——————-
In Las Vegas, U.S.A., three robbers broke a door and went into a tacos restaurant. They appeared on several security cameras in the shop. After getting the film, the owner made it into a commercial (CM) with some funny subtitles such as “Guy wants a tacos,” “So does his homeboy,” and “Guys frantically search for tacos.” At the end of the video, the owner added the name of his shop and a picture of delicious-looking tacos. Many people saw the video on YouTube and visited the shop. Because of the new customers, the damage to his restaurant didn’t bother the owner so much.  (written by a reader, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

One city in Germany decided to make its police dogs wear shoes in February 2008. This may sound like a strange fashion, but the police did it to protect the dogs’ paws. In one part of the city drunks leave broken bottles in the streets. Many dogs got injured by stepping on the broken glass. If the dogs wear special shoes, they don’t get cut by the glass. The biggest problem is getting the dogs used to wearing the shoes. According to the dog handler, it takes about two weeks for them to adapt. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
