Odd News:Winnie the Pooh pulls bank job in Chicago



CHICAGO – The man who robbed a suburban Chicago bank at gunpoint last Friday looks like a hard-boiled, tough guy straight out of pulp fiction. Except for his sweatshirt, which featured a picture of Winnie the Pooh, the lovable Bear who's a classic of children's fiction.

FBI agents on Wednesday dubbed him the Winnie the Pooh Bandit and released surveillance photos from the Park Ridge bank in hopes the public might help to identify him.

They described his as a white male, 35 to 40 years old, 6-feet, 225 pounds, and medium build.

FBI agents like to give bank robbers monickers — such as the Scarecrow Bandit who looked like a character from the "Wizard of Oz" and the Groucho Bandit who wore a fake mustache — in hopes of generating public interest and assistance.

Dumb Crook: Man Uses Pay Stub as Bank Robbery Note


CHICAGO – The robber's threatening note made a Chicago bank job easy to solve: The FBI says the suspect wrote it on his pay stub. An FBI affidavit said the man walked into a Fifth Third Bank on Friday and handed a teller a note that read "Be Quick Be Quit (sic). Give your cash or I'll shoot."

The robber got about $400 but left half of his note. Investigators found the other half outside the bank's front doors. Authorities say that part of the man's October pay stub had his name and address.

The suspect was arrested at his Cary home. A judge ordered him held without bond Monday. If convicted of bank robbery, he faces 20 years in prison

Odd News-Lawyer cut fees in return for nude dances


Odd News-Lawyer cut fees in return for nude dances!
And the problem is?

CHICAGO - An attorney was suspended for more than a year for accepting nude dances from a stripper as partial payment for the legal fees she owed him. The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission on Thursday said Scott Robert Erwin will begin serving a 15-month suspension for misconduct next month.

Erwin, who practices in the northern Illinois city of DeKalb, and his client mutually agreed that she'd perform nude dances for him in his office as a way to reduce her legal fees, the commission's report said. He credited her for $534 toward his bill for services of various legal matters, the report said...article

Breaking News - Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50


Breaking News - Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50

By F.N. D'ALESSIO, Associated Press Writer
32 minutes ago



CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian who worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished upbringing on Chicago's South Side, died Saturday at age 50.

"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

Recently, Mac's brand of comedy caught him flack when he was heckled during a surprise appearance at a July fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate and fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama.

Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine, Mac joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language. The performance earned him a rebuke from Obama's campaign.

But despite controversy or difficulties, in his words, Mac was always a performer.

"Wherever I am, I have to play," he said in 2002. "I have to put on a good show."

Mac started his comedy career at age 8, with a standup performance at a church dinner. In 1977, at age 20, he took that act to comedy clubs in Chicago.

His film career started with a small role as a club doorman in the Damon Wayans movie "Mo' Money" in 1992. Mac went on to star in the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise with Brad Pitt and George Clooney and his turn with Ashton Kutcher in 2005's "Guess Who?" — a remake of the Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn 1967 classic "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" — topped the box office.

Mac also had starring roles in "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."

The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006.

The series about a man's adventures raising his sister's three children, won a Peabody Award in 2002. At the time, judges wrote they chose the sitcom for transcending "race and class while lifting viewers with laughter, compassion — and cool."

The show garnered Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for Mac. He also was nominated for a Grammy award for best comedy album in 2001 along with his "The Original Kings of Comedy" co-stars, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric The Entertainer.

In 2007, Mac told David Letterman on CBS' "Late Show" that he planned to retire soon.

"I'm going to still do my producing, my films, but I want to enjoy my life a little bit," Mac told Letterman. "I missed a lot of things, you know. I was a street performer for two years. I went into clubs in 1977."

Mac was born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough on Oct. 5, 1957, in Chicago. He grew up on the city's South Side, living with his mother and grandparents. His grandfather was the deacon of a Baptist church.

In his 2004 memoir, "Maybe You Never Cry Again," Mac wrote about having a poor childhood — eating bologna for dinner — and a strict, no-nonsense upbringing.

Mac's mother died of cancer when he was 16. In his book, Mac said she was a support for him and told him he would surprise everyone when he grew up.

"Woman believed in me," he wrote. "She believed in me long before I believed."

Odd News - Pastor Harry's Prediction of an 8-8-08 Attack Bible Code!


Odd News - Pastor Harry's Prediction of an 8-8-08 Attack Bible Code!

These are the opinions of Pastor Harry from Pastor Harry/CH of PHL-INT
www.satansrapture.com


BIBLE CODE: TERROR ATTACK - 8-8-08- CHICAGO - SEARS TOWER by Pastor Harry (Walther)

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAGE IS PREVENTION.

21 JUNE, 08: UPDATE. It is possible this terror attack on CHICAGO USA on 8.8.08 and the attack on ISRAEL on 8.9.08 is retaliation, in response to ISRAEL launching an attack on Iran's Nuclear Program before AUG 8, 2008.

RETALIATION is encoded with CHICAGO and TERROR.

I have found the next terror attack in The Bible Code and this is for CHICAGO, USA on the date of 8-8-08. Actually this attack on Chicago connects three Bible Code together in what seems to say Terrorists will launch a simultaneous attack on both Chicago (USA) and ISRAEL.

As with the Philadelphia- MAY 2008- Ebola Code, PREVENTION is encoded so thru mass awaressness, this attack can be prevented, unless of course this attack is allowed by GOD as part of his Divine Timeline".

BIBLE CODE I

CODE LOCATION: GEN, EXOD & LEV
CHICAGO (7AB = HEBREW) 8-8-08
TERROR - PLANE - CRASH - MISSILE
DISASTER - SEARS TOWER - FIRE
911- EVENING - NIGHT - 911
PRESIDENT BUSH - ANNIHILATE- AXIS EVIL --


The Bible Code seems to warn this terror attack on Chicago will be a repeat of 911, a plane crashing into the SEARS TOWER, the tallest building in Chicago. Yet this bible code warns the attack will be AT NIGHT, EVENING as opposed to 911 which happened about 9:02 EST, in the morning.

As I believe terrorists failed in their Ebola Attack on Philadelphia (MAY-JUNE 08) they are going back to their "tried and tested" plan of 911, using a plane as a "missile" to crash into the Sears Tower.

BIBLE CODE: LEV:1:12: CHICAGO
PLANE - CRASH - CREW - EVIL- WICKED
C4 - DOOR - WEAPONS - GUN - SNIPER

This Bible Code suggests that the crew will be involved in this terror attack. Although "Pilot" is not encoded, a pilot or co-pilot could be a secret terrorist and crash this plane. It is also possible that a terrorist "crew" will plant weapons such as small knives and a GUN for terrorists to use in taking-over a jet plane and crashing it into the Sears Tower. (many handguns can be disassembled and parts hidden thruout a plane).

C4 is a plastic explosive that could be hidden on this plane and then used to blow open the cockpit door and "C4" is encoded 4 times with "door".

This code also says SNIPER and its possible a (terrorist) sniper with a high powered rifle and armor-piercing bullets will fire into the cockpit of this plane which initiates this attack?

"The date of this attack is 8-8-08 and terrorists use sequential date such as 7-7-05 (London Train Bombing) as a powerful rememberance. This Bible Code also says the President Bush will launch a counter attack on IRAN, part of his, "axis of evil" as IRAN will be blamed for this attack.

BIBLE CODE II

CODE LOCATION: NUM:7:53
8-9-08 (8AB =HEBREW)
ISRAEL - TERROR- DAYLIGHT-
MISSILE - DISASTER - PLAGUE-
TERRORIST- POISON- CLOUD- CHLORINE
PRESIDENT BUSH- TO ANNIHILATE
DAMASCUS- BLAMED - GUILTY
HOLOCAUST - FIRE - DESTRUCTION
WILL DIE


The date of 8AB in Hebrew is 8-9-08. It is possible that at the same time terrorists crash a plane into the Sears Tower (USA) on the nite of 8-8-08, ISRAEL is hit by a terror attack, in the morning ("daylight") of 8-9-08, a simultaneous attack.

The Hebrew word for both "disaster" and "plague" is MICAH and this is encoded "11" times. CHLORINE is encoded once and could mean a chlorine "bomb" that releases a deadly cloud of poison gas.

This Bible Code says Israel will blame Damascus (Syria) and launch an attack = DAMASCUS -FIRE- DESTRUCTION. This code seems to say Israel will launch a nuclear missile at Damascus. This code is clear that President Bush will be ally with ISRAEL in the aftermath of this simultaneous terror attack, connecting both Bible Codes.

BIBLE CODE III

CODE LOCATION: GEN:31:32
8-10-08 (9AB=HEBREW)
ISRAEL - WAR - TERROR -
DAMASCUS- CHINA- WAR

The 9th AB is a historic day of DOOM for Israel. On the 9AB, 586 BC, Babylon invaded Jerusalem and destroyed the temple, 9AB, 70 AD, Rome invaded Jerusalem and destroyed the temple for the seconds time, 9AB 1492 AD, Spain expelled all Jews, and 9Am 1942, Hitler activated the first death camps at Treblinka, Poland.

This Bible Code says on 9AB, 2008, (8-10-08) Israel will be at war against Terrorists and many Muslim nations as THE USA simultaneously hits Iran with a massive attack to destroy their nuclear weapons program, NAMMUZ is the major nuclear facility in Iran. This coded also suggests that China will go to war with The USA and possibly Israel.

MORE TO COME ON THIS DIRE
9AB 2008 CODE (AUG 10 08).

IF THESE THREE CODES HAPPEN- 8.8.08, 8.9.08 and 8:10.08, THIS WAR WILL EXPAND, CAUSE GLOBAL TERRORISM AND CHAOS AND TRIGGER THE BIBLICAL APOCALYPSE BY SEPTEMBER 2008

THIS MEANS THE FIRST OF TWO RAPTURES AND THE COMING OF ANTICHRIST COULD BE JUST MONTHS AWAY.

WATCH AND BE READY

God Bless in these END Times
Pastor Harry/CH of PHL-INT

fn: Many places in The Old Testament speak of the destruction of DAMASCUS (Syria) by "fire" and that DAMASCUS will "cease to be a city". This suggests a nuclear strike

fn2: "CHICAGO" is encoded 1311 times in The Bible Code and this suggests this city will be the target of a major terror attack, a ghastly repeat of "911" and The WTC.

The Shamrock Shuffle Run In Chicago

There will be an estimated 35,000 people running in the streets of Chicago today for the annual Shamrock Shuffle run.

The eight kilometer race is in its 29th year. It is supposed to be the mark of springtime! It doesn't feel like it in Detroit!
