Could someone please tell me how in the hell this semi got here?
According to the person who sent this, the driver has only been in the U.S. a few months. He had missed his turn by Billings MT. And figured he could go over the hill and continue on the road. Apparently he didn't know there were rail tracks on top of the grade which doesn't matter, he'd be stuck anyhow..... The truck owner figures he had to hit the angle at over 55 miles an hour in order to make the top. If you look close at some of the pictures you will see that it is only when the large reefer trailer pinched the rear tires of the truck that the truck stopped.....

Thanks Big Ben
I was actually joking about the title.

Woman who terrorized town masturbated in the street
A violent, abusive drunk who masturbated in a busy street in a Lincolnshire town has been served with an Asbo.Kelly Hunt (22) has been slapped with an anti-social behavior order after a court heard she terrorized residents in Sleaford for months – urinating and pleasuring herself in public, assaulting neighbors and threatening a child.
If she breaks it, she could be jailed for up to five years.
Hunt – an habitual drinker who lives with her mother on Sycamore Drive in Sleaford – is also said to have assaulted two of her neighbors at their home after kicking at the door.
Now magistrates have agreed to serve her with an interim Asbo in order to stop her engaging in threatening or abusive behavior and from causing distress.
The terms of the Asbo also ban her from entering licensed premises and boozing in public.
Hunt is accused of committing a campaign of havoc against her neighbors for months, the court heard, and on one occasion she pleasured herself and urinated in full view of passers by on Eastgate in Sleaford.
On another, she allegedly threatened a 10-year-old girl with a glass before assaulting her mother.

I don't know what's going on with this link that I got from FOXNews but I tried it but it didn't work. I also went to other websites that had this same story and their link don't work either.
Maybe it's an OVERLOAD or HOAX that is a deliberate attempt to dupe, deceive or trick an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when in fact it is not; or that something is true, when in fact it is false.

Apparently the site has exceeded its bandwidth capacity and crashed. Too many people want this dream job, the poor site couldn't handle it. My take on it is that a person has a very unlikely chance of getting this position. I have applied to similar jobs that have been based throughout Europe with no luck (duh). What is funny to me is that the site crashed! Wouldn't you think they would increase it enough or make a redirect knowing this would go viral like this?

I can't even get it from my Portland based wireless internet.

Ark. funeral home no haven for meth lab
A funeral home might be a place for eternal rest, but police say an Arkansas man saw an opportunity to build a methamphetamine lab undisturbed by the living.
There was just one problem - the funeral home was across the street from the sheriff's office.
Officers say Robert Lee Lewis left the light on in the basement of the Higginbotham Funeral Home in Walnut Ridge on Dec. 3. Officers noticed the light on after hours and walked into the funeral home through an open door.
Inside, police say they found all the components necessary to build a meth lab. Officers arrested the former funeral home employee when he returned.
The 43-year-old faces several drug charges and is free on $2,500 bond pending a Jan. 21 court hearing.
