Open Carry Legal in New Hampshire?

Policing the police... I just wish it was more like this in other places. I like the end of it (the girl scout signs)

Banana's Redux

Nice to see a happy ending..
At least for some
Chicken and rice ends Kolkata's thief's toilet trauma

Sun Aug 5, 2007 3:24 PM IST

KOLKATA (Reuters) - Dozens of bananas failed to do the trick but an Indian thief has finally produced a gold necklace he had snatched and then swallowed after police fed him a hearty meal of chicken, rice and local bread.

Sheikh Mohsin, 35, grabbed the 45,000-rupee necklace from a woman in Kolkata on Friday and popped it into his mouth when cornered by police.

Officers then fed him 40 bananas over a few hours believing they would act as a purgative, and sat back and waited for results.

Mohsin passed an uncomfortable night in jail, but not the piece of jewellery.

Police said on Sunday he was then given more substantial fare.

"Now he wants to go free and doesn't want to even hear about bananas any more," senior officer Gyanwant Singh told Reuters.

A tired and rueful Mohsin was, however, staring at 3 years in jail if convicted, Singh added.

Banana's anyone?

I like this. I especially like the last bit
clipped from www.news.com.au

INDIAN police forced a thief to gobble down 40 bananas in a few hours, hoping they would force him to excrete a gold necklace he had snatched and swallowed.

Sheikh Mohsin, 35, grabbed the 45,000-rupee ($1300) necklace from a woman in the eastern city of Kolkata yesterday and popped it into his mouth when police and local residents caught him.

“He denied swallowing it at all, but an X-ray conducted in a hospital revealed the necklace was very much in his stomach,” Ajay Kumar, a leading city detective, told Reuters.

“Doctors advised us to feed him with bananas as it worked like a natural purgative,” another officer said, trying to keep awake after staying up all night monitoring Mohsin's motions.

Mohsin visited the lavatory three times early today and was also forced to vomit but the necklace has failed to appear.

“We will have to look for other stronger purgatives now,” the yawning police officer added.

New flat


I am only here because I thought it would be nice quiet settled area. Then I got notice of plans for a new flat. The plans say that there is space for everything. Well I don't think so.

In there, there is supposedly enough space for a car park and a small (very small from the plan) one bedroom flat. I am stuffed if I can see how the hell it would all fit.

Charles Manson Scientologist !

#1: CHARLES MANSON: SCIENTOLOGIST


Best
Known For:
viciously murdering people, ordering people to viciously
murder other people; carving swastikas into his forehead

Why You Wouldn't Expect Him To Be a Scientologist:
One of the biggest lunatics in American history is actually precisely
who we'd expect to be down on the ground with psychotic theories about
aliens and immortal spirits. But here’s the kicker: Manson took
over 150 hours of Scientology courses, rejected it as too crazy,
and then went on to murder a whole bunch of people.

We're just saying.

Connections: Peter "Big Gunner"
Skinner, the guard he supplies cigarettes to so he can avoid getting
raped all the time.

Presumed Thetan Level: Batshit insane,
but knows total bullshit when he sees it.
