FERN PARK, Fla. — A 15-year-old boy was arrested when deputies stopped him driving a stolen bus along a public transit route, picking up passengers and collecting fares, authorities said Sunday.

“I drove that bus better than most of the LYNX drivers could,” the teen told a deputy after his arrest. “There isn’t a scratch on it. I know how to start it, drive it, lower it, raise it.”

Built largely of glass and steel and powered by an electric motor “not much bigger than a washing machine motor”, the Everingham Rotating House is a brilliant testimonial to the ingenuity of its owner/builders.  It also encapsulates many aspects of ecologically sound building principles, such as optimising on natural light and heat, while rotating 180^o to take advantage of sunshine and shade at different times of the day and year.

The Experiment

The purpose of this experiment was to test the effectiveness of various methods of preserving a carved pumpkin (jack o’ lantern). We gathered some tips from various pumpkin carving resources, and also sampled a commercial spray. The results were observed over a two week period.

It’s a restaurant in Tempe that serves very unhealthy food and all the employees dress like medical staff.  Very much like a Hooters, so if you are offended by that kind of stuff don’t click here.

Regarding their employees:

The element of sex appeal is prevalent at the grill, and we believe that our Nurses* are as socially acceptable as the all-American cheerleader.  Our “famous” Nurses* are an important part of the Heart Attack Grill experience.  We hire women who best fit the classic image of a loving and understanding confidant.  Claims (by PC Nazis) that we exploit beautiful women are as ridiculous as saying the NBA exploits men who are tall and athletic.
