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…

The 10 oddest Guinness World Records of the year…including feats of… well, feats…fastest time to find and alphabetize the letters in a can of alphabet soup and the farthest tightrope walk in high heels, and the longest journey by…pumpkin boat?   

And one that (apparently) didn’t make the list… most underpants pulled on in 30 seconds ...

Stupidity in slow motion… 

In Stoke Newington, North London, UKtis the season… 

Like scented candles? How about a set that (for a mere $19.74) comes with the scent of "having your windows down on the open road," whereas the Pit Stop candle is the complete opposite, giving off the smell of "glorious gasoline”…oh, and we even have “brain freeze”…brought to you by the good people at Super 8 Motels… 

The inaptly (apparently) named goliath bird eater… 

In Muscle Shoals, Alabama, a lightning strike led to…what?  

And now for the main “events”: 

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bruce Lee (though not THE Bruce Lee) got into something of an altercation with another passenger on a city bus…and let’s just say that while it got Bruce thrown off the bus, he still managed to make his “point”… 

In London, England, police broke into an art gallery here…following reports of an apparently unconscious woman inside…well, it’s fair to say that she wasn’t conscious…  

In Lexington Park, Maryland, Lugo Peralta, 19, was arrested for stealing… from several area restaurants…just not what you would expect someone to be stealing… 

In Key Largo, Florida, law enforcement officials have a unique way of reminding drivers of the importance of obeying speed limits in school zones…it might even make you cry… 

And finally, near Bryan, Texas, an 18-year-old was involved in a high-speed chase that reached 107 mph as he “recklessly blew through multiple intersections”…before turning into what wound up being a dead-end road and crashing into a wooded area… no small amount of irony in his name… 

Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
