ODD NEWS Pipe-bomb-stuffed chicken coos local police
SIMSBURY, Conn. — Authorities in Connecticut are wondering who stuffed a raw roasting chicken with a pipe bomb and left it on a roadside.
Simsbury police Capt. Matthew Catania said a motorist noticed the chicken Friday morning. He said the bomb was large enough to harm a person if it went off.
Nobody was injured. No arrests had been made Monday night.
The road was closed while the Hartford Police Department's bomb squad came and blew up the chicken.
Jurors distract with Sudoku, puzzle judge
SYDNEY, Australia — A judge halted a drug conspiracy trial Tuesday after some jurors were found to have been playing the puzzle game Sudoku while evidence was being given.
Sydney District Court Judge Peter Zahra ended the trial Tuesday for two men facing a possible life sentence for drug conspiracy charges.The trial had been running for 66 days and had cost taxpayers an estimated $950,000.
The judge was alerted after jurors were observed writing vertically, rather than horizontally. It had been assumed they were taking notes.
"Yes, it helps me keep my mind busy paying more attention;" the jury foreman told the judge Tuesday. "Some of the evidence is rather drawn out and I find it difficult to maintain my attention the whole time, and that doesn't distract me too much from proceedings."
Man gives up old outhouse holds out for sturdier one
BATAVIA, Ohio — An ailing, retired farmer who refused to give up his outhouse after authorities declared it to be a public nuisance finally got a new one.
Elbert "Lew" Preston, 79 stood his ground long enough for a nonprofit group to come to his aid and build him a sturdy new outhouse with a waste tank underneath.
"There she is," Preston said as he showed off the new outbuilding. "She's a lifesaver."
