FUN FACT FOR YOU:Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
One man once survived two atomic bombs. Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived both nuclear attacks to Japan when the U.S. dropped atomic bombs during World War II. Yamaguchi, sent to Hiroshima on business on August 6th, 1945, saw the U.S. drop the first atomic bomb. Miraculously, he survived with burns across his face and arms, but made it home to Nagasaki. Three days later, the second atomic bomb hit, flattening Yamaguchi's home. Because his family was out finding ointments to treat his already existent burns, they were safe in a tunnel and miraculously survived as well.

A New Jersey couple has been arrested for allegedly stealing six golden retriever puppies worth about $5,000. 41-year-old Jennifer Goldthwaite and 20-year-old Christopher Gordon were busted late Saturday after a dog breeder in Pennsylvania told cops that people were trying to enter his property and possibly steal his French bulldog puppies for sale. Responding officers found Goldthwaite in a car outside the breeder’s home, while Gordon was walking up to the vehicle. The man who called police identified the pair as the people who took a look at his young pooches earlier that day. Officers spotted a box inside the car containing six golden retriever puppies. Goldthwaithe insisted the pups belonged to her, but detectives got in touch with local breeders and tracked down the real owner of the dogs — who was unaware they had been dognapped. The pair, who were charged with burglary, theft and criminal conspiracy, have been released from custody after posting $25,000 bail.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

A 23-year-old Texas man arrested for lying about testing positive for the new Coronavirus told investigators he did so as a “social experiment.” Michael Lane Brandin of Woodville, in East Texas, was charged with false alarm or report, a class A misdemeanor. Tyler District Attorney Lucas Babin said Brandin intentionally posted on Facebook that he had tested positive for COVID-19, causing a panic and tying up phone lines at Woodville’s Tyler County Hospital. Brandin allegedly told investigators that he made the post as a ‘social experiment’ to make the point that not everything one reads online can be believed. The district attorney posted earlier this week on Facebook that such claims could be a criminal offense. (https://bit.ly/3bnEZIH)
