Don't Hike Naked in Switzerland


Naked hikers beware, the Swiss officials have got your number. After a recent influx in naked hiking among tourists (reportedly German), the police in the mountain region of Appenzell-Innerrhoden are cracking (no pun intended) down on violators. If caught, offenders will be issued a fine of 200 Swiss fracs ($170 USD). I wonder where the hikers keep their wallets?

Sweet Tooth Lands Teen in Jail


A teenager from Middleton, Ohio certainly has a sweet tooth. The 18 year old allegedly charged over $37,000 worth of candy to a purchase order from his high school. The order, which was placed to an online retailer, seemed a bit suspicious, so the police set up a sting.


The retailer sent an empty box to the order address, leading police right to the sticky fingered thief's door. No word on why he wanted that candy or the status of his dental health.

Careful, You Might Break a Nail


I am sad to report the Guinness Book record holder for long fingernails recently broke a nail. After a serious, but non-life threatening car accident, Salt Lake City Utah resident Lee Redmond lost 28 feet worth of finger nails. In 2008, Redmond's longest nail (her right thumb) was 2 feet, 11 inches. She has been growing her nails since 1979

I Love My Dog, but....


In India, a two year old boy was recently married to his neighbor's dog. The villager's believe this will keep him safe from being mauled by a wild animal. It seems the boy had a tooth growing on the outside of his upper gum. The tribe believed this was a bad omen and the boy was doomed to be attacked by a tiger or other wild beast.

Marriage to the dog is will serve as protection by the tribal god and will keep the boy from an almost certain death. The boy will be able to take a woman in marriage when he grows older without need of divorce from his furry friend.

Perhaps all this boy needs is an orthodontist later in life.

A Simple Thank You Will Do


An disagreement over manners got ugly in the other day in Falmouth, MA. It seems a 38 year-old man forgot to thank the 58 year-old man who held the door open for him. After being confronted about his oversight, the younger man offered a sarcastic "thank you."

An argument ensued which led the 38 year-old to retrieve a golf club from his car and start to wail on "Mr. Emily Post." He was charged with battery with a a dangerous weapon to which he pleaded not guilty.

I'd hate to meet that guy after a bad day on the golf course!

Crime Fighting with the Atomic Wedgie


Yvonne Morris, from Salt Lake City Utah, is being hailed as a hero. After seeing a a man breaking into her co-worker's car, she chased him down. In order to restrain the suspect, she hiked up his boxers and gave him a wedgie.

Morris held the suspect in a headlock until the police arrived. He is now pulling his undies out of his nether-regions from his comfortable cell at the Salt Lake County Jail.

Indian Giver


I have heard about many bitter divorce proceedings, however, this one takes the cake.


New York surgeon, Richard Batista, requested his wife return the Kidney he donated to her during a more blissful time in their relationship. Batista said if she couldn't return it she would need to compensate him $1.5 million. At least he came up with a rational alturnative!
