I found this recent BYU police beat amusing:

Nov. 10: Students in Foreign Language Student Residence called in a fire in their apartment. One student ran the automatic cleaning cycle on the oven without realizing that another had left a rag in the oven. The apartment received only minor smoke damage.

Do you know how to say, “Don’t turn on the oven clean cycle, I left a rag in the oven!” in Chinese?  I doubt that these foreign language learners did either.

With the Obamas visiting the White House yesterday, I had a quite bazaar bizarre dream last night.

I dreamed that First Lady Laura Bush broke into the Obama’s house and stole their gold fish.  It wasn’t political hostility or anything, just that Mrs. Bush has a collection of goldfish that she has stollen from other politicians.

I appologize if you’ve seen this already, but I thought it aptly describes what I’m going to do now that the election is over.  Click on to see the rest of this XKCD comic.

Actually, with all the political signs disappearing out of front yards, it is time to start looking at houses to buy.

Some people say that it is interesting to write down your dreams.

So last night, when I was having a series of interesting dreams, I decided to write them down so I would remember them.

The problem was, that I was still asleep when I decided to write them down, and was writing them down in my dreams.  So when I woke up, all my dream notes disappeared into forgotteness with the rest of my dreams.

I just read the most recent BYU police beat, and found it more rediculous than usual.  For example, the next time you decide to play hop-scotch on a Provo sidewalk, you may be vandalizing:

Oct. 25: Police discovered the name of a Web site written in chalk on the sidewalk in Provo. This is considered graffiti.

I wish sometimes the police would arrest a vending machine.  Not only are the costs of the inclosed junk food so high that they rob the poor, but I’ve frequently had vending machines eat my coins without giving me the food.  Inspite of these vending machine crimes (against me!) apparently there have been some other vending machine crimes:

Oct. 27: Four vending machines were broken into in the Richards Building. The offenders pried open the machines and removed the coin boxes. Accounting is being done to determine how much money was stolen. This is part of a string of vending machine burglaries and is currently under investigation.

And since when was pushing at a basketball game a criminal offense?  Usually it just warrents a fowl:

Oct. 24: A BYU student and a visitor had a heated verbal exchange during a pick-up basketball game in the Richards Building. At one point, one of them pushed the other.

As a bonus, I read about someone who had a GPS stolen out of his car:

Oct. 26: A student reported a stolen Garmin GPS that was taken from a parked car with a smashed window. The stolen property was valued at $900.

$900 for a GPS?!?  That student did get robbed–by the store that charged him $900 for a GPS!  (They usually run $150-$300).
