Philippine health officials are sending out a message to its citizens; crucifixion can be bad for your health.

Every Good Friday there are dozens of men that reenact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by being nailed to a wooden crosses with six inch nails.  The Philippine Government is warning that the nails used for crucifixion should be cleaned and sterilised.  Also, citizens are urged to get a tetanus shot prior to participating in this ceremony.

Some citizens that take part in such ceremonies also use a whip to lash their backs before being nailed to the cross.  The Government has also warned that the condition of the whip should be checked before the lashings.  A dirty whip could cause infection, Government officials noted.

An Elyria Ohio woman, Victoria Landis,  believes the bag of frozen fish sticks she bought was a sign from above.

“I went to cook them one day and I poured them out into the pan and there were three kind of fused together in a way that made three mini crosses, and the way they fell on the pan it looked just like the hill where Jesus was crucified,” she said.

Victoria Landis did not have the heart to cook the fish sticks, so she placed them back into the bag and put them into the freezer.  Even though this woman did not have the heart to bake the fish sticks, she has found enough courage to auction them off on eBay.

Lambertville Michigan Police had received complaints that homes in an area under construction were being targeted by an arsonist.  A Monroe County Sheriff police detective and other police officers then conducted a stakeout in an effort to catch this criminal.

Several officers on the stakeout, positioned around the homes, noticed a teen leaving his Lambertville home with a bucket.  The teen then approached an unmarked Police cruiser and unscrewed the gas cap.  He then began to siphon gasoline from the Police car.

The teen apparently did not know that there was a person in the car.  That person was Detective Thomas Redmond, who then jumped out of the car and chased the teen.

A Washington bank robber created a bit of excitement for bank employees and multiple police departments.

The bank robbery at the 5306 Pacific Highway Key Bank did not involve a weapon.  An alert co-worker noticed the robbery taking place and watched the robber leave to enter his 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado and onto southbound I-5.  Fife police officers arrived at the bank, got a description, and notified area law enforcement agencies.

A Tacoma police officer located the vehicle and tailed him.  The officer noted that the 1973 Toronado stuck out like a sore thumb.  The suspect got off I-5, hit a couple of cars, and then got back onto I-5 southbound.  The suspect eventually got back off the highway, hit a telephone poll, then took off on foot.

At San Francisco International Airport, a man in a wheelchair reportedly carjacked a hotel van with 5 passengers inside.  He took the van and passengers on a short joyride and abandoned the vehicle.

According to reports, the van driver had exited the vehicle to help passengers with their luggage.  At that time, a man came rolling across the street in a wheelchair, hopped out of the wheelchair, and took possession of the vehicle.

The carjacker made a few passes around the airport’s upper terminal.  Five passengers were along for the ride as well.  These passengers were employees of various Airlines.

Taxpayers know all too well that their tax dollars get wasted in a variety of ways.  But using taxpayer owned equipment to advertise a strip club has to be a first.

A temporary electronic PennDOT sign was apparently tampered with and was programmed to visually display “Live Nudes Exit 45.”  The sign sat on I-78 and exit 45 is for Route 863 in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

A motorist headed to work saw the sign in the eastbound shoulder.  He indicated it took him a minute or two to comprehend what he had just seen.  At that point he called a friend, and his friend urged him to double-back and get a picture of the road sign.  That’s exactly what he did.

An 11 year old boy, out canvasing the neighborhood for a school fundraiser, crossed paths with a goofy Disney Security guard in Groveland, Florida.

The young boy had rang the doorbell of John Briegel, age 43, and got the shock of his life.  John Briegel allegedly answered the door nude, yelled at the boy, and punched the boy in the side of the head.

The boy’s mother was able to flag down a Groveland Police officer and she told the officer what had just happened.  The man admitted he answered the door nude and yelled at the boy.  But this Goofy Disney Security Guard claimed the door shielded his nude body and that he never struck the boy.  The man was charged with indecent exposure in public, battery, and child abuse.  He was released from jail on a $6,000 bond.

Jeremy Isbell and his wife returned home Thursday evening only to discover an errant dummy bomb had targeted their Tulsa apartment bathroom.  Besides losing electricity, the National Guard bomb had blown out the Isbell’s bathroom wall.

Apparently the 22 lb. BDU-33 practice bomb impacted the apartment complex at speeds of approximately 600 miles per hour.  Fortunately no injuries were reported.

It is unclear how the practice bomb released.  The National Guard  believe it somehow inadvertently released as the pilot headed from the Tulsa Air National Guard Base to Salina, Kansas.  Federal authorities are also interested in what happened and are investigating.

Further information about this story can be found here.  Additionally, an interview with Jeremy Isbell can be viewed in the video below.

Grandma may not be able to get around like she used to, but she sure can kick some butt.

83 year old Bernie Garcia was pumping fuel into her car when a young man approached asking for some money.  Grandma told the young man that she had spent all her money on fuel.  The man apparently was not satisfied with her answer, and he grabbed the purse.  But Grandma had a good hold of the purse and she began spraying the man with gasoline from the pump nozzle she was filling her car up with.  Both Grandma and the attacker fell to the ground, and the thief quickly got up and jumped into a car and fled without the purse.

With the United States economy getting worse, more people may be inclined to hide their life savings somewhere safe.  This story tells us that hiding your life savings in a haystack might not be such a good idea.

Apparently an Ethiopian farmer decided to hide his entire life savings ($12,000) in a haystack.  Apparently rats decided to eat 25% of his cash portfolio.

The farmer was repeatedly advised to deposit his money in the bank, but he shunned such suggestions.  In three weeks, the rats had eaten a sizeable sum of this farmers life savings.

Whether this man decided to start using banks is a mystery.  One thing we can assume though, is that he will not allow the rats to manage the remainder of his cash portfolio.
