Mankind has created spectacular works of art, engineered incredibly tall buildings, designed impressive supercomputers, lived in outerspace, discovered cures for nasty diseases. As a whole, nothing can compare to human intelligence, but sometimes, humans will do anything to avoid working the weekend.

Mar 30 2007 - AP
Police say a Kearney woman went to extremes to avoid working the weekend. Brandy Killin, 26, faces a felony charge of threatening to use an explosive after she allegedly phoned a bomb threat in to her employer to get out of work.

Police said Killin called First National Omaha, a credit card service center, at 9:52 a.m. Saturday from a pay phone. Killin was supposed to report to work at 10 a.m. She was arrested Tuesday.

If convicted, Killin could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. She has worked at the company for three months, according to court records.
