TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

Well, here we are again at the end of yet another workweek—and just look at what has happened to these guys and gals…

First, some “Odds & Ends”

Why those pesky flies almost always outmaneuver you...  

So, what kind of fine would you have to pay if your library book was overdue…by 14,153 days? Charlie Adams (no relation) can tell you…  

When are you most likely to be sent to a hospital by a moose in northern British Columbia?  

Last week we learned it was a snake-eat-snake world…apparently, it’s also a snake-eat-centipede… 

In Chilbolton, Hampshire, UK, an unnamed bovine in an unusual predicament (and yes, we have pictures)…  

America’s most depressed cities?  Well, at least based on data from the CDC…   

There can be a good side to renovating...  

In Austin, Texas, that walk around the airport never felt this long… 

And now for the main “events”: 

In Tenerife, Spain, an unnamed 30-year-old woman sent her mother a video… saying she had been kidnapped, deprived of food, beaten, and to add emphasis the kidnappers held a knife to her throat in the video…demanding a $50,000 ransom… well, as it turns out, it was all a sham kidnapping intended to bilk her distraught mother… but that’s not the really weird thing… 

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a ribbon-cutting ceremony went a little too far… 

In Milan, Italy, an unnamed man attempted to sneak some coc-aine through the airport here… he didn’t make it… but, how much did he attempt?  And where?  

In Langford, British Columbia, Canada an unnamed 40-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were spotted by some bystanders “ingesting drugs” in a public restroom here… by the time the RCMP arrived, they had moved on… but they left their names in an interesting place/way… 

In Ontario, Canada… what could possibly go wrong… 

And finally—what happens if you put a large oxygen tank inside a gun safe and fire at the safe with an armor-piercing incendiary .50 BMG? The internet wants to know (mind your sound)… 

Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
