Terrorist Costume + Depositing Paycheck = Idiot

BANK SCARE: Kennewick man’s Halloween costume bombs

By Paula Horton, Herald staff writer

Call this one not such a bright idea.

A Kennewick man who dressed up like a terrorist bomber and went into a bank Friday morning found out no one appreciated his Halloween costume.

Kennewick police were called around 10:15 a.m. to U.S. Bank, 303 W. First Ave., after people driving by saw a man wearing a white robe and turban walking into the bank, Sgt. Jesse Mill said.

Oh, and he also had a fake bomb strapped around him.

“The device he made was very, very realistic looking,” Mill said.

A deputy who was across the street saw him going inside the bank.

Officers called the bank while the man was still inside and bank officials said everything was OK and that he was a regular customer, Mill said.

But the 39-year-old, who is 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, was stopped by officers as he exited the bank and ordered to lie down to the ground.

He told police he knew the people at the bank and thought it would be entertaining to go in there dressed like a terrorist.

“In this day and age … it’s not real smart,” Mill said.

The man was identified and a report will be forwarded to the city attorney to see if any charges are warranted, Mill said.

The man’s identity was not released because he wasn’t arrested or cited.

Paris Hilton is afraid of 10,000 year time warp...

Paris Hilton, space cadet - 10:08AM Tuesday Oct 28, 2008

Paris Hilton, who has paid a reported US$200,000 for a seat on an intergalactic flight, is scared of going into space in case she doesn't return for 10,000 years.

The socialite is one of many celebrities - believed to include singer Moby, Star Trek star William Shatner and Alien actress Sigourney Weaver - hoping to board Richard Branson's first-ever commercial space flight, Virgin Galactic, but admits she is worried about going into orbit.

She said: "I'm very scared to do it. What if I don't come back? With the whole light years thing, what if I come back 10,000 years later, and everyone I know is dead? I'll be like, 'Great. Now I have to start all over.'"

An estimated 157 people have signed up to take the flight, paying a deposit of US$200,000 for their seat.

The first flight is currently being planned for 2010.

It was recently reported Virgin Galactic had turned down a US$1 million offer to shoot a sex video in space.

The company declined the offer to film sex scenes while the participants are floating in zero gravity.

The Trabant

Three million of these P.O.S. cars were made in East Germany between 1952 and 1991.

The car used a two-stroke engine - you had to mix the oil with your gas every time you filled up. The body was made from a resin of cotton and phenol waste called Duroplast, which is an environmental nightmare; you cant bury it and you cant burn it.

Heres a couple jokes about the the Trabant:

• West German businessman who is driving a Mercedes through East Germany on a rainy night when his windshield wipers stop working. He takes it to an East German mechanic, who tells him there are no Mercedes windshield wiper motors in the GDR, but he will do his best to fix it. When the businessman returns the next day, to his surprise the windshield wipers are working perfectly. "How did you find a Mercedes windshield wiper motor in the East," he asks the mechanic. "We didn't," replies the mechanic, "We used the engine motor of a Trabant."
• How do you double the value of a Trabant? Fill up the tank!

Here a great video on how s***ty they were made (look for the busted tail light while the car rolls off the assembly line):


Listen to that engine roar...

Check out this sweet rig... The dog fetch machine has proximity sensors and IR sensors for safety... It took him two years to create it. He has a computer that tracks how many balls have been thrown. Turns out his dog only used it THREE times by itself... I guess you cant replace a human yet...
