Cat Visits the Bathroom

The Publisher of a small Oklahoma newspaper got a shock when he went to the bathroom at his office.  A bobcat had gotten in through an open door and was in the bathroom hissing at him.  He simply backed out, closed the door, and called animal control.  Luckily they were able to safely remove the large cat and release it in a more appropriate environment.  No people or animals were harmed.  I think after that encounter, I wouldn't need the bathroom anymore.  Source: Yahoo News

Prius Hating Moose

A woman in Alaska was out walking her dog and returned home to find a moose destroying her Prius.  There was nothing she could do but watch.  Luckily the moose only took it out on her car and her mailbox.  Her and the dog remained safe but she did get it on video.  Source: UPI

Beer Cooler Theft

In Marshfield, WI, a man found himself locked in a beer cooler overnight at a Kwik Trip.  He was there most of the night until someone notified the manager that someone was in the cooler.  When employees opened the door, he left the store quickly but was arrested a short time later.  He was picked up on an outstanding warrant not related to this case where he was barred from drinking alcohol.  I guess the temptation of being in that cooler was too much for him.  I think I know a couple people who wouldn't be able to control themselves either.  Source: UPI

Fox Steals Golf Ball

A fox on a golf course may have thought that a golf ball was a tasty egg.  A golfer had put his ball on the tee and watched as a fox snatched the ball and ran away with it.  The golfer gave chase and managed to get his ball back when the frightened fox dropped it.  He managed to get video of the theft.  What I want to know is, does that count as a stroke?  Source: UPI

Idiots of the Century

How stupid can people get?  Four men in Australia took pictures of themselves in a crocodile trap.  It was loaded with raw meat to catch a large croc that has been blamed for a fatal attack in the area.  What sort of idiot thinks that it's ok to swim into an area specifically there to attract a large killer crocodile?  Source: UPI
