About this blog

Here's the deal: People are stupid.

There's no denying it, so at Odd Blog, we celebrate it.

If it's bizarre and someone has smoked it, ridden it, eaten it, stolen it, been stuck in it, lost it, found it, or been caught naked with it, I'll tell you about it.

There's no better way to start each day than with a big steaming cup of weird. Because somewhere in the world someone is always doing something odd — carving things out of cheese, accumulating the world's largest collection of toenail clippings, getting arrested for being criminally stupid — you can check back during your day and breathe a big sigh of relief knowing that you aren't THAT guy. And, if you are THAT guy, take heart, sooner or later I'll be blogging about you!

Police chief “mortified” by Blackberry bang up.

——-

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) — The police chief of the south Seattle suburb of Federal Way has issued a public apology for a minor traffic accident that happened while he was checking his BlackBerry in his unmarked police car.

The city summed it up Thursday in a news release that began “Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson is mortified.” Apparently Wilson stopped for a red light on March 18 and glanced down at his BlackBerry to view newspaper headlines and e-mails. He then took his foot off the brake and collided with the car in front of him.

The Seattle Times reports no one was injured and the cars weren’t damaged.

Still, City Manager Neal Beets gave Wilson a verbal reprimand.

The police chief says he takes full responsibility.
