Late Night Quickies


Granny’s' got a gun

A 92-year-old woman was shot to death Tuesday after she fired at three narcotics officers trying to serve a warrant at her house, officials said.

As the plainclothes Atlanta police officers approached the house about 7 p.m., a woman inside started shooting, striking each of them, said Officer Joe Cobb, a police spokesman. One was hit in the arm, another in a thigh and the third in a shoulder.






If the turban fits...

US Airways said Tuesday it is investigating the removal of six Muslim imams who were passengers on a Monday flight heading to Phoenix, Arizona.

The alert was raised after the men performed their normal evening prayers in the airport terminal before boarding Flight 300.

I'm sorry, but you guys scare us when you do stuff like that.







Great balls of rubber!

"We did a little bit of research on how big rubber band balls are, and realized there was one out there that was 3,120 pounds and we knew we could do it."

"The rubber bands ... sometimes they'll break. That hurts."


And ladies, he's single!






Gives a whole new meaning to the word "butthead"

A man who dresses up as a giant cigarette and uses hip-hop music to encourage children in Lynchburg and beyond to avoid smoking pleaded guilty Tuesday to bigamy. Phillip Dale Williams, 37, had as many as four wives at the same time.

Williams faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced March 9.


Think he'll get traded for smokes?

After all the controversy, riots and killings over those Danish cartoons. I figure they have a lot more to worry about than seats on a plane.

Okay, I'm a gun-totin' wild woman, but even I wouldn't shoot someone in my yard. If someone breaks into my house, I'll empty clips, cylinders, and chambers into them. But not in the yard. Not even if they're stealing my vehicle. Of course, I drive an old lady car that no self-respecting car booster would want. That always helps.
