Got any keepers?

Not an actual headline but something from the Puns community.

Police Station toilet stolen. Police have nothing to go on.

On the one hand, this story is cute. On the other, it's kinda scary to think that a guy made it to age 60 while doing meth. I always thought drugs like that were a young man's game...for young men that don't intend to be old men.

Of course, we don't know how long he was doing it. It might be a recent hobby of his. Maybe he heard that Mick Jagger was doing that stuff for decades and had gotten along fine, and decided not to hold back any more. I guess there are head shops now selling crack pipes labeled "World's Highest Grandma."

All I know is, when the Knights of Prosperity get around to robbing Mick Jagger's apartment, they'd better not be wearing snorkeling gear.

Scott Adam's write-up (http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/02/man_mistaken_fo.html) of the incident is one of the funniest thing's I've read in a couple of weeks.

Keepers? This story (http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2003-01.html) has been one of my favorites of the "dumb criminal" category...the coda that's not mentioned in the story is that they just wanted to hold the place up - not hurt anybody, which is why they used blanks in the first place (of course these guys had probably never heard the names Jon-Erik Hexum and Brandon Lee)

Over in one of the SF Giants blogs we're having a hunt for the dumbest Barry Bonds article of the year. So far, the winner is from a Pittsburg paper. The columnist not only manages to get out manager wrong, he also tries to sound knowledgable about the Bay Area by dropping little tidbits like "the majestic Golden Gate Bridge crossing the bay" and "taking a cable car to the ballpark." Of course, the GG Bridge crosses the Golden Gate, not the bay (the Golden Gate is the entrance to the bay.) and the cable cars don't come within a mile of the park, but the MUNI Metro does run right to it.

In an odd coincidence, that's the title of Track 16 on the forthcoming new Worm Quartet album, "Mental Notes" (http://www.wormquartet.com).

Hungary-Britain turkey trade investigated

See Britain weren't so turkey hungry, they could just get their turkeys from Turkey instead of Turkey AND Hungary.
