If I found a thief in my house, I’d probably act as one too. Laugh and give him a hug. He’d think I was there first and politely leave.

This is unacceptable and it’s why I’ve tried time and time again to get these people RFID tagged or at least barcoded so these embarrassing incidents don’t keep happening.

Buckingham Palace Police Mistake Prince For Burglar. 

The Duke of York has said he is “grateful” for an apology from police after officers challenged him in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

In a statement, Prince Andrew said the police had a difficult job and sometimes they “get it wrong”.

Scotland Yard confirmed it had stopped the prince and said the force had “apologised for any inconvenience”.

The incident happened two days after a man was arrested on suspicion of burglary inside the palace.

The duke said: “The police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the Royal Family and deterring intruders, and sometimes they get it wrong.

“I am grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in the future.”

‘No weapons drawn’

Police said no weapons were drawn in the incident involving the duke, who is the Queen’s second son and has an apartment and office at Buckingham Palace.

The Sunday Express earlier reported officers pointed their gunsand ordered him to “put your hands up and get on the ground” after mistaking him for an intruder.

The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: “In light of media reports we can confirm that the man spoken to by officers was the Duke of York. We are making this public with HRH’s permission.

“We are grateful to the duke for his understanding and have apologised for any inconvenience caused.” {Read on}

2020: Declare yourself International Hide-And-Go-Seek champion. Demand endorsements.

At 64, Yasuo Hazaki admits he may no longer have the speed of an Olympic athlete, but guile is as important an attribute in his chosen

sport – competitive hide-and-seek – and he is lobbying for it be included in the 2020 Games.

The International Olympic Committee is to  has announced the host city for the XXXII Olympiad at its meeting in Buenos Aires on Saturday, with Tokyo competing with Istanbul and Madrid for  winning the right to host the largest sporting event in the world.

And Hazaki, a graduate of Nippon Sport Science University, believes Tokyo 2020 would be the perfect occasion for the Olympic community to embrace his chosen sport.

“I would like hide-and-seek to be one of the exhibition sports in 2020 and then it could become an official event at subsequent Olympics,” Hazaki, a professor of media studies at Josai International University, told The Daily Telegraph.

Prof. Hazaki set up the Japan Hide-and-Seek Promotion Committee in 2010 and the organisation has around 1,000 members across the country. Many are university students, but the sport can be enjoyed by anyone, he emphasises.

“I want to encourage sport for all, meaning that anyone can take part, regardless of age, gender or ability,” he said. “When you watch sport now, it’s all about world-beating techniques and skills – fantastic dribbling, running or shooting skills in football, for example. {Via}

What will the Japanese come up with next?

In what seems like an apparent one-upsmanship act against American county fairs, the folks at KFC Japan have recently announced they will be offering a deep-fried soup product this month.

According to RocketNews24, one of the current items that sits as a “common fixture in Japanese cafes” is a creamy soup corn potage. The result apparently includes KFC launching a deep-fried corn potage fritter, describing their process in a frighteningly nonchalant manner, “We bread the corn potage and cook it to a crisp.”

The deep fried soup will be available for a limited time only at KFC locations across Japan starting September 5th. {Via}

Ah, yes, divorce… from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.

When they married in 1986, Christo and Sharlene Lassiter vowed to create a marriage that would last in good times and bad.

Instead, the marriage lasted 10 years – seven years less than their divorce-related legal battles. That fight has been so acrimonious that it’s resulted in rare instances of judges sharply rebuking the pair. One judge noted the ex-spouses are both law professors and, by their actions in court, are teaching future lawyers how to ignore court rules and make a mockery of the legal profession.

“I am really shocked, because when I was in law school my professors were outstanding. They never would have told me that behaving the way you all have, both of you, over the past 20 years, is acceptable behavior,” Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Leslie Ghiz told their attorneys in a July hearing.

Christo Lassiter, 56, is a law professor at the University of Cincinnati. Sharlene Lassiter, 52, who is remarried and now known as Sharlene Boltz, is a law professor at Northern Kentucky University’s Chase College of Law. The divorce lawsuit had an astounding 1,400-plus entries filed in it, at least 1,000 more than a typical divorce file.

“Holy cow, that is extremely rare,” Loveland attorney George Maley said of the 17 years of divorce and post-divorce suits between the former spouses.

A typical divorce without children can be completed in six to nine months, Maley said. One involving children, custody and visitation can be completed in a year.

Not so for Lassiter and Boltz. The filings have included Boltz calling the police to Lassiter’s workplace several times; both having and then losing custody of their two children, now ages 20 and 17. It also involves several complaints by judges presiding over the case that the law professors, who they say should know the rules of the courts, repeatedly violated those rules. {Read on}

Er. What?

That’s about as awkward as it’s gonna get.
