Sometimes ya gotta wonder if people have a screw lose, or are just plain NUTS!
Here are some strange 9/11 calls to the Chatham police department over the last year!
1. A man called police to help him retrieve his personal property. The man had gone to his girlfriend’s home and taken out his glass eye. He was upset that she hid his eye and refused to return it.
2. A female driver who saw a goat on the road called police to report the animal had jumped in the vehicle when she got out to look for an address to give the 911 operator.
3. Calls about bored youths trying to “trip” cars with dog leashes.
4. A squirrel jumped through the open window of a car, causing the driver to accelerate into a ravine. Luckily the driver was not injured and the squirrel now looks before leaping.
5. It would be expected that a person would call police to report a $90,000 fraud. However, it’s not common that the caller names Sen. Mike Duffy in Ottawa as the accused.
6. A man called police because rain water from his neighbour’s roof was falling on his property.
7. Police receive call about a dispute between neighbours started over porch lights one of them felt were too bright.
8. A woman called 911 after she opened her bathroom cupboard and was face-to-face with a possum. Animal control was called.
9. A home owner relaxing in his hot tub was startled by a male who jumped his fence and fell into the pool. Any criminal plans the male had quickly sizzled. He hastily left the hot tub and sloshed away into the darkness.
10. If you’re on probation with conditions not to drive a motor vehicle, it may not be a good idea to drive your e-bike to your probation appointment.

When revelers pack Times Square to ring in 2014, they will be
greeted with some familiar practices: The annual ball drop, a hefty
police presence and live musical performances. But for the first time in
a decade, a New York City mayor won’t attend the countdown at the
crossroads of the world.
SO!
In a surprise move, Toronto City council has informed New York that they can have Rob Ford for the Day!

Less than two weeks after Canada Post announced it would end
door-to-door delivery for urban Canadians, the Crown Corporation aims to

Period!
The belt tightening proposals were outlined Friday in the Canada Gazette, the government’s official publication with information on laws and government appointments.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe in evolution, while a third say that humans and other life forms have existed in their current states since the beginning of time, according to a new poll.
The most prominent organization behind this Creation movement has been the Discovery Institute, the driving force behind the intelligent design movement.
Through its Center for Science and Culture, the Institute conducts a number of related public relations and lobbying campaigns aimed at influencing the public and policy makers in order to advance its position in academia. The Discovery Institute claims that because there is a significant lack of public support for evolution, that public schools should, as their campaign states, “Teach the Controversy“.
BUT! We’re not so smart either kids ………………………….., 59% of Canadians believe that humans evolved from less advanced life forms, but 42% agree that humans and dinosaurs co-existed on earth. Only 22% believe that God created human beings in their present form within the last 10,000 years
A UK poll on the “origin and development of life” asked participants to choose between three different explanations for the origin of life: 22% chose (Young Earth) creationism, 17% opted for intelligent design, 48% selected evolution theory (with a divine role explicitly excluded) and the rest did not know.
A 2010 survey conducted by Auspoll and the Australian Academy of Science found that 79% of Australians believe in evolution (71% believe it is currently occurring, 8% believe in evolution but do not think it is currently occurring), 11% were not sure and 10% stated they do not believe in evolution.
Now you might find THIS interesting!

AND HERE YOU THOUGHT THE GREEKS HAD LONG, STUPID NAMES …………………….!
A Hawaii woman whose last name is 36 characters long has finally gotten the whole thing to fit on her driver’s license and state identification card.
Janice “Lokelani” Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele
(KAY’-ee-hah-nah-EE’-coo-COW’-ah-KAH’-hee-HOO’-lee-heh-eh-KAH’-how-NAH-eh-leh)
has a surname that consists of 35 letters plus an okina, a mark used in
the Hawaiian alphabet. She received her new license and ID after her
campaign to get her full name on the cards prompted the state Department
of Transportation to change its policy to expand the number of
characters that can appear.
Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele is now hoping to get the Social Security Administration to allow more characters on its identification cards.
(I wonder how many times this woman needed to spell her name? Oh, wait a minute! Of course! EVERY TIME!)
—————————————————
Folks, all I can do is call this woman our “ASSHOLE OF THE DAY” although she is much more than that!
How’s THIS for a Christmas surprise!
A 13-year-old girl is dead and her mother is behind bars, accused of stabbing her ex-husband and trying to kill her children by poisoning them.
“Although an autopsy for Aniarael was conducted yesterday in
Pima County, the results of which did not identify a cause of death,
investigators feel the evidence found at the scene of the crime along
with interviews and medical information of the surviving children, give
our Department cause to believe Connie Villa was attempting to end the
lives of all of her children and her ex-husband, Adam Villa,” the
statement read.
About 290 customers are still without electricity in Toronto, more than a week after an ice storm hit Eastern Canada and knocked out electricity to about 300,000.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and Toronto Hydro on Monday officials gave
what would be their final daily update on the power outages that came in
the wake of a powerful ice storm two weekends ago.
They wanted to start 2014 with a clean slate, so a hydro spokesman was heard to say: “To hell with it, 290 is close enough ……., let’s go home!”

It was a big year for the Toronto Zoo with the
controversial departure of the three elephants and arrival of two
pandas, but as 2013 winds to a close the zoo is looking toward the
future and its 40 birthday.
The Toronto Zoo will turn 40 in August, celebrating four decades of showcasing exotic animals to the Canadian public.
The only dark cloud on the horizon is whether the giraffe exhibit will open in time for the spring rush since one of the giraffes slipped on the ice last week and will be in a cast for about three months!

AND REMEMBER, FOLKS!
The age of the incandescent bulb will fade to black starting on Wednesday, as federal rules aimed at improving efficiency come into effect New Year’s Day.
The 75-watt and 100-watt
incandescent bulbs have been phased out and starting Jan. 1 light bulb
manufacturers can no longer supply the Canadian market with the bulbs.
Oh, it’s true that British astronomer Patrick Moore did say on BBC Radio that a conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto would cause what he called the ‘Jovian–Plutonian gravitational effect‘ — where the gravitational pull of the two planets would combine to momentarily counter Earth’s gravity and make everyone lighter. He also said that if everyone jumped at 9:47 a.m. on the day in question, they would feel a floating sensation.
However, Moore, who died in December 2012, said those things over 38 years ago, in April 1976. Not only that, but the exact time and date of the phenomenon should set off alarm bells in people’s minds — 9:47 a.m. on the 1st of April, or April Fools Day.
By the way………………….!
(It’s nine o’clock in the morning as I write this bunky, yet I just heard that they already celebrated New Years in Australia!)

How’s THIS for a Christmas surprise!
A 13-year-old girl is dead and her mother is behind bars, accused of stabbing her ex-husband and trying to kill her children by poisoning them.
Officers in Casa Grande, Arizona, responded to a 911
call on Christmas Day. A man said that his ex-wife, 35-year-old Connie
Villa, had stabbed him but that he had managed to escape and was driving
himself to a hospital, police said in a statement.
When officers arrived at
the home, they found Villa with stab wounds, holding a knife to her
chest. They managed to subdue her and conducted a sweep of the home.
Police found the body of Aniarael Macias, Villa’s daughter, in the
bathroom.
“Although an autopsy for Aniarael was conducted yesterday in
Pima County, the results of which did not identify a cause of death,
investigators feel the evidence found at the scene of the crime along
with interviews and medical information of the surviving children, give
our Department cause to believe Connie Villa was attempting to end the
lives of all of her children and her ex-husband, Adam Villa,” the
statement read.
Connie Villa faces one
count of first degree murder in the death of her daughter. She is also
being charged with four counts of attempted murder of her ex-husband and
her three surviving children, ages 3, 5 and 8.
(Police say she forced
her children to take prescription narcotic drugs. The three children had
trace amounts of opiates in their systems.)

AND FINALLY:
So, a story surfaced on the Internet earlier this month
that seems to have a lot of people excited about January 14th, 2014, or
so-called ‘Zero G Day.’ Apparently, a planetary alignment between
Jupiter and Pluto at 9:47 a.m. on that day will allow anyone leaping
into the air at exactly that moment to defy gravity for a short time,
taking up to three seconds to float back down to the ground.
Unfortunately for anyone really looking forward to experiencing such
an extraordinary phenomenon, there’s several problems with the story,
the biggest of which is that it’s just not true.Oh, it’s true that British astronomer Patrick Moore did say on BBC Radio that a conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto would cause what he called the ‘Jovian–Plutonian gravitational effect‘ — where the gravitational pull of the two planets would combine to momentarily counter Earth’s gravity and make everyone lighter. He also said that if everyone jumped at 9:47 a.m. on the day in question, they would feel a floating sensation.
