In this sheriff's office, like several other law enforcement agencies, ranks jump from junior officers (lieutenant, captain) straight to flag rank (1 star for chief deputy, 2 stars for assistant sheriff, 3 stars for under sheriff, 4 stars for sheriff).

Scale modeling -- you can pick up a cheap kit at a big box craft store with some paint and glue for $40. Before you know it, you're importing specialty kits from Japan, rigging up a spray booth in your basement for your airbrush, and taking trips to air museums to get reference photos of the zinc chromate primer for a cockpit interior.

Is it stolen honor to pretend to be a marine by eating crayons?

Residents visited the site on Saturday night to see the cylinder, the ABC reported, with one local describing it as a "great social evening". "It was a lovely, still night, the kids were digging sand castles around it," he told the ABC.

I sure hope there's no hypergolics left in that tank.
