LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- Las Vegas police said a man tried to skip out on a $4,000 restaurant bill then made a bomb threat at the Bellagio last week.

When asked directly if he placed a bomb in the casino, Cohen reportedly said, "There is a bomb," then repeated the word "bomb" multiple times.
Court records show Cohen is charged with communicating a bomb threat, theft and defrauding a proprietor. He's expected back in court on Dec. 1. 
 

So - Cohen said “I’m your man”?

This used shower curtain just posted for sale on local Marketplace.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity after seeing this, I googled "Jeff Goldblum shower curtain".  I feel like I have seen a portal into another dimension.

Also, would this be out of place or right at home in the domicile of one Mitch Cumsteen?

Soon, Surly may well be a vital natural resource.

Chinese scientists make eco-friendly plastic from salmon sperm

Quote

A new eco-friendly plastic made from salmon sperm has been invented by scientists in China.

Two short strands of DNA from the sperm were combined with a chemical from vegetable oil that binds them together. What this creates is a squishy material known as hydrogel.

From here the gel is then moulded into different shapes and freeze-dried to remove the moisture, which makes it solidify. Researchers have already created a cup, puzzle pieces and a DNA molecule from the eco-friendly plastic.

Though the team of Chinese scientists created their raw materials from salmon sperm, DNA carries the genetic code for every living thing on Earth. A study from 2015 estimates that there are around 50 billion tonnes of DNA on the planet.

That means we could technically make the plastic out of other sustainable sources such as waste material from crops, algae or bacteria.

Is this plastic better than other alternatives?

Plastic is a big problem for the environment as it is made from petrochemicals that require a lot of heat and toxic substances to manufacture. It also takes centuries to break down and very little is recycled - with most ending up incinerated or sent to landfill.

For that reason, a lot of research has been done to find alternatives which are less damaging to our natural environment.

Biodegradable plastics have already been created using materials like cornstarch and algae, but they require a lot of energy to make and can be difficult to recycle.

Dayong Yang and his team at Tianjin University wanted to create a material that solved these problems.

The creation of DNA-based plastic produces 97 per cent fewer carbon emissions than polystyrene plastics, they say. Dipping items created from the material into water turns them back into a gel that can be reformed into new objects meaning it is easy to recycle too. The plastic can be broken down by DNA digesting enzymes if it is no longer needed.

But the new material does have some limitations.

The fact that it can be recycled using water alone means that it would need to be kept dry. While waterproof coatings could be added, this would make it more difficult to recycle.

It could, however, be used for items like electronics that need to be kept dry anyway and some forms of packaging, the researchers believe.

A Florida woman was recently arrested after police said she offered oral sex for $25 and an order of Chicken McNuggets.

Normally, I'd say that's a pretty good deal, but w/ the pic attached, I'm guessing she was arrested for price gouging.

Maryland homeowners burned down their home while attempting to rid the house of snakes

211203170645-02-house-set-ablaze-attempt

A house of nearly 10,000 square feet in Dickerson, Maryland, an hour west of Baltimore, was engulfed in flames on November 23 when the homeowner tried to smoke out a snake infestation on the property, Pete Piringer, chief spokesperson for the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service, told CNN.
Piringer said snakes had been an ongoing issue for this owner and the previous tenant as well.

Coals were used as the heat source for the smoke, but they were placed too close to combustible materials, eventually setting the house on fire, Piringer explained.

The fire started in the basement and quickly spread through each floor, engulfing the multistory home, according to CNN affiliate WJLA.
Piringer told CNN that the owner was at home a few hours before, but luckily no one was there at the start of the fire. A neighbor passing by saw the smoke and called 911.
At around 10 p.m., 75 firefighters showed up at the scene to battle the blaze.
"There were no fire hydrants in the area," Piringer said. "Which isn't a problem because we're used to it, but we had to shuttle in water tankers."

It took a few hours for firefighters to get the fire under control, but it wasn't completely out until the next morning.
The damages will cost more than $1 million, Piringer said. The house was recently purchased for $1.8 million, according to public records.
The fire department deemed the incident an accident as there was no evidence, or intention, of starting the fire.

Piringer recommends using other ways to battle an infestation.
"There are animal services that can come out and make recommendations, or pest control, or an exterminator," Piringer said. "We recommend you have professionals deal with any pest control issue to help maintain the situation."
Being that there was no one home at the time, there were no injuries reported.
The status of the snakes is unknown, but as the home was left in rubble, it's assumed they no longer live there.

Came here to post this. Good job @RPM.  More than once I’ve read someone on here recommend burning things down to get rid of sneks. Only way to be sure, they say.

Florida man with drugs around penis denies they are his

Quote

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Florida authorities said they found cocaine and methamphetamine wrapped around a man’s penis during a traffic stop, but the man denied the drugs were his.

Pinellas County sheriff’s deputies said they stopped a vehicle driving without its lights on at 4 a.m. last Saturday. WFLA-TV reports the driver was arrested on charges of DUI and marijuana possession.

Authorities said they found a gun under the passenger’s seat while searching the car and discovered the drugs while searching the passenger.

The man said the drugs were not his, but didn’t say who the drugs belonged to, according to the arrest report.

what's it take to get a m'fn diapee changed around here

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10351231/Man-31-probation-faking-disabilities-carers-change-diapers-does-again.html

Quote

Deas told investigators that he had trauma during childhood and being treated like an infant brought him 'back to a time and place where he was at peace,' court records obtained by The Times-Picayune revealed. 

Deas told one woman, 20, that Cory needed a person to deal with him with 'tough toddler gloves'.

Pretending to be Cory, he sent text messages to the woman saying he needed to be potty trained, needed his 'diapee' changed and required a child's booster seat. 

The woman looked after a man she believed was Cory on ten occasions. She had changed his soiled diapers, according to court records obtained by The Times-Picayune.  

The documents state Deas became aroused during that time and would suck on a baby's pacifier when she performed diaper changes.

This is news?  Does the AG for a state have to be sober all the time?  The Facebook thing seems like a bad move but does she have the codes to the briefcase with the combination to the capitol building or something?

A now-deleted tweet from PBR reads "Not drinking this January? Try eating ass!"

When user @thruandthrudave responded "PBR or ass? Whats the difference?" the brand account responded, "ask your mom."

The tweets gained attention on Monday morning but soon disappeared. In a statement to FOX Business, a PBR executive shared that the company decided to delete the tweet.

"We apologize about the language and content of our recent tweets. The tweets in question were written in poor judgment by one of our associates."
