Two men broke into a police van because they wanted to pose pictures of themselves being arrested.

They locked themselves in, then they got their pictures, full-face and profile, down at the station..

Pastafarians unite!

An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licenceo wearing a pasta strainer as “religious headgear”.

Niko Alm first applied for the licence three years ago after reading that headgear was allowed in official pictures only for confessional reasons.

(Stupid obnoxious commercial at the end.)

This is a cause I can support.

Where can you fence one of these?

A municipal judge on Wednesday said he had his official garb taken from the robing room at the city courthouse while he stepped out to the men’s room. Judge Joseph C. Waters Jr. said he had left the door of the room unlocked.

Any of these folks coming to your barbecue?

Warning, slightly racy.

Nintendo server hit by hackers. Teenage pregnancy rate soars.

What happens when my friend rubs the scratching post with fresh catnip leaves?

The cat goes nuts.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to center it horizontally. And catch the redwing blackbirds down by the pond.

A night at the drive-in.

Denver police are looking for four people who ran away after smashing a car into a restaurant in southwest Denver tonight.

There’s something almost poetic about this:

A Dale City woman pleaded guilty to 40 counts of animal cruelty as her trial got under way with a service dog sitting in the jury box.

Heh.

Two people have been charged so far after a package containing potato chip bags stuffed with marijuana was delivered in Wise.

In Delaware, hitting ’em where they live:

A letter is coming notifying you that if you don’t pay your delinquent tolls, you won’t be able to register your vehicle in the state.

Addendum, the Next Day:

Rescued.

The headline was cute, but wrong. The cat wasn’t feisty. The cat was frightened.

Back in my younger days, I had a friend who hacked in Northern Virginia and D. C. for several years.

While he was hacking, he had only one accident. He was driving his personal car; a cab owned by a rival cab company (both companies were owned by the same person) ran a light and broadsided his car.

Driving a cab can be a pita, but he did not encounter anything like this:

Boulder police arrested a woman on an outstanding warrant after she was accused of chucking her pita sandwich at a cab driver in a fit of anger.

She was unhappy that the driver did not permit food in his cab, so she divested herself of it.
