Battery powered shoes

Dumb action of the Day
Today's dumb action winner goes to a man at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Alarm bells were set off when he tried walking through security — specifically a series of concealed metal plates and batteries were in his shoes. The man was detained, taken to a nearby police station and questioned for five hours. The incident drew the interest of Peel Regional Police, the RCMP and INSET, Canada's integrated national security enforcement team.

But instead of concealing bomb-making equipment, police said the man was simply trying to appear taller. He used a series of batteries and plates to make himself appear taller. Essentially, they were homemade lifts.

How bad economic times are we in that we need to make homemade lifts?! Going to the airport with batteries and metal parts in your shoe is like walking into a bank with a money bag sign, you just know something bad is going to happen. And for that reason, this is the dumb action of the day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAOMING!
Its Haoming's 19th birthday today. I love how one second everyone is doing their own thing and right after Jonathan msged people telling them its Haoming's Bday everyone suddenly puts it on their msn name. Oh instant msging, how I love it. I did feel a bit bad for not remembering his birthday but Haoming sure knows how to make me feel better.
Good job Haoming
Last year I think we forgot it was his birthday until the next day. Today we remembered at 8pm. This is a great sign, we are improving. Shout out to Jonathan for telling us all.
