Brevity, and all that…

shakespeare.jpgThe wonder, idiocy and yikes-ness of these stories can be so easily summed up in one nice little sentence, that it just doesn’t make sense to waste long entries on each of them. And you get more stories for your punch this way…

A student who got busted for cheating is suing his school, claiming he was entrapped into breaking onto his teacher’s computer to steal test questions.

Police in Andover, Massachusetts are auctioning off, among other things, “bags and bags of women’s underwear.”

A homeless man who was sleeping in a trash dumpster when the trash collectors emptied the dumpster into their truck (and began compacting!) has obtained himself some legal counsel (although I suspect it’s more like the lawyers obtained themselves a plum plaintiff).

Up in Canada, eh, the city of Montreal has been ordered to pay over $27,000 in damages for what has been described “as the bar mitzvah from hell,” an event which involved a drunk city janitor, a pianist who had a heart attack and missing toilet paper.

And finally - a New Jersey man was arrested after leaving his two-year-old son in a car, and spending over nine hours then trying to find the car, possibly confused because of beer intake (you think?), and it was the poor kid’s birthday.
