CAPTION: Tweet, tweet, I thought I saw a police officer
IT'S safe to say Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Ken Lay isn't the grooviest bloke in Australia.
But the bespectacled police face of state road safety is the latest convert to the wonderful world of Twitter.
Mr Lay will tweet tonight, posting updates on a surprise major breathalyser blitz to be launched somewhere in the state.
He will discuss the "embarrassingly boozy breath readings recorded" of twits caught by police, Victoria Police said.
He'll also be sacrificing his Milo and slippers for the night to try to connect with young drivers in the hope of making them realise the dangers of getting behind the wheel under the influence...

CAPTION: KFC Idiot Manager
KFC has been ordered to pay $15,000 to a young worker as compensation for sexual harassment by an assistant manager who "growled" at her like a cat, dragged her by the leg across a floor, and asked her to swim naked at Bondi Beach.
The NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal found the then teenage worker had been sexually harassed and it was satisfied that she would have been offended, humiliated or intimidated by the assistant manager's conduct at KFC's Punchbowl store in Sydney, The Australian reports.
The worker alleged the assistant manager on about four occasions in 2007 told her "you have a nice arse", and on about 10 occasions, said, "I wouldn't mind if the buttons on your top went all the way down".
She alleged he said, "I wouldn't mind rooting your sister", and also told her mother, "if you were single, I would have you". She claimed he said "you would go wild if drunk".

However, she instead stripped him and cuffed him to a heater with a pair of fluffy pink handcuffs. She then fed him Viagra and raped him several times over the next four days. ...

CAPTION: SHEEP SHRINK
ANOTHER clue has been found in the Case of the Shrinking Sheep, an animal mystery in which climate change features as the principal culprit. The tale of scientific sleuthing is unfolding on two Scottish islands, Soay and Hirta, in the remote Outer Hebrides.
Their sole inhabitants are wild sheep which probably arrived there with the first human settlers some 4000 years ago.
The sheep's isolation and lack of predators make them terrific candidates for studying the impact of weather, food and genetics on a wild animal population.
