N.J. 'Vampyre' jailed after allegedly harassing teen

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- A self-described "vampyre" and former fringe political candidate faces charges for threatening a teenage girl who tried to break off their relationship by telling him she was actually a vampire hunter.

Jonathan Alfred Sharkey, 44, of Toms River, was held in the Olmsted County, Minn. jail Wednesday on $125,000 bail. He was charged last summer, but didn't appear in court until last month after he was arrested on a warrant.

Melanie and I got on a tangent and began creating collective nouns.  Collective nouns, for those of you who don't know, are what you call groupings of things (e.g., "a herd of cows").  

Here are some of our best/worst ones:

• A sorority of whores
• A depression of goths
• A redundancy of hipsters
• An itch of jocks
• An unlikelihood of loners
• A confusion of cheerleaders
• A lack of ninjas
• A bruise of abuse victims
• A nonsense of date-rape victims
• A seizure of celebrity scientologists
• A rash of dermatologists
• A sparkle of vampires
• A keg of frat boys
• A slit of cutters
• A jaundice of newborns
• A malodorance of fish-mongers
• A denial of teenagers
• An abortion of fetuses
• An ignorance of Americans
• A viscosity of slugs
• A snobbery of Frenchmen
• A breakfast of enemas
• A chlamydia of college students

What can you come up with?

What do you think?

Great. One more children's show to fear.

I watched that and a few other related videos, and now know to fear the Gabba.

Senator's Lawsuit Against God Is Tossed Out

A Douglas County District Court judge has tossed out Nebraska State Sen. Ernie Chambers' lawsuit against God.

Judge Marlon Polk says Chambers can't sue God if he can't serve papers on him.

The court had warned Chambers in the past that his lawsuit may be dismissed because he had failed to serve notice on God. Chambers had responded by arguing the Almighty shouldn't need notice because God already knows everything.
