  Cops Taser, Handcuff Rogue Emu September 22, 2009 An emu that clearly loved life in the fast lane caused havoc when it ran along a busy US highway. Police originally received calls from startled motorists who had spotted two of the bird-brained, er, birds hot-footing it around the state's I20 motorway and Highway 80 road. It took officers two days of searching before they found one of the traffic-dodging creatures near an entrance to the I-20 carriageway. The speedy animal was eventually surrounded by the authorities, who used a taser gun to subdue it before moving it out of harm's way. The emu is being kept at the Scott County Forest Coliseum sanctuary, presumably while police decide whether to charge the bird with Jay walking. For the original article, go here.

  Judge Exiles Dog September 25, 2009 A Pomeranian dog has been banished by a judge from the Colorado resort of Aspen after getting in trouble for biting and other bad behaviour. Municipal Judge Brooke Peterson told the dog's owner, Melinda Goldrich, that if the dog is seen again in Aspen, it will be rounded up by animal control officers and put to death. Goldrich was in court on Wednesday on a charge of keeping a vicious dog. An Aspen fitness club employee told The Aspen Times that the Pomeranian, named Gizmo, bit her in August while it was tied to a fence. The dog served 10 days in an animal shelter. Goldrich had been under a court order to not leave Gizmo unattended after the dog bit another person in February. She also was cited in 2006 for the animal's bad behavior. An out-of-town friend has offered to take the dog, it is reported. Pomeranians are long-haired and small, typically 3 to 7 pounds (1.5 to 3 kilograms). For the original article, go here.

  Dear Miss Smarty Pants, A fool in training and his pack of fools from school want to know what people from Oklahoma are called. You know New Yorkers are from New York, Texans are from Texas. So are they Okls, Oklies, Oklahomanians, Oklahomos? Or what? Thankee Dear Fool in Training and your posse pals, If you are the governor of Oklahoma, you call your constiutuants Oklahomans. If you are just a regular person that lives in Oklahama, you call yourself and all your neighbors Okies. If you happen to live in Muscogee, you are an Okie from Muscogee. If you live in New York, you call them "southerners". Miss Smarty Pants
