Scientists can't get sloth to move
"JENA, Germany - Scientists in the eastern German city of Jena said
Wednesday they have finally given up after three years of failed
attempts to entice a sloth into budging as part of an experiment in
animal movement."
""Mats obviously wanted absolutely nothing to do with furthering science," said Axel Burchardt, a university spokesman."

LONDON (Reuters) - British police said Friday they were hunting a man who stole a urinal from a pub toilet.
The suspect walked into the Royal Oak pub in Southampton, on the English south coast, ordered half a pint of beer and then made several visits to the men's toilet.
There he carefully removed a white urinal from the wall, stuffed it into a rucksack and was captured on closed circuit television walking out with the bulging sack on his back.
okay, This seriously made me laugh. He stole a urinal from a pub, and was able to get it out of the building without anyone noticing. Sure, the theory is that he was a trained plumber/tradesman, but it's still pretty impressive, and funny.

STUART, Fla. - A man with mischief afoot entered a home and licked the toe of a sleeping woman over the weekend, police said. The man reportedly licked the woman's left big toe while she was sleeping early Sunday, the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers reported.
The woman was sleeping next to her husband, who chased the suspect from the house and down the street.
The suspect was wearing a black, hooded sweat shirt, white shorts and white shoes.
umm...what the hell? people are sick, man. I mean, not so much the toe licking part. Although its odd, you know, whatever, to each their own. but to break into someone's house, and lick her toe, while she was sleeping, and while her husband slept beside her? That's just...bizzare.
"PORTAGE, Ind. - A young woman's goal of getting her driver's license crashed this week — right into the license branch. The 20-year-old woman was pulling into a parking spot outside the license branch when she hit the accelerator instead of the brake, Assistant Fire Chief Mike Bucy said."
"Neither the driver nor the examiner, who weren't identified, were injured. Bucy said a person in the building sustained a hip injury and was examined by emergency medical personnel but declined to be taken to the hospital."
"The young driver, meanwhile, failed the test.
"I think it's fair to say the customer did not meet the required criteria," said Greg Cook, a Bureau of Motor Vehicles spokesman."
