Wierd News
WE KNOW HOW THIS LOOKS, OFFICER
Soaked from the rain and heavily intoxicated while cheering on the University of Wisconsin at a football game, two attorneys went into the downstairs laundry room of a nearby apartment building afterward to dry their clothes. They stripped naked, put their clothes into a dryer and, while they were waiting, commenced singing loudly and in a drunken fashion. Residents complained. Police arrived. The men, who were "extremely uncooperative," were arrested for disorderly conduct.
THAT'S A BIT MORE LIKE IT
A man arrested twice in the same place in Sydney, Australia, for exceeding the 60 mph speed limit, replaced the 60 mph sign at the scene of his offenses with a 70 mph sign he stole from another location.
WE'RE REALLY GOING TO MISS YOU
A male convict was mistakenly incarcerated with female inmates in a Kentucky jail for more than eight months before he came forward and told authorities he is a man. He was immediately removed. Throughout his confinement, none of the women prisoners complained.
OK, WHAT THE HECK DO WE DO NOW?
Two residents of a nursing home in Christchurch, New Zealand, are getting married. The bride is 84, and the groom is 99.
LIE FOR ME; NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
A man awaiting trial in a Pennsylvania jail for a barroom murder wrote to a friend, asking him to provide an alibi that would get him set free. But he didn't have enough stamps on the envelope, so the letter was returned to the jail. In keeping with corrections policy, the guards read it. He was found guilty.
OH NO, WHAT AM I MARRYING INTO?
At the end of a wedding reception in Japan, the bride was appalled when the groom's male relatives took off all their clothes and began what they called the "celebratory nude dance." She was even more appalled when the groom joined in. She attributed the men's conduct to the fact that they were "from a country area" but said that the episode drove a wedge between her and her husband and resulted in their divorce.
WE WON'T BE MAKING ANY STOPS
A teenager talked his way into the cabin of a commuter train in Berlin during the evening rush hour by posing as a replacement driver, and then took a train full of passengers on a joyride. He wouldn't relinquish his control when police caught up with him, so they had to shoot him. He is O.K.
NO, BAD DOG! CHASE NOW, EAT LATER
A police dog, sent into a candy factory in Trondheim, Norway, to chase down two teenage burglars, became distracted by the trail of chocolate they had left behind. The dog gave up the hunt, choosing instead to gorge himself.
DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE FINE, ARGHHHH!
Russian authorities removed the inhabitants of Vrangel Island, off the Arctic Chukotka peninsula, in 1997 when they turned it into a reserve for polar bears. But one young woman, Vasilina Alpaun, went back there to live in her home shortly thereafter. A polar bear killed her on her doorstep.
