Playing Chicken

Anybody for Truth or Dare? If you feel like playing chicken, do it on a calm and quiet country road; don’t be like the 18-year-old Australian who went on the freeway, in Melbourne…in his underwear.  You can guess what happened next; luckily the people in the car that hit him weren’t hurt, although their car was totaled. The idiot himself did end up in the hospital with critical injuries, but then he sort of asked for it. The Melbourne police dept. agrees: “Police are dismayed at the utter stupidity of a man who decided to play chicken on the Tullamarine Freeway,” their statement said. (Source: Yahoo)

Residents who live near a school bus stop in Milford, Mass., are puzzled and irritated at the actions of the –as yet- anonymous pantyhose bandit. Yes, that’s right, he or she has a nickname. Somebody has been leaving used and unused black pantyhose on the ground for nearly two years; resident Laurie Warich told the Daily Milford News she picked up 43 pairs in one day. “It’s weird, it’s odd, it’s scary for the kids,” she said.

Police Chief Thomas O’Loughlin says the only crime is littering and the department doesn’t have the resources to focus on the case.
