Preds take the lead

As of last night the Nashville Predators have taken the lead in the NHL standings for the first time in franchise history. The Preds passed both Anaheim and Buffalo by one point with last nights win bringing their season total to 69. Let's hope they can keep the momentum and bring us to the play-offs. I have tickets for tomorrow nights game. Go Preds!

Teenage boys steal locomotive

Two teenage boys took a locomotive for a joy ride at 1:15am in Nelsonville, Ohio on Tuesday. Eric Burks, 16, and Zachary Walden, 13, ran away from a home for nonviolent delinquents and eventually hopped aboard the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway locomotive, shut down for the night. They went for about a dozen miles before voluntarily stopping the train and surrendering to police. From the Columbus Dispatch:

The 16-year-old, Eric Burks, told authorities that he comes from a family of railroaders and had worked with relatives in the rail yards in Lawrence County...

Patrolman John Meeks, of the Nelsonville Police Department, said the boys used a pipe to pry open a door, opened an overhead door and fired up the 1950s-vintage diesel engine.

They tried to head toward Athens, but the tracks dead-end nearby. They backed up, only to find the tracks to Logan blocked at the depot by passenger cars and a caboose.

The boys coupled the cars to the engine and, breaking locks off rail switches, maneuvered the cars onto a side rail and then headed out. - boingboing.com

F@*%*ing, Austria

Yes, there really is a place in Austria called F**king. In fact they liked the name so much, it seems that they also have several F**king roads. Which f**king road would you live on? - googlesightseeing.com

Check out the map of the roads here. I wanna live there just so I can tell people "just follow the f**king road" when they ask for directions. Thats just funny...

Paula Abdul wasted interview

I just thought this was funny. What's with drunk iceleb interviews latley? First Danny Devito and now this. Paula's PR team said her strange behaviour was due to technical difficulties with the show. Um... yeah sure.... "technical difficulties".
