Wait...WHAT happened?!
Flaming rat causes fire at Wash. VFW building
YAKIMA, Wash. — A rat is suspected of starting a fire at the Veterans of Foreign War building in Yakima.
KAPP-TV reports that investigators discovered a rat had chewed through an electrical cord. The rat apparently caught fire and ran to its nest, igniting flammable items.
The fire last week spread quickly through the building, damaging several rooms and war memorabilia.
The fire department says damage could exceed $1 million.
National Hollerin' champs escapes disqualification
SPIVEY'S CORNER, N.C. — A North Carolina man who won the National Hollerin' Contest says he almost disqualified himself by going over the four-minute time limit.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Tony Peacock of Siler City won the 42nd annual contest Saturday in Spivey's Corner in central North Carolina. His hollerin rendition of the popular Gershwin tune "Summertime" got him the title.
Peacock says he had to cut snort his last holler because he had only two seconds left.
The winner of the contest gets bragging rights and opportunities to perform at events and on television.
Festival seeking world record with 2,300 pirates
That's the question this weekend at the fourth annual Northern California Pirate Festival in Vallejo.
VALLEJO, Calif. — Yo-ho-ho, how many pirates can there be?
Festival-goers are seeking to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most costumed pirates in one place. On Saturday, nearly 2,300 pirates had registered. But the festival's official count wouldn't be out until after the event ends Sunday.
Festival spokesperson Shannon Damnavis says each pirate has to wear a red wristband, stand in one place for 10 minutes and be photographed. Guinness then certifies the count.
The current titleholder is Brixham England, where 1,722 costumed pirates were recorded.
Real-life Goldilocks gets probation for break-in
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A blonde, pony-tailed burglar ate some food, drank some alcohol, tried on clothes and then found the bed in a New Zealand home just right.
But upon finding a modern-day Goldilocks asleep in his bed, the homeowner in the southern city of Christchurch exercised an option The Three Bears didn't. He called police.
In court Monday, 39-year-old Vanessa Joy Long pleaded guilty and said she blacked out and doesn't remember what happened June 5. The judge ordered a probation report to see if Long was suitable for home detention and could pay for her misdemeanors.
The damage was estimated at
1,500 New Zealand dollars ($1,064)
She was released on bail for sentence on Sept. 1.
