			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This video has shown up this evening. It claims to be Lada Gaga arriving in Moncton.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wQcZcIP9kv0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The first thing that you notice is that the airport is completely empty. This would indicate that she would not have come on a commercial flight. A quick search of Twitter showed no tweets of people seeing her in any other airport today, which means that she would have come in on a private aircraft.</p>
<p>How do we know if any private jets arrived? We can look up incoming flights of FlightAware.com:<br />
<a href="http://lamespotting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/notgaga1.gif"><img src="http://lamespotting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/notgaga1.gif" alt="" title="notgaga1" width="500" height="435" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1553" /></a><br />
There were no private jets at the Moncton airport today.</p>
<p>Another clue is that it would seem odd to have the camera rolling ahead of discovering that it was a celebrity sighting. Also note the prominent placement of the video author&#8217;s name.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s video #2, which doesn&#8217;t really have too much in it:<br />
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FzklmZ3--b0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Why would someone drive with the windows down on a cool Moncton autumn day?<br />
If she was checking out the site, why would she walk down the dirt road? Wouldn&#8217;t concert site organizers be escorting her all around?</p>
<p>Also: The Times Transcript <a href="http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/front/article/1455956">interviewed the manager of the airport</a> who said that celebrities don&#8217;t use the main airport terminal.</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> One of the video&#8217;s authors posted this as a confession that it is a hoax. It was created by two employees from <a href="http://www.laminedor.ca/">La Mine D&#8217;Or</a>, a local jewelry store to promote a Children&#8217;s Wish event.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s already been well established that Fredericton has a problem with bad drivers. City Hall is unable to find a solution, so I am providing my own. Nothing spreads faster than a scary chain e-mail, so copy &amp; paste this and send it to everyone you know, especially minivan and SUV owners:</p>
<blockquote><p>Warning from the Fredericton Police Dept:</p>
<p>It has come to our attention that a gang from Halifax is initiating new members in the Fredericton area. Part of their initiation is to shoot at random vehicles that are doing the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stopping in merge lanes</li>
<li>Stopping in the middle of roundabouts</li>
<li>Blocking traffic while waiting to get into Tim Horton&#8217;s</li>
<li>Blocking intersections during rush hour</li>
<li>Not stopping for pedestrians</li>
</ul>
<p>The Fredericton Police would like to reassure the public that they are safe as long as they don&#8217;t do any of the things listed above. We would also like to remind you that the gang that steals kidneys from people who bike on the sidewalks is still active.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve seen all those cute lists on Facebook about how precious babies are.  Unfortunately, they don&#8217;t stay small and precious forever.  So here&#8217;s a sequel to those lists:</p>
<p>Things you&#8217;ll learn once that cute baby turns into a toddler</p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;ll be creative in improvising when you can&#8217;t find a coaster</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll fondly remember the days before remote controls were invented as you&#8217;ll never see yours again</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll be amazed that your cell phone will work once it has been dried out after a dunking in the toilet</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll figure out quick and easy ways to reattach wallpaper</li>
<li>You won&#8217;t mind a slobbery kiss, but you&#8217;ll draw the line on using tongue</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll learn all these neat and nifty keyboard shortcuts as your cordless mouse in is the potato bin</li>
<li>You will begin to sniff every puddle of liquid in the house</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll be amazed at how much poop a pair of regular cotton underwear can hold</li>
<li>Your car will smell like barf and sour milk and you&#8217;ll never find the source.  Eventually you&#8217;ll just roll down the windows and stop caring.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll tremble with fear when your hear &#8220;uh-oh&#8221;</li>
<li>Your PVR will be full of kids shows</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll have to find another &#8220;quiet place&#8221; as you&#8217;ll no longer be able to use the bathroom as your sanctuary.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll eventually hit &#8220;critical mess&#8221; where no matter how many more toys get strewn about, it won&#8217;t look any messier</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll learn which kinds of cake sprinkles don&#8217;t get digested</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we have a story about a retired politician hitting a bear with his motorbike.  Let&#8217;s see how 2 Toronto newspapers handle the story:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081126.wbear26/BNStory/National/home" target="_blank">The Globe &amp; Mail</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://lamespotting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bear1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-112" title="bear1" src="http://lamespotting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bear1.png" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s see how the <a href="http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/543367" target="_blank">Toronto Star</a> does:</p>
<p><a href="http://lamespotting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bear2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113" title="bear2" src="http://lamespotting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bear2.png" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
So there you have it, according to the Toronto Star, standing in the middle of the road is considered attacking. Next time I&#8217;m driving in downtown Fredericton, I&#8217;ll have to keep my eye out for squirrel attacks.</p>
