Goat detained over armed robbery

January 26th, 2009 | Category: humor grab bag

This was an article from Yahoo News. You can’t make this stuff up.

Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.

Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

“The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat,” Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters by telephone.

“We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat,” he said.

Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.

Photos of San Juan

January 06th, 2009 | Category: Inside the Mind

During a serious of unfortunate events I was waylaid in San Juan for 36 hours.  It was a great place to be trapped for a day considering I had a digital camera and no where to go.  One of the most beautiful things about old town San Juan is the beautifully painted buildings and doors.  I just loved all  the colors and things that I saw while trapped because of bad airlines.

I love the Onion. That said they did a great spoof on the marketing of apple. If you are an apple fan you might not get a laugh. If you are a pc person you will mostly all get a laugh. And if you are a usability person you will get two laughs. –>> Continue reading Apple and its innovations.
