Nordin Ben Allal, the so-called ‘Belgium Jailbreak King’ was captured once again in the Netherlands after his fourth escape from prison. From BBC:

Sentenced for a series of violent crimes, Benallal’s earlier escapes had seen him run from a prison van, walk out of jail wearing a wig and sunglasses and scale a prison wall with a rope ladder.

His latest escape was no less dramatic. Telegraph.co.uk reports:

Armed accomplices hijacked a helicopter and forced the pilot to land in the grounds of the high-security Ittre jail, 25 miles south of Brussels, during exercise time.

But the interference of other inmates hoping to hitch a ride made take-off impossible and the vehicle spun out of control, injuring the pilot and several of the prisoners.

The impact of the crash severed the inmate’s leg, local media reported.

In the chaos, however, Ben Allal and an accomplice managed to flee the prison grounds in a car decked out to look like a police vehicle, complete with blue flashing light.

Somebody get this man a movie deal. I hope you’re taking notes,David Blaine.

Trinity gave a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘multilateral’ last weekend. Wow.

This was dug up on the Quickwits Blog, out of Houston Texas. It’s from the Soundcraftsman’s Video Demo from DJ Nick Nack out of Austin. There’s a whole interview with Nick Nack at the above link.

As if motorcycle racing was’t enough of a suicidal adrenaline rush, someone got the great idea to strap their best buddy on the side of the bike before doing 100+ mph.

It’s called Sidecar racing, and (no surprise) it produces some pretty serious crash reels. Photos courtesy of www.sidecarracers.com.

Marc Levin, director of the new film “Mr. Untouchable” about the life and crimes of Nicky Barnes comments:

“My take away headline was: MR UNTOUCHABLE AND AMERICAN GANGSTER ENDORSE GIULIANI FOR PREZ. I was amazed how both Barnes and Lucas went on about how Guiliani was a man of integrity although they hedged their support by saying if they had to put down money, they would bet that Hillary Clinton will win and be the next President. Nicky recalled how Guiliani wrote a note to President Reagan on his behalf. Frank chimed in about the former Mayor’s merits. Some New York City firemen and police may hate Guiliani but two of the biggest drug dealers in the history of the city believe Rudi Guiliani is the man who should be the next President of the United States.� link

“Mr. Untouchable” is now showing in select cities.

Spiegal Online reports that Rolf Eden, the 77 year old German playboy and dirtbag credited with bringing the first ‘discotheque’ to Germay, is suing a 19 year old woman for not having sex with him.

“According to Bild Zeitung on Thursday, the 77-year-old Eden has filed suit against a 19-year-old Berlin woman for the following reason: Despite a night on the town with Eden, which ended back at his place, she refused to have sex with him, saying the he was too old for her.”

If the courts rule in favor of Mr. Eden, who claims he was a victim of ageism, it could set a precedent for old men all over the world suing young women for not fornicating with them. On the other hand, it could also set a precedent for said men waking up to find their genitals have been relocated to a nearby corn field. Let’s weigh the pros and cons, gentlemen.
