Weird and Funny News to Get you through the day

A police officer in was directing traffic outside of a concert. He noticed a familiar-looking truck driving by — his own. The sight led to the arrest of James Matthew Herring, 22. He was charged with theft and evading arrest, police said.

Officer Jerry Varner said he parked his pickup about 100 yards from where he was directing traffic Saturday night. He said he didn't see anyone breaking. He did recognize his truck driving by him though.

When Varner ordered the driver to pull over, the man put the truck in reverse and attempted to get away, striking several vehicles, police said.

When police cars sorrounded the truck, Herring tried to flee but was caught shortly after.

Funny Joke of the day
Gravy Ladle
John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional."

About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote:

"Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."

Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"

Fat Mayra Rosales

Weird news and Funny news

Though Mayra Rosales, 27, stands charged with capital murder in Hidalgo County, Texas, she was not ordered to jail pending trial but was allowed home detention because of her obesity. At about 1,000 pounds, Rosales requires special transportation and facilities and was ruled by a judge in August certainly to be no "flight risk."

Well, being fat can come in handy right?

Sextuplets

Sextuplets born to New York Couple

After they already had one kid, Digna and Victor Carpio gave birth to six more in one shot. Jhan Carlos Carpio, who is 7, just got 6 more siblings, four brothers and two sisters.

Justin, Danelia, Jezreel, Genesis, Joel and Jadon Carpio were born at 25 weeks and weighed about 2 pounds each. "I've watched each of my babies fight so hard to survive," Digna told the New York Daily News. "Life is beautiful, and we're so thankful."

This is a weird but good story. These babies showed true fight, and now Digna and Victor Carpio only have to take care of seven kids. Imagine when they are all teenagers at the same time? They will have a load to take care of.

Sausage Diapers?

www.comcast.net

Sausage aka Chorizo was found in soiled Diapers?

Customs found a soiled diaper at a U.S. Mexico crossing. It was soiled with.. Sausage? The diapers were folded to look soiled, but all that was found inside was spicy links of pork sausage. A South Texas woman admitted to doing it. She was not identified after the incident, and was fined $300.

and the kicker..

Her chorizo was seized by border patrol.


I don't know what she was trying to achieve, maybe she was just really pissed, but this just seems stupid to me. So she lost money paying for sausage and diapers, and was fined $300 dollars. Oh, and she is an idiot.

This took place at a Del Taco in Colorado.

There just isn't much thats better than tacos, but with pot? Just some weird news for you to enjoy throughout the day.

Black Friday

Uh-Oh, here it comes. Black Friday is less than a month away, that one day where it is impossible to move in stores and it takes 3 hours to buy 5 movies. Which you are getting because they all cost $3.99.


Websites to find deals

www.TheblackFriday.com
www.bfads.net
www.iblackfriday.com

Also, be sure to be around for Cyber Monday, which is the Monday after Black friday in which the most online sales are made every year. It is a little unknown thing, but if you are trying to sell stuff online, list it on Black Friday, because if nobody has found it by Monday, they will.

The Quickie

Just a quick joke for everyone

Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their ten year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few minutes passed.

"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out, "Matt's riding a new bike and the Coopers are having sex."

Mom and Dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" The startled father asked.

"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.

Saw V scenes

These can be some spoilers so be careful before you continue on reading. These are pictures that have been released, but it is not definite they will be added into the film yet. With every picture, I get more excited to see this flick. I hope it is all it's cracked up to be. It better be way better than Saw IV which I was very dissapointed by. Come visit again, as I will have the movie posted when it is released to watch online free.

These pictures are Saw V sneak previews.









The movie looks pretty gory from that one picture, and as you can see Tobin Bell has returned yet again. This is supposably the last of the Saw movies, and if you haven't seen any, I suggest you head down to blockbuster and rent them because they are good. I suggest the first and second, as the third and fourth were too complex, but I think the fifth will be awesome.

Rays and Phillies

I am disgusted to watch the Rays play right now. After a Cinderella Story season, it is just terrible to watch. They are playing right now like they could care less, which is just awful. This team had one of the best records in the regular season, and proved themselves in the Playoffs by beating the Red Sox in the ALCS.

My disappointments
Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena, the 3-4 hitters do not have a hit yet in the series.
Sonnanstine - Bad start from a guy who shuts down most AL teams.
B.J. Upton - After 2 great series before he is playing down to what he is able to.

There are others, but right now it is just awful watching the Rays lose to this Phillies ball club. When Jamie Moyer and Joe Blanton shut you down on back to back nights you need to realize you suck.

Hannah Overton

In 2006, 4 year old Andrew Burd was brought to the hospital without a clue of what was wrong with him. Blood tests proved that he had salt poisoning. His level of hypernatremia was almost double of the highest ever recorded.

Everyone turned to Hannah Overton, 29 year old pregnant mother of four who was currently adopting Andrew. She and her husband were arrested immediately, but swore they were not guilty of this crime. She said she put a few dashes of creole seasoning in a sippy cup of water instead of giving him more food for lunch that day. He got sick, and Hannah thought it was just a flu, until it didn't get worse. She brought him to the hospital where he died shortly thereafter. It was then when she was arrested.

People in their community were outraged, and raised $700,000 for their cause. They said Hannah Overton was a good christian and would be the last person to do this.

-Larry Overtons comment-
"We were just waiting for someone to look at it and say 'This is just an accident,'" Larry Overton told "20/20." "Instead, we were arrested."

Hannah said recently Andrew had been eating any kind of food he could find. After dinners he would go through the garbage can and eat the dog and the cat food.

Hannah Overton was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison in September 2007.

"I just kind of broke down," Larry Overton said. "And I just stared out a window for ... I don't know ... probably about an hour."

Larry is now a single father with five children, including the newbord Hannah was pregnant with during the time of Andrews death.

My Story
I believe she wasn't guilty. The problem was that she most likely got angry at the boy and put a couple of teaspoons of this creole seasoning in his water. I am sure she didn't have the intentions of killing Andrew, considering she already had kids and had no criminal record. America is strict on their laws though, and this is a good lesson to learn.

Cuzco Peru

Cusco mob attacks municipality, radio station and mayor's home.

A mob of citizens have been protesting the construction of a hydroelectric plant in Peru. Specifically in Canchis, a province in the region of Cusco(Pronounced Cuzco). Two Policemen were attacked when confronting the angry mob of people. The protestors attacked sicuani radio station and organized a protest outside of the national bank. They destroyed office supplies and equipment in the radio station. Tourists and students have been stranded in this region of Peru and ask for help. The mob is starting to block major roads and bridges, not allowing anyone to get through.

The Story
I think these people are crazy. They will not get what they want and they are wasting their time. Anyone who is in that mob should get out immediately because they will be arrested if they continue.

The other thing is that a hydroelectric plant is actually good for the environment, and the only huge drawback is that if there is no water, then it will not function. But, water is a renewable resource and the plant is unlikely to run out of water, and if it does, you can always get extra from lakes, rivers, and other sources.

The mob is stupid and should stop now before during further damage to their country.

Cusco Cuzco Peru

Jennifer Hudson



This is certainly not a "Good Friday"
Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were killed today in Chicago. Darnell and Jason Hudson were found dead at 3:00 in the chicago home investigators said. Police say it is "domestic" which also means it was not a robbery. Jennifer Hudson was an American Idol contestant, and was the star of the movie Dream Girls. She is also an oscar winner.

The Story
Police have not found a specific motive yet. This story was very sad news for me to hear. Nothing is worse than when two innocent people are killed. I feel bad for Jennifer Hudson, and this shows that celebrities have problems just as much as everyone else. I feel bad for Jennifer, who had life in her hands up until this point. I wish the best to Jennifer and the rest of her family, as she will be deeply missed.

Lute Olson

Lute Olson

An article I wrote for www.DailySportsUpdate.Net

Longtime Arizona men's basketball coach Lute Olson is reportedly stepping down. He had 25 years at Arizona, and missed the entire 2007-2008 season during a divorce. Lute Olson is now 74. In his 25 years he has a 780-280 career record at Arizona, Iowa, and Long Beach State. His record with the Wildcats was 589-187. This includes a national championship in 1997, four Final Four appearances, 11 Pac-10 titles, and 20 consecutive 20-win seasons. Olson has also won seven Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards.

Olson announced last year he would be returning to Arizona for another year, so his successor Kevin O'Neill left the program and took a job as assistant coach for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies. Olson made it obvious he wanted to be there another year, but just couldn't do it. He took a leave of absence last year in November and O'Neill took over from that point. Arizona finished seventh in the Pac-10 last year, the worst finish they've had since the 1982-1983 season - the year before Olson was head coach there. Arizona still ran their streak of NCAA appearances to 24, despite missing head coach Lute Olson.

The most likely cause of Lute Olson stepping down is his age and health. When taking a leave of absence for a divorce last year, he also said it was for health reasons too. He is now 74 years of age, and has 25 years of basketball under his belt. While he did enjoy a good run at Arizona, his age is starting to catch up with him.

Vitale says associate coach Mike Dunlap will fill in for Lute Olson as interim coach. Arizona has denied this report. The best bet now is to wait and see.

I give my best wishes to Lute Olson, his family, and his friends. He had a great run as a college basketball coach, and Arizona will miss him dearly this season. The Wildcats will play their first opener on November 17 against Florida Atlantic. This will be their first opener without Lute Olson in the program in two decades, and I wish Arizona and Lute Olson the best.

Oprah Sued

Oprah sued over man's arrest on extortion charge

A Louisiana man has filed a lawsuit against Oprah Winfrey, claiming she and an attorney made false statements that led the FBI to arrest him on charges that he tried to extort the talk-show host.

Keifer Bonvillain who had charges dismissed, looks to get $180 million from Oprah.

He was arrested in December of 2006. He had a phone conversation with an employee of Oprah's production company and told a company associate he wanted to publish a book based on the recordings. Bonvillain was arrested when a company associate agreed to pay him 1.5 million dollars. Bonvillian claims he did everything he could to avoid illegal activity.

Chip Babcock, who is a lawyer for Harpo productions said "And we know that this whole episode started when the plaintiff wiretapped a Harpo employee in California," he said. "We advised (Bonvillain) that we believe that wiretapping was illegal, and this case will give us an opportunity to determine whether we were right about that."

My Opinion
Who would sue Oprah? She is one of the most powerful women in the world and this guy thinks he is going to win? Well most likley she will lost about 0.00000000....1 of her earnings in court dates, but she really did nothing wrong and this guy is looking to win a case he can't. This guy claims he did everything he could to avoid illegal activity, yet he was talking to someone from Oprah's production company about getting money. He will most likely lose and nothing will come of this.

Fun Fact
I once heard a story about a man who tried to sue someone for "Stealing his wave."

Mortgage Attorney

Mortgage Attorney Shot to Death

Police in Suffolk County say a man found lying in a Commack restaurant parking lot Monday afternoon had been shot in the head.
The victim was identified as 44-year-old mortgage attorney James J. Di Martino, of Nesconset.

The story
So a woman was in a parking lot and saw a man laying in a pool of his own blood. Now something like this is just awful. It is terrible the things people do to others just because they don't get their way. The lady immediately called 911, and the police arrived shortly thereafter. The woman actually made a wrong turn into the parking lot and by the time the police arrived there was no trace of evidence. So, this man killed an attorney who either screwed him over, or he was just really pissed off. Killing is not the way to go, if you want to kill, go hunting and do it legally, don't kill people who do not deserve it. The only people that deserved to be killed are the ones on Death Row.

Some Jokes!








Jewish and Chinese Pilots.

A plane leaves Los Angeles airport under the control of a Jewish captain.

His copilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together, and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike.

Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, 'I don't like Chinese.'

'No rike Chinese?' asks the copilot, '....why not?'

'You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why !'

'No, no,' the co-pilot protests, 'Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That Japanese, not Chinese.'

'Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese... doesn't matter, you're all alike!'

There's a few minutes of silence.

'I no rike Jews either!' the copilot suddenly announces.

'Oh yeah, why not?' asks the captain.

'Jews sink Titanic.'

'What? That's insane! Jews didn't sink the Titanic!' exclaims the captain, 'It was an iceberg!'

'Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg ...no mattah... all same.'

Organic?

It is the new thing in food. Go Organic. The foods contain no hormones and won't make you sick blah blah blah. Is this really true? Alex Avery's "The truth about Organics" will make you save a couple dollars on your next trip to the supermarket. There is nothing proven that says Organics are really better for you. Heres something to remember the next time you are buying: "Organic food is more likely to carry pathogenic bacteria, such as salmonella and E. coli, because of the type of fertilizer that organic farmers use" Avery said. He also said that "Some of the natural pesticides used in organic farming are quite toxic." Avery also says that Organic Milk does not have one difference from regular milk when tested.

What about organic foods positive effects on the environment?
Well, Organic foods require less energy in terms of fertilizer use, conventional farms can produce more food with less energy. In the end, Organic foods will cause more harm to the environment than conventional foods.

My opinion: Until it is actually proven that these "whole foods" really help your health, only buy certain organic foods and stick to conventional ones for now. It is not worth spending more on something organic if it could have a negative effect, and people have been eating conventional foods for years and we haven't found big negative effects. I suggest buying organic spaghetti sauces, peaches, strawberries, potatoes, corn, and tomatoes. Peaches are very high in pesticides, and when produced organically they can lose some of these. Other foods, particularly onions, won't make a difference whether produced organically or conventionally.

Best Barbecue



Its fall, its football season, and the weekends are a time for barbecue and football. I am going to tell you today some barbecue techniques I use for ribs and chicken. First off, I am going to suggest small chicken with bones, which includes drumsticks and mini chicken wings. Usually chicken breast tends to become dry and these other two just come out with better taste. I prefer to use homemade barbecue sauce with this recipe, which is sweet and smoky at the same time.

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/3 cup chili sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon liquid hickory smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder

In a small saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in butter until soft. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Delicious on chopped pork sandwiches or use with chicken. Do not cook too hot, just simmer and make sure all ingredients mix together.

You may change things as you please, but I enjoy this recipe very much and I found an original on www.about.com and these are my revisions which aren't very much.

Now I am going to tell you how to make barbecued chicken drumsticks or wings, and ribs.

Chicken Drumsticks
Smother barbecue sauce all over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Take chicken out and keep the remains of the marinade sauce. I suggest cooking chicken on aluminum foil sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray or rubbed with olive oil to prevent dark crispy spots. Put chicken on aluminum foil and put grill to medium heat. Cook 15-20 minutes, coating once with marinade halfway through cooking time. Turn chicken and coat again, and let cook 20-30 more minutes. Be sure to re-coat marinade 2-3 times. Chicken is done when juices run clear. If you have any remainder of the barbecue sauce which wasn't in contact with the raw chicken, put on the chicken now for added flavor and messiness.

Chicken Wings
Wings will come out better deep fried, but here I am going to tell you to grill them because it is a healthier option. Remove smallest section of each wing and throw out. Take the remaining wings and marinade for about 30 minutes in the fridge, turning once halfway through. Preheat grill. Place wings straight onto grill grates and cook 20 minutes, 10 minutes each side over medium-low heat. Be sure to rub sauce on once when turning. Take off. Place barbecue sauce on at end that didn't come in contact with raw chicken wings.

Ribs
Marinate ribs one hour in barbecue sauce and add one cup orange juice. Place in fridge. Preheat oven to 250 degrees right before you take ribs out of refrigerator. Get a baking pan and put ribs neatly into baking pan. Cook for about three hours depending on amount of ribs you are cooking. Ribs should fall off bone. If you want them to be crispy, preheat grill to medium heat and cook each side 5 minutes or until barbecue sauce becomes crispy.

If you are hosting a party, these are two great recipes. It is easy to put ribs in oven while cooking hot dogs, burgers, or chicken on the grill. Everyone loves these ribs, and be sure to make sure juices are clear before serving, because more ribs=more time. Good luck and hopefully you use these recipes at your next barbecue.

Lose weight with soup

Lose weight in two days
Losing weight isn't always easy and everyone knows that. How do you stop yourself from getting that extra cracker or that extra chip? It can actually be quite easy. If you are looking for low calorie meals, look no further than soup. One can of Steak and Potato Chunky Cambells soup has only 260 calories and has 20 grams of protein. Not to mention it is very filling with pieces of steak and potato and mushroom in it. The real trick isn't eating the soup, its eating it without sides (crackers, chips, cookies, ice cream etc.)

fact
One cup of crushed Saltines = 300 calories.
http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-crackers-saltines-i18228

Try eating soup for lunch and drink a bottle of cold water on the side. This will help you to lose weight because cold water also increases your metabolism and helps you burn more calories.
Soups low in calories
1 Cup of Cambells chicken noodle = 120 calories and only 3g of fat.
1 Cup of Progresso traditional chicken noodle = 100 calories and only 2g of fat.
1 Cup of Cambells chicken and rice = 90 calories and only 3g of fat.

It isn't hard eating these soups, its hard turning down that big cheeseburger or cheesesteak which is loaded with 600-800 calories and just eating around 2 - 2.5 cups of soup. If you decide to get fast food instead of get soup, you will lose money and gain calories.
Everyday choice of 250 calorie soup over a 650 calorie burger for lunch
One day you save = 400 calories
One week you save = 2800 calories(3000 calories = 1 pound)
One month you save = 12,000 calories(4 pounds)
One year you save = 146,000 calories(roughly 48.5 pounds)

Now although this can be a little skewed, if you are trying to lose weight, it may not be the best idea to eat that burger and it could be a good idea to eat the soup, you can lose around 4 pounds a month. Next time you need lunch and want it to be good for you, go to the supermarket and pick up soup, it is microwavable, easy to eat, and most importantly good for you!

Gears of War 2

With this game hitting the market, I cannot wait to buy and try. Gears of War one was awesome and Gears of War two looks very similar based on the videos and pictures I have seen but a lot of the glitch's were probably fixed. I Just played Gears of War and now I want this game.

Game description from ign.com
The gears of war continue to turn as Marcus Fenix and his squad of Cogs go back into action in the sequel to Microsoft and developer Epic Games' blockbuster action title. Gears of War 2 continues the story of Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad, locked in an increasingly desperate battle against the nightmarish Locust Horde for the survival of humanity. The game promises to be an epic saga of survival, loss, and retribution. Just as Gears of War set the standard for high-definition visuals, Gears of War 2 raises the bar even further with the amazing technological advances of Unreal Engine 3, delivering a bigger, badder, and more intense experience as the story continues.

Some Pictures

Action shot



Another Action shot, pretty awesome



So if you are looking for a new game, and can't decide what to buy, I recommend buying this one, even if you wait a month because after christmas there will be a lot of used ones for sale. The game releases on November 11, 2008 and I will probably pick it up within that week and write my own review on it. Right now I am addicted to NCAA Football 09, I couldn't recommend that game enough.

Recession

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Lately, broker is the right name for him. With the 700 billion dollar bill just being accepted, it is just wait and see for America. Stocks have been plummeting for the past couple months and it is clear that our country is in a recession. I don't understand how just all of a sudden we got into a recession and how come everybody talks about it? No one wants to invest right now because it is risky, and people know that because you can't turn on the news without hearing about the fact our country has been going downhill. Think of this one...
If the government never said we were in a recession, would we be in one?
I ask this question because if people didn't know we were in a recession they would still be buying stocks and investing, but since people are aware of it, they hold on to their money and only buy necessity's. This has put many shops out of business, and made many people bankrupt. Next time our country is booming or sinking, how about we don't tell anyone about it?

Stupid O.J.

I'm not talking about tropicana, I am talking about stupid O.J. Simpson. Did he ever hear of the saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me?" Obviously not, after he actually got away with murder, he goes and does something else stupid.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/10/04/simpson.jury/index.html

The Jurors said they all disagreed in his trial 13 years ago in which he was tried for killing his wife and got off. This time he was guilty with 12 charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. This ex-football player and now convict attempted to steal memorabilia he said was stolen from him.

My opinion: O.J. Simpson should already be in jail but its good he is now. Everyone who voted not guilty when O.J. did murder his wife should serve in a prison for 2 months because they are partially responsible for this crime. He should serve the rest of his life in prison and hopefully he does. How could someone so rich(Winona Ryder) try to steal when they can already have so many things others can't. Instead of stealing, how about donating like most honorable celebrities do? O.J. is officially an idiot.
