I couldn't make this up if I tried...It's a hairy situation Burglars steal hair from Chicago business http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110425/ap_ on_fe_st/us_odd_chicago_hair_heist Chicago police have a real head-scratching case on their hands as they try to root out who stole human hair from a beauty-supply company. Police say the theft of what they consider a "very valuable" amount of hair was taken early Sunday by burglars of the Beauty One shop. Authorities say the culprits pried open a huge steel door that had been secured with two deadbolt locks, then swiped the hair. No dollar amount for the hair was given, and there was no immediate explanation why thieves would want it. A police sergeant says he's been to a lot of robberies, but never one involving hair. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit WHOA on the web at http://www.haltabuse.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEWS T...

I couldn't make this up if I tried...They go gaga over Lady Gaga Whales can't resist a catchy pop tune: study http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110414/sc _afp/scienceaustraliamusicanimaloffbeat_ 20110414160558 Humpback whales love a good hit single, and every year a new catchy pop tune spreads among the male underwater crooners, said an Australian study released Thursday. The men are the only ones who sing, likely in the hopes of making some lady whale swoon, according to the research published in the US journal Current Biology. If there is a whale version of the King of Pop, he likely resides off the coast of eastern Australia, because that is where the popular tune of the season has always originated for the past decade, researchers said. The hit-making tune then ripples eastward across the South Pacific Ocean, from Australia to French Polynesia, infecting genetically distinct groups of whales who all start singing the same song during breeding season. In typical pop music fashio...

Charlotte robbery suspect drops T-shirt at scene http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110408/ap_ on_fe_st/us_odd_t_shirt_clue A suspect in a North Carolina home invasion robbery is in jail after a T-shirt bearing his photo was found outside the crime scene. The Charlotte Observer reports Friday that the shirt fell out of the suspect's car as he was making a hasty getaway. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say a man and woman were at home when two men broke in March 29 and took a wallet and some jewelry. The suspects struggled with the man as they fled. Later, the man found a black T-shirt on the ground displaying a mug shot and the slogan: "Making money is my thang." Two days later, 25-year-old Jonathan Tyrone Huntley turned himself in and was charged with common law robbery and breaking and entering. It wasn't immediately known if he has a lawyer. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *...

But a YouTube clip shows a 4-year-old New Jersey twin crying because he can't be governor of New Jersey. When Jesse Koczon's mom asks why he was upset, Jesse responds, "'Cause everyone tells me I'm too small to be the governor of New Jersey." Dawn Koczon told the Asbury Park Press the video was taped on Election Day 2009 after Koczon and her husband took Jesse and his brother to the polls in Old Bridge. Gov. Chris Christie responded on Twitter: "Don't worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn't be Governor, though being too small wasn't one of them." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ...

The U.S. attorney's office in Idaho says 60-year-old Ricky Vaughn Barry of Hamilton, Mont., was sentenced Wednesday to a year and a day in prison for impersonating his ex-wife when speaking to company representatives. The calls to open a line of credit and order a $4,000 bed and sheets were recorded. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Mitchell in Boise said the case against the former Coeur d'Alene resident developed after his ex-wife pulled her credit report and found accounts used to purchase the bed and a laptop. The federal charges did not include the laptop purchase, but both items were sold to help pay just over $7,700 in restitution. * * * * * * * * * * *...

I couldn't make this up if I tried. . .Stupid criminal Pa. bank robbery presents 2 forms of ID http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110321/ap_ on_fe_st/us_bank_robbery_id Police say a man tried to open an account before robbing a central Pennsylvania bank, but only after he'd already handed over two forms of identification. Harrisburg police say 35-year-old Daniel Rahynes walked into a bank on Sunday and told tellers he was interested in opening an account. After he gave bank employees his information, he declared that he was actually there to rob the bank. Investigators say Rahynes drove off with a small amount of cash, striking another vehicle. Meanwhile the bank contacted police, who issued a warrant for his arrest. Police in a neighboring county took Rahynes into custody following another crash near Carlisle and learned of the warrant. Rahynes faces bank robbery charges. It was not clear if he had an attorney. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ...

Police said the man remained at large after the attempted robbery on Wednesday in New Rochelle, about 25 miles (40 km) north of New York City. "He slipped a note through the teller's slot that said 'money in bag,'" said police Captain Joseph Schaller said. "She refused and with that, she activated the alarm, turned away from the window and he ran out the door." The bank closed briefly but soon reopened for business, police said. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit WHOA on the web at http://www.haltabuse.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEWS TO USE...
