I'll try my wild rice blend with some of Dallas' curry. This Weird News story made me think of Corey:

Source: Prank caller led to store smashing

ALBUQUERQUE (UPI) -- A pair of New Mexico fast food workers were hoodwinked by a prank caller into stripping to their underwear and breaking the restaurant's windows, sources said. The sources told KOAT-TV, Albuquerque, that the two male What-A-Burger employees received a phone call Monday night at the restaurant from someone claiming to be a representative of the fast food chain's corporate office.

The caller told the men to test the fire suppression system, and warned them to shed their clothes after they were covered by the yellow powder released by the system. The caller then told the men to break the restaurant's windows for ventilation, the source said. Some witnesses dialed 911 while the men used rocks to smash the windows. "He was actually talking to somebody on the phone, and he looked like he was nervous. He said, "OK, hold on," and he threw the first rock," one 911 caller said.

What-A-Burger manager told police $10,000 worth of damage was done to the store. "This situation is completely unacceptable," the vice president of What-A-Burger said in a statement Tuesday. "What-A-Burger is working with the Albuquerque Police Department to identify the individuals responsible for these actions, and will pursue full compensation for damages."

Corey's take on this:

[02:06:44] Corey: well, they haven't posted that one yet, but it's more than likely the PrankNET guys :P their hotel sprinkler pranks cost one hotel $50,000 worth of damage since it flooded a bunch of rooms
[02:07:36] Corey: these guys have been in the news for shit like that on 4-5 different occasions now... the newest ones say something like "they may be inspired by web sites about prank telephone calls"
[02:08:23] Corey: I hope that means the police just don't care enough to spend time looking into this, because if they can't figure out who's doing it, they're pretty crappy investigators...
[02:09:16] Corey: it's a dude in Canada, who posts videos on Youtube and invites people to listen to him make prank calls live on this chat program I've never heard of before, and even join in :P
[02:14:23] Flami: learning about martyrs: that's nuts. which program is it?
[02:16:23] Corey: Beyluxe... some chat program that has audio. so people listen to them prank people live, and can chat about it at the same time. I've never tried it out

Poo nugget for Tuesday, June 16: A Presidential Affliction - June 13 marks the birthday of Burrill Bernard Crohn, the first physician to describe the inflammatory condition of the bowel that now bears his name: Crohn's disease. Crohn and two colleagues from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City published their seminal paper, "Terminal Ileitis: A New Clinical Entity," in 1932. Included among its sufferers are former U.S. presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy.
