Don’t Lose Your Head part 1 Old Film from 1898
Early filmmakers like George Melies used the novelty of film to astound audiences with seemingly impossible tricks. This will still not prepare you for the second entry which I will post tommorrow. Check out the other early films created over 100 years ago -- some much more clever than our attempts today.Hints for tomorrow -- it's not a Melies clip and is probably not safe for work.
Remember -- don't lose your head!!

Your Daily Loser & Jury Duty for May 26th
Your Daily Loser - Romeo Montillano, of San Diego, California, wanted to be a cop more than anything. Well, almost. Apparently he wanted to be a burglar more. The Story.Jury Duty - No good deed shall go unpunished! 81 year-old James Stacy of Akron, Ohio, has been charged with criminal damaging after he took a pickaxe and a broom to a pothole in front of his driveway to clear debris. One of Mr. Stacy's neighbors summed up the situation pretty well when she said, "I think this whole thing is asinine." The Story.

Your Daily Loser & Jury Duty for May 25th
Your Daily Loser - Pauline Terry wrote a letter to the police denying that her Club Compass in Ramsgate, Kent was a haven for drug taking. Unfortunately she wrote that letter on a piece of paper that was coated with cocaine. The Story.Jury Duty - Some morons will do anything for money. For instance, William Cunningham was recently sentenced to 100 years in prison for poisoning his children's soup in order to extort money from the Campbell's Soup company. The Story. I'm guessing he won't be getting a card on father's day. (This is also further proof that men with facial hair can't be trusted.)
