I just love this stuff.
SAN JUAN, Texas (AP) - Police said Monday they have no idea who is responsible for at least 29 sticks of dynamite found strewn along roadsides.
No one has been injured, but one elderly man who had found some sticks told police he nearly put one on the stove as sausage. He told police he had taken others to the station but forgot one, and when he reached for sausage while cooking, he instead picked up the dynamite.
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man was forced to invite the police to his wedding after they arrested him for drunk driving the day of his marriage and had to escort him to the registry office, authorities said Monday.
“The police escort also offered the bridal pair his most heartfelt congratulations,” said police from the northern city of Bremen in a statement.
Police arrested the inebriated 36-year-old after he crashed his car and failed to disguise that he had been drinking heavily. He told police he had been out on his stag night and was on the way to pick up wedding flowers for his bride.
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - A woman whose 176-pound benign tumor was removed by an American surgeon and Romanian doctors was released from the hospital on Monday, 10 weeks after surgery.
Her tumor covered much of her back and ran halfway down her thighs. Without it, she weighed 88 pounds. The growing tumor had absorbed blood and nutrients from her body like a giant parasite, doctors said.
I can’t get enough of it.
My favorite part from the second story you quoted:
A lot of the stories seem to come in spurts. The regular media has it’s share of shark attack stories one year, while the weird news has a spate of people arrested for dui on their lawn mowers.
