Some of these news reports are hilarious! Haven't read them all -- the list is long -- but here's a little excerpt from A Diary of All Things Stupid.
Joseph Begley saved 2,000 cigarette coupons and mailed them in to a British cigarette company in order to get a watch. When the watch didn't arrive he wrote and asked why. Back came three watches. Mr. Begley only wanted one so he mailed back the other two. The next day 10 parcels arrived from the cigarette company. The following day 18 parcels arrived. The day after that 10 more parcels came. All were trade-in gifts given by the cigarette company in exchange for coupons Mr. Begley never had. Among the gifts were three tape recorders, a doll, a golf bag, two electric blankets, a cot, saucepans, a pressure cooker, and long-playing records. Mr. Begley wrote a long, pleading letter to the company asking them to stop. In the return mail came a reply saying: "It was a computer error." The company gave Mr. Begley 10,000 coupons in compensation for his troubles. With these Mr. Begley ordered some tools and a beadspread. He received a plant stand and two stepladders.

Somewhere buried in all of this is supposed to be the lyrics of a song I used to hear while living in SoCal on KLOS' Mark & Brian show that I was trying to find, "Oriental Drivers." Very politically incorrect but it was still funny as all get out. I'm still lookin'.
 
A plant stand and two ladders. LMAO!

This is great too: "A judge admonished the Radnor, Pennsylvania, police for pretending that a Xerox copy machine was a lie detector. Officers had placed a metal colander on the head of a suspect and attached the colander to the copier with metal wires. In the copy machine was a typewritten message which read: "He's lying." According to UPI, "Each time investigators received answers they did not fancy, they pushed the copy button. Out came the message 'He's lying.'" Apparently convinced the machine was accurate, the suspect confessed. "
 
Recently in the news: A 19 yr old W.VA man while robbing a house during daylight used that home's computer to log into his Facebook account. He's probably still wondering how they caught him.
 
This one killed me as somewhat of a no-brainer:

In a crackdown on misbehavior, Arthur Jefferson, superintendent of Detroit's public schools, has forbidden students to carry guns. (Detroit Free Press)
