Funny Pictures #1: ZOMBIES!

I am starting a new thing where I post funny or weird pictures with a funny caption, it may be a weekly thing or just randomly whenever I feel like it, just try to enjoy it when it happens. These pictures are just an example of what you might get with the funny pictures and they are all from this news story I read on some website with the captions they wrote.
Pranksters in Austin, Texas, hacked computerized road signs to warn drivers of an unusual hazard on Monday. The signs appeared on Lamar Boulevard, a major city thoroughfare.

The joke was extreme, even for a city whose unofficial slogan is "Keep Austin Weird." The hackers had to cut open padlocks on the computers posted at every sign and circumvent those computers' passwords.

No actual undead were spotted on area roads. The biggest hazard seemed to be drivers slowing to photograph the signs.

Transportation officials weren't laughing. They called the horror messages "childish" and "not at all helpful." The hackers changed the passwords, so the messages were up for hours while authorities waited for the computers' manufacturer to change the access codes.

The prank ranks as a misdemeanor crime that could carry jail time. While officials tsk-tsked, locals appeared to have been highly entertained. As one online punster noted: "The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on."

Mass. man melting snow with blowtorch ignites home

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -Fire officials in New Bedford, Mass., say a man using a blowtorch to melt ice on his back porch ended up setting his house on fire, causing up to $30,000 in damage.

Fire Capt. Scott Kruger tells The Standard-Times of New Bedford that no on was injured during Monday's incident at the three-story home.

Kruger says the man was using a torch hooked up to a 20-pound propane cylinder. He got too close to the building's wood frame and ignited the vinyl siding. The fire quickly spread into the building's second- and third-floor apartments.

It took 25 firefighters to subdue the blaze that damaged bedrooms in the upstairs units, and caused damage to the structure and wiring.

The homeowner will not be charged.

Fla. woman drinking on roof asks man for more beer

FORT PIERCE, Fla. -A man called police on Wednesday night after he came home from work and spotted an intoxicated woman drinking a beer on the roof of his home. The 28-year-old woman was taken into custody after she refused to get down and leave. The police report said the woman agreed to leave only if the man agreed to give her more beer.

The woman, who faces a disorderly intoxication charge, has been in trouble before.

A police report shows that she was suspected of stealing money from her sister to buy alcohol in October. And last week an officer who went to her apartment on a disturbance report reported that Smith was intoxicated and wouldn't quiet down.

Man allegedly assaults girlfriend with burger

VERO BEACH, Fla. -A Vero Beach man faces a domestic violence charge after authorities said he assaulted his girlfriend with a cheeseburger. An Indian River County Sheriff's Office arrest report said a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend got into an argument as they sat in a car in front of their home.

The report said the man would not let the woman out of the vehicle, so she threw his drink out of the car. In response, the man allegedly grabbed her arm and smashed the cheeseburger into her face. The pair got out of the car, and authorities say the man again took the McDonald's sandwich and put it on her face.

The man was released on $1,000 bond Wednesday.

My Review of Some of the Top Movies of 2008

Here are some quick one sentence reviews of some of the most popular movies of 2008, most of which I haven’t seen so the reviews are just based on the title or what I have heard about the movie.

Milk
I didn’t like it, but I’m lactose intolerant.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This movie was so long by the end of it I was thinking, “I’m getting too young for this shit.”

The Counterfeiters
I would have enjoyed it more, but it was too fake.

Man on Wire
I thought I was going to see Denzel Washington in this movie, but I was way wrong.

Doubt
I doubt anyone even knows what this movie is.

Slumdog Millionaire
I was hoping for a movie with talking animals in it, but that is not what I got at all.

Wanted
I wanted to see The Dark Knight, but it was sold out.

Iron Man
I was expecting a movie about Black Sabbath, but instead I got a movie about a man in a suit of iron.

The Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk was an incredible waste of time.

Twilight
I can’t get onboard with a movie that promotes pedophilia so blatantly. A 150 year old vampire is in love with a 15 year old girl, how is that okay?

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I’m still trying to forget Marshall's penis.

Bedtime Stories
I did fall asleep during this movie if that counts.

Seven Pounds
I think they should have called it ‘Ten Dollars and Twenty-Two Cents’ for American audiences because nobody knows how to convert pounds to dollars.

What Happens In Vegas
This is not the sequel to ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’ so don’t even bother.

27 Dresses
It got a little old after awhile, I think they should have cut it down to like 25 dresses.

Mamma Mia!
I was expecting at least one Queen song but all it got was Abba. “Oh mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go”

Don’t Mess with Zohan & The Love Guru
I wish they would have combined these into one movie called ‘Don’t Mess with The Love Guru’ so I would only have to see one shitty movie.

Get Smart
I got smart and didn’t see it.

Cloverfield
Yes, that did come out this year, I checked.

Fool’s Gold
Number one movie of the year, you’d be a fool not to see it.

Ohio Police Chief Accidentally Shoots Self

MONROE, Ohio - Police in southwestern Ohio say a police chief mistakenly shot himself in the thigh after giving his daughter a gun safety lesson.

A police report says 54-year-old Middletown police Chief Greg Schwarber was preparing to clean his Glock .45-caliber pistol on Friday and didn't realize the gun was still loaded.

The report written by officers from neighboring Monroe says the bullet entered Schwarber's leg just above the knee.

The hospital had no record of Schwarber being treated or admitted. A home phone number for him couldn't be found.

Lyrics: Back With a Vengeance

From time to time I like to write songs and this is one that I wrote a couple weeks ago and decided to share it with you. Hopefully you enjoy it and I will try to write more in the future.

Back With a Vengeance
Hey everybody guess whose back with a brand new track
Nas said hip hop was dead but I just took a nap
Now that I am back on the attack
You know that I won’t be cutting you any slack
If you’re tired of al this audio tuner bullcrap
Than listen to me, Jack, cause you know I’m back
Don’t look in jail because I’m not black
Don’t look in the fridge because I’m not a snack
Don’t look at your ass because I’m not a crack
Just look right here because I’m back

I’m coming back in a major way
After all the time I’ve spent away
Can you believe I’m here today?
Because I’m back in a major way

I know you thought you got rid of me
But you’ve got to be kidding me
Like The Beatles I couldn’t let it be
So right now you can bet on me
Because sooner or later you will see
That I am the number one greatest MC
I have to warn you like a banshee
So everybody better take a knee
And you will all have to agree
Like cream I’ll rise to the top that’s a guarantee

I’m coming back in a major way
After all the time I’ve spent away
Can you believe I’m here today?
Because I’m back in a major way

Trust me I’m not going anywhere
All you other rappers should be aware
Better get ready and be prepared
Because I’m here again and ready to declare
I’m the greatest alive and a millionaire
Me and you just don’t compare
There’ll never be another me I’m too rare
Now just take a seat over there
Listen with your ears and don’t despair
Because I’m back for good this time I swear

Man accused of stealing 3-year-old's identity

GRAHAM, N.C. -Authorities say a North Carolina man used a Social Security number belonging to a 3-year-old girl to sign up for telephone and natural gas service. The News and Record of Greensboro reported Tuesday that 44-year-old Michael John Maris of Mebane was charged with one count of identity theft and two counts of obtaining property by false pretense.

Alamance County sheriff's officials said the child's grandmother, Linda Raker, contacted authorities after a collection agency began looking for unpaid utility bills in her granddaughter's name.

The sheriff's office said the suspect is related to Raker, but did not disclose the relationship.

Maris was being held Tuesday on $5,000 bond at the Alamance County jail. Court records didn't show that he had an attorney.
