Quote:
Americans love their pets—and a new poll shows just how much we dote on our critters, while revealing some curious attitudes toward animals (and people).
Six out of ten voters interviewed have a pet, with a third reporting that their critters sleep in the bed with them. (No word on whether that includes reptiles.)
Perhaps not surprisingly, one in five people said they'd prefer to spend time with their animals than with other people. (See pictures of pampered pets.)

A trained gymnast whose naked acrobatics and harassment of passengers at a San Francisco public transit station were captured on video and circulated widely on the Internet is facing criminal charges over his antics, authorities said on Tuesday.
Garizabalo was a member of the ClownSnotBombs Circus, an acrobatic performance troupe in Berkeley. He dropped out of the group shortly before the BART station incident.

Quote:
Per Gothamist, a woman with a 0.24 blood alcohol level "allegedly"* crashed her car into a graveyard containing the mortal remains of her beloved mobbed-up boyfriend. The woman, alleged to be driving a 2001 Chrysler Sebring, left her car hanging precariously over a fresh yet open grave in the Moravian Cemetery in the New Dorp neighborhood of New York's famous Staten Island. The deceased boyfriend, Frank Fresca, was murdered in 2008 and his death is allegedly tied to his cooperation with the FBI in regard to another murder. It should be noted that authorities can't prove she was aiming for his final resting spot but let's not let that ruin the narrative.

A Georgia state worker has some sex-plaining to do after she reportedly demanded that a woman prove her sex to get a driver's license.
"She said I needed to go have a PAP exam, have a doctor write a note verifying you're a woman, and bring it back-– notarized," Grimes said.

The woman, in the southern city of Dunedin, could only grunt as she made a midnight emergency call.
"Ambulance received a call but, due to the muffled speech, they were unsure whether it was a medical event or whether someone had been gagged," said Senior Sergeant Steve Aitken.
"And then I got into bed and thought: what have I put on my mouth?" The woman, who spoke to New Zealand's TV3 channel, said she then discovered her mouth was glued shut and dialed the emergency number.

Men try to impress their friends almost twice as much as women do by quoting Shakespeare and pretending to like jazz to seem more clever.
A fifth of all adults admitted they have tried to impress others by making out they are more cultured than they really are, but this rises to 41 per cent in London.
