Bombs! Guns! Dope! Coke! Spiders! Lizards! Alligators! Scorpions! A Man That Lives With His Mom! A Garage Full of Lawn Mowers! Oh the horror! Oh the humanity!
OK, so the guy was actually growing pot in his back yard, and the cops did find coke on a mirror, but the rest is just a fnord-fest. The "bombs" turned out to be some sort of flare things made outta model-rocket parts. The "zoo of dangerous animals" that one cop claims was guarding the drugs and stolen goods turns out to be an alligator (I'm guessing about a 10 inch baby?), geckos, two scorpions and a tarantula (which the article mentions "are venomous").
Uh, scorpions and tarantulas are about as poisonous as bees, OK, maybe wasps... I don't even know what to say about the concept of attack geckos.

Canadians Not So Different After All
Nobody wants to be prejudiced. But sometimes you can be biased and not even realize it. I think many Americans are biased in this way against Canadians. I never really stopped to think about it, but I myself used to be this way. I guess I thought that Canadians were "stuck-up" — you know, smarter and better cultured than us. But then I got educated about Canadia. (More...)
