Dumb Criminal of the Week

James Rabbitz, pictured, is an EMT and ambulance driver who held up a Turkey Hill convenience store at knife point on Friday and made off with $200, according to police in Hazelton, PA.

The robbery was caught on the store's security camera and Rabbitz was swiftly identified as he was allegedly wearing his workplace uniform at the time of the crime.

He is being held on $25,000 bail.

His employer at Tech Transport had only the nicest things to say about Rabbitz and his work noting that he was a "great employee" who had "been employee of the month a number of times." Which I just feel compelled to add since it adds a slice of oddity.

Mark Twain said the "clothes make the man." In this case, they sure did. They made the man arrested.

Notes from Chris

Chris has problems. He's not afraid to talk about it, and he wants to talk with you about it. Notes from Chris is an ongoing art project where artist Todd Lamb posts "notes" all around New York City from a mysterious person named Chris. The official project page describes the project as " These are notes that I post around New York City from a mysterious man named Chris. Chris wants to do tedious things with people. He also has lots of problems." " “Notes From Chris” is the original project, started by Todd Lamb in 2008. This project is ongoing and new notes are always being made. Keep your eyes peeled, you may spot one on the street."

Fox Steals Everyone's Shoes

Missing one of your shoes and just can’t seem to find it? If any foxes live in your area, perhaps you should check their holes. At least, that was the lesson recently learned by residents of the German town of Foehren.
A mother fox stole over 100 shoes from residents throughout the town and brought them back to her home for her youngsters to play with. Most of the shoes were still in good condition and the residents were happy to have them back, so it sounds like no one will be getting revenge in the form of fox slippers.

Dumb Criminal of the Week

A mysterious man brandished a knife and used the weapon to make off with an undisclosed amount of cash from a convenience store, according to police in Lincoln, NE.

He also made headlines around the world for his disguise: a roll of two-ply toilet paper wrapped around his head.

Although the bathroom tissue trail went cold after the April 24 robbery, police now say Joshua Nelson is their man.

Nelson, 29, was arrested Saturday evening and charged with robbery and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

It's worth watching the video of Officer Katie Flood discuss the case just to hear the laughter in the room when she talks about the "beer box bandit": a criminal who used a beer box on his head as a mask.

8 Reasons Not to invite a Zombie to Your Dinner Party

I was in a meeting at work recently and since we were all from different departments around the hospital, they guy running the meeting decided that we needed to break the ice. To do this, we started it by him asking us one of those bullshit get-to know-you questions. You know the kind that are mildly interesting at best and have no possible application to real life? It was one of those. This time, the question was "If you could have lunch with anyone living or dead, who would it be and why?". This got me thinking. Why would anyone want to have dinner with a dead person? It made me think of this:
