I'd probably just set up a twitterbot to automatically reply saying "Thanks! Can you now post a picture of the other side so I can get the three digit security code?"

Why would anyone post a picture of their debit card? Who wants to see it, other than thieves? I don't get it.

Seriously? Someone named their book The Loneliest Ho in the World?!?

apparently, McDonalds has pulled rank in their sponsorship demands, and will not let other Olympic food outlets sell chips/fries unless its served with a piece of fish.

I can see a loophole, whereby fish cocktails (like fish nuggets) are sold as a 1-pack with a full serve of chips. That's what I'D do, if I owned a food concession.

They've changed their mind on that.

And then . . . there's copper

I'm imaging the dialogue between the thief and his lookout who fled.

L: Copper!

T: That's why we're here.

L: Copper!

T: Working on it.

L: No! Copper! Coming!

T: It will be if you shut up.

And so on.

I just made my morning.

Sand "tunnel" collapses on boy

But really, it's the last few paragraphs that push this story into the realm of WTF

Haven't they learned from movies that you don't make police or firefighters actually work on they're last day before retirement?

My first reading was even more WTF because I misread it as being the father of the kid in the sand who got hit by the firetruck.

So I was looking at a sample 911 Operator test today (Why? That's a story in it's own right I'll get around to one of these days....)

It had a lot of questions like, "What color is marijuana" and "Cocaine makes a user: hyperactive,lazy, hungry" etc... And then in the middle of all these other questions, was this gem:

24. What is the worth of the most valuable thing you have stolen?
(A) $2000 or more
(B) $1000 to $2000
(C) $100 to $1000
(D) $25 to $100
(E) $0 to $25

Heh, I have to think this is not a test where a simple X% of questions correct is passing.
