Now we know why they call it High Street. Police in Millville, New Jersey have confirmed the odd-looking plants they pulled from a flower basket in September in Millville's business district were indeed marijuana plants.

The plants were discovered and reported by a passer-by. Police responded to the scene with a ladder and confiscated the 3-foot-tall plants, which were growing in a basket hanging from a lamppost.

Representatives of the city's parks and recreation department, which tends to the baskets, say they have no idea how the pot plants got there.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE...

Be careful what you teach your dog to retrieve. You might not like what he brings you. You do, however, want to train your dog…just in case.

The wet t-shirt contest at Las Vegas Bikefest was a thing of beauty. What is there, really, that can be said, other than, "boy, are we glad someone figured out this whole wet cotton clinging to skin thing."

The Wonder Bra might become a best seller among bikers in Vietnam. The country's communist rulers are set to ban small-chested bikers from riding on that country’s roads.

According to published reports, anyone with a chest under 28 inches in circumference will be banned from driving a motorbike, which make up 90% of the traffic in the country.

The idea, reportedly, is to prevent people who are too thin, too short or too sickly from riding a motorbike. Ailments such as enlarged livers or sinusitis will also rule out aspirant motorists.

If you thought the jokes about farmers having intimate relations with their livestock were just jokes, you’re right. It’s the cops chasing after the critters…at least in New Jersey.

We couldn’t make the stuff up if we wanted to. We don’t know how true this story is (what, with photoshop & all that), but it’s funnier than hell, and somehow appropriate. We don’t even know how it got to us, but we just had to share…

The Kern County, California, Sheriff's Department orders plain white patrol units and has the graphics applied locally. In this case, what they ordered was not quite what they got.

Jessie Vigil's black-and-white car sports a red-and-blue emergency bar across the top and the word "police" painted on the doors. Vigil, however, isn't a cop. Law enforcement agencies say what he's done with his car isn't illegal as long as he doesn't act like a police officer.

Vigil, of Las Vegas, New Mexico, started decorating his 2007 Ford Mustang last summer to look like the police cruiser in the "Transformers" movie because his 7-year-old son, Thomas, was fond of the film.

A Connecticut man has been rejected in his bid to become a police officer for scoring too high on an intelligence test.

Robert Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took an exam to join the New London police, in Connecticut, in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125.
But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.

Jordan launched a federal lawsuit against the city, but lost.
