NEWTON, Kan. -- Do you know who's living in your attic? One Kansas man discovered his attic was home for an intruder. Newton police said that a man would come and go from the homeowner's residence.He did that for about six weeks before being discovered. The uninvited guest apparently spied on the homeowner, tapped into the electricity and phone service, and even ate the homeowner's food."He noticed the cereal was running low and he couldn't understand. But now he knows why," neighbor Max Roberts said. "There's probably a good chance that 75 percent of the community is checking their attics right now," Detective Todd Hanchett said.Police said that the homeowner woke up Saturday night and discovered the intruder. He chased the man from the home. Police have not caught up with the intruder yet.Oh but the tales of Closet Gnomes dont stop there...Here are a few more!A stunned British man looked in his attic — and found a colony of Kosovoans living in the roof.The 12 illegal immigrants were sitting on mattresses eating sandwiches.

Walls had been knocked down between Lee Bradley’s home and two adjoining properties to create a living space for several families, with an electric light dangling from the roof.

Bradley, 33, closed the hatch and dialed 911. Police raced to his rented house and scrambled the force helicopter — but by the time they arrived the loft dwellers had gone.

Bradley, wife Caroline, and their four kids had just moved into the $970-a-month terraced home in West Bromwich, West Midlands.

“I decided to have a look in the loft space and popped my head through the hatch,” Bradley said. “There was a light dangling from the roof and about a dozen people — men, women, and a baby who started to cry when she saw me. I was scared and shut the hatch straight away.”

Police believe the fiddlers in the roof got access through an adjoining house that had been sublet.

CSI Yuma – Pigeon Poop Blamed in Awning Collapse

RUN! That bird just ate bran muffin crumbs!

Sheriff’s deputies in Yuma County are blaming pigeons for the partial collapse of a gas station awning.

The canopy at the Shell station in the foothills east of Yuma collapsed at midmorning Friday on top of a BMW and a Hummer, but no one was hurt.

Sheriff’s Maj. Leon Wilmot says 4 to 5 inches of pigeon excrement had built up on top of the awning. He says it’s likely that recent rains soaked the waste and the weight was too much for the structure.

With this next video I was a bit puzzled. I played it on the ol’ youTube hoping for a really bad singer–check. But then I realized it produced on so many other levels. Nerdy–Check. Wait… What is that distracting growth?

Who knew… Like Fire’s Hot!?

The Life of Tech Support

Ah the life of tech support. In a past (read current) life I experienced the daily tech support “challenge” first hand. This video hits home and really sums up the troubleshooting process. Only thing missing the simple question “has this ever worked?”

We have all had that moment… Do you stop and give up or push through? This is an inspirational tale of someone that did not let a few words, crack cocaine, or tone deafness stop him. My favorite part is when he gets his second wind at about 2:14.

Babies and Coke — Media says bad idea

Lately I am noticing a trend when it comes to nutritional news. Seems the media is fixated on how bad sodas are for the kids. In this story the child didn’t even have a drink—where’s the harm?

Honestly, what could go wrong?

Ok, so the 12 year old made me do the last post. To be honest I don’t think it will last much longer… Datagoblin just doesn’t have a soft spot in his heart for dancing lizards. So in my own special way, here’s me asking for forgiveness:
