Remember when a Michigan man was arrested after police caught him making sexy time with a car wash vacuum cleaner? Well his name is Jason LeRoy Savage and he just got 90 days in jail.

LeRoy was arrested back in October when witnesses observed him, er, making love to a car wash vacuum cleaner in the wee hours of the morning. Caught red-handed by police called to the scene by the horrified witnesses, he admitted to the lewd act and got tossed in the slammer. Yesterday in Saginaw County Circuit Court, the 29-year-old was sentenced to 90 days in jail along with mandatory drug testing after pleading no contest. You can't make this kind of thing up folks.

On October 18th, Police apprehended an unnamed Michigan man in the act of coitus with his chosen mistress of the night, a car wash vacuum cleaner. Police were alerted to the unnatural activities by eye witnesses and approached on foot around 6:45 AM finding the man in the act, disturbing as that thought might be. When commenting on the situation, Sgt. Gary Breidinger said "I've seen some strange things, but this is the weirdest thing I've ever heard." We're wondering how many quarters that kind of thing costs. [AP]

The Only Thing Dyson Sucks At Is Making Electric Cars

Remember all of the hubbub about James Dyson, the man behind the Dyson line of vacuums, tossing his hat into the electric vehicle ring? Yeah, not so much. A company spokesman eliminated the chance for years worth of "electric cars suck" puns, saying "James did say that our digital motor could power a car, but we are not working on, and have no plans to create, an electric car." So what do they have plans to create?

Even from the initial reports, it never seemed as though Dyson wanted assemble vehicles himself; rather, it seemed he was alluding to selling motors and technology to current automaker. So, while we take Dyson's statement that they're not working on an electric vehicle as truth, that doesn't mean we won't hear about the company in a vehicular capacity again at some point in the future.
