41-year-old Mary Stone was recently run over by a pick-up truck. No, it wasn’t a drunk driver. And no, it wasn’t a speeding teenager.
It wasn’t even a human being.
As strange as it sounds, the guilty party was a German Shepherd. And not just any old German Shepherd mind you. It was a trained police dog named Ranger.
Perhaps a little too well-trained, somehow, the four-legged creature managed to shift gears in the parked car and drive over his victim as she walked over to her mailbox.
What is most perplexing is how this dog managed to change gears and release the hand brake. Police are currently trying to investigate whether there might have been some malfunction with the gears that allowed the vehicle to be moved so easily.
So who is ultimately to blame for the accident? Well, technically, the policeman who was responsible for the dog at the time can’t be charged with anything because he hasn’t done anything wrong. He left the dog in the car for a short moment and chose to leave the engine on so that Ranger would get some air conditioning. When he noticed the car starting to roll forward, he yelled out to Mrs Stone, but it was too late.
So I guess that just leaves the dog.
And as for poor Mrs Stone? She suffered a fractured pelvis and several other broken bones, but she’ll survive.

A senior surgical doctor at Sydney’s Concord Hospital was recently charged with obscene exposure. Sanjay Warrier sat on a letterbox in Coogee, naked, in broad daylight, flipping it and whipping it and scaring everyone off with it. Surprisingly, charges against him were dismissed because according to Magistrate Brian Moloney, it would not be in the interests of society to convict “ a skilled surgeon” such as Warrier in these circumstances.
Everybody lies from time to time. It’s just the way this world seems to work. Even the most honest of us do it. But I guess what matters is the degree to which you lie and the consequences of that lie on those around you. If you go too far, you could hurt someone. You could hurt yourself. You could even end up in jail...
Retired Judge, Donald Thompson, will be on trial in Oklahoma very soon for allegedly exposing and pleasuring himself whilst presiding over a matter in court. His court reporter, Lisa Foster who has been employed by Thompson for 18 years, testified in a preliminary hearing that she not only saw him using a “penis pump” on four separate occasions in 2002 and 2003 but also alleges that she saw him shave his scrotum in court! Thompson is further accused of using state computers to view pornographic images.
