Gringo masks
Markets in everything.
Miami Company Creates "Gringo Masks" for IllegalsIf you are looking for a way to beat Arizona's new immigration law, look no further than Miami's new Gringo Masks.
The new product, brainchild of Miami advertising agency Zubi Advertising, guarantees the cops won't be stopping you or your loved ones after you put your best white face forward.
The product is simple. Choose from a cut out of a blue-eyed, sandy hair-colored white guy or a green-eyed, blond haired white woman.
Cut the face to fit yours. Poke out the eyes. And presto! You don't look like a "suspicious, potentially illegal" alien. Rubber band or green card not included.

School's out, judge
Woman refuses sentence writing sentenceELLENWOOD, Ga., May 26 (UPI) -- A Georgia woman ordered to write "I will not dishonor myself by passing a school bus" 2,500 times has asked for a jury trial rather than accept the sentence.
Nancy Nguyen, 19, of Ellenwood, was ordered by a Forest Park judge to write the sentence as well as perform community service, pass a defensive driving course and pay a $350 fine after the judge found her responsible for passing a stopped school bus in March, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday.

Field botanists they ain't
Hundreds Of 'Pot Plants' Seized By Texas Cops Aren't MarijuanaMaybe there should be an IQ test for police officers. What was first thought to be one of the largest marijuana seizures in the Corpus Christi Police Department's history turned into an embarrassing incident for the cops, as the clueless officers spent a busy and exciting evening harvesting hundreds of harmless weeds from a city park.
The revealing incident began when a teenager riding his bike through Waldron Park in Flour Bluff discovered what he thought were pot plants growing there about 8 p.m Thursday, reports Bart Bedsole of KRIStv.com.
The would-be junior narc wasted no time in excitedly reporting his "find."
Police then self-importantly hauled away 300 to 400 medium-sized plants that they, too, believed were marijuana.
Exhausted officers only stopped collecting the harmless plants because it got too dark to work; they planned to return bright and early in the morning to look around for more marijuana.
Trouble is, after spending more than an hour laboriously removing and tagging hundreds of plants, and then hauling it all to the police department downtown, testing revealed that none of it was marijuana at all.

At last
After keeping us waiting for a century, Mark Twain will finally reveal allExactly a century after rumours of his death turned out to be entirely accurate, one of Mark Twain's dying wishes is at last coming true: an extensive, outspoken and revelatory autobiography which he devoted the last decade of his life to writing is finally going to be published.
The creator of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and some of the most frequently misquoted catchphrases in the English language left behind 5,000 unedited pages of memoirs when he died in 1910, together with handwritten notes saying that he did not want them to hit bookshops for at least a century.

Druids hired to cut road accidentsMotoroway bosses in Austria secretly hired a full-time team of druids to drain 'negative energy' from accident blackspots.
The team is said to have reduced fatal accidents at one notorious crash site to zero after restoring its "terrestrial radiation".
Chief engineer Harald Dirnbacher from Austria's motorway authority ASFINAG explained: "We were really sceptical at first and certainly didn't want people to know what we were doing, so we kept it secret."
But now the trial results are so impressive officials are spreading the scheme nationwide.

Making the Model T
The $950 Model T price he mentions would be $22,401 in 2009 dollars. Today, MSRP for a Ford Fiesta is $13,300 - with an electric starter, air bags and a wide selection of colors. But of course it won't handle bad roads as well as a Model T.
The $5 daily wage would be an daily wage of $118 in 2009 dollars - or an annual wage of $29,500. I think most auto workers are doing better than that today (the ones still working, that is).

Ms. Muz's American Beauty shower curtain is certainly in keeping with the fact that her film, Tournée, is about burlesque — she herself is a well-known burlesque performer — but the fact that she's completely and totally starkers underneath it, in public and in broad daylight, is vintage crazy. Stay classy, Cannes. By which we mean, please don't ever change.

Chinese Snap to Attention for Bra-Removing Contest(May 18) -- Since the dawn of women's apparel, men have been trying to score by unhooking brassieres. This contest, however, brings the game to a whole new level.
A Chinese shopping mall hosted a competition to find out who could unclasp bras the fastest using just one hand.
Competitors raced to undress a line of eight masked women who stood on a stage in the Guangzhou mall wearing bras and short-shorts.
Eager participants entered the contest to fulfill their dreams and have the chance to take home a mall gift certificate for 1,000 yuan -- about $146 -- according to AsianPopular.com.

You are what you eat
City requires lingerie store to get food permit for having tasty treatsRosemary Benitez thought it was a joke at first. She was told her store was going to need a food permit in order to stay in business.
But Benitez doesn't own a restaurant. She owns the Shades of Love lingerie store on West Bitters road.
Shades of Love sells racy lingerie, high heel shoes, adult toys and items meant to enhance a couple's sex life. However, some of those items are edible. That's why the health department ruled the store needed a food permit. [...]
Beneitez says, "Everything is sold as novelty. Everything in the box says 'novelty item' only... It's not something you sit down and actually eat. It's more for licking and tasting. Edible? No. It's not going to fill you up."

Steve Durnin's ingenious new gearbox design is infinitely variable - that is, with your motor running at a constant speed, the D-Drive transmission can smoothly transition from top gear all the way through neutral and into reverse. It doesn't need a clutch, it doesn't use any friction drive components, and the power is always transmitted through strong, reliable gear teeth.

The result is this amazing time-lapse video that documents the creation of the logo, which took about five and a half hours to create. A camera took a shot every seven seconds and the entire thing has been compressed into less than a minute and a half for your convenience. Enjoy.

Man gets stuck in toilet trying to retrieve cell phoneA Chinese student had to be rescued by firefighters after he got his arm stuck down a toilet trying to retrieve his cell phone.
The Chongqing Technology and Business University student was using the toilet in his dorm while on his phone before accidentally dropping it down the hole, the Orange News reports. In a desperate act to try and get it back, he wrapped newspaper around his arm and went in after the device.
While the young man hoped the newspaper would keep his arm clean, it instead expanded in the water and trapped his arm in the U-tube of the toilet.

Getting an eyeful
'Drinking' neat vodka through your EYE for a quick buzz?
It sounds insane, but countless young people are risking their sight in this new crazeEven as drunken student antics go, it was, by any stretch of the imagination, a disturbing scene. Surrounded by cheering rugby players, applauded by fellow members of the university netball team, 19-year-old Melissa Fontaine tipped back her head and giggled as fellow drinkers in the Students' Union bar pulled apart her eyelids and allowed them to pour a shot of vodka into her left eye.
'Vodka eyeballing', as it is known in student circles, is the latest drinking craze to sweep through Britain's universities.
Those who do it claim that it induces feelings of drunkenness at break-neck speeds, providing an instant high. [...]
Melissa, who left university last summer and is now 22, believes they are right to be worried. Her constantly watering left eye has been left permanently scarred by her antics. More worryingly still, she has been warned that her eyesight may deteriorate further as she gets older.

Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail around the globe solo, nonstop, and unassisted when she cruised into Sydney Harbour in her pink, 34-foot yacht to a rock-star welcome. She successfully maneuvered her boat through raging storms, 40-foot waves, and seven knockdowns during the 23,000-nautical-mile journey that critics thought she would not survive.

Winng the battle and losing the war
Cop who said he wouldn't get a break gets a breakCraig Lancaster wanted to prove that Chicago Police officers are treated the same as others when they break the law, Cook County prosecutors said.
So in a drunken argument with a friend last summer, prosecutors said, the 41-year-old veteran officer shot a gun in the air outside an Ashburn bowling alley where he also worked security -- and waited.
Within minutes, Lancaster appeared to have won the debate when officers arrived on the scene and arrested him. He was charged with two counts of reckless discharge of a firearm.
But on Friday, some might argue, he caught a break -- but seemingly lost the argument.
Judge Marcus Salone acquitted Lancaster, who was apparently captured on surveillance cameras with his arms in the air. Lancaster could be seen on video holstering a gun seconds later as he walked back into the Bluebird Lanes Bowling Alley, at 3900 W. Columbus, prosecutors said.

The deadly DHMO
New Age terrorists develop homeopathic bombThe world has been placed on a heightened security alert following reports that New Age terrorists have harnessed the power of homeopathy for evil. ‘Homeopathic weapons represent a major threat to world peace,’ said President Barack Obama, ‘they might not cause any actual damage but the placebo effect could be quite devastating.’
The H2O-bomb has been developed by the radical New Age group, The Axis of Aquarius. [...]
Homeopathic bombs are comprised of 99.9% water but contain the merest trace element of explosive. The solution is then repeatedly diluted so as to leave only the memory of the explosive in the water molecules. According to the laws of homeopathy, the more that the water is diluted, the more powerful the bomb becomes.
‘It was only a matter of time before these people got hold of the material that they needed to make these bombs,’ said former UN weapons inspector, Hans Blix, ‘The world is a much more dangerous place with the advent of these Weapons of Mass Dilution.’

From here to tweeternity: Twitter to be preserved for posterityIf you ever needed a good reason to be especially careful what you say on Twitter, you now have at least two.
In what really sounds like a late April Fools' Day joke, the Library of Congress has announced (via Twitter, naturally) it is planning to archive all Twitter messages dating back to March 2006. That's right -- every mindless tweet about someone's cat and/or lunch, every breathless utterance from Ashton, all 10,785,632 tweets from the Guy Kawasaki Twitter Sweat Shop (oops, make that 10,785,635), all of it, right there next to Lincoln's speeches and the Gutenberg Bible.

A practical solution
Porn Company Has Plan to Stop SEC Time-WastingPink Visual, fleeting recipient of a Newt Gingrich "Entrepreneur of the Year" award, is back in the news again. On the heels of the Securities and Exchange Commission's porn-surfing scandal, the adult entertainment company has issued a plea to the agency to "Stop Wasting Our Tax Dollars -- Surf After Work."
Rather than simply curse the darkness, though, Pink lights a candle (and puts on some Al Green) by offering a way for government workers to get their porn fix, while keeping both hands free in the workplace. They'll have a chance to surf free Pink porn for a two-week trial period, as long as they do it before or after work. We contacted Pink to get the ins and outs of their special offer.
According to their press release, "Starting on May 5, new customers who sign up using a '.gov' email address will be given a free two-week trial to the company's flagship subscription website Pink Visual Pass, provided that the workers only use the site between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m."
Anyone who signs up will be denied access if they try to log on during the day.

A powerful prayer
At the end of his service a preacher said, "Anyone with a special need who wants to be prayed over, please come to the front by the altar."
With that, Leroy got in line and when it was his turn, the preacher asked, "Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?"
Leroy replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy's ear, placed his other hand on top of Leroy's head and then prayed and prayed and prayed.
He prayed a blue streak for Leroy and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm. After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and asked, "Leroy, how is your hearing now?"
"I don't know yet," answered Leroy. "It ain't 'til next week."
