Random bits

1. Sign on Jake's, a bar on Eastern Blvd.: "If you drink to forget," it says, "please pay in advance."

2. If you've ever wondered whether having ads on your blog pays real money, I can testify that it does. As of yesterday, Google owed me all of one U.S. cent.

3. This story unfortunately leaves out some of the better details of the investigation into an illegal massage parlor in Las Vegas. (Yes, some things are illegal here. Like armed robbery. The ol' "what happens in Vegas" slogan ain't working, O.J.)

The police had just arrested one masseuse on prostitution charges and were asking one of the owners about the business. I have no idea what goes on behind those closed doors, the owner said, and I'm just here performing wraps and facials.

The detective was skeptical and asked to see the equipment used to warm towels. (I guess Vegas cops know their way around a spa. Go figure.) The owner pointed out, in the officer's words, "a rice cooker in the literal sense which did not look very sanitary."

A PDF of the very entertaining report is available here. (Click on agenda item 67.)

A rice cooker? You've got to be kidding me...

And a dirty rice cooker at that.
