I'M KIND OF A BIG DEAL

A 31-year-old Fort Pierce, Florida man was arrested for theft after he jacked candy and beer from a convenience store. The catch -- he said he was allowed to do it because he was in the military. Cops busted the as-yet-unnamed man as he was walking out of the store. He claimed that he had already paid for the items but was quickly proven wrong by the clerk inside. While in the squad car, he screamed that he was in Iraq and could steal all the M&M's he wanted. He's currently being held on five-thousand-dollars bail.

IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! IT'S CAT-BONG!

That feline better hope the cops have some cat-nip. An Omaha, Nebraska man is being charged with marijuana possession and animal cruelty after he trapped his six-month-old cat inside of a homemade bong. The 20-year-old innovator said that the cat was acting hyper and that he just wanted to chill her out. The cat was taken to the local Humane Society where she appeared to be in good condition. Omaha PD Sergeant Andy Stebbing said, "This cat was just dazed. She was on the front seat of the cop car, wrapped in a blanket, and never moved all the way to the Humane Society."

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME....AGAIN...AFTER THIS

A 23-year-old Duluth, Minnesota man was arrested for stealing a car and the gas needed to fill it up. He was nabbed after he started calling local police to brag about his crimes. He was apparently hiding outside of another man's house, who then called the police after he suspected there was a prowler afoot. The smug stealer assaulted two officers before being subdued.

DOUBLE-OH-STUPID

Maybe he was trying to turn over a new leaf.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT: PlayStation Palm(Posted 3:00 AM, 3/3/2009)


European doctors have named a new ailment after the PlayStation game console. The medical term is difficult to pronounce, so it's been dubbed "Playstation Palm."

Apparently many players grip the controls too tight. The result is lumpy calluses, which look a lot like over-sized warts.

A spokesman for Sony, which makes the PlayStation, says the company isn't overly thrilled with the distinction. The PlayStation instruction manual comes with health guidelines.
