Is This For Real?
Drunk, Dumb, and Criminal: A 29-year-old man in New Jersey seems to be an expert at making a bad situation even worse. He was stopped and cited for DUI on Sunday evening. He was released, but his car was impounded. A few hours later he was caught inside a tow truck at Saucon Collision, which was closed at the time. He even told police that he was going to get his car back with the tow truck. So now he's facing criminal attemp to steal a vehicle, theft from a vehicle, loitering and prowling at nighttime charges. This is why rule #1 in the successful criminal handbook is "Stay Sober."

Let There Be Light II: The earliest headlamps were fueled by acetylene or oil and were introduced in the late 1880s. Acetylene lamps were popular because the flame was resistant to wind and rain.
