A study (University of Chicago) polled married people and found that, on average, it took them just 172 days to decide that they wanted to get hitched. That’s about six months — and it’s less time, researchers found, than most people estimate they’ll need before making that big call. Surveyed singles told the researchers that they’d need about 210 days to make up their minds about their potential suitors.

“And
the cocaine,” a Florida man hinted, as he was being loaded into the
back of a Collier County Sheriff’s patrol car. Deputies asked him
to clarify. “I have cocaine in my butt,” 56-year-old Mustapha
Ouardi answered. Ouardi had called 9-1-1 three times early last
Wednesday morning from a McDonald’s— he said they had gotten “his
burger order wrong twice.” When deputies arrived at the McDonald’s,
employees said Ouardi had been yelling and cursing at staff over his
mistaken order, and they wanted him taken from the premises. The
deputy escorted the disgruntled customer from the burger joint. Upon
searching his pockets, the deputy found marijuana folded into a
napkin. While he was being placed into the patrol car, he then
admitted to having another drug tucked away. He is facing charges for
trespass of a structure or conveyance, marijuana possession not more
than 20 grams, and resisting law enforcement without violence.

The sugar comes in the form of juices, soft drinks, cookies, breakfast cereals, desserts, etc. Experts say a five year old shouldn’t have more than 19 grams of sugar per day — that’s five cubes.

In Spain, a burglar fell asleep in front of the TV after eating several plates of food in an apartment he had broken into. The owner of the apartment returned home to find the man asleep on a sofa with the TV on.

A
man was arrested Wednesday near Tokyo for allegedly forging and
sending out dozens of special popsicle sticks to an ice cream
manufacturer so they could be redeemed for popular Pokémon cards by
the company. 43-year-old Takashi Ono is suspected of attempting fraud
after he sent twenty-five fake popsicle sticks in November last year
to confectioner Akagi Nyugyo Co. The company ran a competition last
year in which people could send in rare lucky sticks from its popular
popsicle brand Garigarikun in exchange for Pokémon game cards
created for the event. The limited sticks were engraved with the
words “You win a Gari-Pokemon card,” which could only be seen
after consuming the ice cream. Akagi Nyugyo contacted the police
after receiving multiple lucky popsicle sticks from what was believed
to be one person. The ice cream manufacturer has warned consumers of
the possibility that “fake lucky popsicle sticks are being sold”
online. (https://bit.ly/3buFHHB)

OF DUH: Brought

A Michigan family is happy to have their sweet puppy back home after what was supposed to be an ordinary delivery ended in heartbreak. Ashley Swinton was simply expecting a food delivery to her home from DoorDash. According to the news outlet, when the individual went to make the delivery, she left with the family's 8-week-old puppy named Bella. The woman was caught on camera taking the dog. “The video evidence, in this case, is very compelling,” said Detective Brian Price with Warren police. “This is a new one even for me. Pretty shocking when you watch the video and see it happen right in front of you.” “You can see her pet the dog, and rub the dog seeing if it was vicious," Swinton told WXYZ. "Then scoop the dog up and take the dog to her car.” Police found the 26-year-old, who has not been identified yet. Charges are expected.(https://bit.ly/3sdkKXu)
