Baltimore Batman Streaks Again

Posted 2012-09-24 14:43:18 Views: 2,010

Mark Harvey, aka Baltimore Batman, who was banned from Camden Yards for streaking in Batman undies and a cape. Harvey has struck again, this time during last night’s Ravens game.

 

While he was wearing his signature skivvies, his cape has been upgraded, thanks to a very random and unlikely source. After seeing his video in April, Ellen DeGeneres sent Harvey a cape with her face on it to wear during his streaking endeavors.

“I don’t want to encourage behavior like that,” the daytime talk show host said on her show. “But I will enable it.”

 

Harvey wore that cape and painted “Don’t be a bully, be a superhero” on his chest, something he says is meant to promote anti-bullying awareness. He’s now a streaker with a cause.

 

“Bullying is a real problem in America, and I am here to stop it. We all have super powers and it’s time to put them to use,” Harvey says on his website, BiggerThanBullying.com. He’s selling T-shirts with the message and states that “by purchasing an item you will support a foundation that is fighting to stop bullying, child abuse, or both.” He doesn’t list specific foundations on the site, or exactly how much of the proceeds will be donated, so purchase at your own risk.

Darkness and Dawn: Classic Coney Island Souvenir

Posted 2012-09-24 10:10:22 Views: 1,993

“This is a souvenir of a visit to a Coney Island Bowery amusement called Darkness and Dawn. It was a Cyclorama, and had been created for an exposition in Omaha, Nebraska in 1898. It was brought to the Coney Island Bowery at the turn of the century. The souvenir is card stock, in the shape of a coffin, and has a skull and crossbones illustration at top. It also has a quote from “The Devil.” The same image and text is printed on both sides (shown). The attraction on the Bowery was destroyed by fire in 1903, and was rebuilt for Luna Park several years later.”

Cat Put to Sleep Instead of Getting Flea Bath

Posted 2012-09-24 09:48:31 Views: 2,106
A Massachusetts woman says her cat went to the veterinarian for a flea bath and was mistakenly euthanized instead.
 
Colleen Conlon of Gardner is grieving the loss of the cat, 8-year-old Lady, which she attributes to "negligence" by the vet.
 
Her son took Lady to the Broadway Animal Hospital last week and unknowingly authorized the cat to be put to sleep after he says he was handed the wrong forms.
 
He says he learned of the mix-up when he returned with a second cat and the vet asked him if he wanted to keep the bodies.
 
Conlon doesn't think the vet had any "malicious intent." But she's filed a complaint with the attorney general's office and plans to talk with the state Board of Registration.
 
The veterinarian didn't return a call from the Telegram & Gazette seeking comment.

MESSED UP!

 

WTF: Cat goes to vet for flea bath but gets euthanized.

Outlaw Smiling for NJ Drivers Licenses

Posted 2012-09-23 13:16:12 Views: 2,127

TO VELVET S. McNeil, a photograph of yourself carries a lot of weight.

 

It's a statement of your personality. It's how people will remember you when you're not around. It's your official image, your introduction to strangers, even, should you get kidnapped and the cops send your picture to all the newspapers and TV stations.


So she smiles when she's photographed.

"Your picture means a lot; it's who you are," said McNeil, 38, of Sicklerville, N.J.

 

So, when the manager of the Motor Vehicle Commission office in Cherry Hill told her Tuesday that she wasn't allowed to smile for her driver's-license picture, she balked - and left, saying that the office's staff couldn't adequately explain the smile ban.

 

"Why should we all look like androids, looking mopey? I know there are some people who don't have good driver's licenses, but I actually keep all mine," said McNeil, whose pleasantly smiling image adorns old licenses from the six states in which she's lived, as well as her debit and credit cards.

 

Turns out, the state really does prefer that its six million drivers scowl rather than smile for the camera.

 

In January, New Jersey launched new face-recognition software that forbids license applicants from smiling widely or making other exaggerated facial expressions that might confuse the computer.

 

No Smiling matter

You can not smile for your drivers license photo in New Jersey. The state that wants to be more and more like 1984.

The goal is to catch fraudsters. If a new photo, for example, matches an old one that carries a different name, a red flag goes up, and investigators step in.

 

"That could be someone trying to steal someone else's identity to get insurance benefits, or someone trying to get out of a DUI by getting a license under another name," said Mike Horan, spokesman for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. "This helps us weed out fraud."

If facial expressions vary greatly in photos of the same person, the software could incorrectly signal a problem, Horan said.

 

Slight smiles are OK. "Hey-I-won-the-lottery-type smiles" are not, Horan said. "To get an accurate photo, you don't want an excessively expressive face in the photo."

 

Pennsylvania and Delaware use the software, too. But "smile/no-smile is not a problem," said Jan McKnight, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokeswoman. "You can smile in Pennsylvania."  -- keep reading story
