The book chronicles the exploits of a ragtag unit of Arabic-speaking Jewish spies, assembled by the British during World War II, who would go undercover in the battle for Israeli statehood.

A Florida Man known as “Mr. Perfect” is in jail for literally battering a female victim. Cops charge that 45-year-old Dwayne Zimmerman was intoxicated late Friday night when he insulted the victim, who was on the porch of Zimmerman’s mobile home preparing to make pancakes for dinner. Cops say that after Zimmerman flung a cooking pan, he picked up a bowl filled with pancake batter and threw it at the victim. The bowl shattered, with its contents landing in the woman’s hair and on her clothing. Batter also caked portions of the screened-in porch. Zimmerman was arrested at the scene on a felony battery charge. He was booked into the Hernando County jail early Saturday morning and remains locked up in lieu of $2000 bond. A judge has ordered Zimmerman to have no contact with the victim. (https://bit.ly/2TiHym5)

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A naked man has reportedly been arrested in Moscow after trying to board a plane while shouting about how clothes made him less agile and aerodynamic. Eyewitnesses said the would-be passenger passed through checks at Domodedovo Airport before suddenly taking off all his clothes and running on to the jet bridge, which connects airport terminals to planes. A witness told Russian channel REN TV, “He shouted that he was naked because clothing impairs the aerodynamics of the body. He flies with more agility when undressed.” Airport staff prevented the man from boarding his flight to Crimea and he was later detained by police officers. A video released after the man’s arrest showed him sitting on the ground, still naked and surrounded by police officers.

An Idaho Falls man was arrested March 8th after he allegedly demanded money from a car rental company to return a car. 36-year-old Daniel Porter was charged with grand theft for possessing the stolen 2018 GMC Yukon. The Yukon had an estimated value of $48,424. According to the probable cause affidavit, Porter’s sister, Kelly Lucero, rented the car from Enterprise Rental on February 27th, but did not return the vehicle the next day. Lucero left Porter’s number as her contact info, but Porter did not respond when the company called him. Porter called the company on March 6th, saying he knew where the car was. According to the company, Porter said he would only tell them where to find the car if they paid him. The manager explained that would constitute grand theft. Porter told the manager to find the car himself. When the cops caught up with Porter, he admitted to asking for money to tell Enterprise Rental where to find the car. Deputies found drug paraphernalia in the car. He was charged with grand theft, punishable with up to 10 years in prison, and possession of drug paraphernalia, punishable with up to a year in jail.
