A company in England created a mannequin – 300+ lbs - so that fire and rescue personnel would have someone to practice with, on…
“It isn’t possible to simply add dead weight to one of our existing dummies, as that does not accurately represent the weight distribution in a larger person.”
“Our aim was to achieve a ‘fluidity of movement’ and our top designer Sarah Hughes created a dummy that replicates, as closely as possible, the body mass of a large person, creating a realistic training tool.”
The company is targeting a niche market and apparently has had considerable success.
Success because of?
The 300+ lb dummies everywhere that are more and more in need of being rescued from their knives and forks and dinner plates and happy meals and …

The wife of a couple married for 26 years became suspicious of her husband.
So…she hid under his SUV which was parked outside of what she thought was his girlfriend’s house.
Waiting…waiting….waiting…ZZZzzzzz!
She fell asleep.
Somebody, and this part made me laugh, came by and let the air out of the tires on the SUV and the wife got stuck!
A guy working on his house next door heard her cries for help and rescued her.
The woman is now at the looney bin getting checked out.
No wonder her husband is thinking about or maybe even cheating on her.
Suppose, just suppose, the woman’s husband and GF came out of the house and got in the SUV and decided to leave.

51-year old Mrs. Robinson threw a big beer party for teenagers after the local high school homecoming dance.
And Simon & Garfunkel’s Hit …Here’s to you Mrs. Robinson…played in the background?
Mrs. R, said “It was a big mistake!”
Really, now.
“I just wanted to provide a safe environment for the kids to hang out and drink.”
And what part of drinking makes the environment safe?
I “took all of their car keys and made it clear that everyone who was drinking would have to stay the night at her house.”
Deputies found cases and cases of beer, empty and stacked in the laundry room.
Mrs. R said she “lost total control of the situation.”
Gosh, and wonder do we how that might have happened.
Charged with “ contributing to the delinquency of a minor and allowing minors alcohol at an open house party.”

The MRSA Superbug is giving global warming a respite today. There’s something else to be afraid of…something that can kill more quickly.
MRSA is a staph infection that will infect 90,000 Americans and kill 18,000 of them this year.
Staph infections….a full one-fourth of them come as a result of being in the hospital – dirty medical equipment, the guy next to you hacking in your direction.
More than half of staph infections are related to the healthcare industry.
And you thought it was going to be okay now that the hospital has you or that the nurses were looking out for you.
Think again.

I wrote about this twice -
Police Needed Help finding Pervert Who Abused Little Girl.
He’s been caught!!!!!
The nationwide manhunt ended at a routine traffic stop.
“He said, ‘I’m Chester Stiles, the guy you’re looking for,”‘ a Henderson police Officer said. “He said, ‘I’m tired of running.’”
He was still in Nevada.
Stiles told them “if you have sex with a toddler on tape, you have to run.”
Wait till he’s put in the slammer and has no place to run.
