So it’s Halloween, you’re in from out-of-state and you decide to grab grandpa’s Depends and go out trick-or-treating. And you’re pushing 50 years old as well. If that’s not enough, you decide, hey, I should do this while I’m drunk.
OCEAN CITY, Md. – Maryland State Police said a drunken 47-year-old Florida man wearing a diaper was arrested for shouting profanities while trick-or-treating. Police said Joseph David DiVanna of Sarasota, Fla., was arrested about 9:15 p.m. Sunday and charged with disorderly conduct.
Police said witnesses reported DiVanna cursed at adults and children in the Fox Chapel neighborhood of West Ocean City as he tried to get them to give him candy.

There’s nothing like a good superhero fight in a public parking garage, now is there?
STAMFORD, Conn. – It is assault charges for Spider-Man and Captain America, and breach of peace for Poison Ivy. Police in Connecticut said a man dressed as Captain America and another as Spider-Man have been arrested after getting into a fight in Stamford over the Halloween weekend.
Stamford Police Lt. Elizabeth Erickson said officers found 25-year-old Michael Sanchez, dressed as Captain America, beating the father of 21-year-old Vincent DeCarlo, sporting a Spider-Man costume, in a parking garage Sunday morning.

The bus stop, in front of the Benrath Senior Centre in the western city of Düsseldorf, is an exact replica of a standard stop, with one small difference: buses never stop there.
The idea emerged after the centre was forced to rely on police to retrieve patients who wanted to return to their homes and families but had forgotten that in many cases neither existed any longer.
Now that’s what I call thinking outside of the box. I like it!

GARY, Ind. — Church leaders visiting a former funeral home they recently bought in a tax sale stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — four unidentified bodies that had been left behind, perhaps for years, in the vacant building.
Lake County Coroner David J. Pastrick described the situation as “unbelievable.”
Leaders of the Northlake Church of Christ called authorities after finding a body bag on a table Sunday.
Pastrick and his staff investigated and found one body in the bag, another in a corrugated burial box and two in caskets.
“They are unidentifiable,” Pastrick said Tuesday of the remains.
Pastrick said the bodies may have been in the former Serenity Gardens Funeral Home since 2006, when the Indiana State Board of Funeral and Cemetery Services revoked the business license for owner Darryl Cammack.

The tower’s tilt of about four metres off the vertical has remained stable in recent years, after a big engineering project that ended in 2001 corrected its lean by about 40 centimetres from where it was in 1990 when the project began.
“Now we can say that the tower can rest easy for at least 300 years.”
So how many years does the Grand Canyon have left?

This joy ride was grounded from the start. A sheriff’s deputy arrested a man accused of getting into a small, private plane and doing figure-8′s on the grass. Authorities don’t believe Walker has any flying experience. Walker found the keys inside and started the plane, which eventually ended up nose-down in the grass.
I’m picturing a 3 Stooges episode taking place and only wish that there was video of this. While the story doesn’t say, it’d be a good bet that drugs, alcohol and/or insanity played a role in this. Luckily no one was hurt.

Lulu is now offering printing on rolls of toilet paper. Interesting idea, but not $90 for 4 rolls interesting. And definitely not very cost effective unless you’re charging people to use your bathroom.

How embarrassing…
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec 6 (Reuters Life!) – It may be one problem airline security officials never envisioned — a passenger lighting matches in flight to mask odors from her flatulence.
The woman’s actions resulted in an emergency landing on Monday in Nashville of an American Airlines flight bound for Dallas from Washington, D.C., said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for Nashville’s airport.
Other passengers reported the odor of burned matches, but the woman was not forthcoming when asked about it, Lowrance said on Wednesday.
“Of course, she was scared and embarrassed but all the passengers had to disembark, all the luggage had to be searched, a canine team was brought in, and about three hours were consumed in sorting out the situation,” she said.
The woman was not allowed back on the flight and barred from flying on American Airlines, Lowrance said.
