You just can't make this stuff up! The crazy news of the day thread.

Sounds like there are several mentally unbalanced among us making headlines! Wow! Pretty awful the things they come up with! You wonder how much drugs has to do with the disordered thinking.

I really feel for the poor terrified woman in the cornfield with her cell phone—thank goodness she had the presence of mind to grab it and run to make her call.

To lighten up the mood a bit:

I would love to have a real owl in my xmas tree!

The owl! Oh my! Poor thing. Can you imagine the terrified family if it had started screeching in the middle of the night???

Can you imagine how terrified the owl was to find itself inside with people poking at it?

This is hilarious!! The music fits the scene captured in that video sooo well. Perfect!

These garbage eagles (and other birds) are a giant nuisance for the neighboring communities.

In a nutshell, Garth Brooks wore a Barry Sanders #20 football jersey for a concert in Detroit, where Sanders was a star player and #20 had been his jersey number. The Detroit crowd loved it, but when pictures of Garth Brooks in a “Sanders 20” shirt hit the internet, some thought it was an endorsement of Bernie Sanders in 2020, and many people were upset.

I find it hilarious.

Good grief, police pull over a driver on the highway-he is FIVE YEARS OLD.

I figured that story would make it to this thread! :smiley:

How does this even happen? He was never showed how to drive before and then magically can drive?

Not well, I’d wager.

He looked like he was doing as well as some other drivers I see! He must have been tall to see over the steering wheel.

I saw this on tv. The kid looked at least 10 years old or more. Looked way too big to be five.

Well, our gov said we would have malls and retail open 5/7—9 hours later he said whoops, 5/15 not 5/7! Yep, clear misdirection.

His 16 year old sister also states he is 5 years old.
