"What you conducted in your chambers, Judge, was the equivalent of Iran leading UN weapons inspectors around the country taking them to places where the illegal activity was not occurring."--Florida lawyer Jack Thompson, decrying the ruling by Judge Ronald Friedman that allowed the company Take Two to ship the controversial video game Bully.

Unfortunate criminals of the week: A couple of teenagers in Omaha tried to rob a 68-year-old man, figuring they'd get some money without a fight. Boy, were they wrong.

Monkey business: When the fire alarm was pulled at a great ape research center in Des Moines recently, officials were suprised to find out that one of their bonobos did it.
