Really, I don't know how that got there!

This guy is obviously a few horns shy of a full orchestra. Gotta give him credit for being prepared though. Denver man sentenced for child porn, ID theft By The Denver Post Ralph Landers, 43, of Denver was sentenced to 16 1/2 years in federal prison this week after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, identity theft, fraud and other charges. That is how the story begins. Most definitely a model citizen. Then it tells how the authorities got on to him originally. Authorities became aware of Landers in March 2008, when he attempted to buy child pornography over the Internet using a fake credit card, according to court documents. Dude, a fake credit card? He missed internet purchasing of illicit materials 101. It continues...
