Watercooler StoriesMIAMI, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- A Florida Indian tribe is considering a lawsuit against a former bodyguard who has staked claims to Web domain names. Steve Thiele has registered www.miccosukeetribeofindians.com and www.miccosukeetribeofindiansofflorida.com. He has also staked out www.billycypress.com, with the name of the tribal chairman, The Miami Herald reported. ''I told them I'm not looking to sell it, but you can buy it,'' said Thiele. The sites all lead viewers to 1stunna.com, which includes a picture of Thiele and information about his past, including a 7-year prison sentence for assault. Thiele said he wants $500,000 from the tribe, while the Miccosukee have offered him amounts that started at $5,000 and have hit $100,000 so far. The Miccosukee, who live in the Everglades, operate a casino on the Tamiami Trail near Miami. Howard Neu, a lawyer specializing in domain disputes, said Thiele's chances in court are poor because the tribal name is trademarked. But Thiele is adamant.
LONDON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Nearly 60 million pieces of junk mail are sent to dead people in Britain every year, postal officials say. The avalanche of letters from insurance firms, credit card companies and catalog stores grieve relatives of the deceased and can lead to identity theft, The Daily Telegraph reported.

LONDON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- British transportation officials say digital road signs displaying a frowning face to speeders do little to make drivers slow down. The rectangular black signs, featured on more than 1,000 roads, were widely ignored after being installed, The Daily Telegraph reported. The signs proved to have only a Police and transportation officials initially favored the frowning signs to reduce speeding because the signs cost about $6,000 each, as compared to $40,000 for a traffic radar camera, the Telegraph reported. CHICAGO, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- A Chicago tavern known as a hangout for White Sox baseball fans has taken a high, hard one from an appeals court that says it must vacate its South Side home. Jimbo's Lounge, located about a block away from U.S. Cellular Field on Chicago's Armour Park, had been fighting eviction by the owners of its building since 2006. It looks like Jimbo's finally struck out Friday, when the Illinois Appellate Court upheld a decision by a Cook County judge ordering it to vacate the premises, The Chicago Tribune reported.
Jimbo's had been at the location for more than 22 years, catering to two generations of White Sox fans, but a rental dispute that began when its lease ran out in 2006 imperiled its future.
The Tribune said Jimbo's owners, Joseph and Joyce Levato, couldn't be reached for comment. Publication date: 06 October 2008 Source: UPI-1-20081006-06301200-bc-watercooler.xml Archive
