I have found that it's often the obvious that is overlooked. At the end of the story about the Flower Pot Safe,
you will find a bonus offer just for you.

Mike snickered. Sometimes his sister, Beth, had the craziest ideas. Mike was at Beth's home helping her to put her affairs back into order after her husband's death. Today, he was photographing her valuables for insurance purposes. Beth had taken out a new policy and she wanted to keep her own records.

After Mike was finished with the pictures and preparing to head home, Beth asked him to wait -- she had two more items to photograph. She then pulled her wedding and engagement ring from inside the flower pot that held her Easter Lilies -- the same pot that held Poinsettias last December. Mike was humored and asked
her about her choice of hiding places.

Beth generally kept the flower pot sitting on the kitchen counter when it contained flowers,and on the top shelf next to other empty pots when it didn't. Mike told her that he thought the flower pot safe was an odd place for her to keep her most beloved possessions. But, there they sat, right out in the open.

But Beth explained that the flower pot safe was, in fact, the safest place for her treasures. So safe, that her rings had recently eluded a burglar and a dishonest cousin. The burglar had found the silverware and the cousin recently took a fair amount of cash out of Beth's wall safe.

The rings were not touched. She asked Mike, "Where would a burglar or a thief look first?" After thinking about it for a moment, Mike had to admit that if he were a burglar, he wouldn't even think to look for
valuables in a flower pot. He was pretty certain that a burglar would go through drawers and closets, or break into any obvious safe he or she came across.

As Mike drove home, he thought about the various reasons a flower pot safe, or any diversion safe, would be useful. He lived in a low crime area, but he had a lot of company and so did his three teenage boys. You'd like to believe that you can trust everyone, but the reality is that you simply can't.

Once he arrived home, Mike ordered two flower pot safes of his own.

Security Camera Saves The Day And The Money

"Another Saturday night," groaned Thomas. He mopped up a mess of spilled beer at the back of his convenience store. Some punk knocked it off the shelf, then ran out the door without even apologizing.

As he bent down to pick up the shards of broken glass, a heard what he could swear
sounded like snakes hissing. He straightened himself up -- and stared directly into the barrel of a shotgun.

"You stay where you are, old man, and you stay alive," growled the masked gunman. The gunman glanced at his accomplice, who was spraying black paint over the lens of the security camera behind Thomas'
register. The accomplice hopped down from the counter and flashed a thumbs up sign at the gunman.

The gunman ripped the ski mask from his face and complained."I hate those things," he said. "I can never see what I'm doing.

Now, open up the safe and you get to live." Thomas complied, moving behind the counter to enter the manual override combination into his counter safe. He piled all of the evening's receipts into a brown paper bag and passed it along to the thieves. The lead gunman boasted on the way out the door,

"You see? When you pick the right place, you can do these jobs in style. No goofy masks, and no hurry!"

Thomas just smiled. As soon as the thieves pulled out of the parking lot, he called 9-1-1. When the detectives asked Thomas to provide a description, he smiled and said, "I can do a lot better than that."

Everyone in the room stared at Thomas' split-screen security video. They watched the thieves disable the parking lot camera, followed by the blacking out of the two inside lenses. But a fourth frame showed everything that happened that night, especially the unmasking of the robbers.

"I don't get it," one of the cops said, craning his neck around the room. "They cased this place out and took out the cameras.
How'd they miss that one?" Thomas grinned and pointed at the exit sign -

a pinhole security camera peeked out at everyone in the room.

"That sign does a lot more than show folks the way out of the store," Thomas said. "It shows criminals the way off the streets."

Sure enough, Thomas captured crystal clear images of the thieves practically staring into the camera. Once those pictures hit the local news, the cops had them both in custody within a matter of hours. They hadn't even had time to spend the money.

And they looked better with the masks on.

The 2009 Darwin Awards!

The 2009 Darwin Awards!




And once again, it's time for the Darwin Award Nominees. The Darwins are awarded every year to the persons who died in the stupidest manner, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool. This year's nominees are:



Nominee No. 1: (San Jose Mercury News):



An unidentified man, using a shotgun like a club to break a former girlfriend's windshield, accidentally shot himself to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in his gut.



Nominee No. 2: (Kalamazoo Gazette):



James Burns, 34, (a mechanic) of Alamo, MI, was killed in March as he was trying to repair what police describe as a "farm-type truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway while Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a troubling noise. Burns clothes caught on something however and the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft.”



Nominee No. 3: (Hickory Daily Record):



Ken Charles Barger, 47, accidentally shot himself to death in December in Newton, NC. Awakening to the sound of a ringing telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed instead a Smith & Wesson 38 Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.



Nominee No. 4: (UPI, Toronto):



Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death. A police spokesman said Garry Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was explaining the strength of the building's windows to visiting law students. Hoy previously had conducted demonstrations of window strength according to police reports. Peter Lawson, managing partner of the firm Holden Day Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was "one of the best and brightest" members of the 200-man association.



Nominee No. 5: (The News of the Weird):



Michael Anderson Godwin made News of the Weird posthumously. He had spent several years awaiting South Carolina's electric chair on a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in prison. While sitting on a metal toilet in his cell attempting to fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted.



Nominee No. 6:



A cigarette lighter may have triggered a fatal explosion in Dunkirk, IN. A Jay Countryman, using a cigarette lighter to check the barrel of a muzzle loader, was killed Monday night when the weapon discharged in his face, sheriffs' investigators said. Gregory David Pryor, 19, died in his parents' ruralDunkirk home at about 11:30 PM. Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a 54-caliber muzzle-loader that had not been firing properly. He was using the lighter to look into the barrel when the gunpowder ignited.



Nominee No. 7: (Reuters, Mississauga, Ontario ):



A man cleaning a bird feeder on the balcony of his condominium apartment in his Toronto suburb slipped and fell 23 stories to his death. Stefan Macko, 55, was standing on a wheelchair when the accident occurred, said Inspector Darcy Honer of the Peel Regional Police. "It appears that the chair moved, and he went over the balcony," Honer said.



Finally, THE WINNER!: (Arkansas Democrat Gazette):



Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday. Woodruff County Deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, were returning to Des Arc after a frog catching trip. On an overcast Sunday night, Pooles pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the 22 caliber bullets from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge.





After traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exiting the pavement, and striking a tree.Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles which will never operate again as intended.





Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. "Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off, or we might both be dead," stated Wallis.





"I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how this accident happened," said Snyder.





Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia (Poole's wife) asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck. Priorities, after all!





Though Poole and Wallis did not die as a result of their misadventure as normally required by Darwin Award Official Rules, it can be argued that Poole did, in fact, effectively remove himself from the gene pool.
