767...This Is Why I Don't Hide Meat In My Pants

Norman Miller in the MetroWest Daily News yesterday had a story that gives credence to my long held view that hiding meat in my pants is not a good idea.

Last Friday night in Framingham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, the police were chasing an armed robbery suspect when their police dog's nose lost the plot when it was drawn to the scent of stolen raw meat stuffed in a homeless man's pants.

Bad luck for Edward Brown, a 48 year old who admitted that he had just lifted the meat from the Super Stop & Shop at about the same time a Shell was knocked over in the same neighbourhood.

Mr. Brown was charged; the armed robber was not caught.

251...All I Know Is That It Is Going To Cost More

Gas.

Shell is introducing a new type of gas.

The Ottawa Citizen online indicates that Shell and Ottawa-based Iogen Energy Corp. are partners in a plant that produces 40,000 litres a month of cellulosic ethanol from the non-food portions of plants. Shell and government officials including Transport Minister John Baird, were scheduled to launch the fuel Wednesday at a station on Merivale Road.

This gas will be a blend ofregular gas and 10 per cent cellulosic ethanol. This is the wave of the future and I am willing to wager that Shell and the oil companies will figure out a way to use this as an excuse to raise their prices.

Mr. Baird, instead of telling Toronto to f' off, why don't you tell Big Oil to f' off?
