I wouldn’t want to be James Haggerty right now. He’s being blamed for losing a $1.35 million painting, and he’s being sude. Hell, I might want to have a drink or 6, even if a drink or 6 was what got me into this mess. But I also wouldn’t want to be Kristyn Trudgeon or …

The Wayfinder Access Refund Program Is Up
Well, here’s the final Wayfinder Access update. That refund program they promised is alive and functioning. Here’s the general page, and here’s the refund application form. Three things of note: If you bought more than one region code, say so in the notes section because you’re owed 300 euros per region. Also, apparently you don’t …

Transaction Canceled
Wow. We have yet another ATM-smasher. This one, unlike the other two, did not become enraged that she lost her bank card in the machine. She just wanted money, so came to the machine with a claw hammer and set to work on the machine for 20 minutes. She caused $8000 in damage, and her …
The Classroom Was A Buzz Of Activity
I think Kyle Dubois should have read the story of Kirsten Taylor before he thought that attaching aligator clips to his nipples and then having someone plug him in would be a good idea. Of course, it wasn’t, and his heart stopped. Luckily, or maybe unluckily, paramedics were able to attach paddles to that same …
Betcha Can’t Get me! Oh! You Can!
Hey there unnamed 19-year-old German bank robber. If you managed to get away, and police got your age, height and method of getaway wrong, do not send taunting emails to them and two newspapers to correct them. Just lay low and chuckle to yourself. Oh, you didn’t? They traced the IP and came and scooped …
He Thought He Could Slip Right Through!
Hey there Kevin Michael Harley. Good on you for thinking of a way to not leave fingerprints when breaking into a restaurant, but if your whole body gets stuck in a grease vent, those socks on your hands aren’t going to do you much good.
CHP Does Not Stand For Chicken, Hamburgs and Pizza!
Wow. Amazing. We’ve had people go to the wrong house while drunk, but I’ve never heard of someone mistaking a CHP station for a food store. But he was in a special state when he got out of his car and started asking a cop for a sandwich. I couldn’t do a better job than …

Aaaa! That’s Not Santa!
This story of a doctor’s body being found inside another man’s chimney just keeps getting weirder and weirder. So it starts out that neighbours noticed a bad smell in the neighbourhood and they didn’t know why. Then, someone who was checking on the fish at a neighbour’s house happened to notice fluids in the fireplace, …
A Little Guide Dog Ettiquet Article
Michelle sent me this little “don’t pet the guide dog you moron!” article. Good on the paper for publishing it. It’s sad that the general public needs such reminders, but they’re always welcome. This little article made me think of two things that happened to me recently. I was sitting on the bus and this …
Strangers And Holsters And Beer, Oh My!
Steve sent me this story of late-night chaos, and it would have been a pretty ordinary story, except for two things. First, our star of the show was just strollin’ down the street with a pitcher of beer in his hand. We don’t know if he bought a pitcher of beer and figured he could …
