WEIRD NEWS: The Dog Ate My Prescription


A Florida woman was really barking up the wrong tree when she was busted for drug possession during a traffic stop -- and told cops the pills actually belonged to her dog.

Anita Wymer was picked up for doing more than 90 miles per hour down I-95 in the wee hours of Saturday morning, and when the deputy approached her car, he noticed a strong aroma of booze. Wymer admitted she'd been drinking and couldn't pass a Breathalyzer test, which led the officer to search her vehicle -- where he found about 15 assorted tranquilizers and anti-depressants, but no prescription.

The 56-year-old woman said the pills had actually been prescribed to her dog, but did acknowledge that she'd taken one earlier in the evening. She was taken to jail and charged with multiple traffic offenses, as well as drug possession.


WEIRD NEWS: Woman Goes Nuts Over Doughnuts


An Indiana woman is in jail after she stabbed her husband with a fork -- because he didn't come home with her favorite doughnuts.

Police say 37-year-old Michelle Nelson sent her husband Timothy out to get doughnuts. Unfortunately, the store ran out of her favorite flavor, so Timothy came home empty-handed. That was a big mistake. Michelle admits to getting angry because Timothy "did not know what else she liked after being together for several years."

The couple got into a heated argument, and when Timothy tried to leave the house, Michelle stopped him and stabbed him in the chest with a fork. Timothy then ran outside the house and sat against a tree, where officers found him applying pressure to his chest. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Michelle was placed under arrest and charged with aggravated battery.



WEIRD NEWS: Armed and Delicious!


An elderly British woman ended a beef with a wanna-be mugger by pulling out some pork -- and beating the crooked chick over the head with a package of bacon.

The 86-year-old, whose name was not released, had withdrawn a "sizeable" amount of money from an ATM to do her weekly shopping, then headed to her local supermarket. While walking the aisles, she was approached by the thuggish gal, who grabbed her shopping cart and backed her into a corner, demanding she turn over all her cash.

Rather than turn over the lettuce, the saucy granny took the bacon from her cart and began pummeling the younger woman, eventually chasing her from the store. Cops are looking at the surveillance tape in hopes of hauling the suspect in for some serious grilling.

Planning A Trip With Friends... Here's a few tips that could save your friendship..

VACATIONING WITH FRIENDS

In the exact same way going on vacation for the first time with a partner can put a strain on the relationship, going on vacation with a group of friends can leave you with less friends when you get home than you had when you left!

Here are some expert tips on what you can do to when traveling with a group of friends ... so you are all still friends after the vacation is over:

• Agree on a budget before you leave: If one friend can’t afford to go off the all-inclusive resort every night for dinner and everyone else has a bunch of bucks to spare, it's going to cause discord and hurt feelings. Agree on how much you will spend on food and drinks and stick to it.

• Talk about what you want out of the vacation: If you have plans to go zip lining and scuba diving and the rest of the group just wants to sit by the pool all day and party all night you probably shouldn’t go on the trip with them.

• Agree that you don’t have to do everything together as a group: Splitting up is perfectly acceptable. Just make sure you are safe and don’t go off on your own or with strangers.

• Resist the urge to complain or gossip about another person: When you are in close quarters with people all day, every day, you will get annoyed – even if you are on a tropical island. Instead of complaining, take a swim or a walk on the beach. Clear your head and realize whatever the annoyance is, it’s trivial and not worth risking your friendship over.

Garry's selfless nurturing of talent will be passed on to future generations along with all that he has created."

MICHAEL JACKSON: Weird Revelations in New Book


Remember Doctor Conrad Murray -- who gave Michael Jackson that fatal dose of anesthesia?

To avoid being seen by paparazzi or reporters, Jackson allegedly stayed away from prominent hotels and instead booked his hookers at Las Vegas's little known Gold Coast Hotel & Casino.

In what may be a world class example of chutzpah, Murray claims the book isn't a money grab -- but a way to tell "the story of who Michael Jackson was... He wanted me to tell this story — now I am fulfilling his wish."

MAN SUES STRIP CLUB FOR “COERCING” HIM TO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY

In England, a man sued a strip club for “coercing” him to spend a third of his salary while he was blacked out.

Gil David got drunk at his friend’s bachelor party at the Spearmint Rhino and then woke up to a $10,000 bill.

As anyone who’s ever spent time in a strip club knows, your money can go very, very quickly in there. Drinks are expensive. The girls are even more expensive.

Well, Gil ended up getting a deal as he and the strip club agreed to settle. Which means, he pretty much got a discount price on the night of his life.

UMM... WHAT???



A central Pennsylvania man was charged Thursday after police say he sprayed fluid used to embalm a human brain on marijuana that he then smoked.

State police in Carlisle charged 26-year-old Joshua Lee Long with abuse of a corpse and conspiracy.

Court records indicate Long’s aunt contacted detectives on June 21 after finding a human brain in a department store bag under a porch while cleaning out a trailer.

Long allegedly told her during a phone conversation from the Cumberland County jail that he used the formaldehyde-soaked pot to get high.

“The defendant related that he knew it was illegal to have the brain and that he and (another man) would spray the embalming fluid on ‘weed’ to get high,” wrote Trooper John Boardman, the investigator.

Court records indicate a coroner concluded the brain was real and that Long supposedly named it Freddy.

The coroners who examined the brain believe it was most likely a stolen teaching specimen, according to the arrest affidavit.

Long remains in jail, and court records did not list a lawyer for him.
