You know, I'm sure we can come up with at least one person every day.
Now, for today's nominee!
'Pool got my daughter pregnant'
A Polish mum is suing an Egyptian hotel after claiming her daughter got pregnant using their mixed swimming pool.
The bizarre claim surfaced as Magdalena Kwiatkowska demanded compensation after her 13-year-old daughter came back from the family holiday expecting a baby.
Tourist authorities in Warsaw confirmed they had received the complaint which states that the girl conceived because of stray sperm in the pool.
"The mother is adamant that her daughter didn't meet any boys while she was there and is determined to go ahead with the case," said one travel industry source.
My second nominee is Gary. Gary is (was) this blogger's landlord, and he's made a blog describing Gary's "antics." I encourage you to read the whole thing (it's only 2 pages long): Gary: Landlord of the Flies.
Here are the first two posts:
--------- June 15: Hospitalization At around 2am tonight, one of my housemates was loaded on to a stretcher after a large quantity of alcohol mixed poorly with his medications. My landlord Gary, after yelling at him for an hour, had called the police, and when they arrived, they decided an ambulance was in order. Im going to try to keep the focus of this on Gary, my landlord/housemate.

June 17: The Arrest
Upon returning from work on Wednesday, I find 2 cop cars parked in the driveway. The police inform me that when James returned from the hospital, he discovered his TV, laptop, and iPhone were all missing. When asked about this, Gary claimed he had no idea where they were. The police then found the TV in Garys garage. He admitted to having stole the TV, but said he had no idea where the laptop or phone was. They found the laptop under his bed. Alright, I also stole the laptop, but I have no idea where the iPhone is. The iPhone was then found in his desk drawer.
This is the first, and a prime example, of Garys inability to plan for future events. One could assume that after finding the TV, they would likely continue to search. Unless you have thought of a really unique hiding place, just fess up, because theyre probably going to check your desk and under your bed.
Gary was handcuffed and I was asked if I would be posting bail for Gary. Having lived in the house for just about 2 weeks, I didnt feel that me and Gary were at that posting bail level of our relationship. Gary then spent the night in Kane County lock-up on charges of felony theft.
A Norwalk woman once recognized as "nurse of the year" was arrested Thursday after an investigation found that she's not really a nurse.
Betty A. Lichtenstein, who is also known as Betty A. Trudel, 56, of Norwalk, was arrested by inspectors from the chief state's attorney's Medicaid fraud control unit on a single count of illegal use of the title "registered nurse," six counts of second-degree reckless endangerment and one count of criminal impersonation.
According to the warrant for Lichtenstein's arrest, the investigation began after a patient at the Norwalk doctor's office for which Lichtenstein worked complained that she had acted unprofessionally.
An investigation then determined that Lichtenstein never had a license, yet had administered injections and given medical advice to the doctor's patients, according to the warrant.
The doctor's and his employees' belief that Lichtenstein was a nurse was reinforced when in November 2008 she was honored as "2008 Nurse of the Year" by the Connecticut Nursing Association.
The investigation determined, however, that the Connecticut Nursing Association does not exist and that Lichtenstein used $2,000 of her own money to stage the dinner, according to the warrant.
"The doctor, his staff and a number of his patients received a letter with the letterhead of the 'Connecticut Nursing Association,'" according to the warrant. "The letter stated there would be a special dinner to honor Betty Lichtenstein [and that she] was to receive a $10,000 personal award and an additional $10,000 was to go to the charity of her choice."
On Nov. 30, the award dinner took place at the Norwalk Inn, and the doctor for whom Lichtenstein worked was a guest speaker, according to the warrant. Forty-one dinners were served and the inn sent a bill for $3,211.11 to the Connecticut Nursing Association in care of Lichtenstein's employer's office. She then wrote a check for $2,168.02, according to the warrant.
Lichtenstein was arrested by Norwalk police in May on an unrelated charge of trying to illegally obtain prescription drugs and forgery. According to the warrant, she tried to obtain 96 Oxycodone pills with a forged prescription. She used a prescription slip from her employer.
The charge of illegal use of the title "registered nurse" is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Lichtenstein was released from custody without having to post bail and is due in court Aug. 26 in Norwalk.
How about the 48 yr old unidentified man from Florida who was arrested for kiddie porn... claimed that he didn't download that thousand + images to his computer. His CAT did it while he was at work. He just came home and found all this "strange material" on his computer after the cat was walking on the keyboard.
