Yeah - she did custom orders, if I recall right.

Yup.  You read the same article.  That's where the big money was, too.

Didn't she have her boy friend test drive a few pair n special request.

It's not just the guys who are into this. Been selling my skivvies to chicks online for years. At least I think they are chicks? Prices very depending on the brand, material, and how the purchaser wants them enhanced.

I can't recall.  I can't check right now either because Cracked makes my company firewall scream.

German dog-walker has close call with coconut cannon

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — Mar 15, 2017, 7:03 PM ET

A dog walker in the German capital can be thankful he turned out to be a fruitless target after his close call with a coconut cannon.

The man was walking in an industrial area on March 1 when he heard a bang and a ball-shaped projectile flew past him, hitting a nearby lamppost....

But, wait, there's more:

A 23-year-old man told officers he had helped to build the cannon for an art project in the Antarctic and wanted to test it before it was shipped.

Police said Wednesday they impounded the cannon and prosecutors are investigating whether it breaches arms control laws.

If there is any place on Earth that a coconut cannon would come in handy it is in Antarctica. Coconuts are everywhere and you can use them to shoot at the penguins. It will keep them at bay and prevent them from attacking so often.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Charity shop worker accidentally sells electrician’s toolbox while he is fixing light

A charity shop worker accidentally sold an electrician’s toolbox after he put it down for a moment.

Andrew Bickel, 39, was shocked when he found out his equipment (worth £200) had been sold for just £1 while he was away.

He had gone to his van to get a part he needed to fix a light at the store in Cardiff.

It was a job as a favour. They mentioned that they had a faulty light switch so I said I would come back and change the switch,’ he said.

‘I left my tools on a book case and went out to my van to get a switch. I came back in and my tools had gone.’

Burlington man accused of trying to poison wife with Visine
By Evan Bolin   Mar 16, 2017 10:56 PM CST

BURLINGTON (WKOW) -- A Burlington man is accused of using eye drops to poison his wife. 

Prosecutors say 45-year-old Darin Tiedt squirted Visine into his wife's soda, possibly for weeks, before she caught him doing it on Sunday.

Continued: http://www.wkow.com/story/34935863/2017/03/16/burlington-man-accused-of-trying-to-poison-wife

There is a record of using this as a poison in other cases, who knows how often this has occurred in cases we don't know of?

I'd be concerned about toxoplasmosis. Let the cat do its own licking. The dog does...

Exactly. You would be stirring up a cloud of dander, mites, snd other filth, right under your nose and mouth. It would be like brushing your cat and then snorting whatever comes off like cocaine. This is an insanely bad idea.
Still waiting for someone to make the obvious sex joke with this. Surprised it hasn't happened already.

I do try not to let this thread get overloaded with "dumb criminals" type stuff, but the headline writers do make it difficult to resist sometimes:

Woman assaults mother with cheeseburger

Police are investigating after a woman assaulted her mother with a cheeseburger at an east-side McDonald's.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were called to the McDonald's at 21st Street and Shadeland Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

The two women got in a fight after the mom told her daughter she could no longer stay at her home, said IMPD Officer Aaron Hamer. The mom drove her daughter to someone else's house, but on the way, the daughter changed her mind about where she wanted to go.

The 60-year-old mother told officers her daughter, 39, started yelling at her, so she stopped at the McDonald's drive-thru. The daughter was screaming and yelling as they drove, Hamer said.

After stopping in the parking lot so other passengers in the car could use the bathroom, the mother told police her daughter said she wished her mom would die, Hamer said.

"While her daughter was seated in the front passenger seat she took a bite out of her cheeseburger," Hamer said. "The victim stated her daughter yelled 'B---h I outta kill you' and hit her in the left side of her face with her hand and the cheeseburger."

The mom told police she had pain on the left side of her face, and officers saw that she had ketchup and mustard down the front of her shirt. Pickles, ketchup and mustard were splattered across the interior door of the car. The mom's face was red and swollen, Hamer said.

The daughter got into another driver's vehicle and fled the scene, Hamer said.
