Endeavour+nears+science+center.jpg


Thousands of people gathered on L.A. streets and sidewalks to watch the space shuttle Endeavour make its way from Los Angeles International Airport to the California Science Center in Exposition Park near downtown.

Borrowed Professor's comment from HERE. (No reflection on you, Professor.)

Did you know they were gonna chop down 400 mature trees in a 12 mile stretch to move that stupid Shuttle to the Science Center? Oh wait, they reduced it to chopping only 395 trees! Oh wait again, someone must have objected, because they finally approved chopping down 393 trees in L.A. and Inglewood! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! And people wonder why there's so much SMOG in LA!

Yes, they do VERY STUPID THINGS in California! Not all of us, because I'm from Cali, but the state and local governments certainly do. That's why there is presently and for the past 2 years a MASS EXODUS! Everyone is leaving California (for Texas, Arizona, and other states), because California has been ruined, and they continue to do so.

All those trees gone, and so much smog! STUPID!!! o_0

Police: Costumed Pennsylvania girl mistaken for skunk, shot

FREEDOM, Pa. (AP) — Police say a costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a western Pennsylvania home during a Halloween party by a relative who thought she was a skunk.

New Sewickley Township police say the girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume and a black hat with a white tassel. Chief Ronald Leindecker says a male relative mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder Saturday night.

Leindecker tells the Beaver County Times that the girl was alert and talking when she was flown to a hospital in Pittsburgh, about 30 miles away. Her condition was unavailable.

Leindecker says the man hadn't been drinking and he doesn't know whether charges will be filed.

Cafe owner installed one-way mirror in Men's Restroom to allow peeks into Women's Restroom

VIENNA (AP) — An Austrian artist has installed a one-way mirror in a Vienna cafe that allows men to peek from their restroom into the ladies room.

Alexander Riegler told the daily Heute newspaper Monday that the mirror is an attempt to "stir people into a discussion of voyeurism and surveillance," in an era when almost everyone is being watched.

Cafe employee Alexander Khael-Khaelsberg says the mirror only shows women at the sink and does not offend anyone's private sphere. He told the daily Heute newspaper Monday that women will get their turn in January, when the mirror is reversed to let them look at men's faces while they stand at the urinal.

The restaurant recently put up a sign advising women that they are part of an "art project" after complaints.

Alleged Peeper Caught on Camera by Unwittingly Filming Himself

Police say a Maryland man trying to film two female roommates with hidden cameras instead filmed himself and unwittingly helped authorities catch him in the alleged act of peeping.

Michael Stephen McKenny, 42, was arrested Thursday after Maryland police released footage of the alleged Peeping Tom setting up his cameras, which the women found.

"What we found is that the camera had been set up in June and operated through a motion detector," said Sherry Llewellyn, a spokeswoman for the Howard County Police Department.

In court documents, police say that for more than four months McKenny captured images of the unnamed women in their bathrooms and bedrooms, in all stages of undress, even using the toilet. Authorities say McKenny was brazen in his actions, entering the Ellicott City condo multiple times during the day to reposition his leering lenses. He even appears at one point to wipe away his own footprints.

"He knew these young women and he stole their keys, copied them and returned them before they had an opportunity to notice," Llewellyn said. "This isn't the first time this has happened here. People are able to do these kinds of things very surreptitiously."

Indeed, this is just the latest of similar incidents across the country.

Roommates in Tampa, Fla., demanded answers after they found an elaborate camera system in their apartment last year.

"I just want to know what he had planned with our videos, I want to know the whole story because now I don't know," alleged peeping victim Ralitsa Dzhambazova said.

Prosecutors in Tampa later dropped the case, saying the cameras were never turned on.

In Ohio, police say a man made his intentions clear when he allegedly put his cellphone under a dressing room door. Nancy Yingling, the alleged victim, was none too pleased.

"I pushed him and punched him in the face so he went down," Yingling said.

That man was charged with voyeurism, but has not been convicted of a crime.

As for McKenny, he has not yet entered a plea but could face up to 40 years in prison.

Ever had one of those embarrassing, trip-down-the-stairs moments that make you stand up and look around to make sure no one was watching?

A French journalist had a moment like that recently except he wasn't so lucky. He drove a motorcycle off a pier in Saint Martin de Re, landing inside a boat moored at the dock, all while his own cameraman took video.

And then, being the good spirit he is, he posted on YouTube for all of us to see. It appears the hardcover saddlebags on the back of the 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300A he was showing off struck a metal post in the ground, throwing off his balance. The bike landed on the dock, and the journalist landed in the boat.

Next time he's driving near the water, he might want to wear a life jacket. Thanks to Jalopnik for the link.

Stuuuupid!!!

18th-century French Chateau Bulldozed 'by Mistake'!

PARIS (AP) — Residents of a sleepy French village in Bordeaux have been left dumbfounded after discovering their local 18th-century chateau was completely bulldozed "by mistake."

The mayor's office in Yvrac said Wednesday that workers who were hired to renovate the grand 13,000-square-meter (140,000-square-foot) manor and raze a small building on the same estate in southwest France mixed them up.

"The Chateau de Bellevue was Yvrac's pride and joy," said former owner Juliette Marmie. "The whole village is in shock. How can this construction firm make such a mistake?"

Local media reported that the construction company misunderstood the renovation plans of the current owner, Russian businessman Dmitry Stroskin, to clean up the manor and restore it to its former baroque glory.

Stroskin was away when the calamity occurred and returned home to discover his chateau, a local treasure boasting a grand hall that could host some 200 people, as well as a sweeping stone staircase — was nothing but rubble.

"I'm in shock ...I understand the turmoil of the community," local media quoted Stroskin as saying.
He told them he plans to build an exact replica of lost manor on the site.

What a stupid disaster to a treasure from the past. This takes the award for being in the top five most stupid...almost as stupid as Obama being elected again!
