ODD NEWS
Woman bites man's ear after being called 'fat'
He told them that he'd been bitten at a party.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Police say a 24-year-old man is missing a chunk of his right ear that was bitten off by a woman who didn't like being called "fat." Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said officers were called to a Lincoln hospital around 3:25 a.m. Wednesday to talk to the injured man.
Flood said officers later learned that the injured man and two others had been arguing with other people at the birthday party. Flood said the man told 21-year-old Anna Godfrey that she was fat.
Officers said Godfrey then tackled the man and took a bite.
Flood said the ear chunk was not found.
Godfrey was arrested on suspicion of felony assault and remained in custody Wednesday. Case records don't yet list her attorney's name.
Barefoot man challenges public places' shoe rules
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man is battling the Ohio Statehouse over the right to bare feet. Bob Neinat said his feet hurt when he wears shoes, so he goes barefoot nearly everywhere, even in winter. The man from the Columbus suburb of Pickerington calls it a healthy lifestyle that makes him feel closer to places he visits.
When he tried to go shoeless in the Ohio capitol recently, he was stopped by an officer who said Neinast was violating the rules.
Officials have since learned that there is no such rule against bare feet in the
Statehouse. Spokesman Gregg Dodd said the Statehouse board is now considering a ban and plans to hold a public hearing.
Neinast previously lost a lawsuit against the Columbus public library's no-bare-feet policy.
Teen discovers TNT shell while mowing the lawn
HOOPER, Utah — A 17-year-old Utah boy mowing the lawn at his home in Hooper ran into a canister of TNT that may date back as far as World War II. Taylor Wood was mowing the pasture behind the family home on Sunday and heard a thud. He then saw a canister that said "TNT shell" on the side.
His mother, Charise Wood, described the canister as looking like a small can of tomato paste. She quickly called emergency crews.
Charise Wood said the family has lived in the home for seven years but had never mowed that area of pasture because they had let horses eat down the grass. Now the family has goats that aren't interested in that area.
The Weber County sheriff's department took the canister for disposal.
Armed robber masks face using only toilet paper
LINCOLN, Neb. — A man who concealed his face by wrapping his head with toilet paper robbed a Lincoln convenience store. Police said the man was armed with a knife when he robbed the store around 10:30 on Saturday night. He escaped on foot with an undisclosed amount of money from the safe.
