If You Were Wondering What Robert E Lee Is Up To

It seems he is trying to help the South rise again.

It seems the rears that this Lee — of the 8000 block of Creighton Parkway in Mechanicsville — tried guarding were not among his assigned duties as an assistant manager at the Virginia Center Commons Sears in March 2006.

No, the rears in question were trying on bathing suits in the ladies’ dressing room, above which Lee had taken up a scouting post. The action has already earned Lee two convictions for peeping.

Now Lee’s being sued for $2.7 million — that’s federal currency, not Confederate bonds. The facts: One of Lee’s victims, a pre-pubescent girl, happened to glance up to notice Lee watching her through the ceiling tiles and reported it to store officials.

After Lee surrendered to Henrico Police, investigators discovered the Sears manager had created a makeshift masturbatorium from a service platform just above the ladies’ dressing rooms.

It appeared to investigators that the prefab peeping hutch had been in use for quite some time, the victim’s lawsuit alleges, and that Lee admitted to watching the girl and her mother trying on bathing suits.

“During the search of the room, police officials recovered sexually explicit magazines and seminal fluids,” the suit says.

If You Notice A Foul Stench In Bonn, Germany

Blame the plants.

University botanists announced on Friday the Titan arum, also known as the “corpse flower,” had bloomed for the first time since 2006. Bonn’s plant won itself a place in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2003 after unfolding a blossom 306 centimetres high. It then caused another botany sensation in 2006 after shooting three buds instead of the usual single bloom out of its then-120 kilogramme tuber.

The flower’s characteristic stink of rotting meat – noticeable as far as 400 metres away – attracts flies that then spread its pollen.

But visitors who want to smell the 2.12-metre flower, a native of the Sumatran rainforest, should go soon, garden supervisor Markus Radscheit told The Local. The distinctive smell will dissipate once the flower switches genders from female to male late Saturday morning. Switching sexes during the flowering period prevents the plant from self-pollinating, Radscheit said.

“It probably will start smelling late tonight, at approximately 10 pm onward,” Radscheit said. “It’s when the pollen is ripe.”

If You Want To Know Vladimir Putin’s Response To The Allegations He Is Smitten By A Young Femal Gymnast

He denies the relationship.

“In what you said, there is not one word of truth,” Putin said when asked about the reports by a journalist at a news briefing with Italy’s Prime Minister-elect Silvio Berlusconi.

Putin, 55, has cultivated a tough-guy, manly image during his eight years in the Kremlin, posing for photos aboard fighter jets, firing weapons, fighting black-belt judo and fishing bare-chested in the Siberian wilderness.

If You Try To Kidnap An Alligator

Do better than these geniuses.

Daytona Beach Shores Police Officer Mike Schoenbrod says he was patrolling the Congo River miniature golf course early Thursday morning, when he noticed the teenagers had climbed into the alligator pool. Schoenbrod says the men were trying to lure a gator out of the pool with palm frond and duct tape.

The teenagers ran when they saw Officer Schoenbrod, but were caught a short time later.

Police say Jesse Ramos, 18, George Grampp, 18, Craig Devries, 19, Eric Tatki, 19, and Thomas Shaughnessy, 19, are all students from Embry Riddle University in Daytona Beach

If Your Toilet Explodes On You

This person can tell you how to survive the explosion.

Richard Szymanski said he was using his son’s toilet at 69 Carlton St., Johnson City, when steam started coming out the toilet after he flushed. Before he could stand up the toilet shot out hot water and he was thrown a few feet into a shower wall.

“It was kind of hot there for a minute,” said Szymanski.

Szymanski said he was a little dizzy, but he didn’t think he was seriously injured. That’ was fortunate, considering he has stitches on his head from the removal of a cancerous tumor on Tuesday, he said.

If You Want A Reason Why You Should Avoid Drinking To Excess

This story is what you need.

The judge referred to Mitchell’s long history of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as self-harm, and to his mental health problems. Mitchell also had a criminal history and had been given many chances to rehabilitate himself over the years.

Father Chris Riley, founder of Youth Off the Streets charity, gave evidence of trying to help Mitchell, describing him as a “role model” when not consuming alcohol.

“… The offender has had many chances to reform and was provided with the extraordinary generosity and concern of Father Riley resulting in the opportunity to find assistance from a practitioner in the United States,” the judge said.

“I accept that he is remorseful, not only for the death of a person to whom he had shown kindness on occasions, but also for again allowing alcohol to affect his behaviour.”

If Your Coworker Stabs You In The Back

Try to seek medical attention.

The newspapers Komsomolskaya Pravda and Gazeta both reported the case of a factory electrician in the town of Vologda, north of Moscow, who was stabbed by the building’s security guard as they were having a drunken argument.

Passing out at the factory, the man, Yury Lyalin, 53, awoke the next morning and attempted to resume his work duties, but was sent home by his superiors due to his inebriated state. No one noticed the 15-centimetre (six-inch) blade stuck between his shoulders.
