I find this extremely disturbing.




















All that effort to meake the hood and the mouth is too small to fit a carrot in.

I heard a tape of the noises in that wisconsin town, or a re-creation of the sounds.
It wasn't clear which.

Sounded like a big slide hammer every one or two seconds, maybe more often.
A resonant hammer like Tesla's could cause that, if it was a prank.

I've often seen the effect where houses would pick up sounds you couldn't hear outside, or they were much lower outside.

In breaking bad, the tv series, they used Jesus Malverde, the narco saint, in a very weird scene.

Does it belong in the Wall of Wrong thread or in the What the Fuck Were They Thinking thread or the Too Weird for Words thread.

As if we got a serious thread. :roll:

As Santorum quoted Jesus as saying, "If you strike me down, I will become stronger than you can even imagine!"


After all the fuss made about Obama being muslim, it now looks like he's the only christian even vying, except perhaps Ron Paul.

The party has become so radicalized that they can't come up with even one potential christian candidate!

One republican pointed out that Reagan couldn't make the cut these days.
Too left wing.
Everyone forgets that even he had to repudiate the party platform when he ran, essentially running as an independent.

It's like watching syrian politics.

Cops: Firefighter robs bank, leaves $20 tip

A firefighter has been arrested after allegedly robbing a Dallas bank, then giving $20 of the stolen funds back to the teller as a tip.

Jesus Ventura, 37, of Irving has been charged with robbing a Chase Bank on April 10, according to U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldana.

According to the federal complaint, Ventura entered the bank late in the afternoon and asked to use the restroom. The restroom was outside the bank lobby, but when Ventura returned, he was greeted by a teller offering assistance.

Only passing through... just a bus layover...

http://www.wsmv.com/story/17368824/metr ... in-9-hours

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Metro police say they've never encountered a man quite like William Todd, who they say in just nine hours managed to wreak havoc on Nashville.

"He was just on a terror. I've never seen anything like this before," said Sgt. Tony Blackburn.

Police said Todd traveled to Nashville on a Greyhound bus. During his nine-hour layover, officers said he committed more than 10 felonies.

Officers said Todd broke into the Slaughterhouse and stole a Taser, revolver and shotgun. Then, they said he shot the business up, stole a T-shirt and set the business on fire.

Police said Todd then found four people leaving a local bar. He held them at gunpoint, tased one, pistol whipped another, then took off with their cash and credit cards.

Five minutes later investigators said Todd carjacked a cab at gunpoint, then headed off to commit fraud, and used his newly acquired stolen credit cards to buy food.

"He was able to find the Walmart on Nolensville. He goes there and purchased $199 worth of items," said Blackburn.

Next stop: Hotel Indigo at 6 a.m.

Police said Todd broke into a law office there, ransacked the business then defecated on a desk, smearing feces on some of the framed law degrees.

He then knocked on several hotel room doors pretending to be a female housekeeper.

In one case, police said Todd stole $600 from a Canadian couple at gunpoint, crying the whole time.

Before taking off in his stolen cab once again, officers said Todd opted for a new look.

"We have him on video leaving the hotel with a shaved head," said Blackburn.

At 9 a.m., police said Todd crashed the stolen cab into a parking garage.

At 11:30 a.m., he hailed a new one and headed to Opryland, then held the cab driver at knifepoint.

Police finally caught up with Todd at noon. They said he was hiding on top of Opryland, submerged in a water-cooling vat with water up to his nose.

It was just a quick nine-hour pit stop in Nashville, but now Todd won't be headed home any time soon.

"He rode the Greyhound bus and had a layover, then left in blue lights. There definitely could be more charges. We hope that there are no more victims," said Blackburn.

Todd is now facing 11 felony charges. Officers said he's also wanted out of Kentucky.

That's really no surprise, I have a 4yo and all the newer toys are blunt objects for liability purposes. Can't even order a chemistry set unless you go through Uruguay, and even then you're going to get flagged by the DHS.
