Other Crap

Truly "other crap" ... Las Vegas city officials have made it illegal to sleep within 500 feet of shit.

• The best part of the story: they admit it was a mistake, and here's how they plan to fix it: "City Attorney Brad Jerbic says the council will consider a revised version of the ordinance that shortens the distance between sleeper and deposits." ... "OK, make it 400 feet. Problem solved."
• Wanted: Johnny "The Garrote" Mancini, for murder, arson, and sleeping 274 feet from doo-doo.
• Those Vegas cops must have some mighty long and accurate measuring devices.
• Does it count if you're sleeping and somebody else in the house forgets to flush?
• So if the police want to arrest you, all they have to do is "plant" some poop near your sleeping quarters?
• Seriously, are you kidding me?" asked Lee Rowland, public advocate for the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada. "I don't know how on earth a police officer would determine whether someone has knowingly set up shop next to" urine or feces." Another ordinance making it illegal to feed homeless people in parks passed July 19.
