Students were punished for taunting a moose in Alaska. They caused it to panic so much it threw itself into a wall repeatedly causing its death.
What amazes me is: has anyone ever seen how big moose are? They're HUGE. I would be too scared to taunt them
And yes, it has been a slow weird news day.

Underwires do more than add support
A Detroit woman looked out her window during a break-in at the apartment next door. One of the suspects shot at her. The bullet shatted her window and then bounced off the underwire of her bra. It never broke the skin.
It reminds of an article published a while back where a woman's breast implants stopped a bullet from entering her heart. Incredible.
So, if you wear bras, always wear an underwire: it will provide support and deflect bullets.

Keep the window closed....
Near Memphis, Tenn., screams and two gunshots caused a neighbor to phone the police. Six police cars responded only to find.....an open window and extremely loud television.
Atleast they have a concerned neighbor.

Open displays of tofu love = X-rated
A tofu-fanatic from Colorado was denied a vanity plate.
The plate would have read: ILVTOFU. The DMV decided the letters could be interpretted as profane and denied her request.
Hmmm.... I wonder what they mean.

Searching for Q
James Bond fans: here's your moment. The British spy agency MI5 is searching for a real-life Q.
They need someone to head their research department and man projects ranging from developing counterterrorism technology to tackling a biological or chemical attack.
Candidates should have "world-class scientific expertise and credibility in relevant scientific and technology disciplines, outstanding influencing and communication skills, experience of building an effective network and of creating a high quality team."
If you're British, over age 18, and interested, please visit the MI5's website.
So far, there are no salary descriptions for the position. However, I would imagine world-class scientist could make a pretty penny.

Simply, a Miracle
What should have been a murder-suicide turned out to be just a suicide. A man shot his wife in the head and went out to the back porch and shot himself.
His wife woke up, made herself tea, and when police arrived was holding a towel to her head and offered tea to the police. The bullet went through her forehead and exited the back of her skull without causing any major damage. She only spent three days in the hospital.
It definitely was not her time to go. This is by far one of the most incredible stories I have ever read.

Python Bites Man=Not news, Man Bites Python=Definitely News
A Kenyan man bit a python who was trying to attack him. The snake coiled around his body and even dragged him up a tree. However, after biting the python, he was able to grab his cell phone and call for help.
Weird.
Weird.

Oh, the Irony
In a city in Washington State, the source of pollution in a nearby creek was discovered; it's the local environmental agency.
The office's sewage drain was mistakenly connected to a storm drain that ran right into the creek. The director of the agency said it was "embarassing and upsetting."
I had never given it much thought before, but I wonder how much pollution and energy all the environmental offices across the nation consume. Maybe they should calculate their carbon footprint. Something to consider....

That's a lot of lip gloss...
$1,200 worth of lipgloss is missing from a Victoria's Secret in New York.
Someone managed to take off with 74 tubes of "Beauty Rush" lip gloss. The sad thing is tens of thousands of dollars of lingerie has already been stolen.
Number one, if anyone has ever been into Victoria's Secret, they know that the lip gloss is always by the register. What were those ladies doing?
Number two, why on earth were there 74 tubes displayed in the first place?
Number three, why would anyone ever need that much lipgloss?

Anything can be summoned
An African Gray parrot was summoned to court recently.
The dispute is over who is its real owner. The bird flew away from the home of one lady 3 years ago and landed at the home of another woman. The two ladies met by chance, and the first lady (the original owner) wanted the bird back. However, the second lady felt that the bird was too attached and shouldn't be returned. So, lady 1 filed a lawsuit, and the courts returned her bird.
It just goes to show, nothing is safe from a courts summons and you can file a lawsuit over ANYTHING.
