Suspect has "bad attitude and a loincloth" (WTF?)
St. Clairsville, OH police had a bit of a shakeup this week when they received a disturbance call. Suspect was described as wearing a loincloth.
I've always found that it's better to have a positive attitude when wearing a loincloth. After all, if you're going to look ridiculous, you might as well embrace it!

American Community Insurance's "Coverage on Demand" lets its policyholders contract typhoid fever and dole out the dollars for catastrophic coverage after the fact.

How Much Is That Wallaby in the Window?
It's clear. We should all be terribly afraid of an 18-inch tall Roo when he's on the loose.Exotic dancers? Okey dokey.
Exotic animals? Oh, hell no.
Don't get me wrong---I'm all for exotic things, but the City of Wichita begs to differ.
Joe Freed, a resident of Wichita, Kansas, has prompted the City to consider a potential ban on wallabies as pets after his 10-month-old pet wallaby sprung itself from its domestic pokey last week and hopped-off on a city excursion.
Ownership of an exotic animal in Wichita is a ticketable offense, but there's currently no verbiage that addresses marsupials. (clearly an oversight on the City Council's part) The Tammar Wallaby (native to Australia) ain't no pound puppy, though --- with a price tag of $1000 to $5000 each, I think Mr. Freed should keep a better eye on his companion. I mean, I have 2 cats from a shelter in Japan that cost me $40, and I freak out when I can't find one for an hour.
