And in other news

First off I see by ye olde site meter that I have been visited by someone in Lithuania!
Well hello there, drop us a line in the comments and ease my hugely overheated curiosity

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secondly I HAD to share this and throw some snark at it, The quote is from Reuters

"Robbery ends in black
Police in central England are hunting
for a badly scorched, would be
copper power cable thief, after
finding a hacksaw embedded in an
11 000 volt power cable on saterday night.
The thief, who also left a lit blow-torch
at the scene, is expected to be badly
charred, spiky haired and not the
brightest bulb in the socket. Searches
of local hospitals had so far not found
the culprit, a spokesperson for the
Derbyshire police said on Tueday.

Ahem....

Not the brightest bulb in the socket????
Hell he must have been glowing enough for arliners to see him!

Lets take a gander at this for a moment.
First off he had to decide that increasing his financial lot in life would be benifited by the acquasition of some copper wire..

No problem there

Our enterprising idiot then had to climb up to a power line which any idiot could have figured out was dangerous to start with.
He then had to take further leave of his senses, fire up the blow-torch and then decide that the big METAL hacksaw was the better option....
Darwin would be proud.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh, the police might want to check the english channel and see if he managed to spectacularly blast himself all the way over there...
