766 Toyota Land Cruiser til sölu á bilasolur.is - söluverðmæti 3 milljarðar!!!

Í kjölfar forsíðufréttar Fréttablaðsins fór ég til gamans inn á Bilasolur.is og leitaði að Toyota Land Cruiser sem þótti einu sinni flottur stjórnanda bíll, en nú er greinilega Range Rover tekinn við af honum samkvæmt Fréttablaðinu, eða allavega tákn þeirra sem standa sig vel í peningasöfnun.

Þá kom í ljós að akkúrat 766 Toyota Land Cruiser bílar eru á söluskrá og heildarsöluverðmæti 3 milljarðar..17 milljónir..768...þúsund. Meðalverð ca. 4 milljónir, sá dýrasti c.a 9 milljónir og sá ódýrasti undir 2 milljónum.

Við erum nú orðinn 330.000 á íslandi og á síðasta ári seldust ca. 60 Range Rover Sport og ca. 40 Range Rover samkv. sölutölunum bgs.is

Flest okkar (meðal íslendingar) erum ekki í þeirri stöðu að eiga yfir 100+ milljónir á debit kortinu, en má gera ráð fyrir að af okkur 330.000 eiga 2000 manns þessar 100+ milljónir. Þó svo að 300 af þessum 2000 mundu staðgreiða flottustu jeppa í heimi á yfir 15 milljónir þá fyndist mér það ekkert stór mál. Við erum einfaldlega hægt og rólega að breytast úr smáþorpi í meðalstórt fjörbreytt samfélag þar sem ýmislegt gerist og verður til án þess að nágrannar geri sér grein fyrir því.

Ég tel því að 200 Land Rover Range Rover á sölu sé lélegasta forsíðufrétt Fréttablaðsins á árinu og það 31.des. 2007.

A zoo in Germany has scrapped its plans to break up homosexual penguin couples after gay rights groups protested against it.

The Bremerhaven Zoo had noticed that three penguin couples turned out to be all male. In an attempt to encourage the penguins to reproduce the zoo had flown in four female penguins.

The plan was too introduce the female birds too the male which would hopefully lead to the endangered species reproducing, but the zoo abandoned its plans after gay rights groups protested against the experiment.

The zoo's director Heike Kueck said: "Everyone can live here as they please."

Kueck said it was never their intention to separate the couples by force and even if it was their intention, it wouldn't be possible to make them be interested in their new female companions.

Gay groups had earlier protested against "the organised and forced harassment through female seductresses" in an open letter to Bremerhaven's Mayor.

Nýtt vandamál verslunareigenda vestanhafs....Shopdropping.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Some U.S. stores have recorded a holiday-season rise in 'shopdropping,' the act of taking items to stores and leaving them on the shelves.

The practice, also known as reverse-shoplifting, is sometimes used to convey a religious or political message -- such as religious flyers inserted into gay and lesbian publications and anti-consumerist dolls planted on shelves -- and other times can be used as a means of promotion, The New York Times reported Monday.

Jason Brody, lead singer for independent pop-punk band The Death of Jason Brody, said his band has spent the holiday shopping season putting stickers for big-name designers, including Diesel, John Varvatos and 7 for All Mankind, on their CDs and hiding them in the pockets of jeans or on counters at major retailers.

"Bloomingdale's and 7 for All Mankind present the Death of Jason Brody, our pick for New York band to watch in 2008," read a sticker on a CD placed on a Bloomingdale's counter. "As thanks for trying us on, we're giving you this special holiday gift."

Scott Wolfson, a spokesman for the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, said he was unsure about the legality of shopdropping but it could raise safety concerns if the products don't meet federal safety standards and labeling

A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

"I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your Daddy's forgotten all about you."

"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. —  A woman stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife following an argument that began when she accused him of opening a Christmas present early, authorities said Friday.

Misty Johnson, 34, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery, a felony, and misdemeanor domestic battery. Her husband, Shawn Fay Johnson, 34, was treated at a hospital for a wound to the chest, police said.

Misty Johnson made an initial court appearance Thursday in which she requested a court-appointed attorney, authorities said. She was released after posting bail, which was set at $7,500.

There was no telephone listing for her in Rock Springs.

Authorities said Shawn Johnson called 911 just before 1 a.m. Wednesday to report that his wife had stabbed him. He told police that his wife started arguing with him over his opening a Christmas present, according to court records.

As the argument escalated, Misty Johnson accused her husband of having an affair, authorities said. Police found a marriage license in the couple's apartment stating they were married in late September.

Police Detective David Thompson said he didn't know what the present was, or if it was intended for the husband.

 

 

Með 237 hunda heimahjá sér

A complaint from a visiting workman led to the discovery on Tuesday of 237 dogs living inside a 70-year-old woman's Southside home.

Corpus Christi Animal Care Services department officers spent about six hours wrangling the dogs -- mostly Pomeranians with some Yorkshire terriers, two standard poodles and several others. Officers took the dogs to the city's kennel, said Kelli Copeland, the department's manager.

It is a violation of a city ordinance to have more than six animals at a residence unless a property owner secures a kennel license. It was unclear Tuesday night if the homeowner would face charges. The woman who lived in the home in the 6000 block of Edgewater Drive told authorities she bred the dogs, Copeland said, and the woman likely has been acquiring dogs for years. Most of the animals appeared to be adequately fed, but many appeared to be suffering from the close quarters.

"They had plenty of food and plenty of water but were not living in healthy conditions," Copeland said. "Many were covered in feces and urine. I think she slowly accumulated them to where they were more than she could handle."

Of the 237 dogs, 236 will be housed in the city's kennel until a hearing in court likely to be scheduled Dec. 27 or Dec. 28. Officials had to euthanize one of the dogs because of its poor condition. The woman told authorities the dog recently wandered to the house.

The city plans to ask for custody of the dogs so they can be given to animal rescue groups. The animal care department first was told about the dogs from a workman called to the home who complained Monday after visiting.

Monday's complaint was the first against the woman, who likely will face several citations from the city, Copeland said. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

"The homeowner is a very nice lady; I think she loved her dogs," Copeland said.
