whether to be happy or sad for the nice lady who finally got her drivers license after her 960th try. :)
SEOUL, South Korea – A South Korean woman who earned a driver’s license after 960 tries is ready to buy a car and get behind the wheel.
Yonhap news agency reported Thursday that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year.
