Cameo Adawn Crispi, 32, is accused of trying to set fire to her ex-boyfriend’s home on March 14, 2014, with a pound of bacon left burning on a stove.

A Utah woman is accused of doing one of the most despicable things a person can do… abusing bacon.

Oh yeah, the awesomely-named Cameo Adawn Crispi, 32, of Uintah County, UT, is also accused of using a pound of the heavenly meat to try and start a fire in her ex-boyfriend’s house.

According to police, Ms. Crispi repeatedly called & drunk-texted her former lover while inside his home last March, where she left the bacon smoking over a lit burner.

Crispi, is facing charges of arson, burglary, assault by a prisoner, interfering with an arresting officer, electronic communication harassment and intoxication.

The first officer to reach the house said Crispi was obviously impaired and there was smoke coming out the front door.

“I asked to come in and observed a wood stove left open with a fire burning inside and hot coals on the floor around the stove,” the officer wrote, noting that he also found a pound of bacon sitting on a cookie sheet on top of the kitchen stove.

“I observed the burner to be on the setting ‘High’ and the bacon to be severely burned and smoking badly,” the officer wrote. Read More…

After police managed to get the fire extinguished, because she was so intoxicated, Crispi had to be taken to the hospital before she could be booked. She was found to have a 0.346 blood-alcohol content and when asked about the fire by the doctor treating her she replied, that it was to “…get back at (her ex-boyfriend).”

This brings a whole new meaning to drunk texting.

After successfully text messaging “O Canada” using evaporated vodka, two York Univ. researchers and their UK-based counterpart say their simple system can be used where conventional wireless technology fails.

“Chemical signals can offer a more efficient way of transmitting data inside tunnels, pipelines or deep underground structures. For example, the recent massive clog in the London sewer system could have been detected earlier on, and without all the mess workers had to deal with by sending robots equipped with a molecular communication system,” says Professor Andrew Eckford. The experiment was conducted in his lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science located in Lassonde School of Engineering at York University.

The chemical signal, using the alcohol found in vodka, was sent 4 m across the lab with the aid of a tabletop fan. It was then demodulated by a receiver that measured the rate of change in concentration of the alcohol molecules, picking up whether the concentration was increasing or decreasing.         Read the rest here…
