A 32 year-old man robbed a hotel in the western Finnish town of Turku, got drunk, passed out in a taxi and was picked up by police. Dumb with a capital D!!!

Platinum Hello Kitty Sells for $102,000. The 4.1 cm (1.6 in.) tall figurine, dressed in a queen's outfit and studded with 250 diamonds, was produced to celebrate the 30th birthday of the famous white cat with no mouth. Crazy witha a capital C!!!

LAPD Officer Wounded In South LA Gunfight. Police said they were trying to break up a loud party, possibly an illegal rave, when suspected gang members fired on them. Officers immediately returned fire killing one person. When you go to a party, leave your gun at home. If you only feel safe at a party with a weapon, you shouldn't be there in the first place. Use your head people.
