2010 Darwin Awards

Yes, it's that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us. Here is the glorious winner: 1. When his 38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach , California would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked. And now, the honorable mentions: 2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved. 3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her. 4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting fromHarare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days. 5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit. 6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?] 7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly.. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape. 8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from." 9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti , Michigan at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast... The man, frustrated, walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER] 10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for.. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had. In the interest of bettering mankind, please share these with friends and family....unless of course one of these individuals by chance is a distant relative or long lost friend. In that case, be glad they are distant and hope they remain lost. *** Remember.... They walk among us!!! And they breed! And they Vote ***

Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe and Eric Bogosian Gone

Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe and Eric Bogosian are now all gone from USA's "Law & Order Criminal Intent" or LAO-CI, or are they? Only Bogosian's character was killed-off. It sounds like the producers want D'Onofrio but his contract was up and he wanted fewer episodes.

Julianne Nicholson, who was partnered with Chris Noth (Mr. Big in "Sex in the City"), left to have a baby. They were brought in to lighten the load for Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe who were there from the beginning. Rumors are D'Onofrio wanted "lighter roles" and less stress so Nicholson and Noth, then Jeff Goldblum were brought in to share the load. Saffron Burrows is the latest hot detective to team with the brilliant detectives.

Eric Bogosian was killed off under cover in part 1 or a 2 part season premiere. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio took his place. Last week, in part 2, D'Onofrio was fired by Erbe for ignoring orders to not solve the case. Kathryn Erbe was given a promotion for the task but she turned in her badge and left after doing the deed.

Saffron Burrows will now partner with Jeff Goldblum and seem to have weekly duties with two shows in a row.

USANETWORK still lists Erbe & D'Onofrio on the title page

• Detective Robert Goren - Vincent D'Onofrio
• Detective Alex Eames (Kathryn Erbe)

Another rumor has it that could return D'Onofrio which may explain why he and Erbe are still listed on the cast list. Someone claiming to be executive producer Walon Green said:

You can believe that I'm Walon Green or not but I'm am about to tell you something HERE - THAT NO ONE ELSE knows on other news informing websites or blogs!

Vincent D'Onofrio has a meeting with Dick Wolf pending for Wednesday May 26, 2010 at 2:30PM. Dick didn't give me any details but I think they will talk about renewing his contract. D'Onofrio fans, cross your fingers.

Plus Jeff Goldblum's episode "Broad Channel" has appealed to some, not all. I think that is was very good, some points should have been hit a little more when Capt. Ross was mentioned but other than that, it seemed like an everyday episode. We have more planned and we are currently mapping out episodes 9.14-9.16; we are thinking about going with a two-part finale that puts Nichols's job on the line, but I won't spoil until it's that time!

Stay tuned as we watch for clues and post them here about one of our favorite shows.

President Barack Obama Statue

Picture of breathless fans waiting with great anticipation of the unveiling of the new President Barack Hussein Obama statue.

That President Barack Obama Statue email came with this text:

SO FAR, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST EMAIL OF 2010!!!!!

Here is a real statue of president Obama as a boy growing up in Indonesia.

Indonesia Unveils Statue Of Obama As A Young Boy

Inscription on the Statue:


Text on the base of the Young Barack Obama statue:

A young boy named Barry (Soetoro) played with his mother, Ann In Nenteng area. He grew up to be the 44th president of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama.

From CNN Statue of young Obama unveiled in Indonesia

The U.S. president was born in Hawaii and lived in Indonesia for four years in the 1960s with his mother and Indonesian stepfather.

The young Obama, who once studied and played in this neighborhood, was known to many then as "Barry."

"We imagined Barry, and we thought the story would be inspirational to all Indonesian children that when you dream big, they can come true," said Ron Mullers, chairman of the nonprofit group Friends of Obama.

Mullers, a Hawaii native and long-time resident of Indonesia adds, "We thought wouldn't it be great to have a statue of him here as a child, not as president, but as a child, as an inspiration to the Indonesian people."

and USA Today reports:

Controversial Obama statue in Indonesia removed from park after protests
The decision to take down the 43-inch statue, which was erected in December, came after more than 57,000 people joined a Facebook page calling for it to be removed and replaced by a memorial to an Indonesian. It was removed Sunday night.

The Jakarta Globe reports Jakarta Obama Statue Taken Down

The two-metre bronze was removed from Menteng Park and taken to nearby Menteng One primary school, which Obama attended in the late 1960s, vice-principal Akhmad Solikhin told AFP

Note that President Barack Hussein Obama II went by "Barry Soetoro," the name of his stepfather, in his early years.

Vonn stripped of Olympic Gold Medal by Acorn

Vancouver News Report - Feb 23, 2010: The International Olympic Federation Committee stripped the gold metal from Lindsey Vonn this evening and awarded it to USA President Barack H. Obama on the basis that he is going downhill much faster than Vonn.

"The International Olympic Committee announced Monday that it has taken back the gold medal previously awared to American skier Lindsey Vonn and given to USA President Barack H. Obama.

Olympic officials said Obama deserved the medal more than Vonn because no one has ever gone downhill faster than he has."

We suspect Acorn was behind this action but we're still looking for conclusive evidence.
