At Udelnaya, Russia.
Probably won't be on the agenda for an FFA project anytime soon.

Just Call Him Fatty Dread
A heavyset man with dreadlocks has robbed the same south Florida bank four times in the last year, prompting one teller on the most recent occasion to say "He's here again."
He's such a regular customer that the bank should probably give him a free toaster.

Check Out Mao Guevara
A new statue of Chinese dictator Mao Zedong features him with long, flowing hair:
Ready for his close-up on the t-shirts of young lefties everywhere.

Sounds Like An Employee or Ex-Employee
Two women who were making after-hours bank deposits for Petro Express gasoline stations were robbed while standing in front of the night deposit boxes.
Someone knows about the inside workings of the company, obviously. Police should probably be looking at recently hired and ex-employees who might have worked at the two stores.
Gosh, I feel so much like Sherlock Holmes when I do that...

12 Billion Rounds
Gun owners purchased 12 billion rounds of ammunition in 2009.
In a normal year, 7 to 10 billion are sold.
I wonder if Barack Obama should ask for a commission on the additional rounds sold?

Gun Control I Agree With
Carey Andrew Shaw received a 10-year prison sentence for possession of a gun by a convicted felon.
No eligibility for parole on the charge either, I notice. If that was done in more gun crime cases we'd have the makings of a pretty safe country here.

Dr. Frankenstein's Bride

I Hate It When That Happens
A passenger suffered a premature ejection when he stupidly decided to pull a distinctively colored lever inside the cockpit of a fighter jet.
It probably is best not to fiddle with switches or controls when riding in the back seat of an air force plane.
A man who failed to obey that principle found himself hurtling out of the cockpit, smashing through the Perspex canopy and into space after grabbing the black- and yellow-striped handle between his legs. He had inadvertently pulled the eject lever and found himself blasted 100 metres into the sky on his rocket-powered seat.
The South African air force has confirmed the incident that took place last Wednesday, when the passenger took off for a flight with an experienced pilot from South Africa's Silver Falcons air display team. Investigators are assuming that the passenger tried to steady himself while the pilot was putting the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II through its paces by grabbing the eject lever.
Dumbass.

Apparently An Abortion Was Too Expensive So...
...Dameon Gatson hired a "fetus killer" for $40 to punch his girlfriend, Shyloe Linde, repeatedly in the abdomen.
The baby, born prematurely, died nine days later.
I get so goddamned tired of reading about all of this ghetto behavior.

When Your Shipmates Are Thugs
Some harsh words concerning liberty (recreational time ashore for sailors) in the US Navy:
“Training, liberty briefings and harsh [nonjudicial punishments] did not work by themselves,” said Chief Warrant Officer 4 Brian Sullivan, electronics material officer aboard the 7th Fleet command ship Blue Ridge. “So we are now back to liberty cards and the buddy system. If it were not for anti-terrorism concerns, I believe, we would be back to wearing our uniforms on liberty and civilian clothes would be a privilege again.
“Until we can go for a period of time without robbing, stabbing, raping and even killing [people in] our host nations and visiting ports of call, I do not see the system changing,” said Sullivan, who believes bouts of media attention to embarrassing public incidents “are driving most of the restrictions on our liberty.”
I'd guess that much of the problem lies in lowering of recruitment standards during this wartime period in order to maintain manning levels, and overall coarsening of US culture.

UK: Remembrance Day To Include Deserters, Conscientious Objectors?
Believe it or not.
That would be similar to us here in the US having to honor draft dodgers and deserters on Memorial Day. Rather ludicrous when you think about it.

Just Call Him SIR Christopher
Christopher Lee has been given his long-overdue knighthood, on Halloween, of all days.
It probably would have happened long ago if he had spent more time on the stage instead of focusing on films. Still, congratulations to Sir Christopher Lee.
