Nancy Grace Prank
Do you ever watch Nancy Grace? I don’t know why, but I do. I hate almost everything about the show from the death ray stare Nancy has to the rhyming Sue Moss -- oh and the callers.. “Congrats on your twins Nancy… blah blah blah.” Nancy does not even look like a nice person even in her softest moments.
So, I have no idea why I watch the show, and to be fair I don’t really watch it, it’s just usually on while I’m working at night as some background noise. And it certainly is noise.
In this video, I’m sure Nancy’s head was about to explode as her crew pulled this prank on her.

Heart Attack 101
Some students at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina got a lesson in terror on Friday.
The News & Observer reports that an armed gunman burst into a classroom at the university and threatened to kill the students in the American foreign policy class.
The students and the assistant professor were not aware that it was an emergency response drill. Oops.
Not such a smart move. The students and the instructor were terrified and thought that they actually were going to die. University officials have apologized and offered them all counseling. They say that they did send out an e-mail and text messages five days in advance of the mock-attack, but not everyone received the warning. Certainly the assistant professor and seven students thought that it was real.
Students in other classrooms moved furniture to block their doors. Some considered jumping out of the windows to escape, some sent frantic text messages to their loved ones. After ten minutes of terror, university police arrived and removed the man.
Still, after it was over no one explained what had happened and the students and faculty were not advised that it had been a drill. They found out later that they had been scared out of their minds in the interests of university safety.
Fired For Not Smoking
I have heard of people being fired because they smoke, but I have never come across a story like this before.
In Berlin, Germany, the owner of a small computer company has fired the 3 non-smokers who worked there. It seems as though those pesky non-smokers were causing a fuss about not wanting to breathe the second hand smoke so the boss came up with what could be the only reasonable solution – he fired them. 
The boss said he couldn't be bothered with trouble makers and so he let them go and in the future will only hire people who smoke.
Dog Steals Truck!
Charles McCowan and his dog Max went to the mini-mart in Azusa, California last week. McCowan went inside the store to make his purchase, but when he came back out, the truck and Max were gone. Since he believed that his truck had been stolen, McCowan called the police to file a report.
When the cops got there, they found that the truck, and 80-pound Max, were across the street in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant. The security footage shows the truck rolling backwards out of the mini-mart parking lot into traffic.
Bad dog! Max had knocked the truck out of gear while McCowan was inside the store and it rolled all the way across the street. Luckily, other cars dodged the wayward vehicle and Max and the truck were both unharmed.
I hope McCowan bought Max a burger after the ordeal.
Will They Kiss and Make Up?
In Haverstraw, New York, a couple recently got into a real knock-down-drag-out, or maybe we should call it a knock-down-drive-out because of how it all went down.
The man held onto his girlfriend's car roof and was punching her through the car window as she drove for a mile on a busy road with the airbag inflated. She hit several other cars along the way, but the guy continued to hold on.
She eventually stopped the car and apparently her boyfriend flew off of it, then she hit him with the car.
William Kremer and Stacey Sperrazza were both injured in the driving fight. Sperrazza suffered head and eye wounds and Kremer hurt his foot. They were both arrested.
Sperrazzza was charged with felony reckless endangerment and Kremer was charged with misdemeanor assault.
I Need A Nap…
Did You Know…
1. Many years ago, in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only…Ladies Forbidden" … and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
O RLY?
2. The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Fred and WIlma didn't have twin beds? I didn't know that and I watched The Flinstones all the time!
3. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.
But Monopoly money isn't half as much fun to spend.
4. Men can read smaller print better than women can; women can hear better.
I know we hear better, for sure.
5. Coca-Cola was originally green.
And it also came with an extra ingredient too, didn't it? Something to put a little pep in your step and get you hooked?
6. It is impossible to lick your elbow.
I bet you just tried.
7. The state with the highest percentage of people who walk to work: Alaska
Interesting.
8. The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% ( now get this…) The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%
I find this hard to believe.. but they say it is absolutely true, although I'm sure that North American number is being reduced every day.
9. The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $6,400
Wow.. and we have a small, a medium and a large.
10. The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour: 61,000.
And they're safer than those of us down here in cars, most of the time.
Another Edition of Useless Facts
• Among web pages that show a copyright date, 3.5% have a date that is more than one year out of date. As of February of 2008, 11.4% of pages with obviously new information still show "© 2007"
(brb, I need to go check something)
• The Recording Academy, which is the organization that awards the Grammys, voted 69 percent to 30 percent against changing the name of The Grammys to The Ceedees. The vote was forced by members who contend very few people remember what a gramophone is and re-naming it for CDs would make it more relevant to today's music fans.
Ceedees? Come on, that's ridiculous.
• Until he was elected Vice President, Dick Cheney would make his own buckshot shells for hunting. The Secret Service has a strict rule against Presidents and Vice Presidents handling ammunition except to load it into a firearm.
I'm sure the old codger still handles ammunition when no one is looking.
• On the set of the original Star Trek series, cast and crew members would refer to William Shatner as 'Porky" behind his back.
But wait… was he even fat back then?
• Light bulbs that are not screwed into their socket snuggly enough use 3 percent more electricity than those that are properly screwed in.
(brb again, have to check something)
• 23 percent of garments labeled " dry clean only" can be traditionally washed without causing any damage.
I knew it! They label clothing as " Dry clean only" so that it is perceived as a high end garment and then they can charge more for it.
• ATM fees account for one tenth of Bank of America's revenue.
Those bastards! Luckily, I bank with them, so they don't get any revenue when I use their ATMs.
• Paint giant Sherwin-Williams has spent nine years and $38 million developing an ultra-opaque paint capable of covering twice the square footage of conventional latex wall paint. This new paint is slated to be released in September 2008.
Sounds cool. Wonder how much this stuff will cost though?
• Two percent of Christmas trees put up in December are left up until at least February of the next year. One tenth of one percent will be left up until the following Christmas.
(ummm.. brb) Just kidding, luckily my mom came over and put ours away for us before February.
• It is against federal law to use or sell water balloons in the District of Columbia between the months of October and March.
hmmm.. I wonder why? If the water in a water balloon froze, and then someone threw it at you.. that would hurt, wouldn't it? But how often would that really happen?
