Dumb Criminals: Tennessee Woman Arrested In Drug Bust Has Same Name As Peyton Manning

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

A traffic stop in south Nashville Sunday night turned into a drug bust and the arrest of a woman with the same name as star quarterback Peyton Manning.

According to an affidavit, police pulled over Manning, 18, and Kenneth Sowards on Elm Hill Pike near Briley Parkway around 11 p.m. because their high beams were on in traffic.

Manning was behind the wheel while Sowards, who owns the vehicle, was in the passenger seat, police said.

Officers noticed a marijuana odor coming from the car and Sowards, also 18, gave police verbal permission to search it.

The affidavit states two plastic baggies with a white powdery substance inside were found floating in a cup of Coca-Cola sitting in the console. The substance field tested positive for cocaine.

Dumb Criminals: British Bank Robber Gives Cashier Full Name And Address

Would-be bank robber gave cashier his full name and address
A hapless criminal wearing socks over his shoes tried robbing a bank with a breadknife just minutes after giving the cashier his full name and address. Armed with the knife, Dean Richard Smith, 27, stormed a bank in in Treorchy, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, demanding money, a court heard. But Smith, 27, was forced to leave empty handed, despite an elderly gentleman in his 70s he was standing next to offering him £20 of his own money to leave.

Rachel Knight, prosecuting at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court, said Smith, of Treorchy, had gone to the Barclays Bank branch in Treorchy, on April 15 to change his address. But just 30 minutes later, Smith was seen on CCTV wearing a jacket with his hood up, socks over his shoes, and sunglasses, rush up to the glass partition and demand money from cashier Catherine Stockton. She could see that he was holding a bread knife across his body as he demanded all the cash to be handed over.

Holllywood's Teenagers Are Falling Under The Spell Of Bizarre Cult

Despite bringing the impressionable teens the reading material, according to the news site, it was Miley Cyrus who first showed them the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, also known as Osho. After being exposed to such literature, the impressionable teens have since then taken a liking to the philosophy of the cult leader.

According further to Perez Hilton, the cult is called the "Orgonite Society." One source close to the teens speculates about the teens' affinity to the guru's teaching by saying:

"Because they are vulnerable and looking for something to believe in, they find the cult's ideals intriguing."

Apparently, it is Jaden and Willow who are more engrossed in the cult teachings. The source says that: "Jaden has really dived headfirst into this radical movement. He thinks he is a 'philosopher' and Willow is just as into it."

Osho, the philosopher who has gained a huge international following, is known to have radical teachings. The guru maintains a free and open minded stance when it comes to sex-thereby dubbing him as a sex guru.

Other controversial teachings of the guru include his bigoted stance against homosexuality, claiming that such people are not even human beings.

Of Course The Pentagon Has A 31 Page Zombie Prevention Plan

The Defense Department, known for having a plan in place for any disaster scenario, has created a detailed strategy for a possible zombie apocalypse, Gordon Lubold reports for Foreign Policy.

The strategy, known as "CONPLAN 8888," is an unclassified document that lays out how the military would best respond to a potential zombie apocalypse. The plan's overall purpose is for the military to undertake operations to "preserve 'non-zombie' humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde."

CONPLAN 8888 follows a three-step approach to ensuring these goals by 1) maintaining a defensive perimeter to protect human life; 2) conducting operations that will eradicate zombie threats; and 3) aiding civil authorities in restoring law and order.

Of course, the Pentagon does not actually believe in the likelihood of a zombie apocalypse. Instead, the plan was developed by military trainers who realized that a zombie survival scenario could be a useful and effective training tool.

Lebron James Would Lead Strike Against NBA If It Allows Sterling Family To Control Clippers

“King James” may lead his league into battle – but only if he has to.

National Basketball Players Association Vice President Roger Mason Jr. indicated Wednesday that Miami Heat superstar LeBron James may join his fellow NBA players in a boycott of next year’s season if Donald Sterling remains the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

“If it’s not handled by … the start of next season, I don’t see how we’re playing basketball,” Mason said in an interview with Showtime’s Jim Rome. “We have player reps, we’ve got executive committee members … Leaders of the teams, they’re all saying the same thing, ‘If [Sterling] is still in place, we ain’t playing.’”

“I was just in the locker room three or four days ago,” he added. “LeBron and I talked about it. He ain’t playing if Sterling is still an owner.”

James became a prominent critic among players after an audio recording that captured Sterling in a racist rant was released to the public. “There is no room for Donald Sterling in our league,” the two-time NBA champion said in the wake of the controversy.

I'm a fan of both the Lakers and the Clippers and I would definitely support the strike. Sterling really screwed the pooch on this one!

San Francisco High School Students' Senior Prank Involves "Mandatory Penis Inspections"

The prank was a letter that landed in teachers boxes advising that the district is requiring “mandatory penis inspections on all male students, faculty, and staff at Lowell High School.”

The note, signed by “Richard L. Dong, Head Penis Inspector” (insert Beavis and Butthead chortle here), includes a small illustration of what can only be described as a patriotic penis and the motto, “No Penis Left Behind.”

School and district officials were not amused, or at least they didn’t admit it.

“Late Monday afternoon, fliers announcing a phony inspection notice for students were posted in the halls of Lowell High,” according to a district statement. “The fliers, which mentioned a male body part, were removed and the dean of students at Lowell is investigating. Lowell administration is regarding this incident as a senior prank, and the infractions will be addressed according to school and district policies.”

Dumb Criminals: Waffle House Customer Literally Has His Pants On The Ground

ROCK HILL. S.C. – Rule #76 of what not to do… don’t take off your pants at the Waffle House.

The officer reported Smallwood’s pants were around his ankles but he still had his boxers in place.
