Hmm. Sounds pretty interesting to me; I can only imagine looking down and seeing my penis animated in 24 bit color.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (UPI) -- Seven Gainesville musicians who say they
were only singing have petitioned the state attorney to drop trespassing
charges from a July 17 arrest.
Members of the unconventional a capella singing group Sumac were
arrested after seven officers and two police dogs listened to their
``yipping, chanting, and moaning'' inside a four-wall racquetball court
at a public park.
Gainesville Police Department spokesman Sgt. Don Dennis said one
officer ``thought it was some type of religious ceremony.''
Sumac leader Jill Burton, 40, said group members liked the acoustics
of the enclosed racquetball court and were unaware the park had an 11:30
p.m. curfew.
Burton said the police were polite but overreacted.

Police Chase Goes On And On
(Tampa, Florida) -- Authorities say a 118-mile police chase through
Florida for a robbery suspect was "just a pleasant drive through the
country."
The chase Friday rarely exceeded the speed limit and everyone obeyed the
traffic signals. Sheriff's deputies didn't want to cause an accident.
A spokesman for the sheriff of Hillsborough County says "they were just
driving around like it was a parade."
The chase lasted an hour and 37 minutes. Officers had to stop for gas
twice.
The chase finally ended near the Tampa suburb of Brandon, when an
annoyed deputy pulled alongside the suspect and shouted, "All right,
that's enough now, pull over!" [AP]
