Cuz that's appropriate, right?!Brokeback Staircase!A man in Germany successfully argued that he was owed a Workplace Accident Insurance payout for an injury that occurred at his home. The man was walking down his spiral staircase to his desk when he fell and broke his back. Though the case was passed through several courts, the Germany's federal social court ultimately ruled that his fall happened during his “commute” to work and, therefore, was a workplace accident. So… y'all walk careful!You Can't Say Bomb on a Phone!A Florida mom went full-on Mama Bear when her high-school-aged son came home HONGRY. An altercation occurred with the son and the poor lunch lady who wouldn't give him a SECOND lunch. In response, his mom allegedly called in a bomb threat to the school.

Just ask Bruce. Bruce Ferrell had a good run as Police Chief for Wahoo, Nebraska. But not for a pesky body cam, he probably would still have the job. However, once some of his fellow officers discovered evidence of an amorous encounter Bruce had with a citizen who called for help with a domestic situation… and help Bruce did! The ultimate romantic found-footage film, look for Bruce's bodycam love debut to have the cultural importance of The Blair Witch Project. No word yet on a release date. But I'm excited. That's a Nice Boulder!A farmer in Belgium was just trying to plow his field but this huge boulder was in his way. Not to be deterred, he took matters into his own hands to prove that the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Human, the human will win every time. But he didn't realize that by moving the boulder, he'd unwittingly invaded France! The boulder wasn't just a rock. It was a boundary delineation marker that was originally placed in 1819. And it may have gone unnoticed had it not been for a tattle-tale historian who had a habit of walking the boundary line. Luckily, all was settled amicably, and everyone had a good laugh. Probably everyone except the farmer who still has that annoying boulder in his way.What's Next Do you have a crazy news story we should cover? Let us know!

A DRUNK FLORIDA MAN! While Erica unearths the little-known story of the OG swindler Gregor MacGregor, the Prince of Poyais. Never heard of it? Hmmm. Hold My Beer! This Forklift Won't Crash Itself!A few weeks ago, Florida was busy out-Florida-ing itself when a man decided to go to a local bar. After a lot of too many alcoholic beverages, he wisely figured it was time to go home. The problem was that he couldn't find his car. He searched and searched all he could on foot but turned up nothing. So, he naturally realized he could increase the radius of his search if he had a car. Luckily, there were a lot to choose from in the bar parking lot. He “borrowed” one of the cars and took off in search of his own missing vehicle. All was good until the “borrowed” car got stuck on a train track. Sucks, right? You know what sucks even worse? An oncoming train. But that's not where it ends! Take a listen. This story is SO Florida-Meets-The-Hangover. Hey, I'd watch that movie!I'm a Prince, DAMMIT!Waaay back in the 1800's, this thing called the “Internet” didn't exist. And a man named Gregor MacGregor took full advantage of the lack of knowledge sharing capability of the time for his own financial gain. He rose through the ranks of the British military to ultimately become a general. He earned wealth, social status, and (most imperative to his scheme) credibility. But if you know anything about our stories, it's not gonna end well. To solidify his infamy, he created a country from his imagination and convinced TWO COUNTRIES of its existence. He even sold land to unsuspecting Brits and French (frenchies? French people? I have no idea what they're called)! WHAAAT?What's Next Do you have a crazy news story we should cover? Let us know!
