$15,000 burns


A man in Sydney Australia sold his car for $15,000. He wanted to hide the money until it was needed. His choice of a hiding place was not the best. He chose the oven because it was rarely used. Until...his children decided they wanted chicken nuggets and his wife turned on the oven. That was a very expensive meal. burned $$$

Young boy flies unaccompanied to Rome

Children fly unaccompanied all the time. There are certain safety measures put into place to make sure that the child is never alone and an adult must drop them off at the gate and a designated adult must pick them up on the other end. This young British boy somehow got onto a plane alone without a ticket. Security let him pass and apparently the gate attendants didn't ask him for one. He was discovered when other passengers noticed that he was alone. This happened just days before the Olympics were to start. So much for heightened security! boy flies to Rome

Dead man watched NASCAR


A woman kept her boyfriend around for at least 18 months after he died so that they could watch NASCAR together. Of course she cashed his social security check too so I don't think NASCAR was her only concern. Linda Chase of Michigan kept Charles Zigler clean, dressed, and sitting in his chair. They watch an entire season of NASCAR and then some until Zigler's family became worried that they hadn't heard from him in a while and that's when police found his body. dead man watching NASCAR

$11,000 for summer camp


Professional and Olympic coaches teach the children. Equestrian classes, broadway plays, and canoe trips are only a few of the things in which the children participate. The adult to child ratio is 1:2. But don't be too anxious to send your children--the waiting list is a long one. summer camp
