A Mississippi man is charged with drunken driving after using his all-terrain vehicle to try to pull his pickup truck off a highway. The Daily Leader reports 21-year-old Trenton Blackmon of Natchez was driving his pickup Saturday night when it ran out of gas on U.S. Highway 84 near Monticello. Cpl. Brandon Fortenberry of the Mississippi Highway Patrol says Blackmon's truck was hauling an all-terrain vehicle on a trailer. When the truck stopped running, Blackmon used the ATV to try to pull the truck. While he was doing that, another vehicle crashed into the empty trailer, pushing it under the truck and causing the truck to hit the ATV. Nobody was injured, but Blackmon was charged with DUI. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney. (https://bit.ly/2FUWUtN)

Flamingos Turn Pink From Eating Shrimp
You might think these bright birds are born that color, but it turns out flamingos are a living adage: they are what they eat—and they eat pink shrimp. “Flamingos are born with gray plumage. They get their rosy hue pink by ingesting a type of organic pigment called a carotenoid,” explains Smithsonian. “They obtain this through their main food source, brine shrimp, which feast on microscopic algae that naturally produce carotenoids. Enzymes in the flamingos’ liver break down the compounds into pink and orange pigment molecules, which are then deposited into the birds’ feathers, legs and beaks.”

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
According to Kansas City Police, the popular board game Monopoly has the power to bring families together, but in one case it did the opposite, leaving one person in need of stitches this weekend in Kansas City, Kansas. Police Chief Terry Zeigler tweeted out a brief regarding the incident, writing that police were called to a home after a report was made of an aggravated battery. Police report that the victim was playing a game of Monopoly with his cousin when they engaged in an argument. The cousin’s girlfriend then hit the victim and shoved him into a mirror. His injuries required stitches. The suspect fled the scene of the crime and no arrests have been made — bringing a whole new meaning to the loathed Monopoly square, “Go to Jail.” Fighting over a game of Monopoly, however, isn’t an uncommon predicament for friends and family. According to a study performed in 2017 by OnlineCasino.ca, nearly 50 percent of the surveyed 1,000 board-game-playing Americans said they fought while playing the game.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com

Authorities say that a 74-year-old woman drove into the lobby of a Massachusetts funeral home Saturday while a service was underway. No one inside the funeral home was hurt. Sergeant Mark Foley said Police and firefighters were called to the Waring-Sullivan Home of Memorial Tribute in Swansea around 8:50 a.m. The Fall River woman had just dropped off someone at the funeral home and was going to back into a parking space. The sergeant said that it appears the woman mistook the gas for the brake and accelerated over a curb. The woman then struck a column outside the building. Foley said the car continued to accelerate through the funeral home’s front doors and into the lobby. Two people were near the lobby but were able to escape injury. Other people were attending a service were in a different part of the building. The car struck a gas fireplace, causing a pipe to break. Authorities shut off gas to the building. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries. The crash remains under investigation. (https://bit.ly/2S0RGEg)
