media and the internet, your potential dates can (and will) learn a
lot about you before ever meeting face-to-face.
Findings

- 76% spend 15 minutes or more on research, per person
- Two-thirds say they go "most" or "all the way" back in a person's social media profile
- 40% have backed out of a date because of something they found researching online
- 61% admit to fantasizing about future dates before meeting them
At
the end of the day, the majority of people (63%) say they aren't

A
California man was arrested in Davis County, Utah after he allegedly
bit a large chunk of another man's ear off following an argument
about conspiracy theories. 43-year-old Bryan David Boyack is charged
with one count of mayhem, three counts of domestic violence in the
presence of a child, one count of criminal mischief, and one count of
intoxication. Investigators said Boyack was in a hot tub with the
victim who mentioned that he worked for a big banking business.
Boyack took issue with that, and began an “extremely heated”
argument about big corporations and conspiracy theories. The victim
then locked Boyack out of his home and Boyack began hitting the front
of the house with patio furniture. The victim went outside to tell
Boyack to stop damaging the home, and that's when he was attacked.
Boyack allegedly held the victim to the ground and bit off a large
chunk of his ear. Boyack then got into his truck and drove off. The
victim detailed his attack to detectives at a hospital. Boyack was
taken into custody after turning himself in to police.

Police
in Perth, Australia, thought they had a potentially tragic incident
on their hands when they were called to a house after a report of a
toddler screaming and a man shouting death threats. Multiple police
units arrived at a property on Wednesday morning after a neighbor
heard a child’s piercing screams and a man repeatedly yelling, “Why
don’t you die?” Fearing the worst, officers responded to the
incident only to find a man had simply been trying to kill a spider.
Wanneroo Police posted the original incident report on Twitter with
the caption: “Never a dull moment for police!” Upon arrival, an
embarrassed man told the police he was terrified of spiders and had
been trying to kill one that had found its way into the house. The
police report concluded, “No injuries sighted, except to spider, no
further police involvement required.” Wanneroo Police have since
deleted the post, as it contained police communications, but
confirmed to the Guardian that the bizarre incident had occurred.
