| HOWTO make superhero garden gnomes Posted: 09 Jul 2011 01:43 AM PDT  On Instructables, the Papier Boy shows us how he turned store-bought garden gnomes into Spidergnome, Batgnome and Rob-gnome: Evil lurks in the shadows of our backyards. Rogue snails. Radioactive skunks. My yard has a maniacal possum that will stop at nothing until he controls the entire area behind the compost pile. That's why every backyard needs a hero. One that can clean up the garden and make it safe for all law abiding neighborhood critters.

| Seattle cops forget semi-automatic rifle sitting on patrol-car's trunk Posted: 09 Jul 2011 01:33 AM PDT  A Seattle resident named Nick snapped the photo above in late June, passing it on to The Stranger, a weekly newspaper. It shows an empty police patrol car with an unattended semi-automatic rifle sitting on the trunk. A SPD spokesperson professes to being "very embarrassed" on behalf of the force. "The department is very embarrassed that this happened," says Seattle Police Department Sergeant Sean Whitcomb. "We're incredibly grateful to the person that flagged down the bike officers and the woman who followed the patrol car driver around to let them know there was a rifle on the back of the car."Crime / City The Seattle Police Department Is "Very Embarrassed" After Leaving Unattended Semi-Automatic Rifle on Trunk of Patrol Car (Thanks, Marilyn!)   |

| Extreme sarcasm activist with an "I Love Orlando Police" sign Posted: 09 Jul 2011 01:40 AM PDT An activist who believes in "extreme sarcasm" carried an "I LOVE OPD" sign to a rally protesting the arrest of Food Not Bombs members who fed homeless people without a license. When a TV crew came to ask him why he, alone, was standing up for the Orlando police, he deployed the "extreme sarcasm" to very good effect.
