To attract people to their parties, a couple of college kids humorously claimed on their MySpace website that they held "the biggest parties in the country," and they claimed  "over a billion served!"

Who could possibly be stupid enough to believe they were telling a truth?

If you answered the Oklahoma Tax Commission, come on down and collect your cookie.  They slapped them with a $320K tax bill!  

"The goal was to meet college women and hopefully make enough money to pay their personal bar tabs."

"We don't have enough money between us to pay $6,000 to hire an attorney. They won't listen to us.”

Now you know what happens when people who would fall for a Nigerian scam email get tax jobs with the government.  May they never visit your web site.

But to be safe ...

Man, I am so poor that when my kid broke his arm, I had to take him to the airport for x-rays.

Barry George, who served 8 years for the murder of  TV actress, Jill Dando, and who has other convictions for attempted rape, indecent assault, and stalking hundreds of women, was never-the-less placed by a council into the same building as that which is housing battered wives, as part of  a Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangement meant for supervising violent and serious sex offenders.

"It is mainly full of single mums on the waiting list for a council home. They want to be somewhere they feel safe ...”

A Women's Aid spokesperson called it "absolutely appalling,"  and went on to say, "These women should be put first and that does not seem to be happening."

The council has relocated him due to complaints but also because they were concerned with George's safety.

George was ultimately acquitted of the murder when the court found inconsistencies in the prosecution's case although he was recorded admitting to the murder whilst in jail.

The East Staffordshire Borough Council, which may be the stupidest local government in England, will be levying a £100 ($183) fine to people who do not take their trash bins off the street within 24 hours after being emptied or who put the bins out before the evening prior.  And if the fine isn't paid in just 14 days, the fine immediately goes up to an unbelievable £5,000 ($9,150) !!  The council says this is necessary because somebody might bump into the bin and hurt themselves.

People in East Staffordshire have now learned that their household garbage must be more respected than their local government.
