Armless speedster shocks New Zealand police

Fri Mar 24, 5:33 AM ET

WELLINGTON (AFP) - A New Zealand police officer could not believe his eyes when he found the motorist he stopped for speeding at 121 kilometres per hour (75 mph) had no arms.


The 32-year-old disabled driver was using one foot to steer and the other to operate the pedals when he was stopped in the Bay of Plenty on the west coast of the North Island.

He told the shocked police officer he was born with no arms and he had never held a driver's licence.

Acting Senior Sergeant Deidre Lackfor said she had spoken to several officers with lengthy careers and none had heard of anything remotely like it.

She said she had nothing against people with disabilities driving but "obviously driving at a speed like that, arms or not, you're just waiting for an accident".

The 32-year-old was fined 170 New Zealand dollars (103 US) and barred from driving.

St. Patrick wasn't even Irish! He was SCOTTISH (possibly)!

Yeah, I'm almost half Scottish! "It it's not Scottish its CRAP!"
To quote Trainspotting "It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched miserable servile pathetic trash that was ever shat on civilization. Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to get colonized by. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!"

I on the other had think its pretty damn nice to be Scottish. Horray for the Keltic! I'm going to be in Chicago for the big St.Patty's event (though i hear most of the parties went down last weekend). So, expect many pictures of the wonderful weekend.

Here is a little backgroud on St. Patrick:
Historical sources report that Saint Patrick was not even Irish! He was born around 373 A.D. in either Scotland or in Roman Britain (the Romans left Britain in 410 A.D.). His real name is believed to have been Maewyn Succat, but he changed it to Patrick after he became a priest. At the age of 16, while living in Ireland, he was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery.


During his 6-year captivity, he worked as a shepherd. He found strength in his faith. He finally escaped and made it to France, where he became a priest (and later a bishop).

When he was about 60 years old, St. Patrick traveled back to Ireland to spread the Christian word. He used the green shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clover, as a metaphor to explain the concept of the Trinity - father, son, and holy spirit. The Irish people embraced him. The old saint died in his beloved Ireland, March 17th, about 460 A.D. The land which once enslaved him, he had set free.

Today, Saint Patrick's Day is a basically a time to wear green and party. The first American celebration of Saint Patrick's Day was in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. As the saying goes, on this day "everybody is Irish!" Over 100 U.S. cities now hold Saint Patrick's Day parades, the largest held in New York City.

Long overdue blog?

I know there are many of you out there wondering how i have been lately (and if you haven't then stop reading because you'll be bored to tears). So, to quote Ferris Bueller, "life moves pretty fast if you don't stop and look around once and a while, you could miss it." I have been taking notice of all the changes going on around me. Friends getting new jobs, moving, and growing up. It makes me realize that while i am young, i am also taking steps towards the future and taking on more responsibilities. Currently i am thinking about where i will be in a year. I know i don't want to stay in Columbia. This town has treated me well and I could make a list of all of the great memories that would go on for miles. I just know its not my permanent home. Maybe i need a job that pays more so i could afford to travel more.

So, a quick update;

I am still working for the university. The job is good. I miss my friends that don't live here anymore (Sally, Danielle, Hula, CJ, CnS, and this is just another endless list). I have some great friends that are still here. A wonderful new boyfriend who makes me feel alive in ways that i have never felt before. So, i really couldn't ask for too much more. Other than as noted above, more money to travel.

Website

Funny prank website that everyone should go check out... i has kept me entertained at work for about 3 hours now!

Oh NO!

I totally stole this from my friend Bree's MySpace blog. it was too funny not to. So, props to Bree and the super funny post...


"On August 25th, someone crashed a truck into a brick wall on the campus of The University of Maryland. The gaping hole was covered with a banner until repairs could be made. Fast forward to October 22nd, a prankster who uses the nickname Mystic Pixel and his pals used the opportunity to erect a monument to the all time greatest wall-breaker, The Kool-Aid Man! Unfortunately, the joke was short lived, as over zealous campus security removed the big red guy about 3 hours after it was erected."
-RetroCrush

This makes me wonder if maybe Dane Cook had anything to do with it...
