Intruder Calls 911, Afraid Homeowner May Have Gun
www.cnn.com

A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police — afraid the homeowner may have a gun.

The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement.

Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun.

"I think they have guns"

Dont forget these two geniuses :

pair of idiot would-be thieves in Carroll, Iowa, learned the hard way that real crooks use actual stockings on their heads - not Sharpie markers - for a reason: They don't look quite as stupid when caught.

Instead of going with ski masks, balaclavas or stockings pulled over one's head, 23-year-old Matthew Allan McNelly and 20-year-old Joey Lee Miller had drawn makeshift masks all over their faces with markers - permanent markers. Seeing as how the benefit of a normal mask is that it A.) provides anonymity and B.) can be easily concealed or discarded, one might imagine that going with a method of disguise that actually adds identifying features until you scrub your face raw was a rather poor choice. And one would be right.

Carroll Police Chief Cayler said as much, anyway. "[The] black faces gave them right away ... I have to assume the officers were kind of laughing at the time. I've never heard of coloring your face with a permanent marker."

that deserves a ..

i can see the rest of the world laughing right about now. whales gain rights, americans losing rights.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Colorado Springs police say a man's girlfriend unexpectedly came home just before another woman was due to visit, so he called police to report his new acquaintance as a burglar.

This is pretty dumb.

I love the name: "The Facies".

Humour on several levels at once.

They don't hold a candle to this rocket scientist:



That really IS permanent.

I guess ol' Cory didn't feel like he looked weird enough, so he added a few tats to make him look like a bad ass.

A heart-felt thanks to all that have replied.

As a species, we sure are an embarrassing lot.

Appreciate the posts

A man in a cow suit stole 26 gallons of milk from a Virginia Walmart. Yes, you read that correctly. According to InsideNova.com, an 18-year-old man dressed as a cow allegedly swiped 26 gallons of milk from a Walmart at 10:35 p.m., Tuesday night. But the best part however, may have been his after the theft.

Granny camps out 43 hours for grandson's ice cream

STEVENS POINT, Wis. - Here's one Wisconsin grandmother who makes time for her grandson. Michelle Cuestas of Green Bay used two vacation days and camped out for 43 hours to make sure her grandson would be first in line for the 2010 opening of a Stevens Point ice-cream landmark.

Belts' Soft Serve opened for the year Friday at 11 a.m. Thanks to grandma, 6-year-old Brayden Banks placed the first order.

The Stevens Point Journal said Cuestas arrived Wednesday at 4 p.m. She planned to spend the night in her car but after locking her keys in the car, she instead slept in the Belts bathroom.

Brayden arrived Thursday morning. The two passed the last 24 hours playing games, reading and drawing.

Authorities believe Wash. man electrocuted by urinating on downed power line after car crash

MONTESANO, Wash. - Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.

Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.

However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

Aussie Cookbook Recalled After Recipe Includes 'Freshly Ground Black People'

It is a tiny misprint, but an Australian publisher had to pulp a cookbook after one recipe called for "salt and freshly ground black people" to be added to the dish, AFP reported Saturday.

It is a tiny misprint, but an Australian publisher had to pulp a cookbook after one recipe called for "salt and freshly ground black people" to be added to the dish, AFP reported Saturday.

Penguin Group Australia pulped and reprinted about 7,000 copies of "Pasta Bible" after the typographical error was found in the ingredients for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

"We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind, and why anyone would be offended, we don't know," head of publishing Bob Sessions was quoted as saying.

Penguin said almost every one of the more than 150 recipes in the book called for salt and freshly ground black pepper but a misprint occurred on just one page, probably as a result of a computer's spellchecker program.

"When it comes to the proofreader, of course they should have picked it up, but proofreading a cookbook is an extremely difficult task. I find that quite forgivable," Sessions said.

Friends leave man stuck swinging at Vallejo park

At about 6 a.m., a groundskeeper of Blue Rock Springs Park heard a man screaming when he arrived at work. He then called the police to investigate.


Upon arrival, police found a 21-year-old man stuck in a child's swing, which has two leg holes.


The man told police that he had been stuck in the swing since 9 p.m. Friday after he allegedly made a $100 bet with his friends. He proceeded to lube himself with laundry detergent to get into the swing, police said.


The friends then reportedly left him swinging through the night.
