Osama Rejected For Dream Job

SYDNEY-A dream job looking after a tropical island in Australia has attracted over 11,000 applicants — including Osama bin Laden who failed to make the shortlist.

A spokeswoman for Tourism Queensland said the group had received over 11,000 video applications since advertising the A$150,000 ($96,000) “best job in the world” as caretaker of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

One of the applications was a 30-second prank video showing the world’s most wanted man, with nonsensical sounds dubbed over his real voice.

Using subtitles, bin Laden argues his case for the six-month contract, describing himself as “outgoing,” “familiar with sandy areas” and experienced with “large scale event coordination.”
He lists his interests as arts, crafts and renovating.

Renovating … is an interest!?

The Macomb Daily reports the teen had vanished Friday after appearing in juvenile court in Mount Clemens on a probation violation.

Sheriff’s deputies searched for about an hour until a security officer became suspicious when he saw a picture that had fallen to the ground outside judge’s car.

A deputy checked the car and found the boy in the trunk.

Gives a whole new meaning to “cramming” facts for your trial.

UK milkman delivered cannabis with bottles of milk

LONDON -A British prosecutor says an elderly milkman supplied customers with cannabis as well as bottles of milk.
