I have to agree with Tam on this one.

Holy Thorazine batman! I think there’s a spaceship hiding behind a comet that’s waiting for this guy.

The Lion Slipper Murderer
Allentown police caught this guy, who is charged with two counts of murder:
Torres was driving on Turner Street Friday afternoon when he was pulled over by police and arrested. He was wearing a hooded sweartshirt with a skull-head pattern on it, pajama bottoms and fuzzy lion-faced slippers at the time. He was still wearing the get-up when he was arraigned after midnight at Lehigh County prison.
Follow the link for the picture. I’m going to be, probably not the first to say, that this whole wearing pajamas in public fashion has now officially gone way too far.
Kinky Fetish Goes Horribly Awry
A Pennsylvania man finds himself suddenly faced with charges for killing his wife:
A kinky sex escapade ended this week with the electrocution death of a Pennsylvania woman and the arrest of her husband for manslaughter. According to cops, Toby Taylor, 37, first claimed that his wife Kirsten was shocked by her hair dryer. But he then admitted that the couple was “into weird sexual behaviors,” according to a probable cause affidavit. Taylor then explained that he hooks clips to his wife’s nipples and “plugs the cord into a electric strip” and shocks her. On Wednesday evening, Taylor said, Kirsten removed her clothes, attached the clips, and shocked herself. He then picked up the electric strip and shocked her several more times, adding that he had placed a piece of electric tape over her mouth during the jolts. After the last shock, Kirsten, 29, “fell over on to her face.” Taylor initially thought his wife was joking, but quickly realized she was unconscious. He then dressed her in preparation for driving to the hospital, but instead called 911 when she stopped breathing.
Ouch! He stands charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment. This lead to a discussion with Bitter as to whether justice is really served by charges here. If I were the DA for York County, I’d probably offer a plea to reckless charge in exchange for dropping the manslaughter, but most normal human beings are aware that hooking up someone else’s nipples to a power strip in all its 120V 60Hz 20 amp glory runs a severe risk of killing that person.
If you’re into kinky electrocution sex, get yourself one of these. While I’m sure that use will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty, it’s far less likely to kill, and it even seems to come in kinky sex toy-like colors.
Since it doesn’t appear this couple had any children (I’d hate to think of how you explain that “Daddy is hurting mommy” to a kid anyway), I think these two are great possibilities for 2008 Darwin Award winners.
UPDATE: Perhaps electrofetish people could use this peculiar antecedent of the taser.
Snowflakes in Baghdad
Well, I guess it’s not hell, but I think some people would probably say it is.
Politically Incorrect Ads
Politically incorrect ads from bygone times. Quite offensive to women.  It’s hard to believe anyone ever got away with this.
Public Safety Announcement
This Scumbag Literally IS a Turd
Apparently alligators in Florida think armed robbers car thieves are mighty tasty.
UPDATE: Apparently the reporter that wrote this doesn’t know what robbery is.
Bigfoot in Pennsylvania
The bigfoot folks are going wild over a sighting in Pennsylvania, which they suggest is a juvenile sasquatch. The Pennsylvania Game Commission says it’s a bear with a severe case of mange. Clearly this is a conspiracy by biologists to cover up the existence of the sasquatch!
Potato Suppressors
The tax on potatoes could be going up, to say, perhaps, 200 dollars? Anyone know if this actually works?
Killed By an Armless Man
I have to think that this guy is probably glad he’s dead. It would be pretty difficult to live this down:
An autopsy was planned Tuesday to determine what killed a Snellville man who died after being head-butted during a fight with a man with no arms.
No charges have been filed against the armless man.
I’m guessing the guy figured an armless man would be an easy target, and wasn’t expecting the armless guy to be the head butting world champion. I don’t know if there is a world champion for head butting, but if there isn’t, they ought to make one for this guy.
