Googled Today
So I read the police blotter this morning, and saw the following entry "A large plastic jar containing $800 in pennies was stolen from...[local store]."
$800 in pennies? That would be 80,000 pennies. Of course, I had to Google the weight of a penny (3.11 grams), which equates to 248,800 grams of pennies. Another Google search revealed that there are 453.592 grams in a pound. Thus, $800 in pennies weighs 548 pounds. Hmmm, 548 pounds of pennies in a "large plastic jar?" Wow, that's some plastic jar (and a very strong thief). Something tells me the shop owner may have been stretching the truth a bit about the worth of his piggie bank.

Etc.
I could set my watch to the time my toddler wakes up in the morning. 6:22am, every morning. I'm gonna put this kid back in his crib. Toddler bed gives him way too much freedom to get out of bed in the morning!
