Those new cell phones w/ camera's are becoming quite popular and I believe I've heard about a report or 2 where crimes were caught on the phone and the photos delivered to the policy who could make a capture based on it. |

I love that! And most people find a way to take their phone with them when they run off the beaten path, so to speak. j |

8 lbs dropped on someone's foot is not 8 lbs of pressure. I wondered if you'd notice this. But I think a stomp on someone's foot with an 8 pound shod foot would be more than 8 pounds of pressure, too, so the two inaccuracies cancel out. :-) Wendy |

I heard it only takes 20 pounds of pressure to tear off an ear. Grab ears, stomp on foot, drop to the ground. It shouldn't be hard to identify a limping suspect with no ears. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

It was broad daylight, with a lot of other people on the street. So I didn't feel very intimidated. Who else has a "naked man" story? I was running one day in a very posh neighborhood where the old Baton Rouge money folks live. A man in a high end Mercedes beckoned me over to the median in the boulevard to ask directions. I do not run with any grace or price as I am highly allergic but it was one those days when I was in the middle of multiple 12 hour shifts. Running was the best bang for the time I had. Being short winded, I kept going on and one about how to access the freeway but he just didn't seem to get that he was supposed to turn right at the corner and left at the light and the freeway would be right there. I was not really paying attention till I realized what he was doing with his hand. I just didn't know what proper ettiquette was so I simply took off flying. I wish that there was someone timing me that day because I bet I broke some records for speed!
