WEIRD: If you manage to escape the police by swimming across a river, just keep running. Don't stop at a bar for a beer
Updated: 08/25 20:15
Aussies are known to be hard core, but I didn't know that New Zealanders followed suit. Kayd Thorp is as hard core as they come.  Unfortunately, he is dumb as a pile of horse shit, but that will come later.
While being extradited to the state of Victoria, Kayd Thorp managed to escape from his police captors by swimming across Queensland's Brisbane River.  So what does one do when they escape from the cops?  Most hardened criminals would likely opt for some sort of 'hiding'.  Not our friend Kayd, though.  He is too hard core to hide out somewhere.
Kayd decided the most logical destination for him would be a bar. But, Kayd wouldn't want to go incognito and hide out in some secluded bar in a neighboring city. Â No, Kayd is too hard core for that. Â He opts for a bar in the vicinity of where he escaped from, in a hotel no less. Â Who in their right minds would ever look for him there?
The Hotel Manager on duty describes the police encounter with our genius a bit further:
"They approached a couple sitting at the bar and spoke to a young male and after a few minutes handcuffed him and took him outside," Jones said in statement read to the Australian Associated Press by hotel staff. "He was apparently the fugitive from the 6 p.m. news who had escaped police custody at the airport."
It looks like Hotel owner Doug McDonald shares my sentiment. "Even Mexicans on the run know where to have a beer in Brisbane," Mr McDonald said.
So what did Thorp originally do?
Â
Thorp, formerly of Point Lonsdale, near Geelong, faced a string of charges including intentionally causing serious injury over the death of Clint Bassett, 49, in February.
Police allege Thorp attacked Bassett, who later died.
Thorp is likely to face further charges over the matter.
He has also been charged with assaulting an off-duty police sergeant and threatening to kill him and his partner outside a hotel at Queenscliff, near his home, in the same month.
The sergeant also faces charges he assaulted Thorp in the watch-house at Geelong police station following the Queenscliff incident.

Â
It looks like our dear friend Kayd will be locked up for substantially longer now. Â Maybe next time he will consider doing his exercise a bit longer, and following a long swim with a long run? Â That may help with the whole 'escape' concept.
It is fortunate that so many criminals are complete idiots. Â Stupid criminals help me sleep better.

WEIRD: Man calls police to report somebody stole $10,000 from his hotel room. Thankfully the police find it for him... in the microwave... next to the two pounds of cocaine
Updated: 08/23 10:36
There's stupid, and then there's that special kind of stupid that generally rides the short bus. Those are the people that usually have social workers, and are generally disallowed from playing with heavy machinery. It seems that this pair of 'special stupid' didn't get the memo that being a drug dealer was probably a bit out of their league.
Meet 28 year old Denonta D. Thadison and his 22 year old girlfriend Thashedrea Seals. It seems that the two misplaced $10k after waking up from a drug binge in some hotel room. After the discovery, they did what any hard working individual woud do, call the police. Unfortunately for them, they didn't give any thought to the 2 pounds of crack/cocaine hidden in their microwave, and more unfortunately for them they failed to notice the $10k stashed in the same microwave as the $10k. The police, on the other hand, didn't suffer from the same stupidity, and found the money and the drugs with relative ease.
Denonta is now sitting behind bars without bond because of a prior drug charge. Thashedrea got off a bit easier, she was allowed to go home if she came up with only $100k bond. Personally, for people that stupid, I think jail is a bit overkill, but what do I know?
This entire situation begs the question ... did they simply forget about the 2 pounds of drugs, or did they find that and merely not look around the bag to find the missing $10k? It just seems to me that if you have 2 pounds of drugs in your hotel room, police aren't generally welcome. At the very least, you wouldn't consciously invite them in. Remember kids, drugs are bad.

WEIRD: One Pole, Five Conflicting Parking Signs ... What would you do?
Updated: 07/31 12:27I have seen my fair share of messed up signs, especially on the internet, but I have never seen a parking sign quite like the one above. Personally, if confronted with such an attrocity, I would likely avoid parking in that space regardless of what time it was. Weedie Rose was a bit braver, so she decided to park there around noon on a weekday. Judging by the sign, what do you think happened? If you guessed "She got a ticket", come on down and collect your prize.
The fact that Weedie got a ticket doesn't surprise me in the least. What surprises me is how a sign like that can possibly exist in the first place. I am sure that whoever designed this monstrocity had some logic swirling around their head somewhere, unfortunately they didn't take the split second to think, "Will anyone aside from me ever understand this?"
For the curious, this sign is apparently located on the 2100 block of K Street, NW in our dear sweet capital, Washington DC. It seems like our politicians aren't the only brain dead zombies wandering the capital. Maybe one of them bit a sign maker? Who knows
To keep things interesting, here are a bunch of other signs that are almost on par with that one. Enjoy ...

TECH: The Coolest Bathtub Ever, SPAcer by Dominik Chojnacki
Updated: 07/04 00:47I am not much a great fan of home furnishings, but I know what I like. The SPAcer bathtub definitely left a mark. Designed by Dominik Chojnacki (his website is very information light), this is the perfect tub for those looking to free up a few square meters in their bathrooms.
Its unfortunate that SPAcer isn't in production. I think that something like this, if thought through properly, could be extremely popular. The tilting feature is something that requires careful thought. I would hope that it would be something automated but with a manual option that wouldn't break the automation mechanism, but regardless the hinge would have to be extremely durable to handle something that is potentially reasonably heavy.
There are plenty of people that simply don't have much space in their hose, making for small bathrooms. This would be extremely useful in such a case. Personally, I have the space, but I am a fan of open spaces. Even with a larger bathroom I wouldn't mind a fold away tub.
Who knows, maybe there are people working on a production version as I type this. I can only hope.

ENTERTAINMENT: Topless Katy Perry Picture
Updated: 07/01 18:04It seems that topless or naked artists these days are becoming popular. First, Alexandra Richards does a Playboy Spread in France, and now Katy Perry goes topless for Esquire. How can we forget Hayley Williams topless shot?
Personally, of the three, Hayley is my favorite. I guess its the natural look. While Katy Perry comes in a close second, the fact that a little airbrushing has been applied makes me want to see the original before awarding a crown.

ENTERTAINMENT: Hayley Williams, Lead Singer of Paramore, Naked 1
Updated: 05/28 23:51Ah, the young and the naked. I must say, Hayley Williams of Paramore has some nice breasts. Its unfortunate that there is only one such picture, but I guess its better than nothing.
This picture was originally posted to Hayley Williams' Twitter profile, but she denies posting it. She claims that a hacker got on her machine and posted it via her account. Somehow, I doubt it. If I had to guess, I would say that drugs were involved and she thought it a good idea at the time. Regardless, I think its a good idea, any way it came about.

ENTERTAINMENT: Lindsay Lohan a Coke Head?
Updated: 05/22 02:11Lindsay Lohan has obviously been framed, there is no way I am going to believe that this angel would ever do coke. At least, she couldn't be so stupid as to have her photo taken with a coke straw and lines on the table.

WEIRD: Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovich, Attacked by a Wreath ... terrorism?
Updated: 05/19 02:02In what has got to be one of the funniest attacks on a head of state in a long time, Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovich was attacked by a vicious wreath, later forcing him to take shelter at a local dry cleaner.
Unfortunately, the culprit is still at large. In a bizar act of terrorism, rather than explosions, the terrorist cast Gust of Wind, which toppled an unsuspecting wreath on top of the president. Other than his ego, little was bruised.

WEIRD: An Eel up your Rectum? ... Darwin would be Proud!
Updated: 05/01 16:52
Different people get their sexual kicks in different ways. Some like old fashioned sex, while others prefer something a little more spicy. A little S&M, maybe some voyeurism, or even the classic "Stick something in my ass" trick.
A Chinese chef seems to have a thing for the latter. While official reports claim that sex had nothing to do with it, but rather he was passed out drunk and someone decided to play a prank on him [link], that just sounds too far fetched to me.
The official story is that the 59 year old, unnamed chef, got so drunk that he passed out. As a 'prank', his so called friends decided to jam a live eel head first into his ass. One thing is for sure, the eel definitely wasn't consulted before the incident. In a fit of rage, the eel devoured the man's bowels, which eventually killed him. There is no word on the fate of the eel, but I highly doubt that after an ordeal like that it would even dare show its face again ... if it didn't die of asphyxiation, I am sure embarrassment wasn't too far behind.
Personally, I feel that a little kinky sex had something to do with it. I have played some pranks in my day, especially on my drunk friends ... but shoving a live eel in someone's ass? Even in my most sinister, I wouldn't dream of doing that.
A lesson to all of you that like a little anal exploration in your sex ... stick to small rodents, and avoid meat eaters.

SPORTS: Basketball Players Pissed about Cheerleader Prank
Updated: 04/11 01:04
A basketball players at Saginaw High School in Fort Worth, Texas are a little pissed at a prank played on them by the cheerleaders whose responsibility it is to keep them excited. A nice prank would be for the cheerleaders to strip down to the undies in the locker room to give the boys something to work for, unfortunately our girls decided to go a different route.
A handful of girls have been disciplined for giving their teammates sodas that contained urine, reports the Fort Worth Star Telegram.
According to a parent of one of the students who drank the tainted beverages, one girl peed into a cup, then mixed in it with the sodas. The other girls then got the idea to distribute the drinks to teammates at the basketball game.
When the prank victims complained the drinks tasted funny, the cheerleaders said it was tart candy.
Source: cnews.canoe.ca
Lets be honest, this is a harmless prank. Disgusting, yes, but relatively harmless. I doubt the girls did this out of hatred or spite, they likely thought it was some disgustingly funny prank. The girls got off light, 2 got an in house suspension while two more got off even easier.
I don't know about you all, but I laughed when I read it.
