Three senior citizens charged in attempted robbery
I can only hope that when I reach my twilight years, I am still out and about doing stuff.
I sincerely hope I am doing things such as traveling, shopping (because that is ALWAYS important), experiencing and learning new things everyday, casing a bank to rob and basically living my life out to its fullest…
Wait…What?!:
Chicago, April 10 (UPI) — Three senior citizens have been charged with casing a Chicago suburban bank for months to prepare for a robbery, officials say.
The three old men were still wearing dark burglary clothes when they stood before a federal judge Friday, The Chicago Tribune said.
The report said the trio were arrested Thursday as they neared a Bridgeport, Ill., residence of a deceased mob chief, which officials said they had allegedly targeted for home invasion. Officials also suspect them in the 2007 robbery of another bank.
Two of the suspects, Joseph “Jerry” Scalise, 73, of Clarendon Hills, Ill., and Arthur Rachel, 71, of Chicago were alleged Chicago mob figures. The Tribune said they were released from British prisons in 1993 after serving 13 years for the theft of the 45-carat Marlborough Diamond and other gems — worth $2.6 million in total — from a London jewelry store.
None of the gems were recovered.
Scalise was a technical adviser on “Public Enemies,” the movie about John Dillinger filmed in Chicago in 2008.
A criminal complaint filed Friday said Scalise, Rachel and Robert “Bobby” Pullia, 69, of Plainfield, Ill., were suspects in the 2007 holdup and were under investigation by the FBI when surveillance agents spotted them casing the First National Bank in La Grange, particularly on Thursdays when an armored car would make a visit.
Online Computer Tests Proves Stupidity
As some tests prove, some people are just stupid.
No seriously, that was the finding :
Computer expert put an advertisement on the Internet offering a free computer virus for everyone willing to have one.
Didier Stevens from Helsinki ran his advertising campaign on Google’s Adword for half of the year. As a result of his campaign 409 people clicked on the ad, that said: “Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!”
There are several suggestion on people’s willingness to download malicious virus said Mikko Hypponen, who conducted the research at data security firm F-Secure. First of all, people must have mistakenly pushed the button, second – curiosity sometimes overcomes natural prudence and thirdly, some people must have been stupid.
And just so you know, I took out the link in this article to the virus…
You know, just in case.
Scientists are detached? You don’t say?
Scientists are such amazing, um, different individuals. They look at things in ways that come across as so very detached, and in ways most of us could never comprehend. Take this for example, when one famous scientist, J.B.S Haldane, discusses in his famous paper “On Being The Right Size“:
“You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away, provided that the ground is fairly soft. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes.”
Makes you kinda wonder how many horse were dropped down the mine shaft before it was deduced that horses “splash”?
*shiver*
Nevertheless, the whole article is definitely worth a read. Science is just MAD fun!
Well, minus the horse ‘splashing’ parts.
What an extraordinary beast?!
Check this guy out. Very otherworldly, very old and oh so very beautiful.
Who knows what other interesting finds lives at the bottom of the ocean, just waiting to be discovered?
I for one, can’t wait to find out!
Dirt biker nose dive. Ouch.
Oh…
This cannot end well.
On a brighter note, I bet you will be having a better day than the way this guys turned out.
Which is just badly. Very, very badly.
Autonomous vehicles are coming!
So much technology is seemingly exploding out all at once.
What will the world be like in fifty years?
Heck, forget fifty…
How about ten?!
Autonomous vehicles, that is SELF driving vehicles are much closer to being a reality than you think. Watch this video. Watch what they can do, and be amazed…
…and maybe just a tiny bit afraid.
Truck and Plane Collide. Who’s to blame?
A wingtip fuel tank of a vintage Gulfstream business jet slammed through the windshield of a fuel tanker truck at Boeing Field (BFI) in Seattle on Thursday evening, pinning the driver inside for over an hour and spilling a substantial amount of jet fuel onto the tarmac. Thankfully, the driver was conscious and alert when he was finally removed.
According to FAA records, the 1977 Gulfstream G-IITT, registration N706TJ, belongs to JetStar Air, a Beverly Hills-based charter operator. It is unclear whether the truck driver or the pilots of the aircraft were at fault.
You know, I understand I do not know all the facts of this situation, but nevertheless I think I am going to have to with the truck driver being at fault, if I had to take a guess…Because HOW DO YOU NOT SEE A BIG PLANE COMING TOWARDS YOU!
*clears throat*
Just sayin’
*add eye roll*
Bulletproof Wife-beaters!
Nifty.
Mark this down as a science win!
A Hanes Beefy that can deflect bullets may sound like the stuff of comic books, but scientists have developed a way of bulking up an ordinary T-shirt to create wearable armor. By splicing the carbon in the cotton with boron, the third hardest material on the planet, researchers at the University of South Carolina markedly increased the fabric’s toughness. The result is a lightweight shirt reinforced with boron carbide—the same material used to shield military tanks.
A bulletproof wife-beater…
“Cool.”
Wait…What?
Lets try this again, shall we…
“Bulletproof T-Shirts–Excellent!”
Hmmm. Better. *nods*
With this awesome new technology, soon bullets/guns will become obsolete. And that’s not a bad thing.
But it does makes you wonder what the next new technology for man to use against man, will be?

Big Bird Eats Bunny
I guess since it’s officially another day, I can post this and not feel bad about going against my only ‘good feeling’ things that I had planned on posting today.
I just want to say…
See.
See what you make me do when you doubt me?
You make me show you things…
BAD things.
*sighs*
Poor bunny.
