Girl Kicks Guy In His Face – Knocked Him Out Cold

Airline let man wearing women's underwear on board

Six days before a college football player was arrested at San Francisco International Airport in a dispute that began because he tried to board a US Airways jet with sagging pants, a man who was wearing little but women's undergarments was allowed to fly the airline.

 .
A photo of the scantily clad man was provided from a passenger on the June 9 flight from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Phoenix. Some passengers had complained to airline workers before the plane boarded, but that employees had ignored those complaints.
US Airways spokesperson Valerie Wunder confirmed she'd received the photo; but said employees had been correct not to ask the man to cover himself.

Half a Renault Clio and half a motorbike

This contraption - made by welding half a Renault Clio onto a motorbike - was invented by a 17-year-old, although he was later banned from driving it on the road when he got stopped by the police.

.
Markus Sell, from Jonschwil in Switzerland, turned heads on his first trip out with his magnificent machine, which sees the driver sitting on the back passenger seat of the Clio while steering using the front wheel of a bike.
The seating arrangements probably weren't what caught the eye, though - more the fact that he was reaching speeds of up to 70mph.
But his maiden voyage was cut short when he was pulled over by traffic cops.
The police gave him short shrift when he was spotted riding (or is it driving) - mainly because he was breaking so many laws all at once, and because they couldn't actually tell what it was.
'It wasn't taxed, insured or tested. In fact, we weren't even sure it was a car or a motorbike,' one officer said.
Sell is apparently set to go back to the drawing board in order to invent something similar - but hopefully roadworthy and legal, this time.

Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know You Needed

Man steals just $1.00 from bank
A North Carolina man said he robbed a bank of $1 and waited for police so he could go to prison and receive healthcare.
Richard Verone, 59, said he robbed the RBC Bank in Gastonia of $1 June 9 and sat down to wait for police in the hopes of being convicted so he could receive healthcare for a growth in his chest and two ruptured disks..
Police said Verone, who was unarmed, handed a note to a teller demanding $1 and claiming he had a gun. The police report said Verone then sat down on a couch and waited for officers to arrive at the bank.
"I'm sort of a logical person and that was my logic, what I came up with," Verone said. "If it is called manipulation, then out of necessity because I need medical care, then I guess I am manipulating the courts to get medical care."

Slot machine pays $24,988 too much
State regulators say a gambler won a $25,000 jackpot on a Pittsburgh casino slot machine that should have paid out only $12.
The Gaming Control Board tells the false jackpot happened on May 29, 2010. The generous payout happened in one of five instances involving Rivers Casino machines that weren't properly tested or certified.
The board was to have levied an unspecified fine against the casino. But it nixed a consent agreement with the casino Monday after some board members felt a stronger message needed to be sent.
Casino officials say the player was allowed to keep the jackpot and that it paid all taxes on it. Rivers spokesperson Jack Horner says the casino takes the matter seriously and has retrained all of its technicians.

Overdue book returned to library 122 years late
Staff at an Australia library has been stunned after first edition copy of Charles Darwin's Insectivorous Plants book was returned 122 years late.
Date stamp inside the first edition copy showed that the book had been borrowed more than a century ago, on January 30, 1889.
Investigations have found that the book had been in a private collection for 50 years before being handed to a local university, whose employees passed it back to the library.
Staff at the Camden Library in Sydney’s southwest has estimated that the late fees for the book were about $35,000 (£22,800).
The book won’t have a fine because it was the library's "fine amnesty month", when borrowers could bring back late books in exchange for a donation to charity.
However, the book would never be lent out again, she said.
"It will be preserved, it will be here, people will be able to look at it but we're not loaning it out, it's grounded for a very long time."

An unemployed jewelry setter has taken to combing the streets of New York with a pair of tweezers to cash in on dropped gems and gold.

Raffi Stepanian, 43, has begun crawling around the New York 'Diamond District' on his hands and knees, plucking jewels and fragments of precious metals from between the slabs.
Armed with a pair of tweezers, Mr. Stepanian, an unemployed diamond setter from Queens, claims to have collected $1,010 (£623) worth in the past two weeks. "I'm surviving on it," he said.
"I may be about to trigger a new gold rush on the streets of New York," Mr Stepanian said "The soil in the cracks of sidewalks on 47th street is saturated with the stuff".
