Initech's JournalLegislatures Make Push To Put A National Park On The Moon
The bill from Reps. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) would create the Apollo Lunar Landing Sites National Historical Park. The park would be comprised of all artifacts left on the surface of the moon from the Apollo 11 through 17 missions.
The bill says these sites need to be protected because of the anticipated increase in commercial moon landings in the future.
"As commercial enterprises and foreign nations acquire the ability to land on the Moon, it is necessary to protect the Apollo lunar landing sites for posterity," according to the text of the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, H.R. 2617.

Dumb Criminals: Police Discover Burglar Asleep On Victim's Couch

19 Foot Python Falls Through Ceiling Of Australian Thrift Shop
The massive snake weighing in at 17 kilograms (37 pounds) was captured a day after a suspected burglary was reported at a charity store in Queensland in northeastern Australia.
"Its head was the size of a small dog," Police Sgt. Don Auld said Wednesday.
Before they found the python, investigators' working theory was that a human burglar with an appetite for destruction – and a serious illness – had gone on a rampage inside the St. Vincent de Paul store in the small town of Ingham.
"We thought a person had fallen through the ceiling because the roof panel was cut in half," Auld said. "When they've hit the floor, they've vomited and then staggered and fallen over. That's what we thought anyway."

Italian Homeless Man Under House Arrest
The central character of this twisted tale is 48-year-old Domenico Codispoti, with a spotty police record that includes attempted robbery, petty theft and drug dealing on the streets of Milan. And in 2006, came the remarkable sentence: two years under special surveillance and house arrest, to be served along the sidewalks of via Pisani, a few steps from the Central Station.
Every evening, at 9 p.m. sharp, Codispoti arranges his blankets and his sleeping bag in front of the door of the number 22 via Pisani, under deserted arches. He is not allowed to move until 7 a.m. the next morning. After sunset, like clockwork, a patrol comes to check he is at "home."
“I have always done my stealing at night," he notes, lighting a cigarette. "That’s why the court gave me this sentence. Since I don’t have a house, there was no other solution left: during the night I can’t move, I have to stay here, stuck on this sidewalk.”
He will remain here until April 13, 2014. Over the past seven years, in fact, Codispoti has been arrested several other times. He served time in jail, after which he was sent back to serve his “sidewalk time.”

Former German Prime Minister Found To Be Hoarding 38,000 Cigarettes
But it would seem even he is not above EU law, as central parliament in Brussels is considering banning his favourite vice – menthol cigarettes.
One step ahead, Schmidt has apparently stashed 200 cartons of his preferred brand, Reyno, in his house, the Hamburger Morgenpost revealed. This means that he has enough to keep him on a packet a day until he turns 100.
Responsible for outing his secret is Chancellor candidate Peer Steinbrück of Schmidt's old party the Social Democrats.

Dumb Criminals: Neighborhood Crooks Distracted By Skinny Dipping Neighbor During Daytime Robbery
The incident took place last Saturday on Canterbury Lane around 3 p.m. at the home of a 54-year-old man who told police that a couple who live nearby approached his home when the woman suddenly told her husband to go back and retrieve her cigarettes, according to Ptl. Camden Davis' report.
The woman then approached the victim and asked him about his pool, and if she could take a swim. He told the woman it would be OK and led her to the rear of his house where the pool is located.

Justin Beiber Pees Into Mop Bucket Of Celebrity Restaurant, Mocks Bill Clinton
Earlier today (July 10), a video showing Bieber urinating into a mop bucket in a restaurant kitchen leaked online (no pun intended). In the video, Bieber is seen and heard laughing throughout the entire ordeal.
“We swagger man, you know. This is just a little walk to piss,” he says while peeing into the mop bucket.
Meanwhile, his friends egg him on. “That’s the coolest spot to piss,” his friend says. “You know, you’ll forever remember that. You’re not gonna remember him pissin’ in the restroom. Like everybody does that.”

3 Year Old Toddler Buys Car On eBay Using Dad's Phone
A Portland man's daughter surprised her old man by buying him a car on eBay. Making the gift even more shocking is the fact that little Sorella Stoute is just a year old.
Paul Stoute said he got a notice from eBay congratulating him on his purchase. He was the proud owner of a 1962 Austin-Healey Sprite. Total cost: $225.
Only, he didn't buy it. After verifying the purchase, he realized that his young daughter, who really enjoys playing with daddy's smartphone, had logged into the eBay app which can be used to instantly make a purchase.
"Tap, tap, tap and now I own a car," Paul Stoute said.

British Beer Festival Ends Early Because - Wait For It - They Ran Out of Beer
But the three-day festival proved so popular that on Saturday evening all the beer was gone, including the reserve stocks in the clubhouse.
Paul Amundsen, festival organiser and clubhouse manager, told the Sunderland Echo: “We’re very sorry we couldn’t continue into Sunday, but there was no way we could replenish the stocks in that time.
“I wouldn’t mind but we had put 10 extra ales on this year and brought in 800 new glasses in preparation. We even had a new wine and Cava bar.

What we are witnessing is the implosion of the Republican Party.
There you have it, with Rush Limbaugh's spiel *AGAINST* Fox News, they have officially turned on each other.
What you will see as a result of this, the republican party will divide itself into five factions:
1. The Gun Party - This is the group that puts the second amendment above all else. They are the NRA, the people who show up to buy AK 47s in droves after a horrific shooting like Sandy Hook. These are the people that freak out of the mere mention that a democratic president like Obama will show up to "take their guns away". Ted Nugent and Wayne La Pierre are their leaders.
2. The Tea Party (AKA The Anti Nazi Party) - These are the people, that, as Bill Maher calls them, the people who have a rock hard erection for our nation's founders, yet they do not know a single iota of what they actually stood for, nor can any sort of reading comprehension make them really understand. They will tell you that Thomas Jefferson made no mention of the separation of church and state, and that it was actually a Nazi plot when he stated it very clearly in his letters. They also think anything they're against is an elaborate Nazi hoax. Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck lead this party.
3. The Fox News Party - These are the people who hang on the every word of the commentators on the Fox Opinion Channel. They put Ayn Rand anti-worker philosophies above their own. They lie, cheat, and steal their way to the top, and if you ask them any questions, they freak out and go back into their bubbles. They claim the rich can do no wrong, and constantly vote in favor of them against their own interests. Rand Paul is their leader.
4. The God Squad - The televangelists, mega church preachers, pro life anti-woman radicals, and the people who claim to put their version of "God" above all else - when they really don't. Moderate republicans will claim to distance themselves from these religious fudamentalists, but really - they will actually side with this party on issues of women's sexuality, among other things. Their leaders include Rick Warren, Pat Robertson, and Rick Perry.
5. The Limbaugh Separatists - Since Limbaugh has thrown his towel in the ring and unofficially declared war on Fox News, you can bet that he will be trying to distance himself way back from group #2 and group #3. Of course, his brain dead "ditto head" friends and supporters will be too busy lurking and trolling forums like this one to notice. He of course is their leader.
Be sure to stock lots of butter, the division is going to be fun to watch.
