Re: The random krap and bizarre pics thread
I saw a guy outside of Safeway the other day with a sign that said "Will work for food".
I bought him a coconut and said "Work on this!"

The random krap and bizarre pics thread
Its not allergies, its environmental illness"
http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2008/10/allentown_area_woman_ordered_o.html
Ten hours a day, every day, Elizabeth Feudale-Bowes confines herself to a galvanized steel and porcelain shed outside her house. Inside are a toilet, a metal cabinet, a box spring with the metal coils exposed, and a pile of organic cotton blankets. Aluminum foil covers the window.
The place is as austere as a prison cell -- but it's also her sanctuary from an outside world that she says makes her violently ill. She and her husband call the structure "the bubble."
This bubble, though, may be about to burst: A judge has ordered it taken down by the end of the month.
Some of the couple's neighbors in suburban South Whitehall Township complained that the 160-square-foot building is unstable and so unsightly it could drag down their property values. The couple also hooked up electrical, water and sewer service without securing permits.
"For the wife's medical problems, there is sympathy. For the owner's defiance of the township's lawful directives, there is no excuse," Judge Carol McGinley ruled earlier this month.
Feudale-Bowes, 52, says she was diagnosed several years ago with "environmental illness," described as extreme sensitivity to everyday substances. Some doctors question whether environmental illness is a genuine physical disorder and suggest it is psychological.
Feudale-Bowes says fabric softener, nail polish, perfume, new sneakers, upholstery and many other items can make her body go haywire. She says she has suffered from a range of chronic ailments, including migraines, joint pain, bladder inflammation, seizures and temporary paralysis. Her insides, she says, have sometimes felt like "fire with ground glass in it."
A couple of years ago, the couple settled in South Whitehall, moving into a Lustron house, a 1940s-era prefabricated home made of porcelain-enameled steel that serves as their main residence. They paid an additional $10,500 for the bubble.
The zoning board has recommended the couple explore other options, such as an addition to their house.
"We're just asking them to comply with the same safety codes that every other person in the community has to comply with," said Township Manager Jerry Gasda.
The couple are threatening to sue the township under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
"My wife's not a lawn mower, and I didn't put up an illegal shed just to mess with the township," said Craig Bowes, 52, who owns a company that cleans supermarket floors.
Some neighbors question whether her ailment is genuine. But they and others say the main issue is the couple's disregard of the zoning rules

Re: The random krap and bizarre pics thread
I have 4 extra tickets for the Robbie Knievel (son of Evel Knievel) Event
at the Los Angeles Coliseum this weekend if anybody wants them.
Knievel is going to try to jump 5,000 Obama supporters with a bulldozer.
Should be a good time.
Let me know.

Dutch court convicts 2 of stealing virtual items
Oct 21, 1:09 PM (ET)
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - A Dutch court has convicted two youths of theft for stealing virtual items in a computer game and sentenced them to community service.
Only a handful of such cases have been heard in the world, and they have reached varying conclusions about the legal status of "virtual goods."
The Leeuwarden District Court says the culprits, 15 and 14 years old, coerced a 13-year-old boy into transferring a "virtual amulet and a virtual mask" from the online adventure game RuneScape to their game accounts.
"These virtual goods are goods (under Dutch law), so this is theft," the court said Tuesday in a summary of its ruling.
Identities of the minors were not released.
The 15-year-old was sentenced to 200 hours service, and the 14-year-old to 160 hours.

Marshals eject prospective juror
Thursday, October 23, 2008
A prospective Shasta County juror was released from jury duty Tuesday after he reportedly was seen fondling himself while in the jury assembly room at the Shasta County Courthouse.
Court Executive Officer Melissa Fowler-Bradley said Wednesday that the prospective juror, who did not expose himself, was escorted from the courthouse by Shasta County marshals.
She said they did so after another male prospective juror complained about the man's behavior.
The man, whose identity was not released, was not arrested, she said.
