Whilst the list seems eclectic, it has all the components needed for building a Warp Drive Flux Compensator.

The truth is out there!

Golfers help police by trapping suspect in portable toilet

https://www.azfamily.com/2023/11/17/gol ... le-toilet/

GLENDALE, Wis. (WISN) - Police in Glendale, Wisconsin, caught a suspect in an unlikely hiding place.

At around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, a speeding and swerving SUV slammed into cars on Port Washington Road.

The driver blew through traffic barrels before hitting an Interstate 43 guardrail.

Four people jumped out with two of them sprinting across the freeway.

Ilissa Boland and her friends were golfing at Lincoln Park when they heard the commotion.

“We were on the third hole, and we heard a crash,” Boland described.

The group said they saw the two suspects making a run for it.

“There’s a smaller child that is heading towards the porta-potty, and I’m thinking there’s no way he’s going to go in there,” Boland said.

But Boland said he did, so one of her friends did something about it.

“Adam had gone over and tried to see if he was still in there, and then decided to push the porta-potty over, trapping him inside,” Boland said.

Boland started recording as police closed in, surrounding the portable toilet with guns drawn.

The suspect could be seen climbing out and surrendering.

“Adam said that once he pushed it over, it was really smelly, and he could hear the sloshing, so I can just imagine the stench,” Boland added.

Other golfers were stunned at what they were seeing.

“There was two people decided to wait for an hour instead of going off at their tee time just because they were fearful,” James Meyer described.

It was a swift arrest for Glendale police officers, but likely a smelly ride in the squad car.

“It was a fantastic opportunity to be in the right place at the right time, even though it was a really crappy situation for the kid,” Boland said.

Glendale police arrested two of the four suspects that ran from the car. It’s not clear where the other suspect was located.

Police said they are still investigating.

Sounds like he was really in the merde.

BBC Breakfast today. Naga Munchetty on being told a vast lake of magma is a few metres below the surface of an Icelandic town: "And is this a cause for concern ?"
On being told yes, it is.
"And is there any way of calming the volcano down ?"

Legend has it, I believe, that sacrifices of a few Virgins may do the trick!

However, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the aforementioned sacrifices had any effect on the eventual outcome!

Further comment I leave it to others, who may know more about Nordic and such other cultures as to 'who dun what' back in those days.

I don't know about Iceland, but I can see one reason why that wouldn't work here (if we had any volcanos.)

In the days when I used to watch BBC Breakfast (eg the days of Bill Turnbull), it always struck me that Ms Munchetty was not the sharpest knife in the draw. I imagine she is there to fill a quota, so to speak, and is the most suitable of those who were interviewed. Her male equivalent is Jeremy Vine.

OK Tango15, No need to rub it in!! Guess that she does fit the 'quota'... :D

But did she really say

"And is there any way of calming the volcano down ?"
Further comment really does escape me.....

That's an insult to a couple of quite useful pieces of wood.
