selfie idiot

A woman was taking a topless selfie for her boyfriend.  The worst part is that she was driving while she did it.  After she crashed into a patrol car...yes, she crashed into a cop...officers found an open bottle of wine in her cup holder.  She told the cops that she was taking the selfie which caused the accident.  I'm thinking that's part of the story that she should've kept to herself...I think the open alcohol was trouble enough for her.  underage drinking

not a toy

A 7-year old girl in Rochester NH was at a pizzeria with her family when she put money into a toy machine.  A small egg was dispensed but there was no toy in it.  Instead it had three pills in it.  After taking it to the police, it was determined the two of them were blood pressure meds and the third was for kidney stones.  The restaurant has removed all of their toy machines and is investigating along with the police.  surprise in plastic egg

self-driving truck

First it was google's self-driving car and now a semi that can deliver beer without a driver.  Budweiser had the truck built and it rolled out for it's first journey.  It's route took it from Fort Collins, CO through Denver and ended in Colorado Springs.  There was a licensed professional truck driver on board throughout the entire time to monitor the trip.  I'd have to take a double take if I saw any vehicle driving down the road without a driver.  here comes the beer

tree stunt

The man who blocked traffic while wearing a tree costume has said that it was performance art.  Asher Woodworth says that him inching across the busy intersection in Portland, Maine was "designed to reflect a contrast in the energies of economy and efficiency and the energies of slowness and magic."  But he was moving too slowly for the police and he was arrested.  He's out on $60 bail.  slow moving tree

cat mug shot

A man in Norman, OK wore a shirt with the mugshot of a cat on it...while the man was robbing a bank.  He claimed to have a gun but no weapon was visible.  He got away with money and now the FBI is involved.  Kind of ironic about the cat mugshot...hope he doesn't love the shirt because that's going to be a dead giveaway if he ever wears it again.  wrong shirt

tree blocking traffic

A man in Portland, Maine was arrested after he was warned by police not to block traffic.  He was charged with obstructing public way.  The man dressed as an evergreen tree and was in the road.  His friend said that he was jsut trying to study traffic patterns.  Wouldn't there be another way to do that?  tree

elephant love

Shirley and Jenny were in a circus together 22 years ago.  The elephants were separated after spending a winter together.  Now they are at the same sanctuary and workers didn't know whether they would remember each other.  Their reunion was caught on film.  See the touching video here
