Evil Genius uses Craigslist to recruit henchmen/decoys

This story is absolutely fantastic! According to The Seattle Times, a guy posts an ad in Craigslist for constructions for a street repair job. The ad said they should show up in a blue shirt, reflective vest, and wear a dust mask. When they show up, they find that there's nothing wrong with the street. It turns out the location was in front of a bank, and the the guy that posted the ad also showed up wearing the same thing, proceeded to pepper spray some armored truck guards in front of the bank, then run off with a canvas bag full of money. Here's the best part, the robber runs off to a nearby creek where he made his getaway in an inner-tube!

A Date With Maria Sharapova for $10,000

Maria Sharapova put herself on a charity auction for a dinner date and came out only with $10,000! What!?!? She is worth way more than $10,000...especially if she is making $26 million a year. I blame this on the failing economy.

Travis Barker and DJ AM Critically Injuried In Plane Crash

Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injuried from a plane crash in South Carolina. Four people are reported dead, while the two suffer from extensive burns. The duo recently played as the house band at the MTV VMA and performed with The Ting Tings and Katy Perry. I hope that they will recover from this.

No More Tofu For Me

RE: Soy may water down little swimmers: sperm research

CBC - A study published in the July 24 issue of Human Reproduction finds that men who eat half a serving of soy per day - such as 115 g of tofu or 240 ml of soy milk - had lower concentrations of sperm than men who didn't eat soy.

Hm...I wonder if this includes soy sauce.

Real Life Luke and Leia

This was on the news yesterday. A married couple in London discovered that they were long lost twins that were separated at birth and adopted by different parents. They were probably thinking, wow, I finally found someone that is just like me....a bit too much alike. OHHH man, that's awkward...Imagine if they DID it? Haha, when I first read the article, the first thing that came to my mind was Luke and Leia. Awkward...
*Note: Wasn't there also a movie with Heather Graham called Say It Isn't So that is something along this line?
