Its a stock image of a dog, that's even better IMO.

No, it's always the third in command. For the longest time, you always knew Bin Laden was #1 and al-Zawahiri #2. But #3- the military has killed like 50 of them.

This is bizarre - a a bunny makes headlines in Germany for being born without ears, and in the course of all the publicity about him, he's killed by a cameraman who accidentally stepped on him.

It's like the Circle of [Media] Life


In this photo taken Wednesday, March 14, 2012, a two-week old earless bunny sits on the hands of a keeper at the zoo in Limbach-Oberfrohna, eastern Germany. The bunny that was a rising star on Germany's celebrity animal scene had its 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was accidentally stepped on by a television cameraman. The fate of 17-day-old Til the bunny with a genetic defect was plastered across German newspapers on Thursday, the same day a small zoo in Saxony was to have presented him to the world at a press conference. The unidentified cameraman who had been filming the bunny in its enclosure Wednesday told Bild he hadn't seen Til, who had buried himself in hay, when he took a step backward.

He was filiming him, and yet somehow missed that he went into the hay? Way to go, cameraman.

cartman 03-15-2012 10:42 AM

I think the cameraman was just hungry for some hasenpfeffer.

Unless there's a part of the story we haven't seen, you'd think the executive that did the firing after being told why they were wearing orange, that he'd change his mind.

However, since he's never lost a case, I'm sure he won't change his mind.

Metro police shocked by man's wild crime spree - WSMV Channel 4

Some funny stuff in this article:

Officers said Todd broke into the Slaughterhouse and stole a Taser, revolver and shotgun. Then, they said he shot the business up, stole a T-shirt and set the business on fire.

Police said Todd then found four people leaving a local bar. He held them at gunpoint, tased one, pistol whipped another, then took off with their cash and credit cards.

Five minutes later investigators said Todd carjacked a cab at gunpoint, then headed off to commit fraud, and used his newly acquired stolen credit cards to buy food.

"He was able to find the Walmart on Nolensville. He goes there and purchased $199 worth of items," said Blackburn.

Next stop: Hotel Indigo at 6 a.m.

Police said Todd broke into a law office there, ransacked the business then defecated on a desk, smearing feces on some of the framed law degrees.

He then knocked on several hotel room doors pretending to be a female housekeeper.
In one case, police said Todd stole $600 from a Canadian couple at gunpoint, crying the whole time.

Before taking off in his stolen cab once again, officers said Todd opted for a new look.
"We have him on video leaving the hotel with a shaved head," said Blackburn.

At 9 a.m., police said Todd crashed the stolen cab into a parking garage.

At 11:30 a.m., he hailed a new one and headed to Opryland, then held the cab driver at knifepoint.

Police finally caught up with Todd at noon. They said he was hiding on top of Opryland, submerged in a water-cooling vat with water up to his nose.

This is one of the reasons why I do not use public bathrooms...you never know how long it's been since it was last cleaned. Oh, they have their little handy dandy piece of paper on the door with check marks on it, but, that doesn't mean the bathroom was actually cleaned.
