Kevin Russell found out it’s not easy trying to cash a check from God. The 21-year-old man was arrested Monday after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank in Hobart that was signed "King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant," Hobart police Detective Jeff White said.
Russell was charged with one count attempted check fraud and one count intimidation, both felonies, and one count resisting law enforcement, a misdemeanor. He could face prison time.

I thought these guys were endangered?

Ministers have decided to keep the controversial option open as a last resort.
Using contraception methods has also been approved.
Government scientists say the elephant population is growing by more than 5% a year and is expected to double by 2020.
Supporters of the cull say the elephants pose a serious threat to the environment because of their huge appetites.
A single adult elephant can devour up to one ton of grass, leaves and foliage every day.

How dumb is Paris Hilton? She seems to think she’s above the law or something:
Paris Hilton could have her probation revoked — possibly resulting in jail time — if she is found to have been driving with a suspended license because it would violate conditions of her previous sentence for reckless driving, authorities said Wednesday.
The 26-year-old hotel heiress and star of “The Simple Life” was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license after her blue Bentley Continental GTC was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard on Tuesday, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Duane Allen Jr. said.
She was stopped about …read more

Thi is pretty gross but a great idea:

When John got divorced after 12 years of marriage, he took a deep breath and launched into the dating scene.
"And wham, with my very first girlfriend, I caught herpes," he says. "You feel betrayed and all of a sudden separated from the rest of the world. I thought at the time that the girl who gave it to me and I were the only people in the world who had it."
But John and his date are far from alone. And the growing number of people in similar situations has created a new industry: …read more

Once again this is really sad but nonetheless incredibly stupid!  Why would they let tourists pose with a tiger at a zoo?  There’s a reason they’re called wild animals!

A six-year-old girl has been killed by a tiger at a zoo in Kunming in south-western China’s Yunnan province.
The girl was posing for photographs with the tiger when it was startled by camera flashes and pulled the girl’s head into its mouth, state media said.
Staff beat the tiger until it released the girl, but she had suffered a crushed skull and died in hospital.
The zoo has stopped allowing visitors to pose with …read more

Is this your idea of a fun time, because personally being treated as an illegal immigrant is not the way I typically like to spend my Sunday afternoons!

Millions of migrants have crossed illegally from Mexico into the United States. Their experience could hardly be more real. But now at a controversial theme park in Mexico, tourists can pretend to be an illegal migrant.
Torch, check. Heavy boots, check. Willingness to hide under bushes, check. Ability to see in the dark, an advantage.
Preparation for what, you might think? A hike across Dartmoor? Try a night out in a theme park.
But when I …read more

I feel bad for saying this because the poor guy is dead, but come on, who uses a laptop while they’re driving?  That’s SO DUMB!

A man who authorities say appeared to be driving while using his laptop computer died Monday when his vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a Hummer.
After the crash, California Highway Patrol officers found the victim’s computer still running and plugged into the cigarette lighter of his 1991 Honda Accord.
The 28-year-old victim was a computer tutor. The Sutter County Coroner’s Office was withholding his identity until his family could be notified.

I would hope that if my neighbors hadn’t heard or seen me other than my blaring TV for 2 years they’d call someone.  Poor guy!  I hope he was at least watching a good channel!

Police called to a Long Island man’s house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set.
