Just a funny article, or two

AP ran this story today about a bank robber who had a sudden attack of conscience and tried to return the money he stole to the bank. I was thinking perhaps he was starving or had housing problems and by robbing the bank and returning it he was thinking he'd solve his problem by being put in jail where he'd get food and shelter for free. What other reason would one have for returning cash you just stole?

Robber goes back to bank to return money

A man who allegedly robbed a bank of $1,100 yesterday made it easy on police.
Authorities said that just minutes after Andre M. Ellis, 39, robbed an ESB Bank in Ambridge, they caught him standing in front of the bank trying to return the money.
"He felt bad about it so he tried to do the right thing," said Ambridge Police Chief David Sabol. "I've never seen anything like it."
Also in the news...
German police baffeled by Bush poo-flags
A friend of mine actually printed up some flags of his own last night and is currently on a mission to plant his own poo-flags. I know, really mature right? But for some reason he makes it a reasonable endeavor.

Hey - don't knock it! It has a serious political message -- like representing George W. Bush's attitude towards the environment, for example.

But it's also darned funny. Well, unless you're Republican of course.

Even if you were a Republican, I would think it'd be a little funny. But then, I wouldn't know.

I'm stuck on the guy who tried to return the money. (Hey guy: don't return it to the bank. Leave it on the police station doorstep or something. They'll figure it out.) That poor confused man.
