up to either inexperience or plain stupidity," Clark County prosecutor
Frank Coumou told the Las Vegas Review-Journal for a Wednesday report.
The Las Vegas man was being held Wednesday at the Clark County jail
pending a Monday appearance in Clark County District Court. He faces
felony burglary and robbery with a weapon charges in the May 25 heist.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8317373/Snapple's attempt at a new Guinness world record has ended in a sticky
mess. The idea was to create a two-and-a-half-story, 20-ton ice pop in
New York City's Union Square yesterday. But the so-called "ice
