Ideas flow through it,
Showing our thought,
Revealing our feelings,
So our minds can be bought.

This thing has done work,
For both sides of the war,
For good and for evil,
And maybe something more.

It's mightier than the sword,
So some people say,
Though it's not a weapon,
You might use it to slay.

The ink inside helps write down ourselves.
Old and new, ballpoint or fountain,
The pen's importance in thought,
Is stronger than a mountain.

PHOENIX -- A man and woman suspected of robbing a roadside stand of $40, a mango and an ear of corn have been arrested.


The pair made away with the loot after pointing a gun at the person running the stand on Sunday in the town of Guadalupe east of Phoenix, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene and found a man and a woman inside a car matching the description provided by the alleged victim.

They arrested the man, who deputies believe is the gunman, after he ran from the vehicle. The woman, who was seen running from the car, was found hiding in a nearby yard a short time later.

Their names were not released.

Two men robbed a Domino's delivery man of three large pizzas, two bottles of Sprite, 20 chicken wings, and 20 chicken "kickers" -- but took none of his money. Perhaps we should introduce them to our other hungry criminals from this week: Domino's men, meet beer, potato chips and beef jerkey thieves.

Bloom bids farewell to giant muffin
The giant missing muffin is toast.

That’s the word from Greer, S.C., police, about the fate of the 4-foot-tall, 6-foot-wide, 200-pound “Bloomberry” muffin stolen from outside a Bloom grocery store.

“We’re very disappointed that it wasn’t recovered intact, but the mystery is solved,” said Karen Peterson, spokeswoman for Lion LLC, which owns Bloom.

The giant pastry, a Bloom’s icon constructed two years ago for an advertising campaign, was stolen Friday, July 13, then set on fire and run over, Peterson said.

It was located Aug. 8, but “had been burned beyond recognition," according to a Greer Police Department press release.

Lt. Chris Varner said that, during the investigation into the giant pastry’s disappearance, police checked a surveillance video from the Bloom store. They also received an anonymous tip, according to Peterson.

“We looked at the vehicles, located some kids in similar vehicles and started talking to them,” Varner said. One juvenile told police he knew where the muffin was.

“They confessed that they burned it. The night they stole it, they set it on fire with gasoline,” Varner said.

Despite its state, Varner said, police believe that the burned remains are indeed the giant Bloomberry. “But we can’t do any DNA testing,” he said.

Police will continue to interview the suspects, who could face grand larceny charges because of the cost of the muffin — $4,500, Varner said.

Peterson said that Bloom will not press charges.

Police will not release the names of suspects due to their ages and the continuing investigation.

“It was just a lack of anything else to do,” Varner said. “They thought it would be cute to steal the Bloomberry muffin.”

Peterson said that, if the anonymous tipster comes forward, he or she will receive the $300 reward and Bloom will donate $300 to the Loaves and Fishes food bank.

Will Bloom replace its large signature sweet?

“We’re hoping to,” Peterson said. “It’s a very unique marketing tool. But nothing will ever replace the original.”

The Stupid Story of the Week is reported by Tracy Majka.

hmmm is that wird or not!!

What are they going to steal next, the eggs from your fridge?

A dairy thief swiped two coolers of milk from an Orland Park home early last Monday morning, according to Orland Park police.

"I woke up, went outside around 7:30 or 8 and said to my husband, 'All right, you played a nasty trick on me. Where's the milk?' " said the victim, who lives on the 8300 block of Arrowhead Lane. "I felt so weird calling the police and saying, 'My milk was stolen.' "

Every other week, Oberweis delivers more than a dozen half-gallon jugs of milk to the family's home.

The dairy company replaced the family's milk -- 13 bottles of 2 percent and one of skim --free of charge, Oberweis President Bob Renaut said. The stolen milk was worth $43, he said.

He said most milk theft occurs in downtown Chicago.

"It's mostly homeless people," he said.

Last year, Chicago Police caught someone following an Oberweis distributor and filching the milk.

"He wasn't reselling it," Renaut said. "He was stealing it for his own family."

Renaut doesn't think customers should worry about losing the milk delivered to their doorsteps overnight. Oberweis makes 30,000 deliveries a week and has had fewer than 10 thefts this year, Renaut said.

Since the theft, the family has asked that Oberweis deliver milk to its back yard.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — A knife-wielding robber needed only $4, so he refused to take a $10 bill from his victim and waited while the man made change at a pizza parlor, police said Tuesday.

He then took the $4 and ran off, only to be captured a few blocks away, police said.

The suspect, James Mitchell, 48, was arraigned Tuesday on robbery and weapon charges. His attorney, Arlene Popkin, refused to comment.

Police Capt. Joseph DeCarlo said it "really is an odd case, but it is a robbery."

The confrontation began over an artificial rose that the 18-year-old victim had just bought, police said.

"He came out of the store and was approached by the suspect, who said, 'Give me the rose,'" DeCarlo said. "The kid told him, 'Go in there and get one.' But the suspect says, 'I want that one, and your money, too,' and pulls out a knife.

When the teen said all he had was $10, the suspect said he wanted only $4, DeCarlo said.

"He tells the kid to go into the pizza parlor and get change," DeCarlo said. "Then the kid comes out, he takes his $4 and he leaves."

The teenager and his mother, who was across the street, called police and led officers to Mitchell, DeCarlo said.

He couldn't say why Mitchell wanted only $4.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Leaf it to New Hampshire, where a bank branch was held up by a man disguised as a tree.

Just as the Citizen Bank branch opened Saturday morning, a man walked in with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso, and robbed the place.

"He really went out on a limb," police Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.

Police said the leafy man didn't saying anything about having a weapon, just demanded cash, and was given an undisclosed amount.

Although the branches and leaves obscured much of the man's face, someone who saw images from the bank's security camera recognized the robber and called police.

Officers said James Coldwell, 49, was arrested early Sunday at his Manchester home and charged with robbery. Arraignment was not expected until Monday.

An alleged Cape Town burglar apparently worked in a police station for seven months using a stolen police uniform, the Cape Argus reported on Tuesday.

It said Ricardo Voight (24) from Ocean View, appeared in the Simon's Town Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Voight faces charges of impersonating a police officer, theft of a motor vehicle and other charges relating to a spate of burglaries in the Ocean View area.

He was apparently a member of a housebreaking syndicate.

According to the charge sheet, Voight arrived at the Ocean View police station in November last year, dressed in a full police uniform allegedly stolen a few days before.

Using the name of the officer whose uniform he was wearing, he is alleged to have told senior staff he had been transferred from the Cape Town Central police station.

Voight was never asked for a route form and accompanying documents, standard procedure in the event of a transfer. He was allowed to start his duties in the charge office.

Apparently, he never received a salary as a police officer.

Voight allegedly broken into a house in Ocean View in June with other members of his syndicate.

The next day, while on police duty, he attended the scene of the crime. A resident pointed him out to police, and he was arrested. Voight has been held in custody since his arrest, and will appear in court again in September.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A man has been sentenced to four months in jail for cutting down more than 40 trees planted by a neighboring apartment complex, claiming they would undermine the geomancy of his house, a newspaper reported Friday.

Geomancy -- also known as feng shui -- is an ancient Chinese practice of arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. People in Chinese communities frequently consult feng shui experts on the locations of their homes and placement of household objects to improve their livelihoods.

Lo Pu-yi, a feng shui expert, was convicted by the Taipei District Court of cutting down the trees in a complex next to his home on a hill in suburban Taipei, the Apple Daily reported.

Lo's neighbors accused him of cutting down the banyans, willows and bamboos, saying the trees blocked the flow of air and could undermine his livelihood, the newspaper said.

A separate court will handle his neighbors' claim for $12,000 in damages, the paper said.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A man told police not to blame him for crashing his truck into a light post -- it was that unicorn behind the wheel. Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said.

Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.

A pickup truck drove through a red light and nearly struck another truck in the intersection, according to court documents. The driver then made an erratic U-turn through a gas station, crossed the street and crashed into a light pole. Nobody was injured.

Holliday has five drunken-driving convictions. District Judge Gregory Todd kept his bail at $100,000 despite his lawyer arguing that Holliday's last such conviction was 14 years ago.

Woman fakes death to avoid traffic court
SWANSEA, Wales, March 5 (UPI) -- A Welsh woman has drawn a suspended jail sentence for faking her own death in order to avoid going to court for a speeding ticket.

Glenda Askew, 47, of Swansea, was clocked driving 11 miles over the city speed limit in March 2006 and received a notice from police, The BBC reports.

Askew ignored the letter, but when a summons to court arrived, she decided she had better take action.

Prosecutor Bryn Hurford says Askew filled out the summons in the name of her daughter, Tracey Roberts, stating that her mother would not be able to come to court because she had died in a car accident.

Judge Michael Burr said he saw little purpose in jailing her and instead sentenced Askew to 12 months of supervision.

Berlin - A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck.

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained mason measured the single-storey summer house - which was about eight by six metres - before chainsawing through the wooden roof and walls.

"The man said he was just taking his due," said a police spokesperson. "But I don't think his wife was too pleased."

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's house where he has since been staying.
