SCREW YOU!
Apparently there's a screw market. Who would've known. A German man would heist between 2,000 and 7,000 screws from a factory where he worked each night and then was selling them on an intenet site at a greatly reduced cost, lowering the value of screws. In all he stole over a million screws in 2 years.

ANOTHER STUCK IN CHIMNEY STORY
This time it's German Oktoberfest reveler. He got stuck in a chimney hanging head down for 12 hours while trying to climb into a friend's apartment. An 82-year-old janitor from the hotel next door eventually heard the man's calls for help and he was rescued at around 2 p.m. by fire brigade officers who knocked a hole into the side of the chimney to liberate him.

I NEED THIS JOB
A recent Accounttems poll tells us of some of the responses from prospective employees: "An individual told me he was allergic to unemployment." "One candidate said that we should hire him because he would be a great addition to our softball team." "A person said he had no relevant experience for the position he was interviewing for, but his friend did." "one person brought his mother to the job interview, and let her do all the talking."

STOP ALREADY
Oak Lawn, Illinois has installed second stop signs beneath the regular ones at 50 intersections with messages, including "WHOAAA" or "Stop....and smell the roses." "I thought it might make people smile and take notice," Mayor Dave Heilman said as he launched the campaign Friday. "You've got people on their cell phones, their BlackBerries and iPods while driving. Those are all distractions. Hopefully, when they see a sign they are not expecting it might make them stop." The new signs are red octagons, just like the real stop signs, but instead of just "Stop" they say "Stop...right there pilgrim" and "Stop...in the naame of love." Naame? Think of the drawn-out pronunciation in the hit by the Supremes.

COPS HAVE LITTLE TO GO ON
Someone is either too cheap to buy his own toilet paper or planning a big prank. Fond du Lac County Executive Allen Buechel said someone has been stealing toilet paper from the men's public bathrooms at the Fond du Lac City County Government Center since June. Buechel suspects the person comes in once or twice a week about midday and gets about six rolls a week from dispensers. Some rolls weren't even full, he said. The thefts haven't been a big loss. "We don't buy the best toilet paper," Buechel said.

SMASHING PROPOSAL

He also attached a large stuffed ring, with fabric diamond to the car. She said yes! He did give her a real diamond in pit row.

USELESS TRIVIA:

This is the month we celebrate Halloween. It is on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. It was originally a pagan holiday, honoring the dead. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago.

Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.

Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.

Jack o' lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY IS COMING
Put your own cares on hold for one day to care for someone else. Now entering its 17th year, the nation's largest single day of volunteering, Make A Difference Day inspires 3 million people to touch the lives of an estimated 20 million others on the fourth Saturday of each October. This year, Make A Difference Day is Oct. 27.

THE NOT SO SAINTLY NUNS
A Bari, Italy convent is being shut down after the 3 remaining nuns couldn't get along, even coming to blows in their disagreements. Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri tried to reconcile the nuns but finally decided in late August that they had "clearly lost their religious vocation" and asked the Vatican for permission to close the convent.

THAT'S SOME GOOD SCOTCH
A 157-year-old whisky was sold for more than 59,200 dollars Friday, setting what is thought to be a world record auction price for a bottle of Scotch.

LAMBCHOP LIVES ON
Mallory Lewis is doing her mother's work. She is the daughter of Shari Lewis, who, with puppet Lamb Chop, entertained baby boomers and beyond (Shari died in 1998). Mallory performs with Lamb Chop but also pursues her own interest in childhood education. With a series of DVDs now in stores, Phonics 4 Babies, she hopes to give today's children a running start at learning language.

MONKEY TERRORISTS
Cambodian police have put a 250-dollar bounty on the heads of several monkeys who have been terrorising tourists at a key temple in the capital and destroying nearby residents' laundry. Authorities tried several times to get the unruly monkeys to eat eggs laced with sleeping pills, but had always been outsmarted. 3 monkeys in particualr are being sought being called ringleaders.

BLIZZARD BABY BOOM
Here in Colorado we got hammered last winter by a huge blizzard. It's now nine months after back-to-back blizzards stopped just about everything in much of eastern Colorado. People had to do something to beat the cold. Avista Adventist Hospital, north of Denver, has even printed up blizzard-baby T-shirts for newborns. Ricky Lee Romero, born Tuesday, has one. Dad Randy Romero says he and his partner just cuddled up to get warm and this happened. Some hospitals report 20% increase in births over the year before.

Macon was the birthplace of the modern kazoo, invented in the 1840's by a former slave and a German-American clock maker.

USELESS TRIVIA:
The symbols + (addition) and � (subtraction) came into general use in 1489.

Scottish electrical engineer John Logie Baird (1888-1946) is generally recognized as the pioneer of television.

"Halo 3" set a first-day-of-sales record by selling $170 million worth of games.

Despite the fact that the Second World War ended in 1945, it wasn't until 1954 that rationing in some form came to an end in Britain.

When Spain declared war on the U.S. in 1898, the U.S. in turn declared war on Spain but backdated the declaration by three days so it would look more heroic to have declared war first.

The cello's real name is the violoncello.

In England, the term "blind road" means a cul-de-sac or dead-end street.

The gray wolf is the largest wild dog alive today. As an adult a gray wolf can weigh up to 176 pounds

Did you know in Samoa, Fiji and other island paradises, shells traditionally have been used to communicate danger, summon warriors to battle---and to make music! In fact, conch shells---also called "trumpet shells"--are considered the world's first musical instrument! And they are still used in Japan by Shinto priests to call the faithful to prayer, in Hawaii to herald the sunset and throughout the South Pacific to accompany songs and dances! To make a shell instrument of your own, just file off the end of a "trumpet" shell--and blow!

HERE'S A GUINESS RECORD WE SUPPORTThe world's largest bikini photo shoot ever! 1,010 bikini clad women gathered together on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. What's even better is that the record photo shoot ws organized by Cosmopolitan.

SOMEONE STOLE HIS BIKE
Normally if we told you that Lee Simmons had his bike stolen you might not have raised an eyebrow. Lee of Barnsley in the UK had peddled his bike 5,000 miles across the world, leaving it in many places. It wasn't until he got home that someone broke into his grandfather's garage and made away with the memento: "I am so disappointed I got all that way and the bike gets stolen in my home town by someone who hasn't got a clue what it means to me."

ASTHMA CURE?
David Armour's mother, in Scotland says that the 13 year old had such severe astma that he wheezed all the time. He's fully recovered now and his mother attributes that recovery to two years of dedication to playing the bagpipes and the breath control that requires. (Now we can only hope there's a cure for bagpipe playing.)

PAY THE FINE
She checked out. No completely checked out the book and everything else. Elizabeth Schaper's 87 year old mother passed away this month. Mrs. Schaper went to return a library book in Harrison, New York the elder woman had checked out. The man behind the library counter told her of the 50-cent fee. She said, "I told him that maybe he didn't hear me right, that my mother had just died, otherwise I'm sure that she would have returned it on time. His only reply was that, 'That will be 50 cents.'" A couple days after the incident another library employee called to apologize and offered to return the fine she had paid.

NOTE TO SELF: HOW TO STOP A STAMPEDEING HORSE
Bite it's ear. Oklahoma City Blazers hockey coach Doug Sauter traded his skates for a cowboy hat at the Oklahoma State Fair. He's credited with preventing a stampede by biting a runaway Belgian draft horse on the ear. The animal had broken free and was spooking the other horses. Sauter says if you bite hard enough a horse won't move. So, he grabbed an ear and chomped down.

RACE SPECIFIC SHOE FROM NIKE
The Air Native N7 has a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look. Nike says it's the first time it has designed a shoe for a specific race or ethnicity. Nike designers and researchers found that in general, American Indians have a much wider and taller foot than the average shoe accommodates.
The Air Native will be distributed solely to American Indians. Tribal wellness programs and tribal schools will be able to buy the shoe at wholesale price and then pass it along to individuals.
Nike says all profits from the sale of the shoe will be reinvested in health programs for tribal lands.

NO MORE NAKED MOUNTAINEERING ON EVEREST
Local authorites in Nepal are cracking down on dis-respectful displays on the world's highest peak. Last year a local climber sparked outrage after he claimed the world's highest display of nudity when he stripped and stood naked for several minutes on the 8,848-metre (29,198-foot) summit. And earlier this year, a Dutchman attempted to set a bizarre record by being the first to scale the peak while wearing only shorts. The joke among many Nepali mountaineers now is that the only record left to be set on the mountain is giving birth at the summit. (O sure give someone ideas)

BIG MAC MUSEUM
Yep it exits. The Big Mac, arguably McDonald's most famous sandwich, was first served by its founder Jim Delligatti 40 years ago. To mark that lucrative feat, the Big Mac Museum Restaurant has opened in North Huntingdon, Pa., just 40 miles north of where the first double burger, triple bun sandwich was served in Uniontown for 45 cents. The museum has it all: the world's largest Big Mac--14 feet tall and 12 feet wide--a bronze bust of Delligatti, a high-tech global Big Mac map and wallpaper peppered the ad "two-all-beef-patties-special sauce-lettuce-cheese-pickles-onions-on-a sesame seed-bun." North Huntingdon is about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Kobe beef is world-famous for its flavor, although chances of finding any outside Japan are almost nil. A few restaurants in the United States import the rare commodity, charging more than one hundred dollars for a 16-ounce, one-inch-thick steak.

AHOY MATEY'S WELCOME TO AUDIOPROS PREP
It's Talk Like A Pirate Day. It all started back in the 1990s as a cult joke between two American friends -- John "Ol Chumbucket" Baur and Mark "Capn Slappy" Summers. Click for the website: http://talklikeapirate.com/

Basic Pirate Lingo to get you started:

Ahoy! - "Hello!"
Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"
Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."
Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."
Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!

Mars says it will continue to use 100 percent cocoa butter in its U.S. chocolate products. The announcement bucks an industry campaign to allow cheaper vegetable oils instead.
Manufacturers already can use vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter. But they are not allowed by the government to call it chocolate. Food industry groups say the change, which would save money for manufacturers, would allow more flexibility and innovation.
The president of Mars Snackfoods says the company could have saved millions by going along with the move. But, he says, allowing vegetable oil would have diluted the quality of its chocolate

BEHIND THE MUSIC

Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey (1975). The mystery: A winter storm leads to the death of a horse and a girl. Were they real? Is the narrator haunted by their ghosts?
The real story: This classic has enjoyed a rebirth, thanks to recent exposure on The Late Show with David Letterman. Murphey's grandfather told him stories about a ghost mustang that jumped off a cliff to avoid being captured. The song-writer later had a dream about a ghost horse, leading to inspiration. "I woke up at 3 a.m.," says Murphey, whose new album, Heartland Cowboy, includes two new versions of the song. "I was in a sleeping bag on the floor. I started writing it down on a yellow pad." These days, the song-writer keeps a pad by his bed to jot down his dreams.

Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins (1972). The mystery: About to become a father, the narrator is blissful but poor. Was the impending child real? And what happened to him? The real story: Loggins wrote Danny's Song about his older brother, Danny, who had fallen in love. "He was having a baby, and he wrote me a letter about it," says Loggins, who's latest album is How About Now. "It was probably the happiest time in his life. A lot of the lines in that song were taken straight from the letter." The boy, Colin, is now grown, lives in New England, and has a CD coming out this fall. Danny, who went on to become a successful record company exec, is retired now.

SAY IT IN PLAIN ENGLISH
A British group has launched a campaign to get rid of "obvious" signs that pepper the countryside, like, "Don't commit crime". "They assume a lack of intelligence on the part of the reader. 'Do not commit crime. Pay for your fuel' is hardly a deterrent to a criminal who has every intention of driving off without paying." Here's some others the Plain English group found particularly offensive:
"May irritate eyes" -- on a can of self-defence pepper spray;
"Do not open door while airborne except in emergency" -- on emergency exit doors in planes;
"Removing the wheel can influence the performance of the bicycle" -- from a Dutch bicycle manual;
"Do not iron clothes on body" -- from packaging on a steam iron.

SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE
This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School ( California )staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes. The outgoing message: _____________________________________________________________
"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:
* To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
* To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2
* To complain about what we do - Press 3
* To swear at staff members - Press 4
* To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5
* If you want us to raise your child - Press 6
* If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone -Press 7
* To request another teacher, for the third time this year -Press 8
* To complain about bus transportation - Press 9
* To complain about school lunches - Press 0
* If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!
*If you want this in Spanish, you must be in the wrong country.

MY SAND CASTLE'S BIGGER THAN YOURS
Ed Jarrett, from Casco, Maine, said the 43-foot castle built in June in Myrtle Beach failed to follow Guinness World Records guidelines that ban using machinery and require the structure to be taller than it is wide. "Myrtle Beach doesn't meet the criteria," Jarrett said. "You can't just pile up a bunch of sand, build a small castle on top of that pile, and call it a record." Myrtle Beach officials say they permission to stray from the guideline from Guinness. No word from Guinness on the controversy.

SURFING RECORD

TOO MANY TWINS

THE ROLLING ROADBLOCK
3 truckers in Oregon heard about a high speed chase on I-84. When they saw the offending car coming their way at 100 MPH they formed a rolling roadblock and hemmed in the driver, eventually slowing to 5 MPH. The desperate driver bailed and tried to make a run for it, but cops grabbed him.

PONYTAIL THIEF
Indonesian police grabbed a suspect in the act after he snipped a woman's 16 inch ponytail while on a bus in the capital of Jakarta. Apparently he had done it several times before. Why? He used the hair to create key chains and sold them for about a buck a piece.

BRIEFCASE THIEF FORGETS SOMETHING
A German thief rummaged through a stolen briefcase, but missed the best part. 2 envelopes in plain site, filled with cash. $13,000 in cash to be exact. "I think they'll be annoyed when they find out," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Dusseldorf. Ya think?
