Oh Deer!

How many times do people have to be told that it's not ok to take a wild animal out of it's environment?  Everytime an animal is dependent on humans, it can no longer be released into the wild.  A man in Arizona took a 3-day old deer into a bar to ask if anyone wanted to take it home.  He thought that it had been abandoned by it's mother and just wanted to help.  But he did more damage than good.  The fawn will now have to live in captivity because it can never go home.  Let the animals be; don't try to "help" them by taking them home.  Source: Yahoo News

Remember to Flush

A burglar in Ventura, CA, may have gotten away with the crime if he hadn't stopped to go to the bathroom.  He didn't flush so he left DNA behind and the police used it.  A National Database already had his DNA on file and he was arrested at his home.  Bet he remembers to flush everytime from now on.  Source: Yahoo News

Alligator Visitor

A resident in Louisiana filmed an alligator strolling across his lawn and eventually resting outside his front door.  He named it "George" and then called the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to have it removed.  Before someone came to take it away, neighbors gathered to watch the resting 8 foot gator.  Officials say that it was probably looking for a mate as it's mating season right now.  I've been down there many times visiting my daughter over the past three years and I've always said that I wanted to see an alligator but never did.  And here this one just strolled right up to the door.  Source: UPI

San Francisco Street

A real estate investor and his wife have bought a City of San Francisco street.  It's a circular drive lined with multimillion dollar mansions and separated from the rest of the area by a gate.  The street was up for auction because of unpaid taxes.  The homeowner's association has filed suit to reverse the sale.  There's a lesson here...pay your taxes because now the investors can do what they want with the street including renting the parking spots.  Residents would not be able to park in front of their homes without paying.  But on the other side of the issue, the investors need to recoup their money or make a profit.  Source: Yahoo News

Million Dollar Bill

A man in Iowa tried to deposit a million dollar bill at a local bank.  Of course police were called and when they were asking the man about the bill, they heard rustling in his pocket.  They found he was carrying meth.  So not only did the man go to jail for the money scam but also for drugs.  Maybe he can pay his $1,000 bail with another fake million dollar bill.  Source: Fox News

Mermaid Shed

A small shed has floated across the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to Louisiana.  It broke loose during a tropical storm and drifted away.  The Coast Guard says that the tiny dock has a mermaid, a sea turtle, and an octopus painted on it.  There's no one on board and it's been declared a derelict vessel.  No one has claimed it and no one plans to tow it to shore.  The mermaid and her sea friends will just bob along on their floating journey.  Source: Yahoo News
