Crude Message about the President

A digital sign on I-80 in California was hacked and message about Donald Trump was displayed. It reads, "Trump has herpes."

It's comical but still illegal.  There are plenty of things to say about Trump, but if one is a lie, it's no better than his lies.  Source: Huffington Post

Flying Spaghetti Monster

The Flying Spaghetti Monster Church is an anti-religion organization and has been denied the chance to advertise on the outskirts of German towns.  Churches usually put advertising at the entrance to towns and the Flying Spaghetti Monster Church wanted to do the same.  But the courts didn't rule in their favor.  Source: Yahoo News

Stupid Car Thief

A 1966 yellow Ford GT40 replica went missing in Iowa.  The owner wanted to get it out of storage and notice that it was gone.  Police arrested a man after he was seen driving the car but it was no longer yellow.  The thief used crude black paint to try to disguise the car but it didn't fool anyone.  Residents helped police find the car after they saw portions of the yellow showing under the black paint.  Source: UPI

Hero Boat Captain

Jordan Smith, captain of The Profishonal from Let's Fish Denton Charter in Florida was on his way to pick up people for a fishing trip.  He noticed movement on a nearby bridge and watched as someone threw something into the water.  When he reached the "trash" he realized that it was a cat.  He used a net to scoop the feline out of the water.  Wet and scared, the cat clung to his arm.  He had a friend take it to a vet to be checked and he plans to name it Miracle when it becomes a permanent part of his family.  That's a true hero.  Source: UPI

Stick Shift

There aren't many of us left that can drive a manual transmission.  This includes three men in Columbia, SC who robbed and tried to kidnap a 20-year old college student.  They took her phone and purse but couldn't get away in her car so they made her drive them to the ATM and then to a relative's house.  But on the way, she put the car in neutral and jumped out of the driver's seat.  Bet she's glad she had a stick shift and not an automatic.  Source: Fox News
