Toilet Creativity (continued)

In a continuation of the idea of putting creative things down the toilet...

This is what it looks like when you empty 32 glow sticks into the water tank of a toilet and flush it. Extra credit for making the colors change with each flush.

Strange Crimes: Toilet is Victim of Vandalism

California cop trashes his foreclosed, million-dollar home. I give him points for creativity: He poured concrete down the toilet. That's inventive and probably really expensive to repair.

Strange Crimes: Police Sting Operation Comes Back to Bite Them

On Monday, October 4, 2010, Sean Alivera and Christopher Luciano stole 20 pounds of marijuana and $3,000 from a Philadelphia drug dealer. So what's so unusual about that? All three of them were cops. The "drug dealer" was undercover. Alivera and Luciano were on duty and in uniform. They planned to resell the pot for $24,000. Instead, they will be appearing in court, like the 13 other Philadelphia police officers arrested in the last two years. The other officers were charged with a variety of offenses, including cheating at a casino, battery with a hockey stick, and stealing heroin.

All this begs the question: If the cops are so busy policing each other, who is policing the criminals?

Strange crimes: Birds behind bars

This parrot was arrested by Columbian police for "aiding and abetting drug traffickers." He was trained as a lookout, and when he saw police coming, he warned the traffickers, "Run, run, the cat is going to get you." (In Spanish...Columbian parrots don't speak English.) The police have detained over a thousand birds trained as lookouts.
