\u27a2 Around 3:30 A.M. on Wednesday, an alarm went off at a Wells Fargo bank branch in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n
When the cops got there, they found a guy had broken a window to get inside the bank after hours. But he wasn’t there to rob the vault . . . or steal ANY money.\u00a0 No, all he wanted was some time with the MICROWAVE in the bank’s break room . . . so he could heat up some Hot Pockets.<\/p>\n
When the cops arrested him and asked him if it was worth it to break into a bank just to heat up some food, he said, quote, “Hell yeah, it was worth it.”<\/p>\n

And the National Fire Protection Association in the US issued a warning about the possibility, although it noted there must be an ignition source for a fire to occur. It said spontaneous combustion is highly unlikely unless a vehicle were to reach extreme temperatures. But experts still say you should store the stuff in a console or glove box to keep it away from direct sunlight, just in case.<\/p>\n \u27a2 Now the next question: Will hot temperatures render hand sanitizer ineffective? Jamie Alan, an assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University, says that hand sanitizer is dependent on the amount of ethanol content. And if enough ethanol [a form of alcohol] evaporates, the concentration could drop to one that is ineffective against the virus. While the interior of your car can reach 157 degrees (F) on a very hot day, alcohol boils at 173 degrees. So, while unlikely, if you live in an especially hot area, it\u2019s not impossible. But if your hand sanitizer did reach that temperature, you\u2019d know it: Your sanitizer would look different or the cap would pop off from the pressure and cause a mess.<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Most Common Nightmares We Have <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Have you ever felt mad at someone for something they did to you in a DREAM?\u00a0 42% of people in a new poll said yes.\u00a0 It also asked about nightmares in general.\u00a0 Here are the ten most common nightmares we have, according to the poll . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The survey also found the top things currently keeping us up at night are coronavirus news . . . personal life stress . . . and general aches and pains.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n THURSDAY MAY 28TH<\/sup> \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [56] Phil Vassar, country singer<\/p>\n [35] Carey Mulligan, actress (\u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d, \u201cDrive\u201d)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n An ex-felon in Nashville who calls himself a “criminal justice advocate” is\u00a0facing<\/a>\u00a0charges after planning to help with a massive escape.\u00a0 Police say Alexander Friedman planned to hide assault rifles and other guns in the walls of a prison that was under construction, plus extra ammo.\u00a0 And he’d set up a practice area in his basement to rehearse it all.\u00a0 They arrested him earlier this year when he was caught trespassing while dressed as a construction worker.\u00a0 They ended up finding a stockpile of 21 guns in his home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Brad Paisley Crashed a Nursing Event Zoom Call to Give Props, but Refused to Play “Free Bird”<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BRAD PAISLEY<\/strong>\u00a0recently worked his way into a Zoom call during Vanderbilt University’s 2020 State of Nursing event.\u00a0 Over 600 nurses took part in the call at different times, and they were a very good audience.<\/p>\n He started out by interrupting a guy who seemed to be running the show.\u00a0 He said, quote, “Wait, wait, wait.\u00a0 Haven’t these nurses been through enough [without] being put through this presentation right now?\u00a0 I’m here to save these nurses.”<\/p>\n He gave props to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, calling it “fine-tuned and exquisite.”\u00a0 And then cracked a few more jokes before getting to the point and thanking the nurses for what they do.<\/p>\n He also grabbed his guitar and took requests for anything EXCEPT\u00a0“Free Bird”<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 He ended up playing\u00a0“No I in Beer”<\/strong><\/em>, which includes the very appropriate lyric, “Every nurse that needs a break, let me buy you a drink . . . there ain’t no ‘I’ in beer.”<\/p>\n The call was last week, and the\u00a0video<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was posted yesterday.<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n KIP MOORE ON LIVESTREAM PERFORMANCES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Artists these days are sharing their music via livestream performances whether for charity or just pure entertainment.\u00a0Kip Moore\u00a0<\/strong>has done a handful of such performances, but he tells us that in all honesty he’s not a fan.\u00a0[“I love playing by myself, like I’ve been sitting around here at this lodge just playing all the time but it honestly feels a little awkward for me, but I know that it brings levity to people so I wanted to do it, but it takes the human element out of playing.
