`Police say a drunken P-plate driver has been caught towing a friend in a bathtub through the streets of Griffith in the NSW Riverina.

The 18-year-old returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.145 when stopped just after 8pm yesterday with the bathtub attached to his utility by a rope, police say.

His friend, aged 30, was sitting in the porcelain bathtub dressed in overalls, a helmet and motorcycle boots.’

Manages to get himself knocked unconscious. Surprising? Not really.

`”She then took the crack from out of her mouth and placed it on the trunk of Deputy (Jeffery) Pedrick’s patrol car,” the police said.

The Deputy Pedrick warned Reaves that if the substance tested positive, she would be arrested.

After a test came back positive, Reaves said the crack was a poor mix of wax and cocaine and that the man who sold it to her should give her money back.

She was arrested and booked into the local jail on $US1,504 ($A1,922) bond, and has since been released.

Police also searched the man Reaves accused of selling her the crack, but found no drugs or money on him, they said.’

‘And then we decided to make a ramp van.’

`Victoria Beckham is reportedly set to star in Tom Cruise’s new Scientology film.

The ex-Spice Girl has apparently been lined up to play an alien bride in The Thetan – based on the religion, which believes in alien life forms. [..]

The 32-year-old – who made her first attempt at acting in the 1997 Spice Girls movie Spice World – will play the bride of an alien leader called a thetan, which Scientologists claim is an immortal spiritual being, present in all humans.

Cruise – who is bankrolling the project himself after it was rejected by all the major film studios – is said to have picked Victoria for the role after being impressed by her “comic genius”.’

`A Montana man who gave a woman $170,000 as he tried to rid himself of “bad karma” that the psychic said was ruining his love life filed a lawsuit to get his money back. [..]

The lawsuit claims that Roberts told Strating she needed thousands in cash and merchandise to help him, and that she promised not to spend it.

In one instance, Roberts asked Strating to give her $22,000 to “raise his energy level,” while another time she asked for $30,000 because her daughter had been “contaminated” with his bad karma, the lawsuit claims. The Daily Times Call also said that Strating allegedly bought clothing and other items for Roberts’ daughter, which she promised to pay back.’

`A watchdog group charges a nuclear warhead nearly exploded in Texas when it was being dismantled at the government’s Pantex facility near Amarillo.

The Project on Government Oversight says it has been told by knowledgeable experts that the warhead nearly detonated in 2005 because an unsafe amount of pressure was applied while it was being disassembled, The Austin American-Statesman reports.

The U.S. Energy Department fined the plant’s operators $110,000 last month. [..]

The watchdog group says the problem was caused in part by technicians at the plant being required to work up to 72 hours each week.’

What the fuck did they expect?

`Were these people crazy?? Yes, they were. It only went downhill from there. While I was walking toward the exit, unsatisfied customers began to grab at my bag. Just like that! They were acting as if I was just going to give it to them. There was no way anyone was taking this away from me. I was caught off guard in a game of tug-a-war when a security guard intervened and rescued me from the chaos.

He took me outside. And the crowd followed.

The security guard flagged a police car. I thankfully jumped in. And it was a police escort for me and my Wii back to work.’

`A fence-building company in Southern California agrees to pay nearly $5 million in fines for hiring illegal immigrants. Two executives from the company may also serve jail time. The Golden State Fence Company’s work includes some of the border fence between San Diego and Mexico.

After an immigration check in 1999 found undocumented workers on its payroll, Golden State promised to clean house. But when followup checks were made in 2004 and 2005, some of those same illegal workers were still on the job. In fact, U-S Attorney Carol Lam says as many as a third of the company’s 750 workers may have been in the country illegally.’

`A former Allentown woman who admitted that she ordered her 12-year old son and 13-year-old daughter to take pictures of her in seductive nude poses showed up in court today wearing jeans with “Booty” emblazoned on the left rear pocket and “Licious” on the right in what appeared to be rhinestones.

Northampton County Judge Stephen G. Baratta sent Julie Figueroa, 43, to state prison for nine months to four years for endangering the welfare of children. Figueroa’s adult daughter jumped to her feet as deputy sheriffs clamped handcuffs on Figueroa’s wrists. “Excuse me!” she shouted. “Can I say goodbye to my mother?”

The daughter, who did not give her name but earlier gave her age as 20, continued to sob and yell.

“Ma’am,” Baratta said sharply, “Be quiet.”

“This isn’t fair,” the daughter screamed.’

`Hollywood director Oliver Stone has shocked a celebrity crowd with an off-colour joke about the murders of five suspected sex workers in eastern England, as it was reported women’s clothing had been found near where some of the bodies had been dumped. [..]

The discovery of so many victims in so few days has raised fears another “Ripper” targeting prostitutes is on the loose.

That climate led Stone to quip to the British Comedy Awards audience in London: “It’s great to be back in England. I feel like Jack The Ripper days are back. Nothing ever changes here.”

The stunned crowd responded with jeers, gasps and boos, with one audience member quoted as saying the remark was in “unbelievably bad taste”.’

‘For some reason this guy places his dick into a jar full of wasps’

`Tamworth City Council voted this week to spurn an offer by the Department of Immigration to resettle the families for fear it could lead to a repetition of the Cronulla riots, said the Mayor, James Treloar.

Cr Treloar told the Herald people were worried that allowing the families to move to Tamworth “could lead to a Cronulla riots-type situation. Ask the people at Cronulla if they want more refugees.”

He added that “of the 12 Sudanese people who live in Tamworth, eight have been before the courts for everything from dangerous driving to rape. These people don’t respect authority … they come from countries where there are outbreaks of TB [tuberculosis] and polio. How can we trust the department to screen those things?”‘

‘A kid decides to strip naked, jump over a flaming bush, off a cliff and into the lake below. He doesn’t give himself enough room to clear the rocks below and gets knocked out cold. He floats to the surface face down bleeding from a cut which needed 30 stitches.’

`An Australian was barred from a London-Melbourne flight unless he removed a T-shirt depicting George Bush as the world’s number one terrorist.

Allen Jasson was also prevented from catching a connecting flight within Australia later the same day unless he removed the offending T-shirt.

Mr Jasson says Qantas and Virgin Blue were engaging in censorship but the airlines say the T-shirt was a security issue and could affect the sensitivities of other passengers.’

`Supermodel Naomi Campbell was acclaimed for nonsense overnight after winning the Plain English Campaign’s annual Foot in Mouth prize.

The London-born catwalk star scooped this year’s award for her patriotic observation on British cuisine: “I love England, especially the food. There’s nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.” [..]

Campbell beat Wales’s First Minister Rhodri Morgan to the dubious honour of the year’s best example of mixed metaphor, mangled syntax or plain stupidity, robbing him of a hat-trick of wins.

The Labour Party politician said in a Welsh Assembly debate: “But obviously the issue is that if you had another £450 million ($1.12 billion) from somewhere else, you have got another £450 million, but what does that tell you?

“That is like saying, if my auntie was a bloke, she would be my uncle.”‘

`There is very little that sums up the record of the U.S. Congress in the Bush years better than a half-mad boy-addict put in charge of a federal commission on child exploitation. After all, if a hairy-necked, raincoat-clad freak like Rep. Mark Foley can get himself named co-chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, one can only wonder: What the hell else is going on in the corridors of Capitol Hill these days?

These past six years were more than just the most shameful, corrupt and incompetent period in the history of the American legislative branch. These were the years when the U.S. parliament became a historical punch line, a political obscenity on par with the court of Nero or Caligula — a stable of thieves and perverts who committed crimes rolling out of bed in the morning and did their very best to turn the mighty American empire into a debt-laden, despotic backwater, a Burkina Faso with cable.’

`Portland Police Spokesperson Brian Schmautz said shortly after 5:00 p.m. Friday night officers at the Northeast Precinct on NE Emerson St. got a call that someone had just hit one of their patrol cars, then backed up and hit it again. [..]

Klopf apparently told officers he was upset because he had been driving around on city streets at over 100 mph and no one ever pulled him over to give him a ticket.’

‘Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! BOOM!’

Heh. :)

This is an audio clip of a guy calling his ISP’s billing deparment. He was quoted a price of 0.02 cents per kilobyte for his data, but the ISP thinks 0.02c is equal to $0.02, and no one he speaks to can see any difference between cents and dollars.

`A woman staying at a northeast Georgia motel this week shot herself while trying to light a cigarette with a pistol she mistook for a cigarette lighter, police said.

Police said Olivia Hutcherson, 21, of Anderson, S.C., had been arrested for fighting at a Waffle House shortly before she shot herself in the hand with a .22-caliber pistol she had tried to use to light a cigarette. [..]

About 90 minutes earlier, Hutcherson had slapped a man in the face three times after she said he touched her inappropriately, according to police reports.

Five witnesses told police they never saw the man touch her.

“She stated that someone had grabbed her from behind and she turned and struck the first person she saw,” an officer wrote in the report.’

`Gov. Timothy M. Kaine isn’t exactly muttering “I do believe in spooks! I do believe in spooks!” like the Cowardly Lion in “The Wizard of Oz.”

But he’s not ruling out the possibility either.

Asked on his monthly radio show on the Virginia News Network whether he has had paranormal experiences like previous Executive Mansion occupants, Kaine flatly answered: “Yes.”

Kaine said Thursday that at the same “inconvenient time” every week, the telephone rings in his family’s private quarters–and when he picks up the phone, nobody’s there. He said he’s researching whether “something odd happened” on the same day and hour sometime in the mansion’s history.’

`A house owned by Drake University has sustained some $50,000 damage in a bottle rocket war.

Four young men have been charged with reckless use of fire, a serious misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail.

“They were playing around with fireworks like a lot of the rest of us have done at one time or another,” said Des Moines Police Detective Jack Kamerick. “They are all good kids. But if you’re going to have a bottle rocket war it would be a lot better to do it outside. It would still be illegal but at least you wouldn’t burn up a house.”‘
