Yes, we’re (still) working our way through this pandemic…but while vaccines are coming (more every day), you (still) can’t “shelter” stupid… look at what has happened to these guys and gals…
Some Odds & Ends
Last week we shared the image of the Ever Given lodged and blocking ship traffic through the Suez Canal. Well, it might have looked dumb, but navigating the Suez Canal is a high-stress, complicated feat that requires master piloting skills. Here’s a CNN post that includes a link to an interactive game where you can try your (virtual) hand at doing so…
ProDog Raw is looking to recruit 10 dog lovers to look at pictures of pups, as part of a study to test whether dogs on social media can alleviate people’s stress levels. And it’s a pretty good hourly rate, too.
Meet Llukalkan aliocranianus—“one who causes fear”—or did.
And now for the main “events”:
In Gravesend, UK, an unnamed driver was pulled over for speeding… at what was apparently double the posted limit of 60 mph… and then, to add insult to injury, this happened…
In Boca Chica, Dominican Republic, Marc Feren Claude Biart, 53, led a quiet life here… or did until he posted up a video where he showed off his Italian cooking skills… and a bit more than he should have… no, not that…
Near Boston, Massachusetts, residents recently noticed something strange about the “For Sale” sign outside a home in their neighborhood… makes you wonder about the other houses, doesn’t it…
In Altoona, Pennsylvania, Katelyn Light, 29, walked up to a woman sitting on her porch one recent Sunday evening, flashed her badge, declared her status as a police officer, and told the woman there were about 18 children she had to get out of the basement of the neighbor’s house… there were, however, a few problems with her status…
And finally, in Waterloo, Iowa, James Howard Harrington, 54, broke into a nearby garage about 4 a.m. and made off with an assortment of “loot”… and then later that same night, he absconded with a $43 bottle of Absolut Vodka from the YesWay convenience store here… He had to be creative with regard to his getaway vehicle… since apparently his driver’s license is barred until November 2024… but at least it wasn’t a high-speed chase…
Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
