The owner of a pizzeria in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is being hail a hero after taking on an armed robber with nothing but a pizza peeler (which is basically a huge spatula). 'Morning Express' host Robin Meade gives us the play-by-play as the pizza shop's surveillance footage shows the botched robbery attempt in progress. "Watch the owner smack the guy down with a giant pizza spatula thingy, over and over again, until he dropped the gun and tried to bolt!" Robin reports.
The shop owner remembers the robber saying, "'I'm not playing. I have a gun, give me everything.' And I had a chance, I said let me take my chance, and I just hit him on the gun and he dropped the gun." Pizza shop employees were able to hold down the suspect until the police arrived.

I don't think I'd risk my life like this. A spatula isn't exactly guaranteed success. Speaking of pizza though, check out Pizza Pronto on Http://bit.ly/GamesForFree It's pretty safe to say that won't involve armed robbery or self-defense.

In today's economic climate we all need to find ways to make our money go further. I know I was concerned about my Christmas shopping this year until I discovered an amazing penny auction site online Http://tinyurl.com/OnlineAuctionDeals Penny auctions were new to me until a few weeks ago but now I am regularly saving hundreds of dollars on things like iPads, gift cards, cameras and smart phones. I even got a $200 Best Buy gift card there for $33. I'm going to do all my Christmas shopping there and I will spend less and get more than ever before.
