Actor Rip Torn charged with breaking into Conn. bank while drunk and carrying a loaded gun
SALISBURY, Conn. (AP) — Actor Elmore “Rip” Torn has been charged with breaking into a Connecticut bank and carrying a loaded handgun while intoxicated.
State police say the 78-year-old Salisbury resident was arrested Friday night after police found him inside the Litchfield Bancorp with a loaded revolver.
The “Men in Black” actor has been taken into custody and booked on charges including burglary and possession of firearm without a permit. He is being held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled for a Monday appearance in Bantam Superior Court.
Forget men in black, his SF great role was Centauri in The Last Starfighter.

Missing in Mexico: Truck with 5,000 condoms, 800 HIV tests and a giant inflatable prophylactic
MEXICO CITY (AP) _ Missing in Mexico: One truck carrying 5,000 condoms, 800 HIV tests and a 23-foot (7 meter) inflatable prophylactic.
The coordinator of an HIV/AIDS awareness tour, Polo Gomez, said Wednesday that the “Condomovil” was parked in front of a friend’s house in Mexico City when it disappeared Sunday evening. He believes the truck was stolen, but he doesn’t know why. Police are still investigating.
The truck should be easy to spot. It features painted images of a peeled banana, the exposed part shaped like a condom, and a shirtless man saying: “I protect myself. Do you?”
Something doesn’t smell right if this took from last Oct to today for the lawsuit to be filed, but…

The End Is Near
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Tombstone Deep Dish Pizza, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with vending machine pizza, and with high-fructose corn syrup, and with trans-fatty acids, and with all the beasts of the earth.
Must go look. It’s horrific. Frozen pizza vending machine. Ugh.
Well, if you’re British…

Police hunt for doctor in kidney-snatching ring
Shakil, a 28-year-old recovering from a transplant in a Gurgaon hospital, winced as he described how his kidney was forcibly removed.
“Two armed guards took me to another room. They took blood samples … forced me onto a stretcher and then they gave me an injection,” he said. “When I woke up, I had pain in my waist and I was dizzy.”
Shakil and others in nearby hospital beds said a man approached them with promises of well-paying jobs. Instead, he brought them to the house in Gurgaon, they said.
