There's only one man (or woman) who can save us from the rising gas prices: God. That's right, the head honcho. The Pray at the Pump movement has been holding prayer vigils at gas stations across the country. A 74-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Sunday after crashing her Cadillac through the front window of a convenience store, authorities said. After plowing halfway through the store, the woman got out of the car, walked over to the cooler and pulled out a six-pack of Budweiser. More details here.
A Kentucky woman was nabbed on prostitution charges for allegedly trading sex for gasoline. A local prosecutor noted that it was sad to see someone selling their body for gas, in this case about 25 gallons worth. Read the whole story and see the booking mugs here. A British high school student received credit for writing nothing but a two-word obscenity on an exam paper because the phrase expressed meaning and was spelled correctly. Read the whole story here. As a side note, my last two years of school in England I took English, History and Geography, receiving a D, an E and an N respectively. D and Es are passes, though nothing to get college admissions people excited about, and an N means you've reached the same level of education you were at when you started the course 2 years before! — Andrew Mockett
A delightfully wacky story from Britain's Daily Mail: A village police community support worker who has been riding a bike since childhood has been ordered off the saddle by police bosses - who insist he take a cycling proficiency test. Nick Barker had used his bicycle to patrol remote rural areas around Sevenoaks, Kent, before health and safety bureaucrats told him to take the test aimed at primary school children. And he is now forced to travel between the tiny hamlets of Halstead, Knockholt and Badgers Mount on the bus - because of a shortage of police cars. President Bush pays a strange compliment to Filipinos living in America. We're honestly not picking on the Aussies (no one loves Outback Steakhouse as much as us), but for the second time in two days, an Australian man makes Around the Web's wall of shame. This man didn't realize he was already married until he got married again. Crikey! Then throw another shrimp on the barbie. A lovelorn Yorkshireman who put his life up for auction on the Internet said Tuesday "idiots" had made fake bids which pushed up the price of his home, job and lifestyle to unrealistic levels. Wait. Who's the idiot? A man named God was arrested Saturday near a Tampa church for selling cocaine, police said. Read the whole story here.
