This is True
A police dispatcher in West Fargo, N.D., thought it was a joke when someone called at 3:15 a.m. and asked where to buy marijuana. The dispatcher told the woman that marijuana is illegal, but the woman insisted. Fine, the dispatcher said: they had some in the evidence locker and if she stopped by, he could "hook her up." Sure enough, "the dispatcher got on the intercom and said, 'You know what? She's here. She just handed me $3 for marijuana'," said an amazed officer, Ken Zeeb. He stepped to the station lobby and arrested Grace Sium, 20, a junior at North Dakota State University. Zeeb says Sium didn't appear high or drunk, and didn't seem surprised to be arrested. This is something that you couldn't even make up, he said. (Fargo Forum). Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense.

Mafs shrine to DCI Hunt (Life on Mars) gets ever more extensive at http://www.mafster.co.uk/space/files/audio
and there's a good chance it'll soon be moving to Mafs new site SoopaDoopa.tv. If you watch a tv show that inspires you enough to write something about it then SoopaDoopa.tv is looking for you. Maf is after submissions (essays, episode guides, trivia etc) about TV that's ...well...SoopaDoopa. Mafs current favourites are: Life On Mars, Hustle, Lost, Prison Break.
