Stupid thieves steal fake cell phones!

Call it the case of the dead cells - both telephones and the ones in the brain. Employees at a Telefonica Movistar cell-phone store in Morelia, Mexico say they arrived Tuesday morning to find that the store had been broken into.

An examination of the shop revealed the only items missing were hollow replica phones for display that are completely useless for making calls.

Employees say the clueless thieves overlooked real cell phones and cash in another part of the shop.

Store owners nonetheless reported the theft to local police, who are investigating.

Woman charged for stealing friend's birthday gifts.

Golden Gate woman was arrested Wednesday after deputies say she stole $850 worth of presents given to a friend during a birthday party.

According to Sheriff’s reports, Taylor Chee Walls, 18, 303 Burnt Pine Drive, went to Ryan Fibble’s house 3354 Timberwood Circle, on June 18, to help celebrate his birthday.

Walls asked if she could spend the night and Fibble agreed.

Reports said that when Fibble woke up the next morning, he found that Walls and all of his birthday gifts— including $300 cash— were missing from his home.

Fibble finally contacted the Sheriff’s Office, after he learned Walls dropped off an Adidas bag full of the stolen gifts, minus the $300, in the driveway of another friend’s house.

Sheriff’s officials said Walls also sent Fibble a text message on Tuesday, offering to repay him the stolen $300. She sent another one later that same day rescinding her offer, according to reports. Collier deputies located Walls at her home Wednesday.

Walls, 303 Burnt Pine Drive, was charged her with grand theft, a felony.

Woman sitting in a bathroom accidentally shot at.

Authorities said a bullet from a gun that was accidentally dropped injured a Tampa woman sitting in a bathroom stall. Police said the bullet hit 53-year-old Janifer Bliss in the lower left leg. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Bliss was sitting on the toilet in a hotel bathroom when a woman in the next stall accidentally let her handgun slip out of her waist holster. The weapon discharged when it hit the ground.

Police said the gun belonged to a 56-year-old woman who has a concealed weapons permit.

The case has been referred to the State Attorney's Office to determine if any charges will be filed.

42 tons of trash removed from a property.

A father and son are facing almost $20,000 in fees and fines after New York authorities said they removed about 42 tons of trash from their property. Brookhaven Town officials said they took away tires, car parts, hoses and other trash - about 85,000 pounds in all - piled up on a residential lot in Mastic Beach on eastern Long Island.

The site on Daisy Drive also has a single-family home, where John W. Mallgren and his son, John R. Mallgren, live.

Authorities said the Mallgrens will have to pay $8,742 for removal of the trash, which filled 10 garbage trucks. They also face fines. The house was condemned last month.

Neither Mallgren could immediately be reached for comment.

Couple get into fight and use Cheetos to assault one another.

Authorities said a couple got into a fight using Cheetos. The Bedford County Sheriff's Department said a 40-year-old man and 44-year-old woman became involved in a 'verbal altercation.' Somehow, the orange puffy snacks were used in the assault.

Deputies said they were charged with domestic assault. No one was hurt.

According to the Shelbyville Times-Gazette, both posted bond of $2,500.

Man calls 9-1-1 to complain about McDonalds delivery.

Calling 9-1-1 from McDonald's to complain about your hamburger order, will get you a warning.

Call repeatedly, and you'll be eating in a cop car.

Listen to an edited version of the call here:

That's what happened to 23-year-old Jeremy Lloyd Martin early Friday after he allegedly called Clackamas County dispatchers several times, saying an employee at the McDonald's on Southeast 82nd Avenue at Sunnyside Road near the Clackamas Town Center had robbed him of $8 for not fulfilling his order correctly.

Martin said he gave the worker $10, but only got one burger and fries.

Martin was repeatedly warned by dispatchers that he could get arrested for misusing 9-1-1, but he did not back down.

He threatened to sue if a cop didn't arrive.

Martin got his wish and was arrested, charged with improper use of a 9-1-1 system.

Haha! What an iDiOT!

A spokeswoman for the city of Suffolk, Va., says a burglar accidentally took his own picture with a victim's cell phone while robbing an area home.

City spokeswoman Debbie George said in a statement police are looking for the individual captured in a photograph taken by a cell phone belonging to an area homeowner this month, the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press reported Monday.

George said it appeared the male suspect had been attempting to make a phone call during the home break-in and accidentally captured his own image using the device's camera function.

The unidentified suspect fled the scene, leaving the phone and its incriminating photo behind, George added.

Information regarding the identity of the photogenic criminal could be worth up to $1,000 for tipsters if their clues result in his arrest, the Daily Press reported.

Man deposits drugs in bank.

Authorities said a man using the drive-through at a Tallahassee bank deposited $200 and a small bag containing marijuana and cocaine. Police said an employee at the Wachovia Bank called police Wednesday after the unusual deposit. An officer arrested a 38-year-old man and found the remnants of three marijuana cigarettes inside his vehicle.

The man was charged with drug possession and later released on $3,000 bail.

It's not clear why the man included the drugs with his deposit.

The secret about bar codes revealed!

If the origin of what you buy is important to you, may I suggest that you write down on a card (the size of your credit card) and keep in your wallet, the following information.

Since no one is willing to share this information , I'm grateful for the person who dug it up, and passed it along. If we don't write it down and keep it, the information will simply blow through our brains, doing NO good.

Up to YOU:

The whole world is concerned about China made 'black hearted goods'. Can you differentiate which one is made in Canada, Philippines, Taiwan or China?

The first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made.

Sample: All barcodes that start at 690 - 695 are all MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan

Government and related departments won't educate the public. Therefore, we have to educate ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products 'Made in China', so they don't show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digitsare: 690-695 then it is Made in China.

BARCODES

00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland and Lienchtenstein
471 ~ Taiwan
480 ~ Philippines
628 ~ Saudi-Arabien
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
690 ~ 695 China
740 ~ 745 Central America

Weirdest airport names in the world!

A Scotland-based Web site has published a list of the world's "weirdest" airport names, including the Mafia, Moron and Pickle Lake Airports.

Skyscanner.net, which specializes in cheap flights, picked Turkey's Batman Airport as its "favorite" name for a hub, followed by Useless Loop Airport in Australia, Black Tickle Airport in Canada, Mafia Airport in Tanzania and Moron Airport in Mongolia.

The Web site also listed airports with names that could be taken as offensive, including Japan's Fukui Airport, Nepal's Dang Airport, Pratt Airport in the United States and Ponce Airport in Puerto Rico.

Coca-cola once contained cocaine!

Coca-Cola was named back in 1885 for its two "medicinal" ingredients: extract of coca leaves and kola nuts. Just how much cocaine was originally in the formulation is hard to determine, but the drink undeniably contained some cocaine in its early days. Frederick Allen describes the public attitude towards cocaine that existed as Coca-Cola's developers worked on perfecting their formula in 1891:

The first stirrings of a national debate had begun over the negative aspects of cocaine, and manufacturers were growing defensive over charges that use of their products might lead to "cocainism" or the "cocaine habit". The full-throated fury against cocaine was still a few years off, and Candler and Robinson were anxious to continue promoting the supposed benefits of the coca leaf, but there was no reason to risk putting more than a tiny bit of coca extract in their syrup. They cut the amount to a mere trace.

Allen also explains that cocaine continued to be an ingredient in the syrup in order to protect the trade name "Coca-Cola":

But neither could Candler take the simple step of eliminating the fluid extract of coca leaves from the formula. Candler believed that his product's name had to be descriptive, and that he must have at least some by-product of the coca leaf in the syrup (along with some kola) to protect his right to the name Coca-Cola. Protecting the name was critical. Candler had no patent on the syrup itself. Anyone could make an imitation. But no one could put the label "Coca-Cola" on an imitation so long as Candler owned the name. The name was the thing of real value, and the registered trademark was its only safeguard. Coca leaves had to stay in the syrup.

How much cocaine was in that "mere trace" is impossible to say, but we do know that by 1902 it was as little as 1/400 of a grain of cocaine per ounce of syrup. Coca-Cola didn't become completely cocaine-free until 1929, but there was scarcely any of the drug left in the drink by then:

By Heath's calculation, the amount of ecgonine [an alkaloid in the coca leaf that could be synthesized to create cocaine] was infinitesimal: no more than one part in 50 million. In an entire year's supply of 25-odd million gallons of Coca-Cola syrup, Heath figured, there might be six-hundredths of an ounce of cocaine.

So, yes, at one time there was cocaine in Coca-Cola. But before you're tempted to run off claiming Coca-Cola turned generations of drinkers into dope addicts, consider the following: back in 1885 it was far from uncommon to use cocaine in patent medicines (which is what Coca-Cola was originally marketed as) and other medical potions. When it first became general knowledge that cocaine could be harmful, the backroom chemists who comprised Coca-Cola at the time (long before it became the huge company we now know) did everything they could with the technology they had available at the time to remove every trace of cocaine from the beverage. What was left behind (until the technology improved enough for it all to be removed) wasn't enough to give a fly a buzz.

The world's most expensive ad.

Now that i'm on with world's this and world's that, i thought i might as well post the world's most expensive ad. =D

I personally love this ad, why don't you guys check out the video below?

New Honda commercial in the UK. Very important that you understand: There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it.

The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again.

The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including a full engineering of the sequence.

In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free" viewings (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!).

When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation — including the costs.

There are six and only six hand-made Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film.

Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) are parts from those two cars.

When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real.

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

"What I am against is quotas. I am against hard quotas, quotas they basically delineate based upon whatever. However they delineate, quotas, I think, vulcanize society. So I don't know how that fits into what everybody else is saying, their relative positions, but that's my position."

"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."

"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'."

"If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign."

"We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor like you like to be liked yourself."

1 hour later.

User: I need a new power supply.
Tech: How did you come to that conclusion?
