Mr McConaghy said they found Vogt on level 10 with a mop in his hand, attempting to soak up the ankle-deep water.

He admitted turning on the hydrants, he said. Mr Erikson said Vogt told him he "had to do it" because "they're out of jail and they're after me".

Vogt was sent outside, but firefighters heading upstairs then found the level-four hydrant open again and at level eight, Vogt was lying on the stairs, mop still in hand, and water washing over him.

Actually, you're gonna have to excuse me, but I need to log off for a couple of hours to help the guys unload the goodies...

 

A friend of a friend got back from a flight. Got the car from the airport paring lot. Driving home he noticed the car driving a bit odd but chalked it up to driving a rental car all week. Pulled in front of the house to unload family luggage. Made a couple of trips to the car. On the second or third trip it hit him. It wasn't his wheeels on thar car. Not even the tires. At least the thieves were kind enough to swap out wheels with inflated tires.

They could have knocked the car off of the stands and taken the stands. That is a small fortune in stands but I will assume they stole those too.

“To the targeted person, it is as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky,” according to the WSJ. Some officials referred to the weapon as "the flying Ginsu," because the blades can cut through concrete, sheet metal, and other materials surrounding a target.

Australia's central bank is taking "responsibilty" – or rather, responsibility – for a microscopic typo on 46 million bank notes.

 

Should be in the 'Florida' thread too.
