Via Drudge. Man In Superman Costume Attacks Motorists Attack Reportedly Leads To Street Brawl
Police say a 21-year-old man dressed as Superman attacked some motorists in Ann Arbor early Sunday. A group of men stopped their car to talk to some friends outside an Ann Arbor home when the alleged attacker jumped out from behind some bushes and into the vehicle, Local 4 reported. 'There's no escape now, Lex Luthor!'
"I guess this young man jumped in the back seat of the victim's vehicle and just started hitting him and when the victim attempted to call using his cell phone, (Superman) grabbed the cell phone and he stomped on it," said Sgt. Angella Abrams, of the Ann Arbor Police Department. The victims said when they got out of the car, people from the house party came toward the car, and a large street fight broke out, according to The Ann Arbor News. No one was fighting when officers arrived, but two witnesses were able to show digital pictures they took of the alleged attacker, police told the paper. Officers spotted the man in the crowd -- wearing a red spandex Superman costume -- and arrested him, the paper reported. "He was in costume, and it was a pretty terrible Superman costume at that," said Mark Majewski, who witnessed the incident. The motive for the attack was not known, according to police. I'd say it was because the freakin' guy's nuts.
The identity of the man wearing the Superman costume was being withheld pending possible charges of assault and battery.

A man was arrested on his 23rd birthday after a police officer saw him nude and covered with nacho cheese from a pool snack bar.
Where's the camera crew from "COPS" when you need them?
I've been nude, but I can't recall ever having been covered with nacho cheese...
Michael P. Monn was arrested early Sunday in the parking lot outside the pool.
An officer saw a nude man carrying a box of Frito Lay snacks and a container of nacho cheese run toward a Jeep in the lot and stopped him.
"You! With the hairy buttocks! Stop or I'll shoot!"
"The male had nacho cheese in his hair, on his face and on his shoulders," Maryville Police Department officer Scott Spicer reported.
I don't want to know where he was hiding the chips.
"The nude male had a strong odor of alcohol and was semi-incoherent."
We saw that one coming, didn't we?
I am so surprised! That's never happened before, has it?
Investigators said someone climbed an 8-foot fence, broke into the pool snack bar through a window, threw nacho cheese on a wall and scattered chips on the ground. About $40 in chips and $7 in nacho cheese were stolen.
Got drunk, got the munchies, etc...
... got arrested. Naked.
Monn was charged with burglary, theft of less than $500, vandalism less than $500 and public intoxication and was cited for indecent exposure. He was being held at the Blount County Jail in lieu of a $9,300 bond.
This'll look real good on your resume.

Frank G. ...did you have a nacho cheese "problem" too?
A prominent history professor twice condemned to death on blasphemy charges has been sentenced to three years in jail for insulting Islamic sacred beliefs, the judge in charge of the case said Tuesday. The defendant's lawyer said he would appeal.Hashem Aghajari, a professor at Tehran's Teachers Training University, had his death sentence overturned twice before the charges were reduced in a third trial earlier this month. Judge Mohammad Eslami said he issued his verdict Saturday and informed Aghajari's lawyer on Tuesday. He said the sentence also deprives Aghajari of his social rights for five years, meaning he cannot take official posts or compete in elections. Eslami told The Associated Press that he acquitted Aghajari of charges of propagating against the ruling Islamic establishment" and "spreading lies for the purpose of inciting public opinion." Aghajari's lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht, said the full sentence was five years, with two years suspended. Aghajari, who has already spent more than two years in jail, will serve just one year of the new sentence. "Aghajari is innocent and has to be acquitted. I will definitely appeal the sentence within the legal 20 days period," Nikbakht told the AP.
The charges stemmed from a June 2002 speech in which Aghajari said clerics' teachings on Islam were considered sacred simply because they were part of history. He was initially convicted on charges of blasphemy, insulting Islam and questioning Iran's clerical rule, but both death sentences were overturned by the Supreme Court after a public outcry. Earlier this month, he stood three days of open trial on amended charges that carried a penalty of one to five years imprisonment. The judiciary did not explain why the charges were reduced. The new verdict is widely seen as a compromise that saves Aghajari's life and at the same time avoids discrediting the Iranian judiciary. Aghajari used this month's trial as a platform to defend democratic reforms and denounce hard-line clerics who he said suppress freedoms in the name of Islam, comments that already cost him more than two years in jail. He firmly rejected charges that he insulted Islamic sacred tenants. Aghajari said during his trial that he defends "an Islam that brings about freedom and is compatible with democracy and human rights. I've opposed interpretations that justify suppression and dictatorship in the name of Islam." During his trial, Aghajari said he had "no hope" of justice and repeatedly accused judge Eslami of violating neutrality.

These guys consider that insulting? Hey, I can do better than that, without even trying hard...

Can't take part in those high quality Iranian elections for 5 years. Can he bear the loss?

this history professor is also a disabled veteran of the 80-88 Iraqi- Iran war. He is on record as saying that the people should not follow the clerics like monkeys. He is also, a veteran of the occupation of the US embassy.

DRUNKEN passengers often give air crews trouble, but Russia's leading airline today reported an 'unprecedented' reversal: a passenger was assaulted by intoxicated flight attendants. Heck, you've gotta be drunk to willingly fly on a Russian airline.
Two crew members on a domestic Aeroflot flight beat up a passenger who had complained that the flight attendants were drunk, airline spokeswoman Irina Dannenberg said. The passenger, identified only as A. Chernopup, was aboard a recent flight from Moscow to the Siberian city of Nizhnevartovsk, Ms Dannenberg said. Heck, you've gotta be drunk to willingly fly into Siberia.
Seeing that the crew were intoxicated and were not fulfilling their duties, Chernopup asked to be served by a sober and competent flight attendant, Ms Dannenberg said. He was then beaten up by two crew members. Vodka afterburners.

How did I guess that this incident took place in Russia before opening to the article? They beat up Churn-a pup 'cause this flight didn't have any sober, competent flight attendants on board. My,the demands that some people make!
