All Mike Bolesta wanted to do was pay a bill, but ended up being handcuffed to a pole at Best Buy with employees and onlookers gawking at him in this predicament.

This all started over a protest in jest, with Bolesta paying a previously waved $114 installation charge with crispy new $2 bills.

Now, anyone who lived through the 70’s, knows these bills exist. Other people would learn of them by paying attention in class when learning about U.S. Currency. Never once have these bills been taken out of circulation or deemed illegal. You can still request them through your local bank and that is what Mike Bolesta did.

Having the unfortunate luck of being waited on by an uneducated chick with an attitude to boot, Bolesta’s comic protest suddenly became a nightmare for him. The cashier at first refused to accept the legal tender and when Bolesta made his stance, she reluctantly continued the transaction but not without scrutinizing each and every bill with her magic counterfeit decoder marker.

Employees began to gather around in amazement over this fancy currency. Some even went as far to ask if they were real. I guess they slept through class as well. It was at this time one ‘Einstein’ thought he saw smeared ink on one of crisp $2 bills. Police where then called in. Just when you thought your faith in human intelligence couldn’t get any lower, Officer Brain Fart decides to handcuff Bolesta to a nearby pole, and further humiliate the poor guy. Trust me though on this one, the humiliation is now on spent on Baltimore County Po-Po. Officer Brain Fart found it very interesting and suspicious that the $2 bills ran in sequential order. I presume said Officer never went to a bank and requested crispy dollar bills. But then again, he is a county employee and may not have the luxury of banking. Bolesta was then taken to county lockup. Would anyone there have any sense? Hell No. Time to call in the Secret Service

Now I am sure this Secret Service Agent had better things to do that day, possibly bust terrorist as they scooted by TSA employees at BWI, or screen gray haired old ladies. But instead they are called away from protecting the nations safety all because of a stupid twit at Best Buy along with additional morons who were feeding this frenzy.

It took no time for Agent Leigh Turner to douse the hysteria and excitement that had taken over Best Buy and the Baltimore County Police that day. She had to kindly inform all involved that the money was legal tender and that sometimes, ink smears.

Baltimore County Police spokesman Bill Toohey’s excuse for the lack of intelligence of the county’s bravest was that “we’re all a little nervous in the post 9/11 world”

Sorry Mr. Toohey, this wasn’t nervousness, this was “fucktard”

Photo on left accompanies many articles. One on right was in the Hindustan Times. An Indian man who fathered seven daughters has not washed for 35 years in an apparent attempt to ensure his next child is a boy, newspapers reported.

Kailash "Kalau" Singh replaces bathing and brushing his teeth with a "fire bath" every evening when he stands on one leg beside a bonfire, smokes marijuana and says prayers to Lord Shiva, according to the Hindustan Times.

"It's just like using water to take a bath," Kalau was reported as saying. "A fire bath helps kill germs and infection in the body."

Kalau, 63, from a village outside the holy city of Varanasi, outraged his family by refusing to take a ritual dip in the river Ganges even after his brother died five years ago.

"I still don't remember how it all began," he said in Saturday's edition of the paper. "I just know it started about 35 years ago."

Kalau, who wears two pullovers all through the Indian summer, said his pledge not to wash was a commitment to the "national interest."

"I'll end this vow only when all problems confronting the nation end," he said.

But his neighbours in the village of Chatav said there was another reason for Kalau's washing boycott.

"A seer once told Kalau that if he does not take a bath, he would be blessed with a male child," a man called Madhusudan.

Most Indians prefer sons, who are typically regarded as breadwinners, while girls are seen as a burden because of the matrimonial dowry demanded by a groom's family and the fact that their earnings go to their husband's family.

A Texas mother of twins got the shock of her life when doctors revealed that her 11-month-old boys do not have the same father.

Mia Washington decided to get some expert advice when she and her partner noticed that twins Justin and Jordan had different facial features.
Paternity tests then revealed what had happened — two eggs had been fertilized by two different sperm and there was a 99.99% chance the twins had different dads.

Suicide jumper pushed off bridge (CNN) -- A passerby pushed a would-be suicide jumper off a bridge in southern China because he was angry at the jumper's "selfish activity," Chinese media reported Saturday.

It happened Thursday in the city of Guangzhou as Chen Fuchao threatened to jump off Haizhu Bridge, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

The bridge has gained a "macabre" reputation with 11 jumpers having thrown themselves off the bridge since the start of April, Xinhua said.

Traffic was held up for nearly five hours and a crowd gathered as Chen sat on the bridge, threatening to jump, Xinhua reported.

Chen wanted to kill himself because he had 2 million yuan ($294,000) in debt after a failed construction project, Xinhua reported.

Lian Jiansheng, 66, who was passing by the bridge, offered to talk Chen down, Xinhua said. Police refused, but Lian broke through the police cordon and climbed to where Chen was sitting.

Lian greeted Chen with a handshake, then pushed him off the bridge, Xinhua said.

Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially-inflated emergency air cushion, damaging his spine and elbow in the fall, Xinhua said. He is now recovering in a hospital.

A photographer documented the sequence of events. The photographs show Lian, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts and socks, saluting to the crowd after pushing Chen off.

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest," Lian told Xinhua. "They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."

Police took Lian away after the incident, Xinhua said. It did not say whether he would face any charges.

She was a call girl working the streets of Sin City. He's a guitarist in a heavy metal band. They found commonality in their Christian faith and Friday evening, the two were married in a Las Vegas, Nevada, ceremony broadcast live via the Web.
Its Web site says Hookers for Jesus "addresses the realities of human sex trafficking." http://www.hookersforjesus.net/home.cfm


Annie Lobért, who founded Hookers for Jesus, and musician Oz Fox of the Christian band Stryper said their "I do's" at the Church of South Las Vegas in front of an applauding crowd and an audience on the Internet. The wedding had been widely touted on several Christian Web sites.

Lobért, 41, walked up to the stage in a white strapless gown, gloves and veil. Earlier this week, she wrote on her MySpace blog: "I am getting married. It's about time."

She had worked as a prostitute for 11 years, making as much as $500 an hour. She said she hit rock bottom when she overdosed on cocaine and everything went black, according to an ABC interview posted on her Web site. She asked Jesus to help her and became what many jokingly call a "porn-again Christian."

Lobért says her mission now is to save the souls of women who sell their bodies. She often spends time at night on Las Vegas streets handing out Bibles to prostitutes and seeking to convince them there is a better way to make a living.

The Hookers for Jesus Web site describes the organization as "an international, faith-based organization that addresses the realities of human sex trafficking, sexual violence and exploitation linked to pornography and the sex industry."

Before he administered the vows, Pastor Benny Perez said Lobért was a shining example of Christ's love for everyone.

Fox, 47, is a longtime member of Stryper, which stands for Salvation Through Redemption, Yielding Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness. The band's albums include "Reborn: and "In God We Trust." http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Musi...ing/index.html

Roger Hamilton told police he was sitting on a bus station bench, preparing to put mayonnaise on his bologna and cheese sandwich, when a man wearing headphones began staring at him.

Hamilton, 24, told police he asked the man if he could help him, but before he knew it, the man punched him in the mouth and snatched his sandwich.

When police arrived at the Hudson Street bus station Wednesday, they found Hamilton with a swollen lip and his face covered in blood.

Hamilton told police he did not know the man or why he assaulted him and stole his sandwich. He described him as a black man who appeared to be in his 30s.

The police report values the sandwich at 76 cents. http://newsok.com/man-beaten-robbed-...adlines_widget
