WOULD BE ROBBER LEAVES HIS ID BEHIND another dim-wit:scream:
Warren, Mich.--A would be bank robber came away empty-handed but left behind something useful for the police..her photo identification. The woman was arrested less than an hour later on a charge of attempted armed robbery, said Police Commissioner William Dwyer. The woman filled out an account application on Thursday morning, then pulled out a handgun and demanded cash. Dwyer said. She panicked and fled without getting any money. Police found an address on the account application, along with her photo ID. The address was for an apartment near the bank. Police later arrested her without incident. "We're probably not dealing with the smartest person in the world" Dwyer said "Ya' think"?:cardie:

Apr 21, 1:24 PM (ET)
SIDNEY, Ohio (AP) - Another round and amen! Beer was on tap and a mechanical bull inspired the sermon as a new church held its inaugural service in a western Ohio bar.

The barroom church is an offshoot of Sidney United First Methodist Church, whose head pastor says he's been looking for creative ways to reach people in unconventional places.
The church's Web site for its new branch advertises "Top regional bands, pizza, wings, rowdy fun & a short message."

Apr 21, 12:56 PM (ET)
NEW YORK (AP) - A time-lapse video of a man trapped in an elevator for 41 hours has become something of an Internet sensation after surveillance camera footage emerged after nearly a decade.
"After a certain period of time I knew that I was in pretty big trouble because it was the weekend," Nicholas White said Monday on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America."
Video of his Oct. 15, 1999, ordeal in an elevator in New York's McGraw-Hill building was posted online to accompany an article in the April 21 edition of The New Yorker. It can be seen on the magazine's Web site and had been viewed more than 280,000 times on YouTube by Monday morning.

BOY HOSPITALIZED AFTER WIND BLOWS HIS STROLLER INTO THE LAKE
Chicago..A gust of wind blew a 2-yrear old in a stroller into Lake Michigan, where the boy remained submerged for at least 15 minutes before being pulled out unconscious, but alive. The childs grandfather, who had been pushing the stroller on the lakeside Friday after noon, jumped into the harbor to try and save the boy, said Chicago Fire Dept. Witnesses said the frantic grampa struggled in the frigid water, just off a 70-foot pier, pointing a few feet away shouting "Child! Child!" "He was just moaning in the water, crying" said John Derschied, who called 911. Winds at the time were about 20 mph, with gusts of about 30 mph, a meterologist sad. The boy was in critical condition at the Childrens Memorial Hospital, authorities said Friday night. A hospital spokesman declined to comment. The grandfather, who appeared to be in his 60's was in fair condition Saturday afternoon at St. Joseph Hospital, where he was being treated for exposure. The toddler was strapped in the 3-wheeled jogging stroller about 10 feet below the surface of the 42-degree water before rescue divers pulled him out. Derschied said the scene "is going to stick with him for the rest of his life" ya' think?:vulcan:
