Man Says He Bit Into Burger, Found Condom
RUTLAND, Vt. — A Rutland man said he found a condom in a burger he had ordered from Burger King.
Miguel Hartless said he made the discovery after the third bite of the Southwestern Whopper he ordered from the Rutland restaurant, WPTZ-TV in Plattsburgh, N.Y., reported.
Hartless said he immediately got sick and has since had nightmares about the incident. He also has had tests for sexually transmitted diseases, which he said came back negative.
Hartless said he’s saving the burger, which he put in his freezer, as evidence for a lawsuit against the owner of the restaurant for pain and suffering as well as medical expenses.
A manager at the Burger King in Rutland declined comment.
As for Hartless, he said he will be more cautious when he eats fast food.

Iraqi policewomen are told to surrender their weapons
The Iraqi government has ordered all policewomen to hand in their guns for redistribution to men or face having their pay withheld, thwarting a U.S. initiative to bring women into the nation’s police force.
The Interior Ministry, which oversees the police, issued the order late last month, according to ministry documents, U.S. officials and several of the women. It affects all officers who have earned the title “policewoman” by graduating from the police academy. It does not apply to men in the same type of jobs.
Critics say the move is the latest sign of the religious and cultural conservatism that has taken hold in Iraq since Saddam Hussein’s ouster ushered in a government dominated by Shiite Muslims. Now, that tendency is hampering efforts to bring stability to Iraq by driving women from the force, said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. David Phillips, who has led the effort to recruit female officers.
Turn a vehicle off from a distance via microwave gun
I think KITT use to be able to do the same thing . . .
The high-power electromagnetic system (HPEMS) uses microwave energy to disable/damage vehicle’s electronic control module/microprocessors which control engine’s vital functions. The system is capable of (1) high-value asset perimeter protection from approaching hostile vehicles, (2) bringing cars to halt on urban, suburban roads and multi-lane highways, (3) perimeter protection for gas-oil (fueling) platform at sea and (4) day/night, all weather clandestine operations.
