More Things to Worry About on Monday
An Idaho family filed a $2M lawsuit against the sheriff (aka "jack-booted thug") for warrantlessly breaking into their home to rescue animals in alleged squalor (but keywords include: "double-wide," "two deer living inside"). Spokesman-Review (Spokane)
Policework continues to get easier: Among the items seized in the arrest of a 62-yr-old New York drug dealer was a homemade "biopic" on DVD, basically a documentary celebrating the guy's lifetime achievements in drug dealing. Times Herald-Record (Middletown, N.Y.)
A German prisoner escaped by having himself mailed out in a box supposedly containing stationery from the prison workshop (with the box being reported inadequately as 60 inches by 48 inches but no third measurement). BBC News
It's always something . . but they say if we take this "renewable energy" thing too far, doctors might see an influx of cases of "Wind Turbine Syndrome" (like, vertigo, motion sickness, etc.). KATU-TV (Portland, Ore.)
Legislation in the UK Parliament would require schools to "invite and consider" suggestions from students on serious administrative issues ("not simply on what colour to paint the walls"), which doesn't sound really awful until one considers that legal requirements, if thought by parents to be inadequately met, often deteriorate into . . lawsuits! Daily Mail
Those protests last year in Myanmar against the generals? That'll cost the demonstrators 65 yrs or so in the slammer. (Bonus: It's too much trouble to convict them of treason, etc., so they convicted them of using the Internet and cell phones without gov't permission. 65 yrs for that.) New York Times

2 Deer Deer tend to wander and there's no sense shoving good corn down a deer's throat that you're going to allow some hunter to harvest for himself! Logical, keep it safe inside!
Wind Turbine Syndrome I got whiplash once because of a wind turbine! Saw a flatbed carrying only 2 of the 3 blades on an extended bed! Seriously impressive glimpse as we passed on the interstate!

Two Deer - the deer were “released into the wild”. Now we wait for the news story of someone hitting and killing a deer (or two) in downtown Coeur d'Alene.
Drug Raid w/DVD - You just know someone in Hollywood is itching to get their hands on that DVD. With some half-ass re-writes they will be peddling a movie script to the major movie studios in no time.
German Escapes in a Box - 150cm by 120cm? That has to be one very slim individual to make his escape in that envelope.
Wind Farm - Sing with me now! "The propellers on the turbines go 'round and 'round, and the profits to the company go up and up!"
Student Input - student input should extend as far as "yes teacher, I did my homework. Thank you for teaching me today." Done. No more is needed from them under normal, everyday circumstances.
Myanmar - Just as soon as the U.S. Government (Corporate) leadership learns that Myanmar has unlawfully been selling natural gas to any country or company NOT American, they will declare a war based on false information regarding weapons of mass destruction and then every citizen will be facing 65 years in prison.

having himself mailed Now that's thinking outside the box! Or is that thinking inside the box? Or just thinking about the box?
