Fasten Seat Belts
Flying to Los Angeles from San Francisco the other day, a passenger noticed that the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign was kept lit during the whole journey although the flight was a particularly smooth one.
Just before landing, he asked the stewardess about it.
"Well," she explained, "up front there are 17 University of California girls going to Los Angeles for the weekend.
"In back, there are 25 Coast Guard enlistees. What would you do?"

Painted dummy doesn't fool highway police
SEATTLE (UPI) -- A driver who put a hat-wearing, clothed dummy in his car's passenger seat when using a high-occupancy vehicle lane didn't fool a Washington state trooper.The trooper said when he first saw the fake passenger in a vehicle on northbound Interstate 5 Friday, he knew something suspicious was going on, The Seattle Times reported.
After pulling over the 27-year-old driver, the trooper found the passenger was actually just a dummy -- painted beige to give it a human appearance. The mannequin also had been adorned with a sweatshirt and a hat, the trooper said.
The driver couldn't explain himself to the trooper, who wrote up a $124 ticket for illegal use of the HOV-lane, the Times said.

CompUSA To Close Up Shop
PC Retailer CompUSA plans to close all its stores after the holidays, part of a sale of its assets to Gordon Brothers Group, a restructuring firm. CompUSA, owned by the Mexican based firm Grupo Carso SA, has 103 stores in 68 markets. Reports said that Gordon Brothers would look to sell individual stores in certain markets and close those that it could not sell.
CompUSA was founded in 1984 and rose to national prominence under the guidance of Nathan Morton. As chairman and CEO, Morton led CompUSA from two stores and $60 million in sales as SoftWarehouse to its standing as a multibillion-dollar national retailer in less than five years. He was posthumously honored as a member of CRN's Industry Hall of Fame in 2006. He succumbed to cancer at the age of 57 in 2005.

eBay'er wants $15,000 for Darth Vader Wii
Yeah, just about anything gets ratcheted up a couple levels on the fantasmical scale if Darth Vader makes a cameo, but seriously, $15,000 for a Dark Side Wii? To be frank, this auction has spoof written all over it, but whatever the case, redferndesign is offering up a "limited edition" (one of four, supposedly) Wii system with a red CD input LED, an all black motif, Darth Vader imprinted on the side and a pair of black Wiimotes / nunchucks. Also of note, the Wiimote pictured must be one of the rarest ever, particularly when you consider the previously nonexistent "x" and "y" buttons and the rectangular power switch. Even if the console (alone) is indeed modded up, there's no way anyone in their right mind will cough up that much coin, but why not hit the read link and have a laugh at his / her expense?
Donations replace wind-blown cash
MONTAGUE, Mass. (UPI) -- Donations more than replenished the $1,000 an elderly Massachusetts woman lost in a freak shopping cart accident that sent her cash a-blowin' in the wind.
Mary Olive Corbiere, 83, left her purse in a shopping cart in a parking lot in Montague, Mass., Tuesday when a wind gust sent the cart under a passing delivery truck, The Republican in Springfield, Mass., reported. The cart broke free but the retired English teacher's purse didn't and friction from the truck's tires burned and shredded it.
When the purse finally released its contents, the ripped and singed cash flew out along the pavement. Police recovered some of it but most was picked up by passing motorists, the newspaper reported.
When word got out about Corbiere's predicament, donations poured in, police said, including a $1,000 check from a customer at a cafe that took up a collection.
Corbiere, who had taken the money out of the bank for Christmas presents and to pay bills, expressed her gratitude for the donations, saying she would donate the extra money she received to charity.

Ungracious Lawyer
A lawyer had successfully handled a difficult law case for a wealthy friend. Following the happy outcome of the case, the friend and client called on the lawyer, expressed his appreciation of his work and handed him a handsome Moroccan leather wallet.
The lawyer looked at the wallet in astonishment and handed it back with a sharp reminder that a wallet could not possible compensate him for his services. "My fee for that work," acidly snapped the attorney, "is five hundred dollars."
The client opened the wallet, removed a one-thousand dollar bill, replaced it with a five-hundred dollar bill and handed it back to the lawyer with a smile.

A Feat of Strength
The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.
After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?" he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the young guy replied.
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then he turned to the young man and said, "Alright. Get in."

Restickable Glue Stick Makes Sticky Notes
Courtesy of LifeHacker.ComPost-It notes don't have to be boring, square, and yellow any more: make your own sticky notes with any size and color paper with the Scotch Restickable Adhesive Glue Stick. Just apply the magic sticky stuff to the back of any piece of paper, and stick and re-stick it anywhere you'd like. Over at the Cool Tools weblog, reader Bill says it helps him GTD:
I use it to make my various Getting Things Done/43 folders items and tasks stay put in my handheld binder. I jot my items and tasks down on variously colored pieces of paper of whatever size I need, rub the magic stickum on them, and they stay put in my binder until I decide to move them around. My inner child is happy because I get to play with stickers and glue; my inner adult is happy because I can continually and easily refine my GTD system.
Sounds like a good stocking stuffer for the crafty person in your life, too. The Restickable Glue Stick costs more than a regular glue stick, about $1.20 a pop (at Amazon at least).

University 'appalled' after students dress up as shooting victims
STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania: Photos of two Penn State University students dressed up for Halloween as victims of this spring's Virginia Tech massacre — wearing Virginia Tech shirts covered in bullet holes and fake blood — led to a rebuke from their university this week."We're appalled that these individuals would display this level of insensitivity and lack of common decency by dressing up in this manner," the statement said. "The fact that one of the individuals is actually from Virginia makes it even more difficult to understand."
