Hey there all you net friends.
It seems that there’s a new breed of idiot out there and it comes in the form of Social Net Crime braggers.
So what the heck exactly is a Social Net Crime bragger?! Well it’s basically members of the criminal fraternity who like to make themselves heard on internet social groups like Facebook, Myspace and Friends Reunited.
Why these peanuts are so dumb as to advertise their guilt is beyond me. Perhaps they don’t realise that their information is not entirely private. Not only do these criminals openly join chat groups and spew out the details of their illegal actions, but they post blogs challenging their rival gangs and delivering threats.

Hi there everybody.
Yeah so I stumbled upon a very interesting little story all the way from Italy, which really made me raise an eyebrow.
It seems that in Assisi, which is the hometown of St Francis the patron Saint of the Poor, the local mayor has decided to put a ban on begging.
Curious?
It seems that the mayor Claudio Ricci has decided to bar people from asking for free handouts.
Not only can the poor not ask for handouts, but they are not allowed to sit on the ground anywhere within 500 meters of a church, place of worship, public squares or even public buildings for that matter.
Mayor Ricci said that his reason was simply to “preserve the sacred character of Assisi without damaging its welcome“.
In defence Renato Martino who is the head of a Pontifical council for justice and peace said, “Begging is not a crime, I don’t understand why it has to be banned by adopting a law. Even if some people take advantage, helping those who are in need is always a good thing to do.”

Scientist junkies?? You better believe it.
In an eye opening survey by Nature it was found that in an “informal survey” one in five of the scientists were taking drugs to amplify their concentration and ability to retain memory.
These are serious prescription drugs, not just anything you can get from the counter in a pharmacy.
So what drugs have they been taking? Well it’s anything from Ritalin which you give to kids with ADHD, Provigil the super sleep meds and also certain beta blocking heart medication.
All this in aid of powering up their already massive brains.

Beware the Dark Side.
Here’s another hilarious police story that is just stellar in its madness.
Can you imagine being a police officer of Holyhead in the UK, which is all honestly is a sleepy little town, when suddenly over the radio you hear of an assault on two Jedi’s by none other than the Dark messenger of galactic death himself: Darth Vader.
Seriously.
This is how it all went down. It seems that during a television interview with brothers Barney (former aka Jedi Master Jonba Heho) and Michael Jones (founder of the UK’s Jedi Church), they were interrupted by a certain individual named Arwel Wynne Jones AKA: Darth Vader.
It seems that Mr. Jones dressed up in black rubbish bin bag and a black helmet, jumped their fence and started laying into the poor Jedi with a metal crutch.
