According
to an arrest report, after being placed in shackles due to some
alleged drunken dumb-assery, a Florida collegian told cops that being
restrained “gets me off,” and then requested someone “pinch my
nipples.” Cops allege that Joseph Lancaster, a 22-year-old
University of South Florida student, caused a disturbance early
Sunday after refusing to pay an $820 bill at a St. Petersburg
nightspot. After Lancaster argued with security guards, his friends
stepped in and paid the bar tab. Lancaster, stumbling and slurring
his words, then began shouting, “I am sorry none of you graduated
high school, but f--k you.” A report states that when a police
transport van arrived, Lancaster “even argued with the van driver.”
“The defendant had to be placed in shackles and stated, ‘This
gets me off.’ He also said ‘pinch my nipples.’” Charged with
disorderly intoxication, a misdemeanor, Lancaster was booked into the
county jail. (https://bit.ly/2VkideS)

Men don’t drink hot chocolate. I’m not saying “real men don’t drink hot chocolate” — I’m saying I don’t know any guy who orders hot chocolate at a coffee shop, at a restaurant, or makes it at home. We’ll buy lattes and other special coffees, but we’re not drinking hot chocolates.
'Tis the season for decorative and festive poinsettias. But whatever you do, don’t accidentally ingest part of one or you’re in big trouble. Right? Nope… that’s a myth. Poinsettias are not poisonous, contrary to popular belief. The belief that they are poisonous originally seems to have started around 1919 when a two-year-old child died after supposedly eating poinsettia leaves. The poinsettia leaves were blamed for the death, even though there was never any actual evidence that the poinsettia leaves had anything to do with the child dying, according to The American Society of Florists, which looked into the matter at the time. Since then, there haven’t been any other deaths related to ingesting poinsettia leaves. In fact, experts say a 50 pound child would need to eat 500-600 poinsettia leaves to suffer any sort of serious ill effects from the plant. Further research into this matter was done by the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Melon University, studying just under 23,000 poinsettia related reports to poison control centers across the United States. Not a single one of these reports showed evidence of any actual toxicity from exposure or ingestion of the plant. And finally, the Poison Control Center has this: “The poinsettia plant is often considered deadly. That’s wrong. Poinsettia can be irritating but it is not fatal if eaten. If children and pets eat it, they can develop a mouth rash and stomach upset. The sap can cause a skin rash, too.”

CHINA
In
China the parents of a 16-year-old reported what they thought was her
kidnapping after she had gone missing. The shaken parents said the
alleged kidnapper had sent a text to the girl’s cousin demanding
$7,820 and an iPhone as ransom. But police became suspicious when the
cousin received another text message pushing for the iPhone but
reducing the cash demand to $75. Officers arranged a meeting place
with the alleged kidnappers but were instead met by the 16-year-old,
who admitted she that she orchestrated the hoax because her parents
would not buy her an iPhone.

A Clearwater, Florida man’s “family tradition” of defrosting a Thanksgiving turkey got a lot of attention on Facebook this year. Mark O’Donnell filmed a Facebook Live of his family plopping a sixteen-pound turkey into their swimming pool to defrost. He said the tradition has existed for eighteen years. “We thaw our turkey in the pool,” he says in the video. “That’s what you do when you live in Florida, right?” O’Donnell said he checks several times for any leaks before tossing into the chlorinated pool.

A
droopy-drawered fighter didn’t let losing his pants stop him from
wrestling his adversary in a minutes-long caught-on-camera
gas-station brawl. Video shot in a Wawa in — where else? —
Florida shows the bedraggled boxer with his sweatpants around his
ankles wailing on his rival in a reflective vest. The video, posted
online last Monday, captures one man with a safety vest repeatedly
punching another man, who is on the ground with his sweatpants around
his thighs. “Gentlemen, gentlemen please,” an employee can be
heard saying. The brawl goes on for so long that the man filming the
incident convinces the fighters to pause while grappling so he can
pay for something at the register. It was unclear what sparked the
fight. The half-naked man eventually pulls up his pants and scurries
out of the convenience store.(https://bit.ly/2KS07yT)
