If you want your horse to race in North America, the name must be approved by the Jockey Club. Andy Hillis wanted to name his horse “Nutzapper” after hearing it used in a joke on the Tonight Show. So Hillis told the Jockey Club (as reported in Slate) that he…
Oh no you didn’t K-Mart. You didn’t just charge Mary Bach tax on that toilet paper. Everybody knows that, unlike other paper goods, toilet paper is not taxed in Pennsylvania. No, Ms. Bach is not making a federal case out it – just a teeny, tiny $100 state court case.…
Maybe you wouldn’t be so impressed if I told you that Elizabeth Okazaki pretended to be a student for 4 months at UCLA, even obtaining a BruinCard that allowed her to use the recreational facilities (where she stored some of her stuff!) and the libraries. She just got busted, and…
Ethel Schaper, age 87, loved to read. Up until she died a couple weeks ago from a stroke, she read about 2 books every week. When Camilla Trinchieri was going through her mom’s things, she found a book her mom had checked out of the library. So Ms. Trinchieri took…
How the hell was this done? Somebody just waltzed into Victoria’s Secret in Flagstaff, Arizona and stole 350 bras! Mind you, the store was open. And for some reason, the anti-theft tags did not trigger the alarm. The haul has a retail value of about $15,000.

No doubt the taser is effective in protecting police officers. It’s equally clear that it is way overused – when there is NO imminent threat to police officers. And I’m not just talking about this dude at the Kerry speech. Just go on YouTube and search “taser.” Back to the…
What mission? Apparently to become an irritant to everyone in town. He’s having some success, too. George Gerhold was a policeman in North Jersey for 25 years. Perhaps he shouldn’t have retired. Here’s what he’s been up to since then, per NewJersey.com: Police Chief William Smith confirmed that Gerhold has…
“Give me your phone and your keys,” said the mugger, or something like that. Then, he took her shoes off, and LICKED HER TOES! Shazam! Other than the slobber on her toes, and most likely being totally freaked out, the woman was unharmed. The mugger/toe licker was busted a few…
Cab Driver Tewfik Boukhelal jumped out of his cab – while it was moving! This was not okay with his two passengers, especially the one who was knocked unconscious as she too jumped out of the moving cab. Why did he do this? Because Mr. Boukhelal thought the passengers (1)…
