Man Goes Deposit Box Fishing

A South Carolina man has used his fishing powers for evil by trying to catch something from a night deposit box. Fortunately for First Citizen’s Bank, his deposit bags got away. From the article: "Employees of the First Citizen's Bank on Columbia Road told investigators that when they retrieved the night deposit bags from Thursday's drops, they discovered one bag sported a fishing hook. Some fishing line dangled from the hook. Two more hooks were found in the deposit box along with a putty-like substance that may have been used in lieu of a fishing weight, investigators say. The bank's security tape shows an individual outside the bank at about 4:29 a.m. Friday." Sounds like a job for the Master Casters.

The link is broken, but http://thetandd.com/articles/2010/03/31/news/doc4bb28b1e4aec7913713205.txt [thetandd.com] works.

I had no problems with the original link.

Interesting that the Web site uses .txt file extension which is odd.

DNA test and finger print residents of city

"It's under investigation," said Capt. Ed Conner of the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety. "We'll be looking at the evidence to see if we can put a face with the image on video."

Based on the image of the perpetrator [thetandd.com] shown on the Web site, I'd say the person is between about 15 to 80 years of age, is not bald, and wears clothes. I'm sure the police will DNA-test all residents of the area that match that description.

There's nothing nerd-worthy here

So, why is this article on /. ?

Re:

[CambodiaSam]

It's idle. The editors seem to think that their opinion of what is interesting will match the reader's.

Re:

God, I'm so sick of these moronic comments. Don't like the article? Don't FUCKING read it!

How will you know if you like the article until you read it?

How will you know if you like the article until you read it?

How will you know if you like gay anal sex with a donkey until you try it?

Some things, you just know ...

Re:

[JWSmythe]

    Now I'm curious. When you went to try it, how did you know the donkey was gay?

    No. Wait. Don't tell me. I really don't want to know the answer. Some curious questions are better left ignored.

Re:

[tomhudson]

I just assumed the donkey must be gay - I heard the Pope [slushdot.com] saying he was "going to ride his ass" ...

Re:

    Reference to beastiality, homosexuality, and bashing Christianity, all in one line. I'm very proud of you. :) I can't even attempt to better that one.

Re:

[tomhudson]

Unfortunately, I have to take a back seat to the Pope on the whole "destruction of Christianity" thing - he's doing such a great job at it ... must be that Nazi^WTeutonic efficiency thing he's got going. Hey, maybe we can get him to go pay a visit to North Korea, or the Taliban ... (I suspect there are many who will support such a move).

She meant spinach, and I refused to eat it. And it turns out I was right - spinach is very LOW in iron. It turns out that a decimal point error was propagated for decades [toolbox.com], and that the "spinach is high in iron and good for you" speeches were wrong.
