Better To Let A Sleeping Dog Lie?
A dog, dreams of chasing something . . . a rabbitt, a car, of running through a door which is normally open?

Comedy Cosmos Presents Its First "Hack" - How To Make A Flashlight More Powerful Than A Cop's $95 Flashlight For Less Than $10
One of the video types I've noticed on the Internet are "hacks" of familiar items we use everyday. Sometimes, what is called a hack (be it of software, tools, media devices, etc.) is nothing more than just a "retrofit" of a device with cooler features.
Regardless, these neat videos are all over the place and can be used to lower your living expenses when you "hack" an item that saves you money.
Here's the first video we will spotlight as "Hack No. 1 - "How To Make A Flashlight More Powerful Than A Cop's $95 Flashlight For Less Than $10"
The reason I'll show "hacks" is that they are a funny and interesting solution to an expensive store bought item. Enjoy!

Hunter Parrish of "Weeds" Gives Us Lessons In Cougar 101
If you have ever watched "Weeds" on Showtime (or as I have via Netflix's Roku box), you are hooked form episode one of the first year because it is one of the funniest dramas on TV ever.
One of the actors on "Weeds", Hunter Parrish, plays the troubled teenage son of Mary-Louise Parker, the star actress of Weeds. So, just a bit ago I was stumbling through another website when I saw the following video with Hunter Parrish selling his "Cougar 101" course. I found the "bulleted" headlines at the end of the spot to be the funniest part of this video.
If you're a Weeds fan, you're used to Parrish's biting wit. Here, I don't know how he keeps a straight face as he delivers his lines.

3 Contractors At The Tourist Attraction
Three contractors were visiting a tourist attraction on the same day. One was from New York, another from Texas, and the third from Florida.
At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did for a living. When they all replied that they were contractors, the guard said, "Hey, we need one of the rear fences redone. Why don't you guys take a look at it and give me a bid?"
So, to the back fence they all went to check it out.
First to step up was the Florida contractor. He took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, "Well I figure the job will run about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."
Next was the Texas contractor. He also took out his tape measure and pencil, did some quick figuring and said, "Looks like I can do this job for $700. $300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.
Without so much as moving, the New York contractor said, "$2,700."
The guard, incredulous, looked at him and said, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
"Easy," he said $1,000 for me, $1,000 for you and we hire the guy from Texas."

Former NYPD Officer suing the city for religious discrimination after he was fired for saying things like he'd seen "demons" at Police HQ
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
A police officer who allegedly once claimed to have seen a demon in police headquarters is suing the NYPD, saying brass stripped him of his badge and gun because he's too religious.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Lt. Dominic Maglione, 44, said he has been placed on modified duty at Brooklyn's 90th Precinct because of his "religious beliefs and practices."
The NYPD's "decision to remove [Maglione's] badge and gun because of [his] allegedly 'excessive' religious practices violates the First Amendment," the suit said.(snip)
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Police Friday were continuing to investigate a prank that left some Kentucky Fried Chicken employees naked outside the restaurant Thursday.
Investigators said the workers at the Manchester restaurant were victims of a mean and dangerous prank.
A manager pulled a pin for the restaurant's fire suppression system, which rained chemicals on her and others, because she was told to by a man on the phone claiming to be her boss from the corporate office.
"And then they were told by this person on the phone to go outside and disrobe and actually urinate on one another to decontaminate each other," said Lt. Peter Bartlett.
Police said that somehow, the prankster managed to keep the employees on the phone for 10 to 15 minutes. Only when someone in the parking lot called police to say a woman was standing in the doorway naked did police and fire show up, and that's when the prankster finally hung up.

Maybe Americans Have More Hemmorhoids?
The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country's love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners. At fault, they say, is the US public's insistence on extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.
"This is a product that we use for less than three seconds and the ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees is enormous," said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defence Council.
"Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution." Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.
Mother Of The Week: Mom Attempts To Swap Her 2 Children For Cockatoo
(open link to see police blotter photos of the mother and the cockatoo's owners)FEBRUARY 26--A trio of Louisiana nitwits agreed to swap two young children for a $1500 cockatoo and $175, police charge. The deranged exchange was hatched after Donna Greenwell, a 51-year-old trucker, learned that the bird was being offered for sale by Brandy Romero, 27, and Paul Romero, 46. According to Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office investigators, Brandy Romero told cops that Greenwell contacted her and said that while she could not afford the cockatoo's price tag, she did have children to trade (in a bid to sell the bird, the Romeros posted a flyer at a barn, where Greenwell spotted the notice, which included a photo of the cockatoo). Investigators have determined that Greenwell is not the mother of the children, a four-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy. It appears as if the children, whose mother is a criminal fugitive, have resided with various families over the past several years, and have spent the past year in the custody of Greenwell, a convicted pedophile with a lengthy rap sheet. Greenwell and the Romeros, pictured below in photos released by the Evangeline sheriff, have each been charged with aggravated kidnapping. The children swapped for the bird are now living with a temporary foster family, according to investigator Keith Dupre, who added that the cockatoo was recovered from Greenwell's home, where two other birds resided. When confronted by deputies, Greenwell denied trading the children for the bird, which she claimed was simply given to her by the Romeros.

Nightwatchman at morgue may have had sex with hundreds of corpses over the last 16 years
(snip)On many nights over 16 years, Kenneth Douglas engaged in his own personal macabre workplace party.
He often brought drugs or alcohol to work and sometimes had sex with women.
At least three of those women were dead, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said Thursday.
But if Douglas is to be believed, he could have had sex with as many as "over a hundred" bodies in the 16 years he worked as night attendant at the Hamilton County morgue.
"I am sure there are more (victims). I'm certain of it," Deters said Thursday in announcing new indictments against Douglas.
"This guy's just a pig. I can't explain why someone would do something like this. ...This is off-the-charts weird."
