In Ireland, a stolen car was used to crash into a pub in order to steal the ATM inside. A second stolen car was used to cart the ATM away, along with the injured driver of the first car. The thieves may need a third stolen car to run over the stolen ATM to get it open and a fourth car to run over the guy who planned the robbery in the first place if the ATM is empty.
Swiss Bank Ratting Out US Clients
Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS (U Better be Scared), is giving account information to America’s largest bank inspector, the IRS. Now, the US government will be able to sift through the bank accounts of 4,500 Americans and make them pay taxes on money they have hidden. I’m not worried. The only hidden cash I’ve got is in the change drawer in my cab. Rob me and you won’t even get enough to go to Starbucks . . . Tim Horton's, maybe.
Dog Won’t Rescue You
Canadian researchers have concluded that your dog will take food from anyone or anything, including a black box. I could have told them that. It’s food, they’re dogs. Everything smells so good they want to taste it. I don’t agree with the rest of their findings, though. They say a dog will not try to rescue its master, even if he/she is pinned under a book case and begging for help. What about Lassie and Rin Tin Tin? Don’t tell me that was staged!
Internet Addicts Beaten, Killed
In China, they have boot camps for internet addicts. It turns out, they try to beat the addiction out of them. A 15-year-old boy was beaten to death at one camp and a 14 year old, attending a camp paid for by his mother, is in serious condition after beatings by the school’s principal and several other students. If they start a camp for bullies - and it sounds like they should - will students be required to spend all their time on the internet? I know, vicious circle!
