Hutch's Scrounge Lounge

WARREN, Mich. AP — A 52-year-old man complained only about the cold weather before walking into a diner with a five-inch knife sticking out of his chest. The unnamed man called a Warren 911 operator on Sunday night to ask that an ambulance be sent to Bray’s, an eatery in neighboring Hazel Park. He said he had been stabbed during a robbery attempt half a mile away, then walked to the restaurant and called 911 from a pay phone.

On a recording of the call, the man gives a vague description of his attacker before saying, “I’m gonna sit down at Bray’s cause they got a chair and it’s cold out here.

“Restaurant employee George Mirdita told The Detroit News the man calmly ordered coffee.

Police said Tuesday that the man is recovering.

Afghanistan: 22-year-old Lewis Coulbert of the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards has come through his first engagement with the Taliban wounded but with resolve unshaken after he was hit by a bullet during the midnight gun battle.

Coulbert said it felt like his arm was “jabbed really hard” but it wasn’t until he looked down that he realised he had taken an AK47 round off a ricochet. The young soldier pulled the bullet out, took care of the wound, and kept fighting.

“I was nervous about my first contacts, because I didn’t know how I would react. But I was surprised by how calm everyone stayed. You don’t panic because everyone has a job to do,” said Coulbert.

Sex with Horses Then, Sex with Horses Now

TN – James Tait, 58, and Kenny Thomason, 44, are charged with felony animal cruelty after being arrested for having sex with horses on their farm. Tait, facing three counts, and Thomason, facing two, are both being held on roughly $100,000 bail.

Police are investigating if the farm was a destination for zoophiles and have found videos of bestiality taking place on site. Investigators believe sex on the farm involved dogs, ponies, and full-grown horses.

In 2005, Tait was charged with criminal trespassing on an Enumclaw, WA farm on the same night a man there died after his colon was punctured during sex with a horse. In 2006, Washington state made bestiality a Class C felony.

A UFO streaks through the sky in this astonishing video of the Iranians test firing a controversial missile.

The mystery object zooms unseen through Iran’s airspace — before splitting a cloud in two as the film focuses in on the soaring rocket.

A UFO expert today described the unknown craft — which appears to be tracking the weapon — as “phenomenal”.

Iran launched two short-range missiles last Saturday — angering the West and Israel.

A US report on Fox News revealed the UFO in footage of the second launch.

The video shows the Shahab-3 rocket soaring into the sky.

But after 38 seconds a nearby cloud is mysteriously torn in two by a flying object travelling at speed.

Nick Pope, a respected former UFO analyst for the Ministry of Defence, examined the remarkable footage.

He hinted that whatever ripped through the cloud was not man made.

He said: “One theory is that it’s a secret American drone. At any time there are prototype aircraft and drones being operated that won’t be shown in public for years.

“Stealth aircraft flew for many years before their existence was acknowledged.

“But the speed and acceleration seems phenomenal. I’m not convinced we’ve got anything capable of such manoeuvres.”

It’s not easy being a drug cop.

You’re constantly dealing with characters who can be less savory than mud pie. And then you discover that some of these people have vast amounts of money.

Who amongst us would not, therefore, in the midst of a raid on a suspected drug dealer’s house, avail himself of the suspect’s loot? Consider, for instance, the suspect’s Wii.

In some highly entertaining footage from WFLA Tampa, cops appear to have been caught red-fingered by a security camera they missed in the home of Michael Difalco, an alleged drug dealer who was already in custody.

The footage shows these Polk County officers getting frightfully excited. One chap, on finding what he claims to be a bag of meth, performs a celebration that might normally only be seen in a late night bar after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have actually won a game.

However, the real joy seems to have been delivered by a little Wii bowling, conveniently displayed on Difalco’s rather expansive television.

One male officer is so consumed with glii after he knocks down some virtual pins that he looks like Kevin James celebrating the fact that he’s met a girl who finds him attractive. It could not be described as either rhythmic or aesthetically appealing.

One lady drugbuster is cataloging evidence, but is overcome by her need to Wii several times.

Naturally, this footage has caused a few people to be somewhat bowled over. Defense attorney Rick Escobar, for example, seems to believe that the officers violated the terms of the search warrant.

However, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, while acknowledging that the bowling was not good behavior, told WFLA: “We executed that search warrant appropriately from a legal sense.”

You might be wondering how it is that the officers didn’t realize they might be being filmed. Well, apparently, Difalco had a security camera that looked like a speaker. It was hooked up to a computer.

And the police didn’t, for some peculiar, no doubt un-Wii-related reason, seize the computer.
