Former Wentworth cops plead guilty to being yutzes
The two erstwhile officers at the Wentworth Institute of Technology got 30 days probation today for attempting to sell college GPS and surveying equipment on eBay, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Jonathan Carroll, Jr, 28, and Jay Cunha, 27, were charged with removing $40,000 worth of equipment from a storage unit and putting it up for sale. Unfortunately for them, another employee noticed the equipment was missing the very next day, the DA's office says. Other Wentworth officers checked out eBay to see if any of the equipment turned up there and then tracked the pair down by contacting somebody who made a successful $4,500 bid for one of the devices - a Trimble 5800 GPS.
The college was able to retrieve all of the missing equipment, the DA's office says.

Wheelock to stand in for Harvard
Sam Baltrusis reports the Fenway school is being cast as the World's Greatest University in Justin Timberlake's movie about Facebook:
Crews spent the afternoon of Monday, Oct. 19 covering the college stand-in with fake snow.
For a touch of realism, they should then line the neighboring streets with chairs and fake broken end tables.

Graphic depiction of turkey abuse at Emmanuel College
Ah, freshmen. A pair of Emmanuel students, unaware that turkeys are everywhere in the medical district, attempt to herd one off campus and into "the woods" along the Muddy River. They panic the poor bird onto the Riverway, where only by the grace of God does it avoid getting filleted by a speeding Subaru. The one saving grace of the whole sordid episode: The sprained ankle one of the guys manages to get when he exerts himself:
Via Wicked Local Brookline (in Brookline, turkeys don't put up with stuff like this).
