There's A Stranger In My Bed

Frank Fontana was surprised to wake up next to a strange man in his bed at 5:30am on 03/17/2010. Cold and drunk, the man was apparently searching for shelter after leaving a Jay-Z concert. Fontana asked the intruder if he was a woman who had keys to his house, when a male voice replied no, Fontana jumped up and grabbed a baseball bat. The intruder was charged with criminal trespass and criminal mischief. I thought this whole thing was a bit funny...kind of creepy, but still funny. It reminds me of the Rip Torn arrest, except I felt sad for him.

Please drink responsibly!

A Robbery May Have Saved His Life

Serge Noel was rushed to the hospital after a mild heart attack. Noel tried to stop Edward Munez from robbing the So Loved CBL Supermarket after a call from the alarm company. The stress sent Noel to the hospital where they found he had cardiomyopathy. Doctors say he may have lived for only a few more months if the condition wasn't discovered. I'm glad Noel was okay, and I think everything happens for a reason. Just like the Phil Wheaton case.

Venus de Milo made of snow is CENSORED!!! And more bizarre news


A family from New Jersey had to cover-up its snow statue on their front yard because of an order from the Police.

Elisa Gonzalez, a 44 years old mom from Rahway, told reporters her and her 12 and 21 years old children had built the famous Greek armless statue in her front yard.

But an anonymous neighbor told the police about a nude snow woman, and the police asked the family to either cover it up or destroy it.

It is sexier now though.

Do you want some more bizarre news?? Check out this dog that is addicted to cigarettes and NEEDS at least 2 a day. This great report was found on PawnNation.com.

What about receiving 45 pounds of weed in a box delivered by UPS?? That is not the only problem; the biggest one is that Sarah Howell Leach, from North Carolina, was just expecting her new computer. As soon as she found out what it was she called the police. Check out the full report on SalisburyPost.com.

What about this under water museum in Isla Mujeres in Mexico. When everything is completed, the museum will count with some 400 concrete figures. The first sculptures were made by the British artist Jason de Caires. A few pictures can be found here at Pick Chur.

I am going to finishing this post about strange news with the Police of Dayton, Ohio. Training, a couple of weeks ago, was a little bit different than usual, some may say. Some cops had to drink alcoholic beverages as part of an exercise. According to them, they had to be models for other cops to perform the sobriety test. Not too bad of a job I would say. The full report and a video can be found at WDTN.com.

On “Greg Laden’s” blog you can also read 2 stories about animal attacks. The first story is about a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo that escaped its cage … the second story is about a circus bear that killed its trainer and injured 2 other people….

The “Buckle’s Blog” is a blog that talks about circus history around the world….I read that Ursula Bottcher passed away March 4, 2010. Ursula Bottcher was a polar bear trainer and was called the "Brilliant Baroness of Bears".

Taiwan Hit by Another Earthquake

Taiwan has just been hit by an earthquake with a 6.4 magnitude. I'm just glad a lot of people weren't hurt. Considering all things, it still wasn't as bad as Haiti (7.0 magnitude) or Chile (8.8 magnitude). Though the quake didn't claim many lives, it did cause a lot of damage. Thank God it's not like 1999 all over again.
