Man helps himself to beer at Walgreen’s

A man suspected of stealing beer from a Wichita store says there's a logical explanation.

The 25-year-old man was arrested late Saturday on his way out of a Walgreen’s in northwest Wichita. Since the store was already closed, the man tripped the burglar alarm -- and a police officer caught the suspect nearby with a case of light beer.

The man explained that he couldn't get any employees to sell him the beer while the store was still open. So he found a place to hide, and then waited for the store to close and the employees to leave before he helped himself.

There's no word on charges, and the man's name has not been released.

Police in Rochester, N.H., would like to get their claws on a woman accused of shoplifting 14 live lobsters.

Iceland's penis museum gets human specimen

In life, Pall Arason was an attention-seeker. In death, the 95-year-old Icelander's pickled penis will be the main attraction at one of the world's most bizarre museums.

Sigurdur Hjartarson, who runs the Phallological Museum in the tiny Icelandic fishing town of Husavik, says Arason's organ will help complete his extensive collection of whale, seal, bear, and other mammalian members. The museum has been open since 1997 but Hjartarson has long waited for a human specimen to round out his display.

The museum now contains a collection of two hundred and nine penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland.
