Sweet-Tooth Stoners

Medical marijuana, in the form of candy, was confiscated during a drug bust in southwest Missouri.  Barry County Sheriff Mike Epperly said this was the first time he has seen candy laced with THC in his jurisdiction.  Authorities believe the drugs were being shipped in from Colorado to Cassville, Missouri.  Sheriff Epperly warned local parents about this situation possibly interfering with Halloween.  He asks all parents to check labels before their children consume any candy, because the confiscated drugs were in packages with the amount of THC in bold print in plain view.  Medical professionals advice parents to contact poison control if their child has consumed any edible forms of these drugs.  Nausea and abnormal heart rates can be a side affect of young children consuming the marijuana laced candy.  No immediate health risks or reports have been documented yet.

Sacramento Queens have won the heart of The Big Aristotle

It's funny how quickly Shaquille O'Neal will change his mind about various NBA franchises.  From Superman, to The Big Shaqtus, to The Big Shamrock, this poor excuse for a loyal team member once made his mark on six different teams throughout his career.  Now 41, Shaquille has made some impressive moves off of the court.  Achieving multiple degrees and attending more than one university, after he had left a professional sports life, is only the tip of the ice berg.  In his most recent step towards being one of the most well-rounded men in sports history, Shaquille has decided to become a member of the Sacramento Kings Ownership Group.  And let me remind you, these are the same Sacramento Kings who Shaq had beaten up on for years in the western conference, the same Kings that were involved with Vlade Divac, a player who Shaq enjoyed picking on and insulting.  Mr. O'Neal may not have the strongest team spirit, but he sure does love his name on stuff.

Real Life "Project X"?

In Albany, New York, some 400 teenagers allegedly broke into ex-NFL player Brian Holloway's to throw a party.  The partiers are responsible for $20,000 worth of damage, estimated by Holloway.  Twitter was supposedly how word spread about this extravaganza.  Brian Holloway's son was mentioned in a tweet by a random party attender.  Live pictures were being uploaded to Twitter, as the Holloway family, in their Florida home at the time, watched in amazement as the Albany vacation home was ransacked by the revolt of local youth.  Before the Holloway's could call the authorities in the Albany area, a concerned neighbor had done just that.  Teens scattered across the 200 acre property, leaving their beer kegs, liquor bottles, and drug paraphernalia behind.  No arrests have been made at this time, but using images posted to social media, individuals at the party are being identified.

American Flag Burning in South Carolina

Yesterday morning at about 2:00 am, 17 year old Nick Newell was caught on St. James High School's security tapes.  The student was dressed in dark clothes and was wearing a gas mask to hide his identity.  Charred remains of several American flags were found at 6:00 am that same morning but custodians.  The school was locked down and students were not admitted to classes.  An arson investigator and the Horry County bomb squad came to the school, for precautionary reasons only.  Newell was arrested at his home later that afternoon, charged with third-degree arson.  Motives for this unpatriotic act remain unknown.

Eli Erickson--Mummified body found in German attic

After an excursion in North Africa, sometime in the 1950's, it was thought possible that the father of Lutz-Wolfgang Kettler brought back quite the souvenir.  The travelers 10 year old grandson discovered a perfectly preserved mummy in the attic of his grandparent's home.  Local police and forensics experts are baffled at what lays under the 20th century clothes that said mummy was wrapped in.  The 4' 8" skeleton of an unknown gender is covered with a thin layer of an unnamed metal.  Unwrapping of this mummy has yet to happen, taking into consideration of the possible damages that may occur.  Although Andreas Nerlich, of Munich's Bogenhausen hosptial, believes the mummy to be a fake, further investigation will be delayed until proper tests are done to determine the age of the bones.
