Caught!
Here’s a close-up of the front page of the Lewiston Tribune (a newspaper in Lewiston, Idaho). Note the two pictures, which are for different stories: one of a guy making a Christmas sign, the other being surveillance camera footage of a thief. Do you see something odd that connects the two otherwise-unrelated pictures?

Luckily someone at the local police read the paper, put two and two together and made the arrest. The story is here.
(I have a question: Why didn’t the photo editor or layout people at the paper figure it out?)
Depending on your point of view, the lesson to be learned from this incident could be:
- When committing a crime, don’t wear clothing that would easily identify you.
- Sometimes the solution to a problem is to rearrange the given information.

I’m not the only person in the Accordion City blogosphere contributing content to the Canadian sci-fi channel, Space — local illustrator par excellence John “Robot Johnny” Martz (he’s also one of the folks behind the excellent blog Drawn!) did the promo animation for Space’s Christmas Superhero Marathon, shown below:

Well done, Robot Johnny!
I remember chortling at a remark in an old MAD magazine about hotels about the “sanitized for your protection” sash that they used to place across the toilet seat and the “sanitized for your protection” paper in which they wrapped the glasses. The article said that they were probably cleaned with the same cloth.
As the video below shows, that may not be far from the truth:

Wendy, if you don’t want to hate travelling more than you already do, please don’t watch this.
That’s a photo of me circa fall 1999 playing a thug for a film project of my friend Scott Watkins.
The Ginger Ninja pointed me to this Craigslist Toronto “help wanted” ad for an unusual one-shot job:
I’m looking for a polished, professional bodyguard for a one day gig. Someone similar to ex cia ,csis, fbi, or secret service to hire as my personal bodyguard for my wedding. You’ve all seen the movie “The Bodyguard”? Make it so and contact me.
