What in your life is being literally held together by duct tape?

Interesting story out of Spotwood, NJ, where police arrested a woman who sealed herself in her car using duct tape.  They had to break the driver's side window to remove the woman who had duct taped the entire vehicle - the outside AND inside including the steering wheel and door locks.  Authorities took her in to get some 'special help,' if you know what I mean.  

A police captain said she "was making comments about airplanes flying overhead that were trying to get her."  

Why does your GPS hate you?

How much do you rely on your GPS?  Do you follow it even when you know it's wrong?  Not a good idea... two examples:

  • Robert Ziegler's GPS took him straight up a 'glorified goat track' until his van got stuck near the peak of a mountain in Bergun, Switzerland.  There was no way to go forward or turn around.  He ended up getting his van airlifted out of there. source

  • The Spanish Red Cross reports a 37-year old man died after his GPS guided him straight into a reservoir.  A passenger who survived said the out-of-date data on the navigation device took them straight down a road where a reservoir has been created.  By the time they saw the road end, it was too late.  The driver drowned.  source

Who has just  blindly followed their GPS to a place unknown???

How to spot a jerk from his online dating profile
This is from a reporter that used to set people up on blind dates and then interview them separately afterward.  After years of going through profiles, she became sort of an expert at finding buzzwords that indicate the guy is a dud.  

This guy screams:
  • "I'm Cheap" if he enjoys "long walks" and "cooking" and "camping."  

  • "I'm a Player" if every picture shows a group at a bar, or you can see the hair or fingers of a ladyfriend cropped out of the picture.

  • "I'm a Narcissist" if his pictures show his abs, torso or worse.  

  • "I'm Lying About My Age" if their screen name ends in a year that would logically make them up to ten years older than they claim they are.  They also reference music and TV shows you only barely know through Nick At Night.

  • "I'm Emotionally Unavailable" if he's never been married, has no kids, doesn't like pets, and changes jobs all the time.

CELEBRITY TWEETS



  • Is Justin Bieber the new Aston Kutcher?  Kutcher's MTV show "Punked" has been retired since 2007, but it's coming back, and the one doing the punking will be...yes...Justin Bieber.  Kutcher will still have his hands all over the show, but Bieber will be the punch line at the end of all the stunts.  source

  • Al Roker is training for the NYC Marathon on November 7th.  His wife, Deborah Roberts, told People.com that he "ran 20 miles this weekend."  Roker, as you know, has dropped 115 pounds since having gastric bypass surgery 8 years ago.  source

  • Rick Sanchez's wife says her hubby phoned John Stewart and apologized.  Sanchez was fired after ranting about Stewart on a radio show.  His wife says the exhaustion from working 14-hour days caused him to "mangle his thought process inartfully."  facebook page

  • John Mayer explains why he quit Twitter -- the lack of lasting art.  Here's what he posted on his blog:  
    "It occurred to me that since the invocation of Twitter, nobody who has participated in it has created any lasting art. And yes! Yours truly is included in that roundup as well."  
    He goes on to say that those who decide to remain offline "will make better work than those online."  Does he make a good point?  Oops, hold that thought...have to tend to my Farmville crops!  source

FUN STUFF

GOTTA SEE THIS

Did you catch Conan O'Brien's new promo for his late night show?  He's hot, sticky sweet.  


DID YOU KNOW

The cost of waiting:  "69% of American adults have waited for utilities, cable/satellite TV, Internet, retail home deliveries and other services in the past year. Of those that wait, they typically do so about four times per year, for an astonishing average wait of almost four and a half hours per appointment -- costing consumers about $752 in lost time annually."

WHO SAID IT?

 "I walked into that place and I never should have done that. That was my mistake, you know, and I'll never do it again. But you can't help what people are going to do, and you can't tell what people are going to do for money. That was the biggest thing I learned."

-Josh Duhamel admitting that he did walk into an Atlanta strip club last year, but did NOT have an affair with a stripper.  full article here

JOKE OF THE DAY

Late at night, a drunk was on his knees beneath a streetlight, evidently looking for something. A passerby, being a good Samaritan, offered to help.

"What is it you have lost?" he asked.

"My watch," replied the drunk: "It fell off when I tripped over the pavement."

The passerby joined in the search but after a quarter of an hour, there was still no sign of the watch.

"Where exactly did you trip?" asked the passerby.

"About half a block up the street," replied the drunk.

"Then why are you looking for your watch here if you lost it half a block up the street?"

"Because the light's a lot better here."

  • The Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion set a world distance record on a single tank of gas -- 1,527 miles.  They averaged just over 45 miles per hour and achieved 90 miles per gallon.  The driver also earned a record for world's toughest bladder. source

  • Actor Tony Curtis was buried Monday with his favorite possessions — a Stetson hat, an Armani scarf, driving gloves, an iPhone and a copy of his favorite novel, "Anthony Adverse" -- wait -- an iPhone?  Uh oh, it's going to be very uncomfortable when he finds out God owns a Droid... source

  • A 35-year old Lebanon, Missouri man was charged with possessing marijuana after his girlfriend called 911 to say she was sick and tired of him smoking pot all day instead of working.  Calling 911 because her man is lazy?  Don't give my wife any ideas! source

  • Bad:  Finding out your Hoover vacuum was responsible for starting a fire in your home.  Worse:  Finding out your Hoover vacuum has been under recall since 2005 for starting fires.  Oops.  source
