A collection of strange situations from around the world
NYC bank robber pulls off heist armed with flowers
NEW YORK — New York City police are seeking a bank robber who's armed with a bouquet of fresh flowers. The suspect strolled into a Manhattan bank last week while carrying the flowers. Police say he reached into the arrangement, pulled out a threatening note and handed it to a teller.
The note demanded $100 and $50 bills and warned, "Don't be a hero."
He was given an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing.
Police released a security photo on Monday of the man showing him standing at a counter while clutching the bouquet.
Man who just wanted a hug punches a man, lands in jail
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Police arrested a man who they said punched another man who refused to hug him. Iowa City police responded to a report of someone being aggressive and punching cars Sunday night. The suspect, a 23-year-old man, told
police he became upset after he tried to hug a man and was pushed away.
Police said the man punched and dented the hood of a car before punching the man he tried to hug.
Police said the man had a blood-alcohol content of .086. He was charged with simple assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief, a serious misdemeanor.
BOSTON — It turns out that some of Massachusetts' greatest places aren't so great after all.
Mass.releases 'great places' list — with a few errors
To promote tourism, the Legislature last week released a list of the state's top 1,000 attractions.
But the Boston Herald reports that some sites don't exist any more, some are closed to the public and some are listed in the wrong towns. The list also actually has 996 places.
The list includes the Baker Robinson Whale Oil Refinery in New Bedford, which has been gutted to make way for a hotel; and Worcester's African Cultural Center and Ashland State Park, both of which are closed.
Tourism officials acknowledge some mistakes and say they did their best.
St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Pittsfield was closed by the Springfield Diocese two years ago.
Ohio to test Chia Pet-like sound wall on state highway
CLEVELAND — Ohio plans to build a sound barrier made out of soil and plants in the state's first eco-friendly attempt at muffling highway noise.
A spokesman for the state transportation department says the 12-foot high wall will be like a Chia Pet. Workers will water bags filled with soil and seeds and watch it grow.
The transportation department says the noise wall will be built this fall. It will span 400 feet along a west-bound stretch of Interstate 70 near Columbus.
Wisconsin tried a similar idea. It built a sound wall made out of plastic forms filled with soil and plants, but removed it in 1996 after part of the barrier collapsed and weeds spread.
