MIAMI, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Three burglars took a break from a $100,000 high-end perfume heist so they could buy tools to get into a locked warehouse in Miami, police said Thursday.  Investigators released video from security cameras that caught the Sept. 27 break-in and still pictures from the store where the men bought more tools after discovering they did not have the equipment they needed, The Miami Herald reported. Once they got in, the trio loaded a white Econoline van with Chanel perfumes.

You see, it's important to join the Boy Scouts.  Then you'll be taught always to be prepared.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Nearly half of Americans surveyed for a new poll said "whatever" was the most annoying word that could be used in a conversation.  The Marist Poll received votes for "You know" and "anyway," but they weren't even close to the 47 percent that pegged "whatever" as something that had definitely run its course.  The breakdown found "whatever" to be particularly tiresome among respondents in the Midwest, Latinos and people under 45 years old.

Whatever made people think this way?
