Germany: This is not a crime, but we think that you should know about this. It is 92 years since the guns stopped firing in World War I,but we learned in October 2010, that the war has come to an official end. Yes, Germany has made its final reparation payment of $94.4 million to Belgium and France, as required by the Treaty of Versailles.
So Germany was not a deadbeat after all! Who knew?

Marion County, FL: A Florida grandmother tried to avoid a DWI arrest by offering to make a sandwich. “come on now, I’m a grandma. Can’t you do something for me since I’m not that bad,” Elise O’Conner, 65, allegedly told sheriff’s deputy Calvin Batts. “I could have brought you back to my house and made you a grilled cheese sandwich.” The deputy declined the offer.
If he went home with her he might have had to bite off more than he could chew!
