Shouting Man

A man in Australia was crossing a street and started ranting at the driver of a car.  A dashcam in the car caught it all on video.  Even the part where the pedestrian, who was so focused on the car, didn't notice a pole in front of him.  He smacked into the pole which caused the driver to laugh and the pedestrian to rant and scream some more.  karma

Shark

A 73-year-old man was out fishing when a "catch" jumped into his boat.  It was a 440 pound shark.  The critter somehow ended up jumping high enough to land in the boat and injure the man's arm.  The Coast Guard came to the man's rescue and almost didn't believe the story until they saw the shark for themselves. They said that there are a lot of sharks in that area but they've never heard of one jumping in a boat.   strange boat mate

Cops in Pennsylvania discovered about $1600 worth of cocaine in a parking lot.  They have placed it in their lost and found box and have invited the owner to retrieve it.  In order to prove that they are the true owner, they must provide a picture of them holding the drug, a photo ID, and a written statement saying that the drug is theirs.  Think anyone will claim it?  lost and found

To Catch a Phone Thief

A man in Florida stole a cell phone when the owner let him use it.  The police were notified and used a unique way to catch the thief.  They called the phone using facetime.  The idiot answered the phone...busted.  There's no denying that you have a stolen phone when your face shows up on facetime.  screenshot

Two men fishing in an Indiana Creek found an alligator.  It's was 2 1/2 feet long and no one knows how it got there.  Although a conservation officer said that it was probably a pet that grew too big and was released in the creek.  One of the men is caring for the alligator until a permanent home can be found.  Bedford, Indiana

Alligator vs. Car

An alligator was crossing I-75 in Florida.  Unfortunately for the critter, Jennifer Rosinski was traveling that stretch of road in her SUV.  She hit the gator and the accident sent her car flipping many times.  The outcome for her was much better than it was for the alligator though.  Jennifer managed to walk away with just bruises and a small cut under her eye.  She said that it was her first major accident and was surprised that it was a "car vs. alligator" accident.  

Only in Minnesota

A shopper in a Walmart was startled when a deer ran into him.  The critter had wandered into the store probably looking for a snack.  It entered through the garden center doors.  Tom Grasswick of Deer Creek was shopping at the Wadena Walmart when the incident ocurred and his first instinct was to tackle the deer.  He covered the deer's eyes so it would calm down and then held the animal down on a pallet of dog food.  He and other customers managed to safely get the deer outside and let it go.  shopping deer

Male Tortoiseshell Kitten

I thought it wasn't possible but a male Tortoiseshell kitten has been found.  The chromosomes needed for a cat to be orange and black make it almost impossible for a male kitten to have those colors.  Now for maybe the first time ever, one has been born.  It's at a shelter and they have already had over 350 offers to adopt.  He's not quite old enough to go to a furever home yet so the vetting process won't happen right away.  Whoever gets this kitten will be very lucky and had best take great care of it.  I love tortoiseshell cats and would definitely love to have this one but I know it won't happen.  rare kitten

A man in Argentina fell out of a tree while he was trying to prune it.  He landed on his head and lost consciousness for a while.  When he woke up, his dog was "hugging" him.  The dog wouldn't even let rescue workers near his "person" at first.  Now that's devotion!  The dog had been rescued from the streets 4 years before and his owner says "I give him all my love and he gives me everything back."  true love

In Nashville, TN a church was visited by a couple of code inspectors.  The two paid a $40 cover charge to enter the church and found that it was being used as a sex club.  In 2015, the sex club moved to a run down office building and decided to call themselves a church because they were located too close to a school.  And now, the City is working to close the club.  sex club

Extra in Used Game

An 11-year-old boy in Florida went to a gaming store to buy a used game.  He traded some of his old games to get the one he wanted.  When he opened the package, he found a bag of methamphetamine inside the game booklet.  The mother was livid when she called the store and they directed her to call the corporate offices.  She's very upset because it's happened before at a different branch of this gaming store and if her son had accidently ingested some of the meth, it would've been extremely bad for him.  meth in game

Upstairs Neighbor

There's a house for sale in South Carolina that is a duplex.  But it's listed as a single family dwelling because there's a permanent tenant upstairs.  There's a message to the people who buy the house that they should never go into the upstairs apartment, they won't get rent or a deposit, and they should never ask questions.  That's way too creepy for me but maybe someone will find it intriguing enough to buy the house. It's listed on Zillow and some have called it the "nightmare house."

Drunk Hillary

A woman in Pennsylvania was arrested for drunk driving and when police asked for her name, she told them that she was "Hillary Clinton."  She was chased by Troopers from Maryland into Pennsylvania and then taken to a hospital where she refused drug and alcohol testing.  Her next stop was jail.  Police don't know why she gave that name instead of her own.  Perhaps alcohol had a hand in that.  If she wanted to use a fake name, at least use one that isn't so recognizable.  fake name

Big Case of Beer

There are 6-packs, 12-packs, case of 24, and even 30-packs that stock the shelves in stores.  But how about a 1,000-pack of beer?  A brewery in Finland started selling the beer in large quantities because a rival brewery started selling 100-packs of beer.  The 1,000 pack can be yours for only $2,346.  I know some people who would love that much beer.  It might last about a month for some of them.  beer

grenade seized

In Wisconsin at General Mitchell International Airport, the TSA seized a smoking device that was made from an inert grenade.  Unfortunately the TSA doesn't really know that it's inert until it is inspected and that takes time and slows the line.  So they confiscated it even though it was marked as an art item.  smoking device

Ronald McDonald visits KFC

Seven people dressed as Ronald McDonald went to visit a KFC.  They chanted in line about how the food was s**t.  But they were standing in line for some so it must not be so bad.  The reason was probably that they were all holding beers while chanting.  Alcohol gives false confidence.  Many customers took cell phone videos of the incident.  clowns

Darth Vader mask

If you've got a few extra dollars laying around, you can buy a Darth Vader mask.  For only $1.4 million you could be the proud owner of a 24K gold Darth Vader mask.  It can't be worn because it would be too heavy and there's no opening for a head.  But it could be quite the conversation piece on the mantle.  It will be released on the unofficial Star Wars Day, May 4th.  If that's too much money and you'd like something cheaper, the jeweler responsible for the gold mask is also selling gold coins emblazoned with images of Luke Skywalker or Yoda that can be purchased for only $1,200.  Star Wars in gold

Bridgegate repeat

Commuters in Maryland were slowed by an obstruction in traffic on a bridge.  This time it wasn't lane closures to punish a neighboring town.  It was a pig.  The animal got away from the vehicle in which it was traveling and wandered through traffic.  It was eventually captured and traffic started moving again.  pig in the road
