That is a great story. Rick Reilly's article is the best write-up of it: [URL="http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8579599/chy-johnson-boys"][COLOR=#810081]http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8579599/chy-johnson-boys[/COLOR][/URL]

Props to all the guys who participated, sad that these kinds of stories are so rare. High school can be tough.

[B]Man arrested for DUI twice in one night at the same time[/B]

8 hrs ago
It’s quite a feat to be arrested twice in one night for DUI. It’s All-Star levels of stupidity (and time travel!) to be busted on two separate occasions at the same time. Early on the morning of Nov. 4, police in Urbana, Ohio, helped 22-year-old Niles Gammons achieve the remarkable achievement. Gammons was pulled over at 1:08 a.m., failed a breathalyzer, was arrested, cited and released within an hour. At which point, clocks were turned back when Daylight Saving Time ended. Gammons was then pulled over -- by the same officer -- in a parking lot at...1:08 a.m. [Source]


I always thought they kept you over night to sober up before alowing you to make bail.

Church......

MUSKOGEE COUNTY, Oklahoma -- A 17-year-old convicted of manslaughter will have to serve 10 years of church.

The sentence was given by an Oklahoma judge and is sparking controversy throughout the nation.

Last year Tyler Alred crashed his car into a tree, killing his friend. At the time Alred had a blood alcohol level of .07. He pleaded guilty, and the judge sentenced him to church.[/I]

Possibly worse than prison.

Saying he sold them is speculation. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. Just because he's barefoot again, doesn't mean he sold them. The only person who honestly knows that is the homeless guy.

yeah. i mean the stupidity level is at a all time high there, because the dress up/mustache is like "ok i see whats going on, not cool" but then to push the envelope by making blantant racist signs to further it...? Im sorry, that sorority should be kicked off campus and lose all support from the university etc etc...Really no defense of that.

[I]A town in Indonesia is banning women from straddling motorcycles, saying it is improper and against Islam.

Women in the town of Lhokseumawe will be told from Monday they cannot straddle a motorcycle or scooter, especially when sitting behind a man, and instead must ride side-saddle.

The mayor of the town, which is under strict Islamic sharia law, says the regulation is to protect women's morals.

"[It] is to maintain women's dignity and good image," said Suaidi Yahya.

[/I]But not their safety?[I]

But the move has drawn criticism from the country's biggest Islamic body, the Ulema Council, which say [U]the Koran does not mention how to ride motorcycles.[/U][/I]
