Chickenshit "male" arrested for sexually assaulting woman
who was jogging, Peoria Police say
A Phoenix man was arrested after police say he sexually
assaulted a woman who was jogging on a Peoria trail.
On Jan. 28, 27-year-old Steven Ryan Michael reportedly
came up behind a woman jogging on Skunk Creek Trail near
75th Avenue and Bell Road and threw her to the ground.
He "got on top of her and sexually abused her. The victim
aggressively fought Steven, and was able to get away to
call 911," police said.
Court documents say while Michael was on top of the woman,
she punched him, but then he grabbed her chest. As she
screamed for help and told him to stop, she continued to
fight back and kick him in the groin – which is when he
got off of her, and she ran away.
The woman didn't have her phone on her, so she ran home to
tell her husband, and he called 911.
Michael was found near where the alleged incident happened
and was arrested after he reportedly ran from officers at
first.
Police say once they took him into custody, his story
didn't add up. First, he told officers he took a bus from
Phoenix to the area to go hiking but wasn't wearing hiking
clothes and wasn't near a hiking trail. Then he told
officers he was waiting for Arrowhead Towne Center to
open.
He was booked into jail on suspicion of several felony
counts, including, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault,
aggravated assault and kidnapping.

The social studies teacher had just finished a unit on war
and peace. "How many of you," he asked, "would say you're
opposed to war?"
Not surprisingly, all hands went up.
The teacher asked, "who'll give us the reason for being
opposed to war?"
A large, bored-looking boy in the back of the room raised
his hand.
"Johnny?" The teacher said.
"I hate war," Johnny said, "because wars make history, and
then some poor, innocent kid has to memorize all about
it."

That was me. And a second after the exam, I dumped it all.

"The thrill is gone from my marriage," Alan told his
friend Don.
"Why not add some intrigue to your life and have an
affair?" Don suggested.
"But what if my wife finds out?"
"Heck, these are the '2K's, Alan. Go ahead and tell her
about it!"
So Alan went home and said, "Dear, I think an affair will
bring us closer together."
"Forget it," said his wife. "I've tried that six times
already. It never worked."

Stolen ambulance crashes in Visalia

Today, June 25 in
1941 Finland declared war on the Soviet Union, and then
asked
Germany to help them. They chnaged sides and kicked the
Germans
out in late spring 1945, when it had become obvious, that
the
allies would win.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never

p.m. on Monday near the 700 block of E. Noble to assist
medical
professionals.

ambulance that was left running.
Police say they were able to catch up with Chaffin, who
was
driving the stolen ambulance with both emergency lights

They caught up with her in downtown Visalia near Acequia

Locust, where she later crashed into another ambulance
that was
carrying a patient. She also crashed into a police car.
Chaffin was taken into custody and later to the hospital.
A
Visalia Police Officer was also taken to the hospital for
injuries received during the collision with the stolen

RE: W-11
Dear Webby
What's this about W-11 coming out from Microsoft?
Did we stop bitching about the klutzy W-10 ?
Bill (The other one)
Dear Bill (The other one)
Keep in mind that Microsoft owns significant portions of
DELL
and all the Chinese computer manufacturers.
W-11 will initially be cuckood into new machines only,
and eventually, once there is a wide enough user base to
provide good enough support, by download on demand.
W-11 includes a host of cosmetic upgrades, such as a new
Start
button, a revamped task bar and sounds, woohoo!
Apparently some guy in California had complained about the
racist look of the START button.
W-11 will make it easier for 3rd party programmers to
write
apps, which will make great profits for Malware fighters.
Some of the annoyances in W-10 will apparently be fixed,
and just to keep you bitching, everything will be either
shuffled around or hidden.
It is not known yet, if W-11 requires new hardware, since
apparently you can downgrade W-10 to W-11 with a download.
Whether that slows W10 down some more is not known yet.
Have FUN!
