Police were hunting a trio of would-be robbers in Mississauga last night, after they tried unsuccessfully to hold up an armoured car outside a bank.

It was just after 9:30 p.m. when a pair of armed guards were working outside a TD Bank on Southdown Road, just north of Royal Windsor Drive and immediately adjacent to the entrance for the Clarkson GO Train Station.

They were approached by three men, who sources said were armed with a pellet gun, but the guards weren't having any of it.

Sooo Meaty

His parents are mad because a supermarket won't personalize a cake for their three-year-old son, Adolph Hitler Campbell. The store says it's in bad taste to send birthday wishes to Adolph Hitler.

When asked for comment, his younger siblings, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, said "cookie!" and "aiiieee!", respectively.

From a longer article about the family:

The Campbells said they wanted their children to have unique names and didn't expect the names to cause problems.

Duh.

There's an Elvis movie quiz over at Any Major Dude With Half A Heart. I don't think I've ever seen a single Elvis movie, so I'll take the zero. But, the clues are funny to me, because of their wacky 60's Pick-A-Premise-From-A-Hat absurdity:

• Elvis is a singing heir to a pineapple plantation in Hawaii ...
• Elvis is a singing swimming pool lifeguard who couldn’t cut it in the circus.
• Elvis is a singing rodeo rider
• Elvis is a singing bush pilot who takes care of a little Chinese kid.
• Elvis is a singing rodeo rider (again), but with an ethnic twist: he is of Native-American descent.
• Elvis is a ghetto doctor who doesn’t sing an awful lot. But he falls in love.
• ... and my favorite: Elvis is a singing insurance salesman who moonlights as a lion tamer and falls in love with the circus clown’s daughter.

Yes, I know Elvis didn't sing "Vehicle" (but he could have).
