high gas prices? blame it on the seniors
LAKELAND, Fla. - A 70-year-old man has been charged with grand theft after police watched him siphon off more than 900 gallons of gasoline from underground storage tanks at two gas stations, the Polk County authorities said Wednesday.
Deputies witnessed Hobert Gibson steal gasoline from two stations Tuesday, but sheriff officials believe he did this on a daily basis since at least January. The two gas stations he hit that day were about 40 miles from his Winter Haven home, and police believe it was typical for Gibson to visit a few stations per day across a wide geographical area. He is believed to have sold the stolen gasoline, which he stored at his towing company.

squirrel ignites car
It's Rocky the Frying Squirrel!
A kamikaze squirrel fell from the sky and detonated a Bayonne woman's car yesterday, police said today.
Lindsey Millar, 23, and her brother, Tony, 22, were both home Wednesday at about 12:45 p.m. when Lindsey's car suddenly started burning outside their 42nd Street home.
Tony Millar said firefighters told them it was the work of a buck-toothed saboteur that had been gnawing on overhead power lines connected to a transformer directly above the 2006 Toyota Camry.
"The squirrel chewed through the wire, was set on fire, fell down directly to where the car was," Tony Millar said. "The squirrel, on fire, slid into the engine compartment and blew up the car."They're always coming around here, chewing through the garbage," he added.
Tony Millar says his sister was fully insured.
"It's something to laugh about once she has a new car," he said. "It's not funny yet."Police said there were no injuries -- except for the squirrel, that is, which is dead.
The Millars' home is decorated for Halloween, complete with a tiny plastic tombstone on their front lawn. Tony Millar said the family will consider dedicating the tombstone to the squirrel, who was not named.

4-Ton Transformer Stands Tall in Hollywood
An 8,200-pound, life-size version of Bumblebee, the speech-impaired autobot, arrived at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and North La Brea Avenue in Hollywood on Tuesday to promote the release of Michael Bay's Transformers on DVD and HD DVD.
Bumblebee will be chilling, waiting for fans to come pose in front of him and take cell phone pictures, at the West Hollywood Gateway shopping center till Sunday. That's when a forklift and 10-ton crane will pick up the 18-foot-tall Transformer and take him away to some sad prop-storage room where he will sit and rust, hidden away from the world forever, dreaming of the time he was a movie prop and crying tears of lubricant thinking about how useless his life has become.

diesel goes viral
Infectious viral videos spreading through YouTube are all the rage in advertising these days but it's rare for a major fashion brand to hop onto the bandwagon. Unless of course, you're Diesel, a company that is known for its inventive (and sometimes absurd) marketing tactics.
In the video above, the Italian brand remixed a cheeseball instructional disco dance video to advertise their Freezy Sneakers. Somehow, through some CGI or editing brilliance, they managed to outfit the instructor in Diesel sneakers while he shook his hip-thrusting groove thang.

a spaceship...in japan...in the water
The only thing cooler than traveling to Tokyo to see the futuristic sights is to do so while riding around the city in what amounts to a floating spaceship. The Jicco Floating Bar ferries Tokyo barflys around the city enclosed in a Flash Gordon-esque ship while the floor of the vessel changes colors--for that warp drive effect. You can get a taste of spaceship life for just 2,500 yen ($21 U.S.). And, if you really want to let your geek-turned-pimp flag fly, the vessel is also available for private parties.

sweat soda?
It’s prime NFL season and the super savvy marketing department at Jones Soda Co. have unleashed limited edition packs of football (Seattle Seahawks only) inspired flavors (What…no Steelers?); Dirt Soda, Perspiration Soda, Natural Field Turf Soda, Sports Cream Soda, and Sweet Victory Soda. So, if you think you’re tough enough to play in the NFL, then you’d better step up and have a little taste of what NFL players experience throughout their entire careers; “The average NFL player will spend 2 years of their life in the gym, eat 3 pounds of dirt and perspire 10,000 gallons of sweat. These players must withstand incredibly tough conditions to be ready for every game, which is why we thought we’d bring the fans the full experience in a bottle,” says Peter van Stolk, President & C.E.O. “Now, you can enjoy all the sweat and dirt an NFL player experiences, along with the ultimate taste of Sweet Victory.”

creepy corn maze
Las Vegas has become as much known for its attractions as it has for its gambling -- the dancing fountains at Bellagio, erupting volcano at The Mirage and the pirate battle in front of Treasure Island, to name a few. But a small town just a half hour north of all the glitter has been vying for attention with its unique corn maze each Fall.
This is what the Coca Cola Corporation wanted when they contacted the owners of the maze and said they'd like to sponsor this year's event. The company is also donating prizes. The company got involved when its vendors, who drop off the soda in Glendale, brought it to their attention. Word of mouth obviously pays off.
Your admission includes parking, a hamburger or hot dog, corn on the cob, baked potato and a soda. Drinks will be available, and the Broken Spoke Saloon will be open. There's a even a place to stay with reservations, which is just like the Bates Motel in the movie Psycho.

thank you for calling tech support
Call centers are symbols of India's economic boom. With Anglicized names and feigned Western accents, Indians handle credit card problems and troubleshoot computers, collect debts and conduct customer satisfaction surveys. Over the past decade or so, relatively high salaries in the call center sector have attracted thousands of applicants across the country. But now the boom is going bust because India's college graduates and young job seekers just don't want to be bothered with the business anymore.
Young people say it is no longer worthwhile going through sleepless nights serving customers halfway around the world. They have better job opportunities in other fields. The work is tiring and stressful and offers few career advancement opportunities, says Dr. A. Sankara Reddy, head of Sri Venkateswara College in New Delhi. In response to students' complaints, Reddy said the college a few months ago banned call center recruiters from campus. At least a handful of other local colleges over the last few years have made the same decision.

one heck of a lap
Already drawing the crowds in the South American resort of San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, this artificial lagoon and swimming pool is eight hectares in size and contains an incredible 250,000 cubic metres of water. Acknowledged by Guinness World Records as being the world’s largest swimming pool, the lagoon trounces all other record holders in the category, including the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca, Morocco, itself a huge 150 metres by 100 metres – the San Alfonso pool is ten times this size, measuring 1km in length. The revolutionary clear water artificial lagoons, transparent to a depth of 35 metres and unprecedented in design and construction methods, are the brainchild of Crystal Lagoons founder, biochemist and Chilean businessman Fernando Fischmann. Equivalent in size to an incredible 6,000 standard domestic pools, details of its technology are to be unveiled for the first time at Cityscape Dubai later this month.

Aaaaaaaay! Milwaukee to Bronze Fonzie
Henry Winkler, the man more commonly known as Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli will likely be forever immortalized in the city of Milwaukee.
“Visit Milwaukee, a group that promotes the city as a tourism and convention destination, is leading an effort to raise money for a bronze sculpture of the character played by Henry Winkler on TV’s “Happy Days,” which was set in Milwaukee.
Some $45,000 has been raised toward a goal of $85,000 to commission the statue.”
Milwaukee has notched itself in as the best city in America. Beer and a bronze Fonz — What could be better?

prickly prank
It may have been a prank, but a criminal investigation has started into a bizarre incident at Tawas High School.
The Tawas-Alcona football game was moved to Alcona after thousands of toothpicks were found in the football field at Tawas.
It may have been a prank, but whoever pulled off the toothpick caper could face some criminal charges.
"It certainly was different," said Tawas Superintendent Don Thwing.
"This was the first for me," said Tawas Michigan State Police Lt. Robert Lesneski.
It was most likely the first for a lot of people who were waiting for the Tawas-Alcona football game to start Friday night.
One of the players during warm-ups felt something odd on the field, and that's when they realized someone had planted toothpicks into the turf.
Lesneski was on the field that night.
"At least a couple of thousand," he said. "You couldn't see them because they were pushed into the ground, probably half to three quarters of the way."
They used a tractor and roller to drive them into the field, but that didn't work.
That's when hundreds of fans came out of the stands and started helping remove the toothpicks. But the officials felt the field still wasn't safe.
Tawas High School also lost revenue that night as everyone got in the cars and headed north to Alcona County, where the game eventually started at 9:30 p.m.
Another school district offered its field that night, and Thwing says while a few may have gone out of their way to spoil senior night, the region came together to get the game in.
"When you look at the community response, it was just very gratifying," he said.
The investigation continues.
"We did recover some evidence at the scene that will probably lead us in the direction of where that product was purchased," Lesneski said.
The State Police is looking at an allegation that another area high school had a similar stunt where plastic forks were put into the football field a few weeks ago.

Overhead Cam Falls Onto Field in Seattle
An overhead NBC television camera mounted on wires collapsed onto the turf during a timeout in Sunday night's game between the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks, causing a 10-minute delay.
The Saints had just called timeout with 11:24 remaining in the first quarter when the camera slumped and then fell a few yards from where the Seahawks were huddling. After the camera was righted somewhat off the ground, it fell again—and nearly hit Bobby Engram as the Seattle receiver was walking to the sideline.
Game officials then cleared both teams from the middle of the field while the network got the camera back up to normal height. As the camera moved up and down the field for testing, Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren looked up at its every move with his mouth agape. When the camera moved to the sideline, Seattle's players all cleared out from beneath it.
After a 10-minute delay, the game resumed with the camera parked above the Seahawks bench area—with players and coaches making sure they did not stand under it.
Just before the game resumed, referee Jeff Triplette announced: "If any live ball were to touch the wires overhead, there will be a replay of the down, by rule."
optimus prime is calling
Optimus Prime, for whom being on the cutting edge of technology is always a point of pride, nonetheless settles for a well-worn marketing gimmick to sell the Transformers DVD: the old “Get a message from” phone call. When he calls, it sounds like he actually does want you to fight the Decepticons, but then he ruins the vibe by telling you to “buy the Transformers DVD, available Oct. 16.” His breathing is also kind of heavy.

which side are you on?
have you ever thought why some people can paint beautifully, but have difficulty adding two and two? Or why some people can understand the intricacies of calculus effortlessly, but struggle to write a one-page essay? It's all about which side of your brain dominates - the left or the right. The right is responsible for imagination, feelings and creativity, while the left is responsible for logic, details and facts.Want to know which side is dominant for you? Go to this link, look at the picture of the dancer and focus on which way she is turning. Is it clockwise? Or counter-clockwise?Adopt An Olive Tree
Here's a great chance to both do something great for the environment and get something fun to show for it: adopt yourself an olive tree! Nudo, an olive grove in Italy, is offering people the chance to support small scale artisanal farming (instead of the large mechanized operations that damage the earth) by adopting a specific olive tree. And when you adopt an olive tree in the grove for one year not only do you get the satisfaction from the environmental effort, but you also get all the produce from your tree. You'll get a Spring Package with the olive oil from your tree, and then an Autumn Package of more olive oil and some handmade olive oil soap. $130/year.
F.D.R.'s Clock Could Sell For $1 Million
A Pierre Cartier clock that belonged to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is scheduled to go up for auction on December 4th at Sotheby's in Manhattan. Cartier gave the onyx clock with several different time zones (specific to key Allied forces locations in World War II) to the President back in 1943. Letters between Cartier and President Roosevelt regarding the gift are not part of the sale but can be viewed in the FDR Presidential Library in Hyde Park, New York.
The clock comes with a red leather presentation box inscribed with "F.D.R" and is expected to sell for as much as $1 million dollars.

coke vs. pepsi
Indiana, Pa. — The long-standing rivalry between Coke and Pepsi took a physical turn Friday when a Pepsi deliveryman allegedly punched his Coke counterpart in the face at a western Pennsylvania Wal-Mart, state police said.
The two deliverymen were "apparently bickering back and forth" while unloading their wares at the Indiana County store, police said. When the Coke deliveryman left the store, his counterpart allegedly punched him in the face three times, breaking his nose and giving him a black eye, police said.
No charges have been filed, but police characterized the incident as a misdemeanor simple assault.

rachel ray is "evil"
Now, this isn't exactly breaking news. Bourdain has had a lot of things to say about Rachael Ray, as well as other TV cooks like Sandra Lee and Emeril Lagasse. But his venom is a little bit more specific this week.
The Kitchen Confidential author/No Reservations star takes a dig at Ray for endorsing Dunkin' Donuts in the latest issue of Outside:
"She's got a magazine, a TV empire, all these best-selling books - I'm guessing she's not hurting for money. She's hugely influential, particularly with children. And she's endorsing Dunkin' Donuts. It's like endorsing crack for kids."
Of course, Ray's reps answered Bourdain by saying that if you watch her shows (all 40 of them), she actually preaches moderation.
carve 'em, eat 'em, chuck 'em?
Halloween's most famous symbol (except maybe the white-sheet ghost) has several uses: front-porch prop, tasty fall vegetable, and carving medium. But chucking pumpkins is becoming a popular activity as well. And this is some serious chucking: The World Championship Punkin Chunkin contest last year attracted 50,000 spectators and 100 teams.
So what is pumpkin chucking? More than just tossing the orange vegetable, the "sport" incorporates launching machines like air compressors, catapults, centrifugal machines that spin the pumpkins before hurling them, and trebuchets. The contest's record for distance was set in 2003, when a pumpkin flew 4,434 feet.
Other chucking contests include:
Pumpkin Chuckin in Moab, Utah, Oct. 27.
The Bristol Pumpkin Festival, Bristol, Conn., Oct. 28. Contestants are invited to power their pumpkins with "springs, rubber bands, air, muscle, centrifugal force, brute strength, power architecture and bicycles."
Pumpkin-chucking weekend, Nov. 3-4, in Ellicott City, Md.
