If one goes on to read the rest of the story, yes, the bear broke windows to enter the vehicle. Must have smelled the cupcakes.

"Allen says that she hopes that this doesn’t happen. She just wants the bear to leave her family alone."

Maybe she can ask it nicely,and swat it on the nose with a newspaper while saying "Bad Bear,Bad!" to teach it a lesson?

The bear ate two dozen vegan cupcakes? Was he later found saying, "Yecchh, what the heck was that?!?"

I wondered about the concept of "leftover cupcakes".  Now I understand.

That's the dirty little secret of why vegans are so thin. Even THEY don't want to eat that swill.

Bounce house flies onto California highway with child inside
Nicole Darrah

A bounce house — with a 9-year-old child inside — suddenly got swept onto a nearby highway in Southern California and slammed into a vehicle amid strong winds Saturday afternoon.

Fortunately, the child survived with minor injuries.

Deputies responded to the incident on Highway 395 in Adelanto just after 3 p.m., the Victor Valley branch of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.

I just saw a house in the neighborhood, I guess, they were having a birthday for a child and they had one of these air houses, "bounce houses", I never knew that term.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Geese flip the script, chase off alligator on Florida golf course
Richard Tribou
Orlando Sentinel


A flock of geese were cocks of the walk chasing off an alligator on a Florida golf course.

Video of the encounter was captured by Ryan Witkowski of Jupiter while attending a charity golf event at PGA National golf course in Palm Beach Gardens earlier this month.

Witkowski posted the video to his Facebook page and you can see eight determined geese running off the smallish gator while onlooking golfers gawk from the safety of their golf carts.  ...  link to story, with video

Mother renames son after tattooist makes spelling error
MAY 17, 20186:45am
Unfortunately one Swedish mother fell victim to an embarrassing typo after her tattooist misspelled her son Kevin’s name as Kelvin.

But rather than let it get her down — and face an expensive, painful removal process — 30-year-old Johanna Giselhäll Sandström had an ingenious solution: She had her son’s name legally changed.

Man to North Ridgeville police: Help me … I’m being followed by a pig

Posted 2:05 pm, May 19, 2018, by Lindsay Buckingham

NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio — Imagine a police officer receiving this call: “Help me. I’m being followed by a pig.”

We’re not sure of the exact wording, but that’s pretty much what happened in North Ridgeville early Saturday morning.

Police say a man called the station just before 5:30 a.m., saying he was being stalked by a pig on Center Ridge Road.

They thought he was drunk, but when officers responded...

Lawyer in hazmat suit held man hostage, pulled out bolt cutters to slice his genitals, Ala. cops say
BY JARED GILMOUR
April 26, 2018 02:59 PM
Updated April 26, 2018 04:14 PM

An Alabama lawyer is headed to prison after orchestrating a kidnapping that nearly cost his hostage a finger — and his genitals.

The lawyer's motive? It was all over $60 the victim was supposed to pay the lawyer in exchange for some tires, prosecutors said.

On Thursday, a judge sentenced James William Woolley, 52, to 20 years in prison on the robbery, kidnapping and attempted murder charges that a jury convicted Woolley of last month, the Birmingham News reports.

Woolley’s kidnapping plot was set into motion on Jan. 25, 2016, with some help from an accomplice. Kimberly Murphy, 33, lured the victim to her Birmingham home by promising she would return a piercing kit the victim had left there, according to prosecutors.

Woman's obituary takes a dark turn: 'World is a better place without her'

Quote
An 80-year-old woman’s seemingly straightforward obituary took a dark turn that no one could have predicted.

The obituary for Kathleen Dehmlow (Schunk) first appeared in the Redwood Gazette this week. It stated she was born on March 19, 1938, and resided in Springfield, Minn. She married Dennis Dehmlow in 1957 and had two children with him -- Gina and Jay.

…

“In 1962 she became pregnant by her husband’s brother Lyle Dehmlow and moved to California. She abandoned her children, Gina and Jay who were raised by her parents in Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schunk,” the obituary reads.

…

“She passed away on May 31, 2018, in Springfield and will now face judgment. She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world is a better place without her,” the obituary concluded.

Man Shot by Gun Hidden in Oven

Police say they've solved a shooting in Ohio that left a man wounded.

The oven did it.

The Vindicator in Youngstown reports 44-year-old Robin Garlock received wounds to both shoulders while trying to retrieve a handgun he'd hidden inside the broiler unit of his oven.

Warren police say Garlock put the gun in the broiler because children were coming over.

His girlfriend, unaware of the gun's presence, turned on the oven Sunday to bake. Police say she called out to Garlock when she thought she heard a gunshot fired outside. Police say Garlock was struck by bullets or bullet fragments when they exploded inside the gun.

...

No charges have been filed against the oven.
