An outdoor art business in Edinburgh, Ind., has been ordered to move its cement copies of world-famous statues – including the Venus di Milo and Michelangelo’s David – out of public view. Seems the unclad figures are obscene under state law.

A lawyer representing the owners disagrees, noting, “If that were the case, most Renaissance art would have to be put into back rooms or hidden.”

A mugger in San Diego couldn’t do anything right. First, he grabbed a plastic bag from a woman out walking her dog – and discovered he had snatched her pet’s poop.

Then, pointing a pistol at the dog, he demanded money, and pulled the trigger when the woman insisted she had none.

The gun didn’t fire and the mugger fled.

A woman in Kettering, Ohio, driving to a hospital to have her baby, stopped at a gas station and delivered it herself in her van.

Then she continued on her way – naked below the waist, with her newborn boy in her arm and his umbilical cord still attached.

Cops pursued her, cut her off and, with guns drawn, ordered her out of van with her hands up.

A minute later, she got back on the road, once again heading to the hospital.

Athena Mosxona, the recently retired postmaster of the Heart Butte, Ind., post office, thought she was doing box holders a favor when she tossed away advertising fliers addressed to them.

But the authorities disagreed and had her arrested on a felony mail-destruction charge.

At least Mosxona, 61, won’t be doing time – a sympathetic judge fined her $10 and blasted her prosecutors for being “overzealous.”
