I’ve made my first Xtranormal.com movie (it only took about 20 minutes, which is quick considering it is the first time I have used it, my next one will be even quicker).

It is a quick presentation about Linux. You can see it here:http://www.xtranormal.com/watch?e=20090220104647555Gary

Frozen chicken brings cafe thief undone

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

A thief who used a frozen chicken as a tool to break into a cafe was caught after he cut his wrist and was forced to phone an ambulance, Australian police said Wednesday.

The man stole the chicken during an earlier break-in at a butcher’s shop in Macksville, north of Sydney, but came off second best when he tried to use the frozen bird and some rocks to break into a cafe, slashing open his wrist.

The 20-year-old man dialed an emergency 000 number to call an ambulance and was arrested shortly after being treated by paramedics, he said.
