Criminal Stupidity And Other Shorts

As I have mentioned before, the stupidity of thieves never fails to amaze me. Take Christopher Miller who robbed the Stride Right shoe store in Toms Rover New Jersey USA in 1999. He was caught and convicted, and spent 15 years in jail. Apparently the thought of this failure to commit the perfect crime festered on his mind over those long 15 years because .....

..... Yes, you have already guessed it, but I'll say it anyway.The day after his release he walked back into the very same store, where he was met by same clerk behind the counter (who Mr Miller didn't recognise), and he proceeded to rob the store again of $389 and the clerks cell phone. He was caught and sentenced to another 16 years in prison. he claimed later that he wasn't a numbskull, as “I didn’t even realize it was the same store until after I got arrested”

Lucas Hinch of Colarado Springs USA had his legally held pistol removed by the police, following a shooting incident. He had taken his Dell desktop computer outside and shot it eight times, after reaching what he told the police was 'critical mass'. He claimed to have no regrets .... I have felt his pain.

A self employed German woman in the Black Forest region of Germany received a tax demand in 2015 for €4,632,124,357,000,001 - an amount that would have made even Bill Gates blink ... the German tax authorities claimed that the woman's bank had refused to hand over the sum .... they said didn't know why!

Yellowstone Park - 'lite' - A Russian scientist Sergey Zimov hopes to create a herbivore wildlife park in Russia that replicates the Pleistocene era. He's not going to attempt to recreate Woolly Mammoths or Rhinoceros etc, but use Bison, Deer, Beavers etc to enable him to study their impact on the environment. He's heard of Yellowstone Park hasn't he? 

Considering how much is banned as 'Haram' in Islam, its a wonder they manage to do anything .... In 2015, it was reported that some cleric or other had banned spikey haircuts (and I don't mean Mohican style punk hair cuts) as being 'satanic' in Iran. Mosafa Govahi, the head of the barbers union in that country said that "Devil-Worhipping hairstyles are now forbidden" ...

..... he might have also added that solarium treatments, tattoos, and male eyebrow plucking are also now banned, as well as haircuts considered 'homosexual'. Hard-liners in in the city of Qazvin, wrote to the authorities asking them to ban full-body waxing for women in beauty salons, in particular they disapproved of women receiving hair removal treatments to their private parts.

In 2010, Iran banned ponytails, mullets and long, gelled hair for men, but allowed 1980s-style floppy fringes or quiff's ... even some shop mannequins have been banned, with those displaying sizeable breasts or hips not tolerated.

  1. Christopher Miller - I want to say "dumb ape" but that would be insulting our hairy cousins.
    Lucas Hinch - at least he took his frustrations out on his computer, in today's climate that's a good news story.
    Haram - Sweating about the small stuff because you know the big stuff ain't true.
