TGIF…No, Really.

TGIF

Well, here we are again at the end of yet another workweek—and just a week away from the NAPA 401(k) Summit—but just look at what (still) happened to these guys and gals…

First, some odds and ends…

Ever gone bungee jumping, and found yourself wondering what would happen if… well, in Pattaya, Thailand, an unnamed 39-year-old found out… 

In Saint-Malo, Brittany, France, Kristina Desgres and Rodrigo Velasquez, came up with a name for their new son that they thought was pretty… but officials refused to let them use the name…as not being in the child’s best interests…and that name was… 

In Central Queensland, Australia, we bring you Euoplos dignitas, a name "derived from the Latin dignitas meaning dignity or greatness… or, said another way, another reason to be careful when vacationing “down under”… 

In Nathrop, Colorado, an unnamed couple were enjoying an evening in their vacation rental’s hot tub when…what?  

Do Jack Daniel’s (yes, that Jack Daniel’s) and dog poo (yes, THAT dog poo) have in common?  The Supreme Court (yes, THAT Supreme Court) is trying to sort that out.  

And now for the main “events”: 

In Newport News, Virginia, two unnamed men (aged 37 & 43) managed to escape from jail…having, according to law enforcement “exploited a weakness in the jail’s construction design”…using, among other things, a toothbrush and a “metal object” to do so…and then, having escaped…they made their way to a not-so-secret hideout… 

In Clovis, California, Keith Chastain, 38, is now looking at 18 felonies and 15 misdemeanors with charges including stealing six vehicles, DUI, vandalism, fraud, possession of a controlled substance, and more…so how long did it take for Keith to rack up these “achievements”? … 

In St. Petersburg, Florida, Clifford Craig Edwards was caught—and caught on camera—committing a “spring break mistake”… but exactly how old was Clifford?  

And finally, in Seabrook, New Hampshire, law enforcement officers received a report of a possible explosive device in the local Walmart…and soon after, officers reported that someone called the police department directly…claiming a man in the store had a gun…both reports turned out to be hoaxes… but police were able to trace the origin back to a Meghan Leavitt, 38… whose motive for making the calls…and the location from which she did so… were both questionable, to say the least… 

Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
