ALOHA, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon woman was looking for love in all the wrong places when she called 9-1-1 wanting a "cute" sheriff's deputy to return to her house.

Lorna Jeanne Dudash succeeded in getting a date - in court, that is.

After her neighbors reported a noise complaint, two Washington County sheriff's deputies knocked on Dudash's door.

When they left, Dudash dialed 9-1-1 in a desperate attempt to get the deputy she described to dispatchers as "a cutie pie" to return.

The dispatcher repeatedly asked why Dudash needed the deputy to return.

Dudash's response: "Honey, I'm just going to be honest with you, okay? I'm 45 years old and I'd just like to meet him again."

The deputy returned and arrested Dudash for misusing 9-1-1. She now faces a $6,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
This was posted in the Ridiculous Item of the Day thread. The full recording of the call should still be on www.entertainmenttonight.com

Boston Woman Slain at Same Spot As Brother

The Associated Press

Jul 24, 2006 11:42 AM (56 mins ago)

BOSTON - On the fourth anniversary of her brother's slaying, a woman lighting candles at a makeshift shrine to him was gunned down, killed at about the same spot, on the same day and at nearly the same hour as her older sibling.

Police said they don't know who shot her or why.

I can understand the same spot... but the same day and time (ish) freaky. Maybe it's the same person?

Now this is odd! I'm sure the parents of the 19 year old can feel some solace at knowing for sure now their 19 year old son is gone...

Missing Student's Body Found After 5 Years

07.26.2006, 08:39 AM

The body of a college student who vanished more than five years ago was found inside his pickup truck, which was pulled this week from a state park pond, authorities said.

The pickup was discovered in about 50 feet of water by emergency workers who were experimenting with new rescue equipment in the pond, Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn said late Tuesday.

Ryan Katcher's body still was inside the truck, Hartshorn said. Authorities planned an autopsy this week to determine how he died.

Nazi fountain
Maasmachelen is a small village in Belgium. More than 30 years ago, a fountain was built in front the mayor's building.
Thanks Google Earth, the fountain is to be removed. And I let you discover why !

Hi BF,

You got it right ! Belgium is the place where you discover soon that nations are purely artificial.

Oh, and it also says to me that DC is probably a total PITA to navigate.
