In Fall River Massachusetts, A 35-year-old man was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment of a child after he locked his two sons in the trunk of his Pontiac Trans Am while he picked up a few items at his local sailing shop. The man told authorities that both his 3-year-old and 6-year-old sons liked to play in the trunk, although witnesses say the man locked his children in the trunk so he could run a quick errand. The man was released on cash bail and the children are currently in the custody of their mother.
In Brussels, doctors equipped with a highly advanced brain scanner discovered that a 46-year-old man who was thought to be in a vegetative state for over 23 years has actually been conscious the entire time. The man had become a prisoner in his own body after a near fatal car accident and unbeknownst to doctors, was fully aware of everything happening around him, but entirely helpless to do anything about it. Although his eyesight had begun to fail, the man could hear every visitor that came to his bedside and every conversation that happened around him. With the aid of a special touchscreen computer, the man is now able to communicate with the outside world.
In Peru, authorities have arrested four members of a macabre gang suspected of murdering over 60 people and selling the fat removed from their corpses for profit.

Authorities said that the container had been recently sold and was on route to an unnamed business for commercial purposes.
In Carlsbad New Mexico, townspeople are afraid that any moment their fair town just might slip into a hole in the earth. Over the course of three decades, a huge cavern has formed under the town, the unfortunate byproduct of having fresh water pumped into a salt layer more than 400-feet below the surface and then eventually extracted as several million barrels of brine to aid in oil drilling. The whole scenario has made local officials so nervous that they have set up a monitoring system that will take readings through pressure sensors every few seconds. In the event of a possible cave-in or any rapid change in the monitored readings, the alarms will trigger, giving residents several hours notice to begin evacuation before disaster strikes. Based on the current size of the cavern, if a cave-in did occur, it could span up to 500 feet.
In Southern California, the FBI has begun a frantic search for 70-year-old man who has robbed at least four banks and has somehow manged to evade authorities every step of the way. This elderly man proves that wisdom beats out youth any day due to the fact that he pulled of the heists while hooked up to an oxygen machine, giving himself an unintentional disguise. The man was caught on one of the bank’s surveillance cameras during his last robbery dressed in a tweed jacket and newsie cap. He brandished a pistol, handed the cashier a note, and walked away clean with an undisclosed sum of money.
In Tampa Florida, a 36-year-old woman drove her pickup truck through a 12-foot, 1,500-gallon salt water aquarium at the Tampa International Airport. Officials say that she was driving with a 6-year-old boy in her lap when she lost control and plowed into the $200,000 art exhibit. Both the woman and boy escaped from the accident unharmed, but 90 percent of the fish were killed in her wake.
In Rio De Janeiro, a 59-year-old bricklayer surprised friends and family alike when he showed up for his own funeral. In a strange series of events, the man had spent the night drinking with friends at truck stop and woke up the following morning to the news that he had died in a horrible automobile accident. The disfigured body of a crash victim, who was wearing similar clothing to the man, had been falsely identified and in according to Brazilian customs, was laid to rest the following day. Once the man caught wind of the horrible mix-up, he rushed over to the funeral and set the record straight.
In South Korea, a 68-year-old woman finally passed her driver’s license written exam after taking it 950 times. The now mobile woman has plunked down over $4,200 in application fees in her quest to drive a car. When asked by a local newspaper why she hadn’t given up after so many failed attempts, she stated the she needed the license for her produce business. The woman will have to save her victory speech for later though, because the battle for her license is only half over, she must pass the driving test next.
Harken Strangers! So you’ve come here on this dark and stormy night to hear my dastardly little tale. Let me begin by saying, that no matter how shocking it may seem, every crimson ounce of it is true. I am an advocate of mischief and a creator of turmoil. I compose ghastly music based on eerie circumstance and delightful tragedy in the band Creature Feature and the band Rufus Rex. I direct strange films depicting ill-fated events and ghoulish irony. I am a writer of the macabre, as opposed to a revolver, I use a sharpened pencil to displace my brains. I gently squeeze the trigger and splatter the page with metaphor. Read, watch, and listen, you never know what wonderful terrible things you might unearth.
