Pedophiles on Facebook?

Pedophiles on Facebook?

This past week a “cause” on Facebook urged members to change their profile picture to the image of their favorite cartoon character. This is to support violence against children, supposedly.

A rumor followed this wall post suggestion that the cartoon cause was originally sponsored by pedophiles operating on the social networking site in a ruse to attract young members to “friend” them with the bait being a friendly cartoon profile picture.

We’re watching this story and will update as additional details become available.

UK almost admits to UFO coverup

(UFOnews) Today the UK Archives have released over 4,000 new pages of close encounters with the third kind. See: http://ufos.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

What do two men seeing a lemon-shaped head on an alien have to do with the movie “Independence Day”? Maybe nothing “Maybe everything” says one researcher that found, in the UK, reportings of sightings closely corresponded with the release of major motion pictures featuring alien themes.

Look in the sky, but don’t tell anyone, or they will GET YOU!

penniesIt seems that the homeless man (name unavailable) was turning in more than 40lbs of flattened pennies retrieved from alongside railroad tracks, and when the clerk at the metal recycling shop realized what the medal was and the police were called.

“There was no arrest” said Sgt. Flaherty, spokesman for Midtown PD “but the appropriate authorities were called before that decision was made”. An insider, that wished to remain anonymous, reported that the FBI and Treasury agents were also called in, as the copper was “currency, despite it’s present condition” and destruction is outlined as a crime in the federal statutes concerning currency.

Apparently, he decided to skip step one and two and just drive away, resulting in more than $400.00 damages to the boot and an undisclosed amount of damage to the lawyer’s vehicle.

When the boot is placed on a vehicle “A large orange poster is stuck to the vehicle’s windscreen to notify the driver that the vehicle has been ‘booted’ ” says Officer McLure, “so it’s unreasonable to expect anyone to still attempt to move their vehicle when booted”.

The state bar is also expected to investigate “possible criminal activity” since the damage to the “boot” caused when the unnamed lawyer attempted to drive away could be charged as “criminal mischief causing felony damage to state property”.

Boat Show

Boat Show

(OBS) – The Seattle Boat Show was off to a horrific start when a boat trailer careened out of control trapping one and severely injuring one other earlier today. Mr. Sevensten, a boat show representative stated “This was a totally freak accident and had nothing whatsoever to do with the poor choice of location as many have suggested.” It should be noted that there were several protesters on hand at the start of this year’s boat show condemning local government for allowing the show to go on in an old-growth forest, more than 150 miles from the ocean. “We had nothing to do with the accident” said Murray Walter, spokesman for ‘Old Growth Tree Supporters’ or ‘OGTS’, “but nature does have a voice of it’s own, one way or another”. The trapped lady was freed after 20 minutes of being pinned down by the errant boat trailer. It was later revealed that she was a member of the protest group and had chained herself to the boat trailer.

(SIA) – Man discovers alligator in toilet. At first the household in Simping, Ala., was in an uproar over the discovery of local wildlife invading a most private area of a family’s space. Mr. Burnhart, owner, was unsure how the alligator ended up where it did, but when he saw it he quickly took the accompanying picture. “We run on a septic tank, so it couldn’t have come through the pipes.” he stated. “But the kids and the dogs are always dragging things into the house. Last year we had a raccoon living under the kitchen sink for a couple of weeks. We didn’t notice it until the smell started to get to us.”
