NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF (12-04-09)
THREE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS WERE PUT ON LEAVE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE GATE-CRASHING INCIDENT:
Last week, a couple of attention-seeking meatballs named Tareq and Michaele Salahi crashed a White House State Dinner in honor of India's Prime Minister. Now, three Secret Service agents have been put on leave for allowing it to happen.
According to the head of the Secret Service . . . a guy named Mark Sullivan . . . the security breach was caused by, quote, "human error" alone. And if the agents had carried out the proper security protocols, quote, "we would not run into this situation." --Sullivan then pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, PRESIDENT OBAMA has NOT received an extraordinary number of threats against his life.
In fact, he's received no more death threats than either PRESIDENT BUSH or PRESIDENT CLINTON had at this point in their presidencies. (My Way News)
AN ARMED ROBBER APOLOGIZED AND REPAID A CONVENIENCE STORE OWNER WHO GAVE HIM $40 AND A LOAF OF BREAD LAST MAY:
Last May, a man carrying a baseball bat walked into the Shirley Express deli on Long Island, New York, and told the owner, 47-year-old Mohammad Sohail, to empty the cash register. --Instead, Mohammad pulled out a gun and made the robber get on his knees.
But the robber begged Mohammad not to kill him, and explained that he was broke, and needed the money to feed his family. So Mohammad, in a moment of pure selflessness, gave the guy $40 and a loaf of bread. Then he sent him on his way.
Fast forward to last week when Mohammad received a letter in the mail, containing a $50 bill. --The letter read, quote, "First of all, I would like to say I am sorry. At the time I had [no] money, no food on the table, no job and nothing for my family . . . When you had that gun to my head, I was 100% [sure] that I was going to die . . .
"Now I have a new child and good job. Make good money, staying out of trouble and taking care of my family. You gave me forty dollars. Thank you for sparing my life. Because of that you change my life."--The robber also told Mohammad he's converted to Islam, and the letter was signed "Your Muslim Brother."
How did Mohammad respond to the letter? He says, quote, "I really feel great. Thank God he's doing good. When you do good things for somebody, it comes back to you. I gave him $40 and he sent me back $50. It was a good investment." (New York Post)
WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR CAT HOME ALONE, IT SPENDS 22% OF ITS TIME STARING OUT THE WINDOW:
Have you ever wondered how your cat spends its time when you leave it home alone? Of course you have, because you love your cat. Well, lucky for you, you're about to find out. -Recently, an animal behavioral scientist named Jill Villarreal outfitted 50 housecats with "collar cameras" that took a photo every 15 minutes.
From the photos, Jill was able to determine that when you leave your cat home alone, it spends 22% of its time staring out the window . . . --12% of its time playing with your other pets . . .--8% of its time climbing on furniture . . .--6% of its time sleeping . . . another 6% watching TV or your computer screen . . . and another 6% is spent hiding under tables.--It also spends 5% of its time playing with toys. --And 4% of its time is spent eating or looking at food.--It's still unclear exactly how your cat spends the other 31% of its time.
