Now Don't Tell Me You Wouldn't Have Done The Same Thing

     A Michigan woman ordered a burger from her local McDonald's. The burger came without the advertised bacon. The woman made a fuss so she was given a free meal. No bacon came with the free meal either. This obviously pushed this woman over the edge, so she got her gun and fired a shot through the restaurant. Luckily she didn't hit anyone. I guess she was hoping to get their attention, and she was successful. She got the restaurant's attention and she was also noticed by the police.
As it turns out, in Michigan it is illegal to fire a shot at a building. Go figure. She has also been convicted of using a gun in a felony. Now, I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. So if she had not used a gun to fire a shot into the restaurant, she would not have been convicted of using a gun in a felony. Of course, without the gun to fire the shot there would have been no felony. Does it sound to you like the justice system is double dipping on this poor baconless person?

You Can't Put Anything Over On Those Aussies
     Astronomers at Australia's Swinburne University of Technology have been confused since the 1990's by the intense bursts of radio waves, known as perytons, that their equipment has been picking up. There first conclusion was that these perytons were coming from outer space, sometimes referred to as deep space, like maybe a better recipe for the 'secret sauce' or something. However, I guess the radio waves were not really telling them anything, so they became suspicious. After some experiments, they discovered that these radio waves were actually coming from microwave ovens in their neighborhood.
     So I guess we'll just have to wait for those all-knwoing deep space beings to get us the improved recipe. I don't know whether that's good or bad. I'm not a user of the secret sauce, so that may have something to do with my level of interest.
