NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF

A THIEF STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROBBERY TO PRAY WITH HIS VICTIM:

On Monday, 23-year-old Gregory Smith walked into a cash-advance shop in Indianapolis and asked the clerk if he could fill out a job application.

But when the clerk asked to see Gregory's ID, Gregory pulled out a gun and told her to empty the register.

Now, the exact details of what happened next are a little fuzzy, but it seems the clerk started talking to Gregory about God, and it really struck a chord with him. In fact, it got to Gregory so much that he stopped mid-robbery and asked the clerk to PRAY WITH HIM.

Anyway, after they finished praying, Gregory took the clerk's cell phone and $20 from the cash drawer, and left. --The next morning, Gregory's mother saw him on the news, and he turned himself in to the police later that day. He's been charged with robbery, pointing a firearm and having a handgun without a license.

According to a police spokesman, quote, "I've never seen anything like this on a case we've investigated. Especially one where the robber reaches out to hug the victim and then the victim later on hugs the suspect. Very unusual."

BALLOON BOY'S DAD THINKS THE WORLD WILL END IN 2012, AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS RUN BY ALIENS:

This Balloon Boy story just won't quit. If you're still interested, here's the latest . . . --Robert Thomas was a business associate of Balloon Boy's dad, Richard Heene. And he says that earlier this year, they were working on a reality show about the Heene family, and their attempts to contact UFOs.

According to Robert, Heene is obsessed with getting his own reality TV show and becoming famous, and the hoax was all part of a premeditated, get-rich-quick scam. --Robert's attorney says, quote, "Heene believes the world is going to end in 2012. Because of that, he wanted to make money quickly, [and] become rich enough to build a bunker or something underground, where he can be safe from the sun exploding."

(--In case you're wondering, the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, and some conspiracy theorists think the apocalypse will take place on December 21st, 2012. You've probably seen the commercials for that movie coming out next month called "2012".)

And, allegedly, that's not the only far-fetched idea Heene buys into. --Robert says Heene also believes in Reptilian humanoids. The general idea is that there are shape-shifters living amongst us, and that the government is run by aliens disguised as humans.

Anyway, Robert says he never thought Richard would go through with the air balloon hoax. And he certainly didn't think he'd get his son, Falcon, involved. --For what it's worth, Robert WAS paid for selling his story to Gawker.com, which is where it was first reported. But he swears he was paid, quote, "way less than most people think" . . . whatever that means.

Meanwhile, no charges have been filed yet against Richard Heene or his wife, Mayumi. (--Wow, just when you thought this guy couldn't possibly get any nuttier. But the fact that this jerk's response to the coming apocalypse was to get his own reality TV show so he could build a bunker raises an interesting question . . .) (Gawker / Yahoo News)

A DRUNK DRIVER RAN *HIMSELF* OVER WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE POLICE:

There's nothing sweeter than when the universe slaps some fool with a big, fat dose of cosmic justice. Just look at what happened last weekend to 27-year-old Kenneth Wright of Baldwin, Maine.

On Saturday night, Kenneth was doing some heavy drinking when he made three crucial mistakes: #1.) Even though he was wasted, Kenneth decided to get behind the wheel and drive drunk.#2.) When an officer noticed that Kenneth was driving erratically and attempted to pull him over, Kenneth decided to lead the cop on a high-speed chase at 90 miles per hour. #3.) Finally, after crashing into some trees, Kenneth attempted to escape on foot. But before bailing out, Kenneth forgot to put the truck in park and it ROLLED OVER HIM.

Kenneth was arrested for driving drunk and eluding a police officer. If he's convicted, he's looking at several hundred dollars in fines, suspension of his driver's license and even jail time. (Portland Press Herald)
