R2-D2

A British enthusiast has built an R2-D2 droid from authentic parts.  He collected the parts from several of the movies and assembled them.  At auction the droid sold for about $2 million.  Rumor has it that there is another in France but not confirmed.  I'd love to own one of them but I'll never have a spare couple million dollars.  Star Wars collectible

T-Rex Fun

A Michigan man turned a bad situation into some fun after heavy rains brought flooding to his neighborhood roads and basements.  He wore a T-Rex outfit and kayaked down the street.  His wife filmed the stunt and both hoped that it would bring smiles and laughter to the neighbors.  kayaker

Thieves

In Denver, six men robbed a person who was waiting for his Uber ride.  They hit him on the back of the head and then stole cash, his watch, and his phone.  They may have gotten away with it but they used the man's phone to record themselves laughing about what they did and then posted it to snapchat.  Police are using the images to find the thieves.  They may as well turn themselves in because it won't take long.  busted

Stupid Driver

A man in Green Bay WI decided to drive around the barrier on a drawbridge.  The barrier is there for a reason; the bridge is open.  Most people would realize that if they drive on a drawbridge that is open, they will either get stuck or fall into the water.  This guy got stuck and had to be rescued.  Firefighters had to cut open the top of the driver's mini van just to get him out.  stupidity

Toddler and His Stuffed Cow

A toddler in Massachusetts is alive after falling from a second story window.  He was jumping on his bed when he accidently went flying out the window.  Luckily he was clutching his favorite stuffed toy...a 2-foot stuffed cow.  When the toddler hit the concrete below his window, the cow broke his fall.  Both the toddler and cow are doing fine.  miracle

CIA Hacked

A vending machine at the CIA was hacked and was giving out free snacks.  The crime took the CIA months to discover.  Contractors had hacked the machine so that it would give snack out for free.  After $3,300 worth of goodies went missing, the CIA finally set up cameras to catch the culprits.  They were then escorted out the door and fired by their companies.  A person has to be extremely bold to steal from the CIA and think they're not going to get caught.  free snacks
