It seems that thieves in Uganda have taken a novel new approach to their business. A gang of robbers have been using women with chloroform smeared on their chests to knock their victims unconscious. "They apply this chemical to their chest. We have found victims in an unconscious state. You find the person stripped totally naked and everything is taken from him, and the victim doesn't remember anything. He just remembers being in the act of romancing," Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) spokesman Fred Enanga said. Now that the thieves have this new boob technology they will be virtually unstoppable.

It isn't sporting to hunt the slow ones.

It's best not to hold the axe in plain sight when starting a cross-country murder spree.

MojoKid writes "The keyboard as we know it just got a makeover. What started initially as a gag apparently got so much positive feedback that the creators of the Keyboard for Blondes decided to turn it into a real product. The Keyboard for Blondes is a real keyboard. It has all the normal functionality you would expect from a traditional keyboard. It has 103 keys, is USB based, and works with both Windows PCs and Macs. As to why it is pink, the Keyboard for Blondes Website explains, 'Pink is the new black!' And being a blonde is not necessarily as prerequisite for owning one either, as the site further offers, 'this keyboard is for anyone who has ever had a blonde moment or ... two, has a good sense of humor and likes to have fun! Afterall [sic] being blonde is not just your hair color.'"

Four men are being questioned after they allegedly entered England illegally by hiding in a 32-foot-tall fake Christmas tree. "Following their arrest after being found in a lorry, four suspected illegal immigrants were apprehended and transferred to our specialist teams of officers," a Border Agency spokesman said. It sounds like someone mixed up "How not to be seen" with "How to recognize different trees from quite a long way away."

Steven Flaugher is facing a misdemeanor charge for negligent handling of burning materials after his stove caught some plastic on fire. Mr. Flaugher didn't try to put the fire out or call for help. Police say he had been drinking and was too busy watching porn. I'm shocked that the fire was caused by the stove and not friction.

gubachwa writes "The student association at Carleton University in Canada recently voted that Cystic Fibrosis was a charity unworthy of receiving money raised during orientation week fund-raising activities. The reason behind the decision, as given in the motion on which the student association voted, is that Cystic Fibrosis 'has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men.'" I'm speechless.

They even get breaks every other day.

It digs in the most horrifying way.

46-year-old Wu Yulu has only a basic school education but has managed to build himself 26 robots from scrap materials over the past 30 years. At first his creations were simple and could barely shuffle along by themselves. The robots got more complex as time passed, and eventually he built ones capable of climbing walls, serving water, lighting cigarettes, playing musical instruments and writing calligraphy. "When I was 11, one day I was sitting on the doorstep, and while watching villagers passing by I suddenly came up with the idea of building a machine that walks like a man," he told the Beijing Times.

nandemoari writes "Remember the 1991 film, 'The Rocketeer,' where a young pilot uses a jetpack prototype to become a masked vigilante and win the heart of Jennifer Connelly? That scenario isn't as far-fetched as it once was, given that an American stuntman recently used a jetpack to soar over Colorado's Royal Gorge. The stuntman in question is one Eric Scott, who recently appeared on CBS' Early Show and a variety of local cable channels after making his daring leap. Scott has been testing jetpack devices for 16 years, and was confident that he wouldn't plummet to his untimely death when he straddled the Gorge above the Arkansas River earlier this week. Despite an enormous gulf between the two sides — 1,500 feet across and 1,000 feet down — Scott made the trip safely."

He'll live out the rest of his days in Connecticut with his wife and 3 children.

A leading German job agency says that the country is running out of qualified Santa Clauses and needs to recruit and train them fast. There was no word on the state of their unqualified Santas or exactly what evil might befall the country should an acceptable Santa level not be met. Jens Wittenberger, in charge of Santa Claus recruitment at the Jobcafe Munich said, "You can't have your Santa drive up in a car. Every child knows that Santa travels in a sleigh pulled by reindeer so we don't want to disappoint anybody."

Dan Phillips, booking agent for the Platinum Lounge, says businesses in his town have a great new way of getting exposure: advertising on lap dancers. He says "I thought of it more as a cheeky bit of fun until we realized the potential that it was an interesting and unusual way for people to get their businesses noticed. Local firms can sponsor as many of the girls as they wish and we hope the novelty of the scheme will ensure their message will stick in the minds of those people visiting the club." The dancers will have the 15cm by 10cm ads stenciled to their bottoms. "Now guys lets give a big hand to our next lovely lady, Saffron, brought to you buy the good people at Frito-Lay."

This is not much different than the phone maze that you get when calling anywhere, just more honest.

An anonymous reader writes "BBC News and CNET Cutting Edge are reporting on a new play starring at Osaka University, in which two Mitsubishi Wakamaru robots interact with human actors and move around the stage. Named 'Hataraku Watashi' ('I, Worker'), the play is authored by Oriza Hirata, a renowned playwright. It focuses on a robot who complains about his boring and demeaning jobs."

In an attempt to make the entomologists in "The Silence of the Lambs" look like Cary Grant, a Japanese man released hundreds of beetle larvae inside a express train to try to scare female passengers. In his words, "I wanted to see women get scared and shake their legs." "He would go close to women on the train, any woman, and pour out the worms from containers," said a police spokesman. He had 10 containers in his backpack, estimated to contain a total of 3,600 worms.
