Thieves Take on the Internet!
On Sunday thieves used a chainsaw that cut open an internet trunk line. The dudes were apparently looking for copper, but all they got were internet delays for millions of people. Yeah, millions. Seems Cleveland is a hub for internet wiring used worldwide. To make matters worse, and a bit more interesting, when workers went to fix the line with replacement cable they discovered it had been damaged by a gunshot. Where exactly are they storing this back up cable? And how pissed at the internet would you have to be to shoot some wires? Don’t worry, everything is back up and running, and as long as you don’t look like the internet you don’t have a chance of getting shot.
Euclid Must Change Elections
If you can get past the now just downright confusing humor (”They didn’t have a Slurpee’s chance in Rachel Ray’s kitchen.” Right…) C-Notes has an interesting tidbit on Euclid’s battle against the U.S. government to keep their current system for electing officials. Seems that the big boys in Washington didn’t like the racist lean of Euclid’s policies and stepped in to help. Making things even more intriguing is the fact that Euclid officials spent half a mil fighting to keep their current system. I can’t wait to see which one of those dudes gets re-elected.
Finally, Cleveland Makes a Best-Of List!
Forbes has named Cleveland one of the best cities for singles. Well at least number 37 out of 40. Come on! It’s something people! I mean I guess there is a good side to all those people fleeing the city, they are leaving behind significant others! Poorest big city? That means your date won’t expect anything fancy!!! Shit, I don’t know why I didn’t see this before. I always knew Forbes was a fantastic piece of journalistic awesomeness, now my theories are fully confirmed! Get dating you horny little Clevelanders!
