Car Driven Into Wrong Apartment
An unnamed 25-year-old woman in Nelson, New Zealand, was angry after reading intimate text messages to her husband from another woman. With her husband in the passenger seat, she drove to the mistress’ apartment complex. She drove through the gate and smashed into someone else’s garage. The driver pleaded guilty to causing around $43,000 in property damage. There is no word on the state of the marriage.
Fisherman Lands 200-pound Catch
John Goldfinch was fishing with his friends on the beach at Budleigh Salterton, Devon, England when he felt the tug of something really big. Hoping for the catch of his life, Goldfinch struggled to land the massive fish. But he could not keep his trophy, as his hook had snagged the crotch of a scuba diver!
Mr Goldfinch, of Exmouth, said: “My mates were falling about laughing. I said ‘sorry mate, I didn’t see you there’ and he just said it was very murky down there.
“The funniest thing was that his girlfriend then surfaced, helped him remove my tackle from his tackle and nonchalantly handed the hook back to me and apologised.
Giant Lobster Becomes Coney Island Freak
While a typical lobster meal involves a crustacean of one to two pounds, an 18 pound lobster was caught off the coast of Canada and sent with a shipment to a seafood company in San Francisco. The company’s bookkeeper recognized the rarity of a lobster of such size and posted an ad online to find it a home. The lobster was named Big Red and is estimated to be about 75 years old. The New York Aquarium in Coney Island responded and had Big Red shipped to the east coast. Now he is on display at the aquarium, which is run by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Big Red has proved to be a very popular exhibit.
Dump Truck Dangles from Third Floor
A New York City salt truck smashed through the wall of a three-story parking garage in Queens Tuesday. The truck stopped, leaving the cab hanging out of the building with the driver, 56-year-old Robert Legall, inside. Over 100 firefighters responded to the scene, and rescued the driver using a tower ladder truck within a half hour. The driver was hospitalized with neck and back injuries. If the photos are any evidence, it was a very frightening half hour for Legall. Bricks fell to the ground, but no one else was injured when the accident occurred.
Bullock Rescued from Ladder
A young bull was spotted in South Ayrshire, Scotland in a delicate situation. His head was wedged into a ladder. Passers-by called the SPCA to report the problem. The farmer who owns the animal was contacted and said he had no idea how that happened. It wasn’t even his ladder! The SPCA inspector thought someone was pulling his leg until he saw the animal. After the herd was rounded up and secured, the inspector and the farmer managed to wrestle the ladder from the bullock’s head.
Police Chase Forklift
Police in Forth Worth, Texas, chased a shirtless man driving a stolen forklift through city streets. The forklift had been taken from a construction site.
A witness videotaped the chase and then posted it to YouTube. He and his roommate had stopped for gas on University Drive when they saw the forklift go by.
Nathan Lowery said he was stunned as he watched the shirtless suspect raise and lower the forks. It looked like the man was trying to antagonize police, he said.
“When we passed him, the guy was standing up chugging a beer and threw it at the cop car behind him,” Lowery said.
Timothy Raines was eventually arrested on the interstate highway.
Kitten Dropped into Landfill by Hawk
A tiny black and white kitten was found at a dump in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and taken to the local SPCA shelter. He had been dropped there by a red-tailed hawk! Staff at the shelter noted talon punctures in his side, as well as an injured foot that had begun healing. Shelter staff named the kitten Hawk, and he will be adopted out when fully recovered. The red-tailed hawks are employed by the dump to keep pigeons away.
