Thieves Steal Swimming Pool, Leave No Evidence

July 27, 2007

I don’t want to promote illicit behaviour but this is both funny and impressive at the same time:

 From CNN:

PATERSON, New Jersey (AP) — Daisy Valdivia is annoyed that someone stole her backyard pool — and baffled at how they did it without leaving behind a splash, drip or trace of the 1,000 gallons of water it contained.

Valdivia awoke to find her family’s hip-high, inflatable, 10-foot diameter swimming pool gone from her back yard Wednesday.

Valdivia told The Record of Bergen County the theft must have occurred between 1 a.m., when her husband went to bed, and 5 a.m., when she awoke.

She’s amazed someone could steal the pool that quickly and just wanted to know “what the heck they did with the water,” she said.

Valdivia told The Herald News of Passaic County that she was surprised the thieves chose the pool to steal.

“We have two grills, chairs, umbrellas, they’re much easier to take,” she told the paper.

Paterson police told The Herald News the theft was apparently planned.

“Someone took a little time and effort thinking about this,” Lt. Anthony Traina of the Paterson Police Department said. “This wasn’t just walking by and snatching a bike. That tells us something, too.”

How did they not spill any water?  A pump would have been pretty noisy.  Maybe siphoned it out somehow.  And a 10′ pool is what, $100?  Must be a prank, and a pretty good one. 


Googl-oetry

Via The Exterminator, I have decided to give this a try.  I have never posted about Paris Hilton so I don’t get search engine results near as cool as his.

Simply use one of your traffic-trackers to find the phrases that people keyed into Google to arrive at your blog. (Purists like me will insist that your site show up within the first ten search returns, but that’s not absolutely necessary.) Then, use those phrases to create a verse that’s both beautiful and profound — although perhaps unintelligible.

I don’t know about Blogger but from what I can find WordPress only keeps the google searches for 7 days.  I know I had some stranger ones in the past but we will have to run with these for now:
