Extra, Extra

+ Via the Gothamist Newsmap: there were three bank robberies between 2:26pm and 2:43pm today-- banks in Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx were hit. And someone threatened to "Burn The Statue Of Liberty"!
+ Slightly less bad-ass than bank robbery: getting falsely-busted on the G-train for littering!
+ Brilliant: the MetroCard Bonus Calculator "is primarily useful if you've got a MetroCard (from the New York City subway system) with an odd balance (such as you get if you take a ride on PATH) and want to get back to a value that's evenly divisible by $2, but hate to lose out on the the 20% bonus."
+ More bad news for Hevesi: Spitzer says he might withdraw his support. If that happens, will Hevesi resign?
+ The slowest bus in the city is the M14A, moving at 3.9 miles per hour: "The average speed of a pedestrian is three miles per hour."
+ How cool would it be to get your graduate degree from the American Museum of Natural History? They should throw in one of those stuffed birds for free with every diploma!
+ The former editor of The Source won $15.5m for sexual harassment: she had to "endure toiling under pictures of G-string-wearing women that hung on the walls and tolerate regular cursing."
+ Good news for trannies: they can now use the women's room at Grand Central Terminal!
+ Razorapple visited the soon-to-be-destroyed Hewitt Building on Third Avenue. Apparently, the grad students getting evicted from their studio spaces are really pissed off.
