A Georgia man had to rescue his mother from the second floor during a fire at a DeKalb County home that allegedly began over a box of Cheez-Its. Officials tell CBS46 News that two brothers and their 61-year-old mother were at the home when an argument began over a box of Cheez-It snack crackers. That’s when one of the brothers, who police say was intoxicated, locked his brother and mother inside the home and began pouring gasoline on the front steps. He then lit the home on fire, trapping the two inside. The brother was able to lift his mother down from the second story window and then get himself out safely. The man who started the fire, only described as a 32-year-old man, was taken into custody. It’s unclear what charges he is facing. (https://bit.ly/2IfeJ9H)

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
Your Fish Is an Imposter
That fish you just bought is probably a fake. According to researchers, mislabeling of fish runs rampant, with about a quarter of fish being sold as something that they are not—yellowtail sold as mahi-mahi, shark that’s actually perch, and everything else that’s actually tilapia.

Police are hunting for a man who attacked the wax figure of hip hop mogul Sean Combs during a visit to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. According to NBC New York, the suspect, wearing a black jacket with a hood and blue jeans, went to the Times Square location's ninth floor on Saturday night where the statue of Diddy is housed. He then started yelling at the wax likeness of the celebrity who has also gone by the aliases P. Diddy, Puff Daddy and Puffy, before knocking it over and causing the head to separate from the statue. Police say that the vandal then stomped on the sculpture of Combs' head before taking off from the museum on foot. Investigators believe he intentionally went after the Grammy-winning artist's statue causing $300,000 worth of damage to the figure.
