Cane's Corner 3/31/09




After a bit of a hiatus the Corner is back with those crazy news stories you never heard about..

A Kazakhstan woman claims that she is 130 years old! This would shatter the previous record for world's older person held by a Frenchwoman who died at 122 in 1997. Skeptics believe that she is unlikely to be 130 because her only living daughter is 76, meaning that she would have given birth at 54. Sahan Dosova showed AP reporters her passport and identity card which show her date of birth as March 27, 1879. I don't know about you but I'm certainly moving to Kazakhstan for some R and R with my man along with her

A 19-year old man was arrested in Harrisburg, PA while trying to rob a retired police chief at a police officers convention. John Comparetto was robbed at gunpoint while coming out of a bathroom at a convention of 300 narcotics officers from Pennsylvania and Ohio. The man is described as "probably the dumbest criminal in Pennsylvania". When leaving the courtroom the suspect commented "I'm smooth". This man earned a spot with an elite few.

Heres a lesson in driving drunk, a woman from Washington state was arrested for driving drunk THREE TIMES in THREE DAYS while on vacation in Wisconsin. What a vacation, the first arrest came when she was trying to drive out of a ditch with one shoe on. Her blood alcohol level of 0.21 was almost three times the legal driving limit of .08. A day later she was arrested after her car got stuck in the snow in a park that was clearly closed for winter. Don't worry I've already put in a call for her to get some counseling from another alcoholic.

You know that State Farm young drivers commercial featuring some tricks in T.V. magic, I love it especially the young kid at the end grabs his jacket on his way out to work. Well a Montana woman put her 12-year old daughter to the test by letting her drive the girls three younger siblings to daycare some five miles from their home. The mother let her daughter drive children whose ages range from 1 to 4 years old all because she was sick and on medication. The mother faces five criminal counts and a one-on-one session with Oprah and Dr. Phil for a "what-the-hell-were-you-thinking".
