Tuesday Night

And I'm not even looking for these stories ...

Bride tries to run over groom's former girlfriend, newlyweds spend night in jail.

And that's only the tip of the iceberg. "Police said the couple was intoxicated." Gee, no kidding.

Did you see this story (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/wear/8544298.stm) on the man who lost his license for a year in England when he was caught taking his dog for a "walk" in his car?

(OK, it was only the most recent citation he got, but it was still the one that put him over the top.)

I love his attorney's comment:
In mitigation, his solicitor, Paul Donoghue, said: "He accepts it was a silly thing to do, borne out with an element of laziness."

I did see that! There seems to be a plethora of strange news stories of late.

I think I've actually seen someone do this. The memory is vague, but ... it was in a gated community, if I recall correctly, and the man kept the door of the car open.

You know what's the ONE thing in the story that actually surprises me?

...



It happened in the wrong state.

Just sayin'.

Oh my God, Mare. She tried to run over this woman and her kid! It took three officers to separate these people! HE'S A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER!

Yup. Got all that. Yet more reasons I kept double-checking to make sure it didn't happen in Florida.

Maybe they were born in Florida? *ducks*

I like this story about how the Chilean earthquake has shortened Earth's day.
