An Eggcellent Crime

Lansdale police say a couple — who I will now call “my new heroes” — went on an “18-month egging spree” that targeted about 400 people. NBC 10 reports:

Philip Fleck and his girlfriend Heather Darcy were out for revenge during an 18-month egging spree, police said.

The couple wanted to retaliate against friends for damages they said were inflicted upon them, but the couple also egged other people to draw suspicion away from them, according to police.

Weird thing is, if they egged around 400 people’s houses and cars… how much did they spend on eggs? You have to assume they used at least a half-dozen for every egging trip; that’s a couple hundred dollars. These people could have bought a Nintendo Wii for that kind of money.

Ex-Con With Heart Of Gold Arrested

When we last saw Joseph Mammana, the ex-con-turned-crime fighter was attempting to help Natalee Holloway’s family find her killers or her or whatever.

And now, he’s been arrested. Authorities from the FBI and IRS searched Mammana’s Yardley residence and North Philly egg factory (ha!) to find tax records when they found a revolver. NBC 10 reports:

Because his previous felony convictions carried more than a year jail sentence, it is illegal for him to possess a firearm in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce. The investigation found that the gun was registered to his father, who died in 1979, and that the gun was manufactured and was operable outside of Pennsylvania, which made it illegal for Mammana to possess it.

I’m not really interested in Mammana’s arrest. I’m more excited about this new technology that can render a gun operable in only one state! How cool is that?
