Pretty funny. I think this is funnier:

- Guttu said the boy's odyssey began Sunday when he took an Acura that
was left running outside a neighbor's house, only to be spotted by
police near the interchange of Interstate 5 and State Route 512.
Police pursued young Booker on Highway 512 at 80-90 mph until he took
an exit and the engine blew, after which the car went over a curb and
coasted into a tree.

- Last month he also crashed a stolen car before being caught by police
in Tacoma, and more recently he was caught in Seattle in a stolen car
that had run out of gas, his mother said. She believes he learned to
drive from playing video games on a PlayStation.

- "Putting a 9-year-old in our facility with our population is not a
good thing," said Shelly Maluo, the county's juvenile court
administrator.

Having an incorrigible and chronic runaway 9 year old out stealing cars
and driving at high velocity must have been deemed "a better thing" and
the odds well evaluated that this little angel would never think of or
dare to steal an airplane...

I'm pulling for the adventurous little tyke.

I say ship him to his grandpa's house, in Duluth, MN. Let's see how he does
with some Great Lakes ore freighters.

Me, too! It's the parents who should go to jail.

Makes sense to me. In England they used to send kids like this off to
the Royal Navy. Only requirement: They must have two opposing teeth
in their head...

A ten-year-old boy once enlisted in the US Navy, with his superiors' full
knowledge of his age. Even more interesting, the boy enlisted in the middle of
the Atlantic Ocean, having sailed with the ship weeks earlier.

Mind you, this was about 195 years ago....

Wow...

Reminds me of "back in the day" when Detroit's two main newspapers (when
they were still *seperate* operations...) used to print a schedule of when
the larger or better known fleets' ships would be "upbound" or "downbound"
on the Detroit River.

These days, 9 years old is the new 10.

47 in two weeks ...the new 9.
Super Bowl? What? No, no, no. It's a birthday party, for ME. So, when do we
open presents? How about halftime - you did bring presents? A bag of Doritos
is not a birthday present! "I WANT #%^&*#$%^* PRESENTS!"

I started giving my age in hexadecimal years ago. You're not turning an old 47,
you're still a year shy of the big 3-0! :-)
