Family finds intoxicated stranger in their bathroom
March 13th, 2009 @ 12:10pm

SALT LAKE CITY -- A family awoke just after midnight Friday morning to find a stranger in their bathroom.

Police say the man walked into a house near 25th South and Lincoln Street shortly after midnight Friday. When the homeowner confronted him, the suspect said he'd been at a party, and must have walked into the wrong house.

Lt. James Tracy of the Salt Lake City Police Department said, "The gentleman asked the man what he was doing in his house, and the guy, or the suspect, said basically he was at a party and walked into the wrong house."

Police say the homeowner tried to hold the man until officers arrived, but he got away and ran through the neighborhood.

Brad Wright, 21, was arrested after a short chase through parts of the Forest Dale Golf Course. A police dog tracked him and found him hiding in a nearby garage.

Wright was booked into jail for trespassing, public intoxication and fleeing.

Police say people might be surprised how often they respond to intoxicated subjects who've walked into the wrong house. The homeowner, though, thinks something else may have been afoot. Later that morning, he found evidence that somebody had tried to break into his van.

Man, that guy needs some friends! They are supposed to help you not walk into the wrong house!

Maybe he has friends like people from the RS and they helped him into the wrong house.

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Playboy sex empire founder Hugh Hefner has put his family home for sale in California for nearly 28 million dollars, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

A cool 27,995,000 dollars could get you living right next door to the Playboy Mansion, known for the sex king's extravagant parties.

The two-story, 7,300-square-foot (700 square meters) English manor-style personal residence was built in 1929 and purchased by Hefner in 1998.

It has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a library and commons for staff. Some of the walls are hand-painted, and there is a hand-carved staircase.

The home sits on 2.3 acres (one hectare), borders the Los Angeles Country Club and has a pool.

Hefner, who turns 83 next month, owns the house with his second wife, Kimberley, who was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1989. The couple is separated but has two sons, who are soon to head to college.

Hefner has lived at the neighboring Playboy Mansion with three young women for the past several years.

Can Marijuana Help Rescue California's Economy?
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1884956,00.html?iid=digg_share

Just a snipet of the article.

Could marijuana be the answer to the economic misery facing California? Democratic state assemblyman Tom Ammiano thinks so. Ammiano introduced legislation last month that would legalize pot and allow the state to regulate and tax its sale — a move that could mean billions of dollars for the cash-strapped state. Pot is, after all, California's biggest cash crop, responsible for $14 billion a year in sales, dwarfing the state's second largest agricultural commodity — milk and cream — which brings in $7.3 billion a year, according to the most recent USDA statistics. The state's tax collectors estimate the bill would bring in about $1.3 billion a year in much needed revenue, offsetting some of the billions of dollars in service cuts and spending reductions outlined in the recently approved state budget.

Scientists Invent Floatiest Material On Earth
http://i.gizmodo.com/5169188/scientists-invent-floatiest-material-on-earth

Bugs that skate on water can do it because their feet are "superhydrophobic." Chinese scientists applied a similar coating to a tiny copper mesh boat, and suddenly it could hold three times the weight.

It's actually crazy: The superhydrophobic coating—what the scientists are casually calling "the cooperative effect of hierarchical micro/nanostructures and a low-surface-energy wax coating"—creates a cushion of air around the boat (or the bug's leg), putting an invisible bubble between it and the water. The boat is literally floating on air, while the water tries to touch it but can't. What's creepy is that the coated boats sink immediately when immersed in organic liquids like ethanol and acetone.

Now that these scientists discovered ways to make super-buoyant objects, what can be done? They predict a new era of "novel superfloating and drag-reducing aquatic devices," by which they mean, either cybernetic death from the sea, or the biggest, sleekest, craziest yacht you'll ever only see pictures of because you won't even know people who know people who will be able to afford it.

Teen hands out thousands of dollars after finding drug money
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-090312-teen-hands-out-drug-money,0,2171083.story


MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minnesota teen got to play high roller for a day after finding a plastic bag containing $18,000 in a highway ditch, and he gave away thousands of dollars to classmates on Tuesday before authorities got involved.

Dakota County officials are releasing few details about the source of the money, but they have a pretty compelling clue: When the student, a 16-year-old from Rosemount, Minn., led them back to the spot where he found the money, they discovered 4 pounds of marijuana and some scales.

"This is tied in to drugs, obviously," said Sgt. Joe Leku of the Dakota County Drug Task Force. He would not disclose other details of the case, saying it could jeopardize the investigation.

Investigators learned that a student had been handing out $100 bills when a school bus company reported it to a school resource officer on Tuesday, said Chief Dakota County Deputy David Bellows. The boy had given out thousands of dollars before deputies started going back and collecting the money. They recovered almost all of it, Bellows said.



When the boy first told them he'd found the money in a ditch, investigators were skeptical.

"Having dealt with kids, you get a lot of stories," Bellows said. "Finding it in the ditch is a great story, but it's one that clearly seems to be taken off the top of their head."

But when they checked out the ditch, near Pilot Knob Road and 195th Street in Farmington, Minn., they found the drugs. Bellows said the Sheriff's Office believes somebody threw the drugs and money out of a car window because they thought they were being tailed by police.

The boy apparently found the money while walking on a bike path on the way to school, Bellows said.

"Police everywhere, take note that even the most far-fetched excuses sometimes become true," Bellows said.

The boy attends the Alliance Education Center, a Rosemount special education school that's part of Intermediate School District 197, which provides special education and vocational training to students in eight south-metro districts.

If I found $18,000 I wouldn't be flashing it around.
