Police in China stopped a driver during a drunk driving check. When they determined he had been drinking, the man fled, jumped into a nearby river and crawled into a sewer line. A total 34 rescue workers sent in to fish out the guy. Police said the man played “hide-and-seek” with rescuers for six hours. They listened for his movements and tried to catch him by popping up manhole covers. The man was eventually cornered and captured. By the time rescuers pulled him up the man was unconscious from the fumes in the sewer.

If someone near you yawns, do you yawn, too? About half of adults yawn after someone else does in a phenomenon called contagious yawning. A study found that most children aren’t susceptible to contagious yawning until they’re about 4 years old — and that children with autism are less likely to yawn contagiously than others.

Ever wondered if your dog is right- or left-pawed? A study out of Australia found 15 percent of dogs are lefties. Why does it matter? Scientists examined whether being left-pawed, right-pawed or ambidextrous indicates an animal’s suitability for a career in law enforcement, or as a guide dog for the blind. The study built on research that found a dog without a preference to use a left or right front paw is more likely to be upset by fireworks and thunderstorms.

A lucky hamster in Russia was rescued by veterinarians after it was swallowed alive by the family dog. A young girl was playing with her hamster when it jumped from her knee and the dog pounced and swallowed the critter in one gulp. The family could hear the hamster squeaking from inside the dog, so they knew it was still alive. The dog was rushed to the vet and the hamster was removed, unconscious, but alive.

An Ontario teenager has been arrested after allegedly stealing $46 million from one person in a massive cryptocurrency scam in the United States. According to police, the victim had been targeted by a SIM swap attack, a method of manipulating cellular network carriers so scammers can intercept two-factor authentication requests. "The joint investigation revealed that some of the stolen cryptocurrency was used to purchase an online username that was considered to be rare in the gaming community,” police said in a statement. "This transaction led investigators to uncover the account holder of the rare username." A Hamilton youth was arrested in mid-2020 in connection with the incident for theft over $5,000 and possession of property or proceeds of property obtained by crime. The age of the suspect has not been released by investigators. Investigators said this is the largest cryptocurrency scam involving one person in Canadian history. As the case makes its way through the courts, Hamilton police are asking the public to be vigilant in the security of their funds, whether they are held in crypto or centralized currency.(https://bit.ly/3CoYJsp)

Women who drink just two soft drinks a day are more likely to develop heart disease. According to a study of over 4,000 women, those who regularly consume sugary soft drinks are more prone to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and expanding waistlines.

Tailgates are a major part of North American athletic culture, especially at college football games. Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a recent Facebook apology that she had too much fun tailgating at the recent football game between Michigan State University and the University of Michigan. She volunteered an apology on the social media outlet, referring to the incident as “TAILGATE-GATE”: “Before the big game, I attended a tailgate on an empty stomach. Much to my surprise, MSU tailgate’s tend to have more alcohol than food, so I thought it seemed like a good idea to eat 2 Bloody Mary’s, since as long as you put enough vegetables in them, it’s practically a salad. As it turned out, this was not a brilliant idea. Also, I might be a terrible bartender. I proceeded to go to the game (which I’m told Michigan definitely won!) and started to feel ill. I laid low for a while, but my friends recommended that I leave so as to prevent me from vomiting on any of my constituents (polling consistently shows “Roman showers” to be unpopular among most demographics).” Nessel later said she was moved through the parking lot in a wheelchair to avoid falling. She then got into a vehicle with her designated driver who escorted her home, where her wife supplied her with Tylenol and water in anticipation of a “skull-crushing hangover” the next day. Nessel concluded: “I am human. Sometimes I screw up. This was definitely one of those times. My apologies to the entire state of Michigan for this mishap, but especially that Michigan fan sitting behind me. Some things you can’t un-see. … Sorry to all the people who have supported me for letting you down. I will try to do better.”

A possum has been released without charge after it held a woman “hostage” at her home. New Zealand police received a call late on Sunday night from a distressed woman who said “a possum was holding her hostage” at her home. When she would exit her house and attempt to reach her car, the possum would charge at her and she would flee inside. When the police arrived and approached the front door, a juvenile possum came out of the dark and climbed an officer’s leg. The officer suspected it was either an escaped pet or had recently been separated from its mother.

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs revoked a Garden City woman's day care license after an investigation revealed a child put another child in a clothes dryer and turned it on while under her supervision, and she didn't tell the child's parents. "It was critical to take emergency action to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the children at this family child care home," LARA said in a news release. According to LARA, the woman brought the child, described only as a Minor Household Member 1 (MHM 1), to the hospital on Aug. 4 because she was "stressed out" because MHM 1 had put another child in the clothes dryer and turned it on. MHM 1 later admitted to a nurse and social worker that she did put another child in the dryer and turn it on. Later, the child who was in the dryer told her mother about it and said it was “hot, and it was dark and hurt my back." According to the report, the woman never told the child's parents or LARA about the incident, and then proceeded to lie about it during the investigation process. LARA's investigation found violations under the Child Care Organizations act, and, as of Nov. 3, the woman's license has been revoked. She is no longer allowed to operate a day care and must inform all parents of children in her care about her license suspension.

Violations include, but are not limited to:

Lack of appropriate care and supervision

Household member's suitability and conduciveness to the welfare of children

Failure to provide truthful and accurate information to the department during an investigation (https://bit.ly/3Drbjc6)

A Broward County woman faces charges after authorities detained her for attempting to smuggle 56 guns across the Michigan-Canada border. 48-year-old Vivian Richards was arrested after her car was sent to secondary examination at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Point Edward, Ontario. “The Canada Border Services Agency is the first line of defense for our country,” Marco E. L. Mendicino, minister of public safety said. “The smuggling of firearms is a threat to public safety, and this seizure is an example of our steadfast commitment to preventing dangerous criminal activities and keeping Canadians safe.” During the examination, CBSA officers said the seized items were discovered in boxes in the trunk of the car. They found “56 undeclared prohibited firearms, 13 over-capacity magazines, 43 ten-round pistol magazines and 100 rounds of ammunition.” Richards faces multiple charges, including attempt to smuggle, evading compliance, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon or restricted weapon, possession for the purpose of weapons trafficking and possession of a firearm knowing that the serial number on it has been altered, defaced or removed, among others.(https://bit.ly/3qWR16I)

A 39-year-old defense attorney in Pittsburgh named Daniel Muessig went viral in 2014 for an ad where he claimed he could "think like a criminal." And this week, he admitted in court that he actually is one. The ad he made was ridiculous. He claimed to know the legal system inside and out . . . called laws "stupid" and "arbitrary" . . . said he can "think like a criminal" and has lots of "street knowledge" . . . and joked that he visits his friends in jail all the time. He won't have to visit anymore though, because he got indicted over the summer for selling hundreds of pounds of marijuana. The guys he was working for were selling drugs a lot more dangerous than marijuana. Back in 2019, cops tapped a drug dealer's phone, and the sting operation revealed Daniel was helping them operate a stash house. Prosecutors say he helped distribute and sell 200 to 900 pounds of marijuana. They also caught him with around $400,000 in drug money. He took a deal and pled guilty on Tuesday. He'll be sentenced in March and faces at least five years in prison. He'll also be a felon, so he can't practice law anymore. (https://bit.ly/3x0pcLN)

Police in a Chicago suburb are looking for a group of thieves who allegedly stole $100,000 from a luxury store in a shopping center on Wednesday afternoon. The alleged criminals casually walked into a Louis Vuitton store at the Oakbrook Center west of Chicago a few people at a time after the armed guard went on a short break. After all fourteen had entered the store they suddenly started grabbing everything they could take with them. The guard returned and tried to stop them but they got away. Oak Brook Police said they have vehicle and license information on the suspects. “We’re nailing down all those leads now, our detectives are out working those leads,” Oak Brook Police Chief James Kruger told reporters. Last month, thieves allegedly stole thousands of dollars in purses from a Bottega Veneta store near Chicago’s Magnificent Mile and last Friday robbers allegedly took around $15,000 in cologne from an ULTA beauty store in Oak Brook, the Chicago Tribune reported.

A local Walmart shopper faces the potential loss of her license to carry a firearm, after the gun in her purse ‘misfired’ while she was in the checkout line at a Walmart in Northborough. It happened at the Walmart on Otis Street on Monday night. Police responded after they “received a report of an accidental misfiring of a weapon.” No one inside the store was hurt and police say “the projectile was recovered from the floor.” The gun owner, a 31-year-old woman from Worcester told police she mistakenly fired her 9mm handgun, while digging through her purse at the cashier. Investigators say “the licensing authority was notified for purposes of review and possible revocation” and the appropriate state agency was notified since the woman’s toddler was with her. The woman will be charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of an occupied building.(https://bit.ly/3noWUHJ)

Las Vegas police said a man tried to skip out on a $4,000 restaurant bill then made a bomb threat at the Bellagio. According to the arrest report for Gregg Cohen, officers were called to the Las Vegas Strip property about 3:30 p.m. on November 12th When officers arrived, casino security told them Cohen had been eating and drinking in Spago, a restaurant in the casino, and had a bill of $4,312.75. He reportedly got up and left, saying he was using the restroom. According to the restaurant's manager, Cohen had ordered seafood and a bottle of Dom Perignon, then socialized with women nearby and bought them champagne. The manager then said he saw Cohen at a table game. Cohen was asked to return to the restaurant to pay the bill. The report says Cohen then stated he had $10,000 to pay, but then emptied his pockets and had no money. He was then taken into security custody. While waiting for police to arrive, security said Cohen said, "I bet if there was a bomb, they'd get here really fast." When asked directly if he placed a bomb in the casino, Cohen reportedly said, "There is a bomb," then repeated the word "bomb" multiple times. Court records show Cohen is charged with communicating a bomb threat, theft, and defrauding a proprietor. He's expected back in court on December 1st. (https://bit.ly/3kY7TGq)

A stolen SUV careened through a Durham neighborhood over the weekend before taking out the porch of a home and turning a traffic sign into a spear that impaled itself in a second-floor bedroom. John Bray and his wife, Marissa Minnick, were awakened at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday by the crash, which they said sounded different from those they usually hear in their neighborhood. The SUV, which police told the couple had been stolen a half-hour earlier from a downtown Durham apartment complex, snapped a tree in half, took out part of their fence, demolished some raised garden beds and sideswiped their car. It hit the porch with such velocity that it knocked out a brick support column and left a crack in the home's foundation on the back side of the house. As they surveyed the damage, Bray and Minnick noticed a traffic sign hanging from the second story of their home. It was only when they went back inside that they realized how close the sign came to injuring them as they slept. The sign's metal post crashed through the siding into a bathroom and then through an interior wall into their bedroom, ending up near their bed. (https://bit.ly/31WrhwS)

THIS LIBRARY LETS YOU BORROW PEOPLE INSTEAD OF BOOKS

On a rainy spring morning in Muncie, Indiana, a White, middle-aged, conservative woman met a transgender woman for a date. It did not start well. The transgender woman was waiting at a table when the other woman showed up. She stood up and extended her hand. The other woman refused to take it. “I want you to know I’m a conservative Christian,” she said, still standing. The transgender woman replied, “I’m a liberal Christian. Let’s talk.” Their rendezvous was supposed to last about 30 minutes. But the conversation was so engrossing for both that it lasted an hour. It ended with the conservative woman rising from her seat to give the other woman a hug.

This improbable meeting came courtesy of the Human Library, a nonprofit learning platform that allows people to borrow people instead of books. But not just any people. Every “human book” from this library represents a group that faces prejudice or stigmas because of their lifestyle, ethnicity, beliefs, or disability. A human book can be an alcoholic, for example, or a Muslim, or a homeless person, or someone who was sexually abused.

The Human Library was created 21 years ago by Ronni Abergel, a Danish human rights activist and journalist who became interested in non-violence activism after a friend he describes as a “troubled youth” survived a stabbing in Copenhagen.

You can sign up to be a Human Library Book at www.humanlibrary.org
