STORY, Ind. (AP) — A woman whose hair caught fire when her hairspray-coated follicles ignited as she lit a cigarette is now a southern Indiana town's reigning "Village Idiot." Dani Hamm earned the honorary title this month by getting the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn, a restaurant and bar about 15 miles east of Bloomington where she's a bartender.
The title awarded every April comes with a $100 bar tab at the rural inn.

Hamm was driving to work in February when she lit up a cigarette and then heard a "whoosh" as her hair ignited.

She wasn't injured because she used her hands to douse her hair, which she had coated with a liberal layer of hairspray.

Female Phila. officer files complaint over hair color

A female African American officer filed a complaint Wednesday with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, saying her captain had ordered her to change her hair color, which he said was purple.

When Officer Renee Norman refused, she twice was sent home, forcing her to miss her shift. She maintained the color was red.

"I just never felt so embarrassed in my life," Norman said.

"I thought he was joking," she said. "I was like, 'Stop playing me.' "

Condemned Utah killer could face firing squad


Under state law, Gardner, 49, decides whether he wants to be killed by lethal injection or be shot by a five-man team of executioners firing from a set of matched rifles, a rarely used relic that harkens back to Utah's territorial history.

I find it fascinating that a real religious state like Utah still has the death penalty.Its also kind of funny that some how a firing squad is less humane then running 50,000 volts through your head and melting your brain.

If you must have the death penalty by firing squad because your citizens demand it can we at least do it "Running Man" style where they release the guy into one of Utahs parks and have him be hunted by the guys who are set to shoot him?Seems more sporting and would be great tv.

Hey Mr Death row inmate, I've got good news and bad news for you, which do you want first?Ok the good news is that theres been some new DNA evidence that surfaced in your case that totally exonerates you!I know thats great isnt it!Ok now the bad news is remember when we infected you with AIDS last week?Yea.Enjoy the rest of your short life though!

I of course was suggesting the Running Man scenario in jest, La Quinta.Since most of my ideas come from early 90's action movies what I really am in favor of is instead of the death penalty I think we should do what they did in that Ray Liotta movie "No Escape" where they drop all the condemned prisoners onto an island and let them fend for themselves.

More than three years after a Brooklyn teacher's car was stolen, she finally got her ride back - totally pimped out.


The previous "owner" souped up the Accord, putting in a manual transmission and leather interior and hanging a Dominican flag and a giant wooden cross from the rearview mirror.

"I'm Jewish," Pogany said, "and I don't even know how to drive a stick shift!"
