BORON, Calif., Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A Swiss artist plans to bury an intact Boeing 727 jetliner in California's Mojave Desert and build a tourist tunnel to give visitors a chance to view the underground project.
Christoph Buchel has applied for a Kern County conditional-use permit that will allow him to bury the 153-foot-long decommissioned airliner west of Boron. It's not far from the desert's aircraft boneyard.
The project, dubbed "Terminal," already has planning department staff approval.
The jetliner would be buried 38 feet below the surface.
Visitors will be able to experience the subterranean art project via an underground tunnel connecting the plane to a parking area. They'll be able to use the plane's restrooms, which will be connected to a septic system.
"At this point in time, we've received no letters in opposition to it," said Scott Denney, operations division chief for the county Planning Department. "But we have received a lot of inquiries."
MERIDEN – Connecticut (Reuters) – A pre-kindergarten boy who announced to his teacher at snack time that he wanted to share pulled nine bags of marijuana out of his jacket pocket, police said on Wednesday.
Police in Meriden, Connecticut, some 20 miles south of Hartford, were called to Hanover Elementary School Tuesday afternoon after the 4-year-old special needs student displayed the drugs, authorities said.
Meriden police said the nine individually wrapped bags of marijuana appeared prepared for sale.
Hanover Elementary School principal Miguel Cardona called it an "extremely unfortunate" and "isolated" incident that was not witnessed by any other students.
"What's so disheartening is this is really an adult issue and problem and adult behavior put a student at risk," Meriden schools superintendent Mark Benigni told Reuters.
"This student had no idea what he brought to school or what the substance was," he added.
Authorities are not releasing the names of the student or parents and police said there is a possibility for arrests pending the outcome of the investigation.
The Department of Children and Families is also looking into the incident.
ORANGE PARK, Fla., Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said a teenager who broke into a home found himself swiftly being detained by the homeowner, a police officer.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a report of a home invasion Sunday in Orange Park and found Jacksonville Police Officer Garret Osilka restraining the suspect, Jarvis Guthrie, 18, WJXT-TV, Jacksonville, reported Wednesday.
Osilka, who said he did not know the teenager, told deputies he and his wife awoke around 3 a.m. Sunday to loud noises outside their home, and he soon heard the suspect force his way through the front door.
Osilka said he restrained Guthrie after a physical struggle and called deputies.
Guthrie was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling with intent to commit battery.
PARANA, Brazil - The incident was caught on a security camera during the bank job in a small town in the state of Parana.
The thief was guarding the door of the bank while the rest of the gang went inside.
He was seen holding two guns in the bank's entrance while his two partners took a money bag inside.
Everything was going well until he lowered his right arm and shot his own foot.
The thief left the bank limping and was arrested on the same night when he went to hospital for treatment.
Police are still searching for the rest of the gang.
The robbery happened last week but the footage has now been released by police.

Patriots going to beat the Giants
Something to Think About:
1. I am incapable of typing the last name Bronson – It always comes out Broncos.
2. It doesn’t matter how old you get, you’re always a little jealous of the kid who gets a Nerf gun as a gift.
3. Droid – Too powerful to fall into the wrong hand
4. Announcement: There are no announcements
5. I’m always surprised when I see a really ugly pregnant woman
6. Any girl can be the girl next door if you live in the right neighborhood
7. 4th and inches plays are kind of crap. How are the line judges really able to see where the ball gets to in the midst of that pile?
This is Spinal Tap:
Characters:
Marty Di Bergi – Rob Reiner
Nigel Tuffnel – Christopher Guest (Also is the guy who invented the pain machine in the Princess Bride)

Derrick – Harry Shearer - Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, Kent Brockman, Dr. Hibbert, Lenny Leonard, Principal Skinner, Otto Mann and Rainier Wolfcastle
Ian Faith – Tony Hendra

Scenes:
-Derrick gets stuck inside his clear pod as the other two guys are playing on stage.
-Nigel backstage can’t figure out the small bread.
-Airport security scene – Zucchini wrapped in tin foil in Derrick’s pants
-Stonehenge – 18 inch Stonehenge monument is lowered and nearly trampled by a dwarf.
-Jeannine gives out new costume ideas for the band members based on their zodiological signs.
Notes:
The band goes through several names. First “The Originals, then the New Originals, then the Thamesmen, then Spinal Tap.
Flower power era band – Album “Listen to the Flower People”
There is no actual "Isle of Lucy" in the United Kingdom off England's coast, where Spinal Tap supposedly played a blues/jazz or jazz/blues festival. In one of the most subtle and overlooked gags of the film, they are really just paying homage to the classic television show, I Love Lucy.
Quotes:
Ian Faith: The Boston gig has been cancelled...
David St. Hubbins: What?
Ian Faith: Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's not a big college town.
David St. Hubbins: What?
Ian Faith: Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's not a big college town.
David St. Hubbins: I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything.
Big Bottom:
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
I met her on Monday, 'twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
