The World in Weird - Another Day, A Little Stranger

THAT CAR LOOKS FAMILIAR

When Charles Chambers showed up at the Anderson, SC sheriff's office to demand the return of money seized during a drug arrest, he probably would have been wise to call a cab. 

After deputies told him to leave, one of them noticed that the car he was getting into matched the description of a reported stolen vehicle.  He was pulled over and told to stop.  He had to stick a screwdriver in the ignition to turn the vehicle off.  It seems the ignition switch had been removed.

D'oh!

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL GET ANY INTEREST ON THAT

An employee at the Kitsap Credit Union in Bremerton, WA was processing the night deposits when he noticed that one of the envelopes contained not only money, but methamphetamines. 

The police were notified and they contacted the 18-year old customer.  Although they aren't quite certain, they think the bag might have been in her pocket and accidentally put in with the money when she pulled it out to make the deposit. 

Let's HOPE it was accidental, ‘cause I'd hate to think someone was THAT stupid!

BACK OFF, OR I'LL MAKE YOU WATCH RERUNS OF "THE DATING GAME"!

Poor Geoffrey Fryatt.  He had a great life and a lovely home at the Fairways Golf and Lifestyle Retreat in Brisbane, Australia.  Unfortunately, his finance broker defrauded him of his life savings.  That was enough to push Fryatt over the edge.  The 57-year old was arrested by an elite paramilitary plice group after frightening his neighbors with a knife and then threatening to blow up a cache of chemicals with a remote. 

"One push of the button will blow up half of Brisbane".  Fortunately, the only thing that remote worked on was the television in his living room. 

EWWWW!

Talk about not right in the head!  Carlton Jermaine Davis of Minnesota is just plain weird.  Maybe that's too mild of a word. 

What did he do?  Well, according to the criminal complaint, he approached a woman leaving work, robbed her of her keys and cell phone, put them in a bag and then told her "I'm going to suck your feet."

Police arrested him a few minutes later.  He was sentenced to five years' probation. 

BEWARE OF FALLING...

Moose?  Well, it wasn't quite a typical day when Alaska State Trooper Howard Peterson saw what he though was a rock falling about 20 feet in front of his patrol car.  It happens on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage every now and then.  "Falling rock!" is what he said he thought as he prepared to steer clear if it bounced onto the highway.

But it didn't bounce.  It didn't break.  It didn't even roll.  No, it just kind of lay there...dead.  It seems that it was a moose that had fallen off a cliff and landed next to  the highway.

"They occasionally have bad days like the rest of us," said wildlife biologist Rick Sinnott. "They slip and fall. Maybe he was reaching for a branch and the snow just gave way."  Maybe he'd had enough, and just couldn't take it another day...

Wow, that's SOME bad day!  Hope yours is better!
