I wonder if the whole "theme costume" idea has ever worked for robbers?

I mean, if the police get there late, sure they have a hard time when the witness says, "it was a freaking leprechaun!" and can't remember so much as an eye color.

But when the police get there within minutes, how hard is it to follow a leprechaun in a crowd? Then again, it was St. Patty's day... :)
 


Curious. I was actually more interested in the article below it "Kissing Cousins Denied Marriage Permit". I think that's a fallacy that first cousins' children have more birth defects. I don't think there is any scientific evidence to back that up. I believe that if first cousins have children, their kids are just as likely to have birth defects as any other people's children. I think the problem is when first cousins continue to marry over and over and over again throughout multiple generations. Then it's a problem.

Gah, ignorance. I hate it.

Yeah, we discussed this in a recent class. It is a fallacy. A more suitable reason for incest to be frowned upon has to do with sociological roles. If a father has a baby with his daughter, then the wife now has a new son, grandson, and cousin... or something like that. It can get confusing and since there are different social statuses associated with each family type, this becomes a source of other confusion.
 

In an article below that one:
A county budget crisis has left the bathrooms in a municipal office building uncleaned, with waste piling up in the toilets, empty soap dispensers, paperless towel holders and no toilet paper.
Sounds like evey public school I've attended. :\

And that increased likelyhood of birth defects in first-cousin marriages is indeed a fallacy. However, if you were to look at the many laws there are in this country based on pure ignorance....well...you'd find a lot of 'em.

If I ever enter a life of crime I'm totally going with the 'theme' idea, including baffling clues left for the police daring them, daring them, I say, to stop my reign of terror in Goth...um, never mind.

Probably not but, if he gets caught, it makes great fodder for the Bozo Criminal of the Day.

Gods, if you ever need something to make you feel better about yourself, just compare yourself to the sods in those stories! :D

I hope they fix the site soon, Mr. Moreland (apparently) just changed radio stations, and there's a problem with the past bozo log, as it suddenly skips almost a year. Oh well, the stories are pretty much timeless.
