Random News Rips

First off, IT'S SNOWING!!! I love snow =]
So anyway, whenever I'm really bored I like to rip on random peices of news. And right now I'm bored so, here we go.
This ones not really funny, but it's interesting to think about. Apperantly in 1983, the Eifel Tower's staircase was replaced with elevators probably so all the mega-obese Americans could experience the monument like everyone else who isn't really FAT. So they took fourteen scraps that remained of the staircase to museums and stuff all over the world and now one's being auctioned off at some hotel. Read more about this semi-interesting story here.
So if you could have one peice of a monument, what do you think it would be? If I could choose, I think I'd get something from the Pyrimads or something kinda ancient like that. Or maybe the boob peice of a statue of a hot naked lady. :P idk just something to think about.

So another news peice that's really funny is this. My summary is guy tried to rob a grocery store, got stuck in the vent, and they got him out with vegetable oil. Alirght, two things.
1. Are all criminals this dumb, or only some of them. Because if your smart, you work at a good job, unless your smart enough to pull off a heist and get away with it.
2. How embarrising would it be to get freed from a vent with vegetable oil? I mean talk about loosing your dignity. As a criminal, your supposed to be big and tough, but that all ends when you get lathered up with vegie oil by a cop. Even though he was released from jail I doubt he'll ever live down the jokes from family and friends. "Hey, what are you doing under the couch?" "I'm looking for something I lost. Can you help me find it?" "What, your dignity? I think you left that in the super market vent." XD
sucks for him.
Well, I'm off to write my AP essay.
I doubt it's spelled this way, but I don't take french... Oravour

hey colin. i always see these posts on myspace from you about this zombie bread thing and decided o check it out, but why zombie bread? You're strange. do you write for the school paper? if not you should because you would have an interesting collumn. i think you could have a future in newspaper writing. i also like your photography, you should put that in the paper too. i think i'd want a peice of that chineese army. i just want one. that'd be cool. i commented this one because i liked the part about the heist. i really want to do one. i tryed to pull one off on peter but it didnt turn out well. he never knew we were there but his brothers did so i had to shut them up. well peace out. and i cant beleave you update this like every day!
