Couple mistakenly served bag of cash at McDonald’s drive-thru

A Tennessee couple got something worth a little bit more than an Extra Value  Meal from the drive-thru employee at a McDonald’s in Hermitage.

Greg and Stacye Terry placed their regular breakfast orders and were served up a bag stuffed with thousands of dollars  in cash. An employee apparently mixed-up the restaurant’s bank deposit with the Terry’s drive thru order.

“My husband opened the bag and discovered the money inside,” said Stacye  said. “He said, ‘You are not going to believe this.’ Sure enough, it was their  bank deposit money.”
The employee quickly discovered the mistake and caught up with the Terrys.  They returned the cash, no questions asked.  More

High School Digs Up Graveyard For Football Field

MANASSAS, Virginia – When a Prince William County high school district announced plans to build a sports complex for students, no one complained.

But when it was announced they would be displacing a century old cemetery to do so, more than a few heads turned.

Then the district said the construction firm knew about the graveyard since 2008, but hadn’t told school officials until this past summer.

Now there is outrage and a flurry of activity as archaeologists hurry to excavate the grave site before it is demolished, reports the Washington Post.

The site is in a remote area south of Manassas. It was overgrown with trees and other plants. The rough fieldstones are dated from 1860 through 1890.  More

Mall Santa Busted For Groping Female Elf, 18

NOVEMBER 25--A 62-year-old mall Santa Claus was arrested Saturday after allegedly pinching the buttocks of an 18-year-old woman who worked with him as an elf photographer, police report.

Herbert Jones was arraigned this morning in a Massachusetts court on an indecent assault and battery charge. Free on $1000 bail, Jones is next due in court on Christmas Eve on the felony count. A District Court judge directed Jones, pictured in the adjacent mug shot, to stay out of the Hanover Mall, and barred him from dressing up as Santa Claus for the balance of the holiday season.

According to a Hanover Police Department report, the elf told officers that “she walked by Santa who was in his chair at which point he reached up and pinched her buttocks.” Jones and the teenager work for a company that describes itself as “providing Santa Photographic services to the mall during the holiday season.”

The teen said that after the pinching she reported the incident to her manager, who later told her that “Santa wanted to speak with her.” When she subsequently met with Jones, he began to yell at her, saying “I would never have done something like that!”
Prior to the pinching, the woman told cops, Jones told her, “I wish you were a few years older and I was younger.”

A female coworker told police that she saw Jones “reach up in the area’s of [the victim’s] behind.” The witness said that while she was “unsure if his hand actually made contact” with the victim’s buttocks, the elf later reported “that Santa ‘pinched her butt.’”
When cops approached Jones in “Santa’s changing room,” he declared, “I did not touch that girl.” Jones, who was not in his Santa costume, was then arrested and escorted to a police cruiser.  Click here to read more!

How To Cook Your Thanksgiving Turkey In The Dishwasher..

No one ever expects chef David Burke to do anything the usual way. He's built a legendary career on playing with our expectations and making food fun. But we'll admit that even knowing about Burke's commitment to the element of surprise and flair for drama, we really did not see his Thanksgiving turkey recipe coming.

Let's set the scene: you're hosting Thanksgiving, and have an oven's worth of side dishes to cook and reheat. How can you lighten the load on this kitchen appliance during its most active day of the year? Burke says you can cook your Thanksgiving turkey in the dishwasher. Dishwasher turkey. You read that correctly. This is a dishwasher turkey recipe.


Yes. This kind of dishwasher. Can this really be done? Why would you ever even try to find out? Well, the legend goes like this:

In 1982, Burke worked as a private chef for a family in Oslo, Norway. The family requested cold poached salmon for a buffet that Sunday evening. The group of chefs went out and caught themselves a 10-pound salmon. After realizing they didn't have any cooking vessel large enough to cook the whole fish in, Burke's notorious creativity kicked into gear. He seasoned and wrapped the salmon, then hung it on the top rack of the dishwasher, where the glasses typically go. Three cycles later, he was rewarded with a perfectly poached whole fish, and has been experimenting ever since.

Which brings us to today. Now, before you all lose your freaking minds the way we did when we first heard about this, we want to stipulate that Burke is not suggesting you wrap up an entire, 20-pound Thanksgiving turkey in cling-film and toss it in the dishwasher -- his recipe calls for turkey breasts only. Still, if you want to give your oven a break (and probably freak out your relatives as an added bonus), we got Burke to share his Thanksgiving dishwasher turkey recipe with us.

N. Carolina foster parents arrested after boy found handcuffed to porch with dead chicken around neck

UNION COUNTY, North Carolina – Authorities arrested foster parents – including one who is a social services worker – after finding an 11-year-old boy handcuffed to a porch with a dead chicken around his neck, according to NBCnews.com.

Suspected Cannibal Ate Victim's Heart And Tongue, Police Say

French police are crying cannibalism after a man in southern France allegedly cut out a man's heart and tongue with the intention of eating them.

Police in Nouilhan arrested a 26-year-old homeless man late Thursday night. According to local outlets, the man is accused of breaking into a 90-year-old's home and bashing in his skull with a metal tool from the resident's barn. Investigators say the man then set fire to the corpse, cut out the victim's heart and tongue and may have cooked them, Le Parisien reports.

When authorities arrived at the scene, they discovered a calcinated body, along with some cooked meat and white beans on a plate.

After the 26-year-old fled the home, he allegedly assaulted a man on a tractor, breaking his shoulder. As the police narrative goes, he then entered another home and managed to grab a shotgun before he was chased out by the owner.

Officers were able to find the man and arrested him shortly before midnight. During his arrest, he reportedly acted "very calm" and "not aggressive."

It's not immediately clear whether the man actually cooked or ate the body parts. However, from his statements, authorities say there is reason to believe he cooked and ate the 90-year-old's heart and tongue, Le Nouvel Observateur reports.

"It would seem he acted because of voices, messages that he was receiving and that were telling him to act in this way. Those are his first statements,” local prosecutor Chantal Firmigier-Michel told the Agence France-Presse. Read more here!

Sweden's Ice Hotel told to get fire alarms..

The Ice Hotel, which is rebuilt every year in northern Sweden out of enormous chunks of ice from the Torne River in Jukkasjärvi, Kiruna, will this year come equipped with fire alarms - and the irony isn't lost on the staff.

 

"We were a little surprised when we found out," hotel spokeswoman Beatrice Karlsson told The Local.

 

"But we do understand. Safety is a primary concern for us. There are indeed things that can catch fire, like the reindeer skins, the mattresses, and the pillows."

 

While it might sound crazy that a building made of water needs to be equipped with fire alarms, the fact that the hotel is built from scratch every year means it needs to abide by the rules that apply to every new building, rules set by the National Housing Board (Boverket).

 

Karlsson at the hotel isn't concerned about the new changes, and admitted that it was just a matter of adaptation.

 

"Every hotel is brand new anyway, there is always something new to think about. And this year is..... Read more here....

World Record-Holding Ponytail Zip-Liner Dies Repeating Stunt

The man who held the Guinness World Record for traveling the farthest distance on a zip line while attached by his hair has died.

Indian man Sailendra Nath Roy suffered a heart attack on Sunday while suspended from the 600-foot long, 70 foot-high zip wire over the Teesta river in West Bengal, the BBC reported. He was attempting to break his own record.

"He was desperately trying to move forward," photographer Balai Sutradhar said, according to the Independent. "He was trying to scream out some instruction. But no one could follow what he was saying. After struggling for 30 minutes he became still."
Roy was hanging by his ponytail for around 45 minutes before he was brought down. Doctors pronounced him dead on arrival at the hospital.

The BBC reports that Roy was 48, though according to the Independent and India Today, he was 50.

Police say that Roy had not obtained permission for the feat.

Roy, who worked as a driver for police, set the original record in March 2011. In 2008, he attracted national attention by using his ponytail to pull the 42-ton Darjeeling toy train about 8 feet, according to India Today. In 2007, he tied his ponytail from a rope and used it to fly between two buildings.

A friend of the daredevil said Roy had told his wife this would be his last stunt, according to the Independent.

Man With Largest Penis, Releases 'It's Too Big,' A Song About His Penis

Finally, Jonah Falcon's penis is solidified in song.

The man famous for his 13.5-inch, record-setting penis released a song, and it's bound to impress even the most hardened of pop fans.

"It's Too Big," released on iTunes and CDbaby.com on April 16, features Falcon's penetrating voice singing about his own member, which was again thrown into the limelight after HuffPost Weird News covered Falcon getting frisked by the TSA.
With lyrics like these, it's clear to see that Falcon -- and his co-pop singer, Adam Barta -- are looking to go big:

"I heard it from all the guys and every single freakin' girl/They wanna try and take a ride on the biggest in the world/But in order to ride the beast it must be unfurled," Falcon sings before the chorus, "Too damn big/It's just too damn big/Your penis too damn big yeah/It's too damn big."

Falcon didn't comment on the girthy tune. His new publicist wants to embargo the package, even though it was already released.

Gina Rodriguez -- a former porn star who has represented such luminaries as "Octomom" Nadya Suleman and reality cast members Alex McCord and Nik Richie -- told HuffPost Weird News, "There will be no interview."

The song can speak for itself. Falcon fans will be excited to know that "It's Too Big," a clear homage to the Pet Shop Boys and anything that can't be measured by a standard ruler, won't be going flaccid any time soon.

After a miscarriage at 14, the girl had a baby at 17, after regularly  inseminating herself with sperm her mother purchased on the Internet, according  to a report in The Guardian.
The girl — a virgin– was apparently too scared to  refuse her adoptive domineering mother’s request.

Over a two-year period, the daughter had to inseminate herself seven times, while alone in her room at home, using syringes of semen.

In hopes of getting a  girl, the mother forced her daughter to follow a special diet and use painful acidic douches containing vinegar or lemon and lime juice, in the belief it  could affect the baby’s gender.  Full Article

Death at home of DB Cooper chute packer ruled a homicide

WOODINVILLE, Washington – A homicide investigation has been launched after the discovery of a body in the home owned by the man who packed the parachutes for infamous airplane hijacker D.B. Cooper (picture).

The man’s daughter called police Friday evening after finding her father’s body inside the garage at the home, located in the 15000 block of NE 192nd Street, said a King County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.

The man, who has not been identified but is believed to be in his 70s, had obvious head trauma, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.

His death originally was called “suspicious,” then was ruled a homicide Saturday morning. Deputies would not comment on why investigators ruled the death a homicide, but did say that there’s enough things that don’t add up.

When DB Cooper hijacked a passenger jet from Portland, Ore., to Seattle in 1971, demanding $200,000 and four parachutes, it was Cossey who packed the chutes.
After asking to be flown to Mexico, Cooper jumped out somewhere near the Oregon line. Despite intensive searches, no sign of Cooper ever emerged.  Full Article

This guy's bad trip could have cost him his tip.

Police say University of Florida student Michael Silecchia, 19, claimed to be on LSD Saturday when he stripped naked, asking cops not to cut his penis off. He then apparently changed his mind and requested they cut it off, the Gainesville Sun reported.

Cops also say he told them he was God, according a police report obtained by the Independent Florida Alligator.

College crew found a floating head in river

A huge foam and fiberglass head was discovered floating in New York's Hudson River by a college crew team earlier this week, and days later nobody knows where it came from.
The head, which is at least 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide, was found Monday morning by the Marist College men's crew team.

"The coach, who is in a motorboat, took a quick spin out and investigated it, and was as baffled as anyone by what he saw," said Greg Cannon, spokesman for Marist College. "But because it was a navigation hazard, he felt it was his duty to haul it in. It took about 10 members of his team to haul it in."

Because it was waterlogged, it weighed "at least a couple hundred pounds," he said. The head -- which has a foam core but is covered in a fiberglass shell and has metal rods in it -- has had a home in front of the Marist boathouse since it was dragged from the water.

Woman accused of using ambulance for taxi service over 100 times

DORCHESTER COUNTY, South Carolina - The Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office says 51 year old Audrey Ferguson of the Dorchester community has called EMS at least 100 times in the last seven years.

Investigators say Ferguson was faking illness, just to get a free ride to downtown Charleston.

Officials say just about every time she asked to be taken to a hospital.

“She’ll have a vague medical complaint, for instance abdominal pain,” said Dorchester County EMS Director Doug Warren.

“She has medical complaints that are legitimate, and so until she’s been evaluated and determined not to be sick we have to assume she is.”

“We transport her to one of the area hospitals and then oftentimes before we can get our paperwork completed she’s signed out from the hospital and gone on to do other things.” said Warren.  Full Article

TAMPA, Florida – A $5,000 diamond meant to make its way on to a necklace or set on a ring made its way into an 80-year-old woman’s belly instead.

Man Cooks and Eats His Own Finger

UK – David Playpenz lost a finger and part of his hand after a motorcycle accident, but instead of simply throwing away the amputated digit, he took it home, cooked and ate it, and even kept the bones as a souvenir.

Surgeons told Playpenz they had to amputate one of his fingers after it turned black following a motorcycle accident.

The man from Colchester, Essex asked doctors if he could take it home with him after the procedure and they had no objections.

David says that he had always been curious about cannibalism and what human flesh would taste like, but the fact that going around eating another person’s meat is illegal, he had never actually satisfied his curiosity.

Only now he had his own finger to munch on, and when it finally occurred to him that no one would be able to drag him to court for consuming his own flesh, he decided to eat it and keep the bones as a souvenir.  Full Article

Officials: Boston suspects discussed second attack in Times Square

The surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect has told investigators that he and his brother discussed detonating the rest of their explosives in Times Square, senior law enforcement officials told NBC News on Thursday.

The surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, initially told investigators that they planned to go to New York to party after the Boston attack, one source said. The New York police commissioner also gave this account Wednesday.

Under subsequent questioning, the officials said, Tsarnaev said that the brothers had discussed a follow-up attack on Times Square.

The officials cautioned that the idea was undeveloped. One senior official described the plan as “aspirational at most.”

Tsarnaev, wounded in a shootout with police before he was captured Friday, is in fair condition at a Boston hospital. His older brother and the second suspect, Tamerlan, was killed after the shootout.

Three people were killed and more than 200 wounded when two bombs went off near the marathon finish line April 15.

The subsequent questioning happened before Tsarnaev was read his rights, the officials said.

Man sentenced for having sex with dogs in Michigan

A Michigan man who pleaded no contest to having sex with two dogs felt the bite of a wary judge on Monday.

Kurtis Peterson, 36, was sentenced to between one and 15 years by judge Timothy Hicks, according to Michigan Live.

Hicks seemed to be worried the man from Muskegon was a risk to repeat the offense.
“I fear for what he might do in the community,” Hicks said during the sentencing hearing.
The Daily News reports that Peterson was caught in the act twice by Joyce Yeaw, a friend of Peterson's roommate. Once in April 2012 and again in June.

"He was having sex with the dog, it was disgusting," Yeaw testified, according to the paper's website.

After the April incident, Peterson told police he was "just playing with the dog."
Michigan Live previously reported that Peterson's public defender, Fred Lesica, said his client had “mental retardation” and is on psychiatric medication.
