It Coulda Been Me
A Washington state man is undergoing 'mental evaluation' after shooting his computer -- four times in the hard drive and once in the monitor. Dude. We feel your pain.
|
A Ribbiting Tale
Another week, another frog story. This time a tornado in Mexico scooped up a gang of toads and hurled them into town. An actual toad shower. Yes, It's True.
|
Deer Rings
A Virginia woman has been charged with cruelty to animals because she, um, put earrings on a fawn. She faces jail and a fine. If she'd just shot it in season she might have avoided the law.
|
Deer Devil
A confused deer in New York crashed through a dining room window, danced with a Labrador named Maddie and then hopped through a double-paned window and into a swimming pool. Oh, deer.
|
A Dog's Life
The quality of life for New Orleans' dogs is on the rise. The Three Dog Bakery now hosts dog parties and weddings serving unfathomable delights such as mutt muffins.
|
Putting on the Dog
Two Philadelphia couples got in a tussle over a house. One couple nabbed the other's dogs and demanded $45,000 in ransom. Must have been a really nice house.
|
Cluck a Little
A Virginia woman has been crowned chicken-clucking champion and made a subsequent appearance on Jay Leno. Her father says she inherited her talent from her mother.
|
A Gray Matter
A lab in England has been burglarized. All the bandits took was a brain. Hmmm. Perhaps the bobbies ought to keep an eye out for short guys with hunchbacks.

Last week's Yes, It's True.
