TGIF. No, Really.

Think you’ve had a bad week? It could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys… Near Liberty, Missouri, an unnamed man had been burning garbage in his field… then that fire got out of control… then, in an effort to put out the fire, the man decided to drive his van back and forth over the flames… of course, that didn’t help, as the tires caught fire… and there was this little matter of the full tank of gasoline… but, as it turned out, that wasn’t the real danger… In Baltimore, Maryland, Dashawn Terrell Cochran, 23, allegedly robbed a Royal Farms store here with a gun around 2:30 a.m.… fleeing with money from the cash registers… via the very latest in trendy bank robbery getaway vehicles… Does this engagement photo on Facebook give away a bit more than intended? In Bonn, Germany, an unnamed 43-year-old is vying for the title of worst would-be burglar (or maybe best would-be)… first, he couldn’t break in through the front door… though he managed to climb over a garden gate, and then entered through a set of patio doors… picked up a few things… a notebook, mobile phone, even some snacks for later… but then he went to a storeroom… where he ran into trouble… and couldn’t get out… but then there’s how he managed to make his escape… In Middletown, Connecticut, Michelle Davis, 43, was arrested for calling 911… so, what do you have to call 911 about to get arrested? See if Michelle has left anything out… In London, England, Caroline Westlake (a meerkat expert at the London Zoo) has been ordered to pay about $1,200 to Kate Sanders (a monkey handler at the same zoo) for assaulting her with a wine glass… you’ll never guess what they were spatting about… but here’s a hint. It involved a llama. And finally, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, there’s the bizarre case of a lawsuit brought by one Jennifer Connell, 54, who is suing Sean Tarala, now 12, but only 8 at the time of their unfortunate encounter… she’s suing Sean for $127,000… you’d never guess that they are related… or what Sean did that triggered the suit… or what Jennifer says she has had to go through in the interim… Have a great weekend, folks!
