BERLIN, Dec 12 (Reuters Life!) - German shoppers sprang to the help of a shoplifter who was being detained after trying to steal clothes at a department store, wrongly assuming she was being attacked by strangers, police said on Tuesday. Two store detectives caught a woman in her mid-30s stealing garments in the city of Mainz near Frankfurt and attempted to detain her for questioning, police said. But the woman tried to free herself, and bit, kicked and hit the detectives who wrestled her down in a skirmish, prompting passers-by worried about her safety to help her. "They hauled the detectives away from her ... The woman managed to run away," Mainz police said in a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, nobody is being told. It's been 5 or 6 years since we've seen Christmas bonuses. And friggin' 3 years since we've even seen merit salary increases. And they still haven't given a straight answer whether I have a job come January – first my group was axed, then we were told we "must have misunderstood" (can you say backpedal?). Now I've been urged to hurry up and interview for a new position within the organization (which I did), so maybe we didn't misunderstand so much afterall. . . AAARRRGHHHH!!!

Rex Kickass Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 If we aren't getting bonuses, that's fine.

Texsox Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 SUMMARY OF MY LAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER I must send my thanks to whomever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has promised to grant my every wish. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer can buy gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans. I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS. I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan. I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike. I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe. Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my ass. Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything. And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 lying near my car in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg. Oh, and don't forget this one either! I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies! If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician... Have a wonderful day.... A South American scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain and sexual activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.

Rowand44 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I am one lucky SOB. My history teacher gave us 8 essay questions that could possibly be on our final, but only 3 would actually be on there and we'd have to choose one to write about(essay question is half the final). So anyways, I knew 2 of them completely and the other 6 I didn't know at all. Both of the questions I knew ended up being on the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 "Dogs Playing Poker" is one of the world's most famous paintings. Although not exactly known as a great work of art, the painting's "corny but cool" quality has given it a kind of eternal fame. If only the same were true for its creator... There are actually nine original versions of "Dogs Playing Poker." All were painted by the same man, C.M Coolidge. DogsPlayingPoker.org features a rather exhaustive biography full of interesting details. We were surprised to learn Coolidge was "an established artist even before he painted anything involving dogs and poker." According to this article from CNN, Coolidge's works were commissioned by a Minnesota advertising firm. Later, Coolidge turned his dog paintings into posters, calendars, and prints. He was paid for his efforts, but the money he earned was small potatoes compared to the $590,000 two of his works brought at auction in 2005. If half a million bucks is out of your budget, consider our original collection of cats playing pinochle. They're signed, framed, and perfect for the ironic hipster in your life.
