@rosborne979,
My favorite non-news part was the headline writer saying the "man was preparing to eat a dead squirrel."

Try to a live one, buddy, they are hell on wheels about that.

Funny, Joe.

Another oddity.

The winner of an insect-eating contest in South Florida collapsed and died shortly after downing dozens of live cockroaches and worms.

6:44AM BST 09 Oct 2012

About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released on Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches.

"Some people do have allergies to roaches," he said, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."

Now, the humor.

I saw the insect eating story. Repulsive idea to me. La Cucaracha is appropriate.

Officials said they would be willing to pay for all the funeral expenses, but only if he was buried in a glass coffin surrounded by noodles and potato chips.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A man who prompted an evacuation of the main terminal at Anchorage’s largest airport by making comments about a bomb, which he later said were jokes, has been charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.

Peter Friesema (FREEZE’-em-uh) was arrested early Sunday by police at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.

Airport manager John Parrott says Friesema was jailed at the Anchorage Correctional Complex with bail set at $5,000.

The evacuation happened early Sunday a little after midnight. The terminal was reopened about three hours later after it became clear there was no threat.

@Lustig Andrei,
Saw the same thing in a grocery store one night. The power failed for a few minutes, during which a man joked, "This is a holdup." He spent at least a night behind bars.

Good detective work. It does makes a heck of a lot less sense now.

Texas caveman

"A half-naked man living in a cave in a canyon outside El Paso, Texas, scared a group of hikers on Sunday when they say he jumped out of the cave and chased them away.

Residents of an apartment complex at the foot of McKelligon Canyon say the man has been living in the cave for about three years. He has been spotted bathing in their laundry room and working out on a jungle gym. Some suspect he's been stealing their clothes..."

Maybe they shouldn't have been displayed at the Stealing Emporium.

I remember when a variant of that statue was outside the Lever House skyscraper on Park Avenue.

@tsarstepan,
Isn't it still there?

I particularly like the big fat naked man and woman at the Shops at Columbus Circle. The tourists, I'm sure it was them, have polished a certain portion of the Male statue's anatomy.
