The Toe Tickler
A “serial tickler” is on the loose in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The man breaks into college students’ homes and tickles the toes of the sleeping residents and he’s been at large for two years. He doesn’t steal anything after breaking and entering – except a good night’s sleep.
“Do’h” a Deer
Many of us have had to slow down while driving in order to miss hitting a lollygagging fawn and a few of us have had the misfortune of barreling into the poor creatures, but not many can say their car was jumped by a deer. One Illinois family, while driving 70 mpg on a tollway, had a 200 lbs. doe land on the top of their car.

A Twist of Faith
Imagine despising the Wolverines your entire life only to find out you, yourself, are from the state that will not be named? In a much more serious sense, this was the fate of Csanad Szegedi. Szegedi is the leader of an anti-Semitic political party in Hungary and he recently found out that he, himself, is Jewish.
