Ice cream stolen

A family ran off with two ice cream cones Friday from Storm Bros. at City Dock, city police said.

The owner told police that at about 3 p.m., a customer tried to use a credit card to purchase his ice cream, but the store takes only cash. The man said his family would stay at the store while he ran to an ATM. However, the ...

I know that we here at WOT (which, surprisingly doesn't, in this case, stand for War on Terror) much prefer to rip and tear people down - and we're good at it - here's a good news sports story.

The San Diego Padres called up AAA pitcher Dirk Haythurst to make his major league debut this afternoon against the San Francisco Giants. Once you get past the fact that "Dirk Hayhurst" sounds like either a bad guy in an old episode of the A-Team or a 1970's porn star, I know you all would ...

The thought hit me last weekend, when I got caught in a summer shower while walking the dog - i realized with a start that I am not at all ready for summer to end. The calendar has somehow rolled around to August, which means that we have approximately one month, maybe six weeks, before the leaves start to fall and I haven�t yet had a swimsuit on. I haven�t even rolled up my jeans and waded. I don�t know what is wrong with me. Also, picnics. I have a quota to fill. I think my drop dead number ...

The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in Phoenix .

He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Phoenix was full of pigeon poop, the people of Phoenix could not walk on the sidewalks, or drive on the roads.

It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.

One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition.

'I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons without any cost to the city.
