How did it get through TSA?
A cargo jet had to turn around mid flight because a horse escaped its stall while in the air.
The jet was going to Belgium from New York. However, it didn’t make it to Belgium because it had to return to the JFK Airport in New York so they could secure the horse again in its stall.
There is no more information that has been released.
Even the bears are crazy in Florida
Kids weren’t the only ones going trick or treating on Halloween night. In Florida, a bear decided it wanted candy as well.
In a suburban area about 50 miles from Orlando, a house was passing out candy and had a bowl on the porch for trick or treaters to get some candy. With the bowl being by itself on the porch, the bear took advantage of a chase to get some candy as well.
The bear was spotted by parents and children. No one was hurt.
Who tailgates for a practice?
Three Los Alamos Public Schools’ coaches and a county sheriff’s deputy were charged after prosecutors said they drank alcohol while on school grounds during an evening sport practice.
According to court documents filed in Los Alamos Magistrate Court, Sheriff Jason Wardlow-Hererra, head coach Joseph Palmer and assistant coaches Bianca Enriquez and Natalie Passalacqua all possessed and consumed alcohol in public buildings on a Los Alamos campus.
Court records say the assistant coaches were drinking in an SUV owned by Wardlow-Herrera during a late-night practice session at the school. Another assistant coach saw alcohol in the car.
The assistant coach said the police drink was poured into the coach’s cup. The assistant coach also told police that the sheriff left and returned with more alcohol. Court records say the sheriff returned with bourbon, vodka and tequila.
Court records show the group continued drinking throughout the night. However, court documents do not specify whether the sheriff consumed alcohol on campus.
The police chief, head coach and two assistant coaches were charged with drinking or possessing alcoholic beverages on school grounds.
This bird will show you the beauty within
The Australasian crested grebe, also known as the “weird puking bird,” has won New Zealand’s Bird of the Century beauty contest after a global campaign by British comedian John Oliver.
Oliver’s meddling and so-called “fowl play” has upset many in the bird-proud nation. He urged viewers to back the species, which is known for eating its own feathers to trigger its gag reflex and throw up parasites.
The competition had over 350,000 votes sent from almost every nation on the planet, smashing the previous record of 56,000. However, organizers were forced to discard tens of thousands of suspect votes, including 40,000 cast by a single person for a penguin.
The contest has a history of controversy, with past polls plagued by suspicious numbers of Russian votes and accusations of rigging. The kakapo, a chubby flightless parrot, was disqualified from last year’s competition because it had already won too many times.
The puteketeke population has dwindled below 1,000, and their mating ritual involves enticing a potential mate with weeds dangling from their beaks before chest bumping them and engaging in a “growling cat display.”
Tumbleweed crossing ahead
A huge tumbleweed–about as big as a Volkswagen car–was seen rolling down a road in California the week of Nov. 24.
Tumbleweeds are not just one kind of plant. They are a group of weeds that break off at the root when they are dry to spread their seeds.
The video of the brown bundle of brush was shared on X, which used to be called Twitter. Many people liked it and said it looked like a big hair ball.
The person who made the video didn’t say much about the bouncing dead plant; they just called it “the biggest tumbleweed. “
It’s not only cowboys and old Western movies that have tumbleweeds, and they can cover roads and neighborhoods.
