BAIL POSTED IN SMALL BILLS: Boys at North Marion High School in Ocala, Fla., knew the locker room was trouble: it was common for valuables and cash to disappear from lockers during gym class, and it had been going on for years. A student finally put his cell phone in an empty locker to record what happened while students were out, and allegedly caught the thief on video: Steven Simmons, a P.E teacher, who has 25 years of service in the district. The student took the video to sheriff's deputy Tasha Nix, the school resource officer, who confronted the 49-year-old teacher. Simmons allegedly confessed. He was arrested for theft and has resigned. School officials took quick action to ensure nothing like this would ever happen again -- by threatening to expel the student for "using" his cell phone at school against school rules. (Ocala Star- Banner) ...But backed off when parents with torches and pitchforks surrounded the administration building.

KING, POPE -- WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? A man identified only as "Mr. Pope" sued his ex-wife in Family Court in Queensland, Australia, to ask the court to force her to remove a bumper sticker from her car. It reads, "Men are idiots. I divorced their king!" Pope was concerned that it would affect how his 13-year-old daughter felt about him when she saw it on her mother's car. "However, for all I know this may be the way the parents have always talked to each other," said Judicial Registrar Ian Loughnan. "Their daughter might say that her parents are idiots." He threw the action out, and ordered the couple to split the A$1,000 in court costs. (Brisbane Courier-Mail) ...Truth is always a viable legal defense.

SYDNEY (Reuters) – A Persian kitten gave her owners the shock of their lives when she emerged from the washing machine, dizzy and bedraggled after surviving a full cycle.
Brendon Rogers, from Manly Vale, Sydney, said four-month-old Kimba, a white, fluffy kitten, must have climbed into the front-loader machine when the door was open and curled up on the dirty clothes -- unbeknownst to his father Lyndsay who turned the machine on for a cold wash.
They were both amazed when the cycle -- including a high level spin -- finished and they opened the door to pull out the clothes to find Kimba in the machine.
"We could hardly believe our eyes when she emerged, looking like a drowned rat," he told Reuters.
Although Kimba was alive she clearly needed help so they rushed her to the vet where she was put on an intravenous drip and treated for shock and hypothermia.
Her eyes were also badly affected by the detergent and needed treatment.
"It is just amazing that she survived but we reckon she's used all of her nine lives," said Rogers.

TICKET TO RIDE: Ashlee Lineberger, 31, of Englewood, Fla., sent in the fee to renew her driver's license. But when her new license arrived in the mail, she noticed her street address had been replaced -- with "EAT ASS" printed on the official document. Lineberger and her husband got the "runaround" from DMV officials on the phone, so they went to their local office -- where they were told they could get a new license if they paid another fee. They took the document to the media, instead. Embarrassed state officials called to apologize, and to offer a new license for no charge. "Imagine if I got pulled over by a cop and had to show this ID?" Lineberger said. "I probably wouldn't be getting out of that ticket." (WTVJ-TV Miami) ...Are you kidding? The cop wouldn't be able to stop laughing long enough to write it.
