Man Stabbed Self to Hide Skateboarding Accident

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law on November 4, 2009 at 1:37 pm

Aaron Siebers, 27, had a problem. He was skateboarding one afternoon, fell, and ripped his Blockbuster-issued khakis. Worried about getting "written up," Aaron hatched a criminally (not so) brilliant plan:

Instead of just calling in sick, he stabbed himself in the leg and showed up at work claiming to have just been attacked by three Hispanic males. Siebers, who told cops he was assaulted as he walked toward the Blockbuster in Edgewater, had a deep stab wound in one leg and several other minor cuts on his face and stomach. As investigators began hunting for the assailants, they reviewed surveillance video from outside a Target store where Siebers claimed the attack occurred. The footage, however, showed no such assault. Confronted by cops, Siebers, pictured in the below mug shot, admitted that he had stabbed himself. He told investigators about the skateboarding accident, the resulting ripped pants, and how "he did not want to lose his job so he stabbed himself in the leg," according to an arrest affidavit sworn by Officer Shawna Naumann.

Oliver Schulze created this Flintstone-worthy skateboard called My Uzi Weighs a Ton No. 0 – a reference to a Public Enemy No. 1 lyric. I’d like to see Tony Hawk do an ollie on that board! Link – via GeeksAlert

Too bad this gorgeous IPSVM skateboard exists only in Loren Kulesus’s design. Given its intricacy, I’d wager that the only loop-d-loop you’ll see with this skatebard is in its design: Link – via NotCot

Dog-Powered Scooters

Posted by Alex in Animal, Car & Vehicle on December 28, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Neatorama reader Mark Schuette told us of his invention: a new mode of transportation powered by … dogs!

Though dog mushing is an old sport, Mark’s new twist lets you have your own urban Iditarod on a dog-powered scooter, trike, or skateboard.

Link – Thanks Mark!

Hey, it’s a win-win scenario. It’s exercise for the dogs and fun for you (Better than this form of doggie exercise!)
