You’re Nicked??


Stolen iPad pictures go viral
A U.S. man has been sharing with the world funny photos of the woman who has his missing iPad.
Allen Engstrom told ABC News he left the device on a plane while travelling from Phoenix to Denver.
A month later, his son held up another Apple device, showing a picture of a woman making a funny face and said: "Mommy, what's this?"
Engstrom's iPad automatically backs up pictures to his iCloud service. The woman in the picture has Engstrom's iPad.
Engstrom's not the first person to share shots of an alleged computer thief. This Guy Has My Macbook has long been a popular blog.
But the person in the pictures isn't always the thief.


In 2008, an Ohio teacher posted naked pictures of herself on a stolen laptop. A theft recovery company tracked her down and she was arrested.
But it turned out she bought the computer second-hand, and later sued the police and the company.

There’s Always One!!

Funny Flower Girl At Wedding…

Heheeeee! This cute little pumpkin really doesn’t understand that the petals are meant to stay where they’re thrown, that it’s all part of the ceremony. So she’s picking up every single petal that she can as the older flower girl in front of her throws them to the floor. Older girl throws, little pumpkin picks it up.
When she first does it, the photographer tries to stop her, but then gives up and takes a photo of it instead! Everyone’s laughing by then.
The older flower girl tries to stop her, but she ain’t having it – she gets vocal, determined to stay the course.
She runs and picks, she runs and picks, every single one, til she joins the bride and groom at the front.
Delightful, amusing little flower girl with a determined spirit. Brought joy to the wedding before the proceedings got underway.

Strange Holster?


Woman hides loaded gun in vagina

WHERE is the best place to hide a gun? If you’re the woman from Ada, Oklahoma, then you would’ve thought the best place to secrete a firearm would be inside your body.
Inside your vagina.
That’s right! Christie Dawn Harris, aged 28 years young, decided that she didn’t want the police to know she had a weapon on her and snuck it up her doo-dah. And it was loaded too.
Thank goodness it wasn’t a machete.
When the police searched her Toyota Yaris, she was hiding away in it complete with pistol and crystal meth. Harris was taken to the local jail where she refused to change into jail clothing. Why? Because she was on her period. Officer Kathy Unbewust suspected foul play and proceeded to conduct a body cavity search.
That’s when she saw a gun sticking out of Christie:
“I observed at that time a wooden and metal item sticking out from her vagina area,” said Unbewust in her report. “[I] pulled the item from her vagina, and found it to be a five-shot revolver with rounds in the chamber.”
“I then retrieved from between Christie’s buttocks two clear baggies containing a large amount of a crystal substance… tested positive for methamphetamine.”
The police aren’t paid enough, are they?

A Good Education??


Young people think blackberry is phone not fruit

MOST young people think of a blackberry as a mobile phone rather than a fruit.
When asked what a “blackberry” was, 82 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds polled said they would be most likely to think instantly of a smartphone, a survey for the Environment Department suggested

A Slow Ram-Raid?


Elderly man on mobility scooter sought after ‘ramming vehicle into supermarket window’

Sussex Police are hunting an elderly man on a mobility scooter who is thought to have rammed his machine into a supermarket window.
The renegade, believed to be in his 60s,  is suspected to have bumped the property after a dispute with staff at the Bexhill Co-op in Western Road on Wednesday.
Investigators believe the OAP crashed into the window on purpose because he was angry ‘over a customer service issue of some kind’.
The argument resulted in smashed glass and now police are seeking the man, who was wearing blue jeans, sunglasses and a dark top.
They have also released a CCTV image of him on his scooter.
Officers are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Co-operative Food said: ‘We can confirm that the front window of our store on Western Road in Bexhill was damaged on Wednesday 6 March, after a mobility scooter was driven into it.
‘CCTV has been passed to the police who are investigating.’

Walkies??


Dog ‘prevents owner from committing suicide’

A pet owner in France was reportedly prevented from committing suicide by her dog after it decided it was not yet ready to see her go.
The 63-year-old female decided to end it all in her back yard in Sorgues but her German shepherd apparently had a different idea.
In desperation the loyal pet reportedly did what anyone else who loved her would and collided with the elderly woman in an attempt to get her to drop the gun.
‘[The dog] probably sensed things and knocked into her to save her,’ a police officer said.
The woman suffered a chest wound but was not seriously hurt and should make a full recovery.
But it seems the dog has been negatively affected by its owner’s actions, just as many people who have dealt with the attempted suicide of a loved one are.
Let’s hope the heroic mutt gets over its problems.

Parking Wars?

Audi TT takes off and crashes into house

An Audi TT was left embedded in the living room of a house after an early morning accident.

The driver, believed to be in his 20s, lost control of his red Audi TT and left the road at 1:45am today.

The car mounted a pavement and flew through a hedge before going over the top of two parked cars in a driveway and smashing into the front window and brickwork of a detached house.

The front end of the car was left wedged in the £250,000 house about 4ft above the ground, with the rear resting on the bonnet of a car in the driveway

Shocked householder Paul Welham, 40, is believed to have been in bed when he was woken by the impact. Nobody in the house was injured.

The trapped driver, who suffered serious head injuries, was freed by firefighters from the wreckage in Long Meadow Walk, Carlton Colville near Lowestoft, Suffolk.

He was taken to the James Paget Hospital, Gorleston and later transferred to the specialist head injuries unit at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

The road was closed while the driver was being rescued and while emergency services dealt with a suspected gas leak at the house.

Structural engineers are now carrying out emergency repairs at the house.

Keith Shales, 66, who lives nearby, said: "I reckon it must be about four feet off the ground, I've never seen anything like it."

Sgt Bob Patterson, of Suffolk Police, said: "Collision investigators will be at the scene today as we try to ascertain exactly what has occurred.

"At this early stage we could not speculate as to what has caused the crash."

Err…….I would imagine speed, drink and the inability to drive a fast car was the cause Numnuts!!!

Lego….Crashed?


Lego Spill Clogs Up West Virginia Highway

Lego cleanup needed on highway 79!
Commuters on Interstate 79 in West Virginia faced at least an additional hour wait in traffic Sunday, WDTV reported. As drivers approached mile marker 117 in Harrison County, they saw thousands of tiny Lego building blocks scattered across the highway.
Firefighters and cleanup crews were there to pick up the pieces. Eric McClain, a firefighter on scene of the toy disaster, posted a photo of the highway littered with thousands of colorful bricks.
At least one person claimed responsibility for the spilt Legos. Tiffany Lantz posted on Facebook, “Those legos belonged to my 11 yr old son they where in totes strapped to the top of the durango they fell off strap came loose he cried it seemed like forever but I tried to recover as many as I could cause I don't have the money to buy him anymore." Lantz added an apology to those commuters stuck in traffic because of the Legos.
WDTV reported that traffic was down to one lane until crews could clean up the mess.

An Old Rave Site??


Stonehenge was ancient rave spot

British researchers on Saturday unveiled a new theory for the origins of Stonehenge, saying the ancient stone circle was originally a graveyard and venue for mass celebrations.
The findings would overturn the long-held belief that Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in southwestern England was created as a Stone Age astronomical calendar or observatory.
A team led by Professor Mike Parker Pearson of University College London said Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is both older and had a different function than previously thought.
"In many ways our findings are rewriting the established story of Stonehenge," Parker Pearson said.
The archaeologists carried out a decade of research which included excavations, laboratory work and the analysis of 63 sets of ancient human remains.
They said the original Stonehenge appeared to have been a graveyard for elite families built around 3000 BC, 500 years earlier than the site that is famous today.
The remains of many cremated bodies were marked by the bluestones of Stonehenge, Pearson said.
Further analysis of cattle teeth from 80,000 animal bones excavated from the site also suggest that around 2500 BC, Stonehenge was the site of vast communal feasts.
These would have been attended by up to one tenth of the British population at one time in what Parker Pearson said resembled "Glastonbury festival and a motorway building scheme at the same time."
It seemed that ancient people travelled to celebrate the winter and summer solstices but also to build the monument, he said.
"Stonehenge was a monument that brought ancient Britain together," he said.
"What we've found is that people came with their animals to feast at Stonehenge from all corners of Britain -- as far a field as Scotland."
He said it appeared to be the "only time in prehistory that the people of Britain were unified."
Unesco describes Stonehenge as the most architecturally sophisticated prehistoric stone circle in the world.
But archaeologists have long argued about its importance to the people who built it, ranging from a place of astronomy to one of human sacrifice.
The researchers said their findings also gave a clue to why the monument stopped being used -- another mystery that has baffled archaeologists.
The earlier timeline they propose suggests that Stonehenge was built before the arrival of the "Beaker people" who brought with them a less centralised political culture. (AFP)
