Fox News Goes Completely Racist When Reporting Dead Gorilla Story
Florida Golf Course Hazard
It’s a monster, but not unknown to the staff. A pro shop clerk said he’s between 15 and 16 feet long, and owned by Manatee County. He’s their course mascot. That’s kind of like having a dinosaur casually hang around for tourists to take pictures with.
Why You Should Never Turn Your Back On A Big Cat
Which is why Tampa, Florida's Big Cat Rescue felt compelled to create this video showing what happens when you turn your back on a big cat.
It's funny to see the cats come stalking up behing him then act like "what? I'm not doing anything..." when he turns around, but this video wouldn't be so funny without that sturdy fence.

The Real Rosie the Riveter Has Been Found
Five years ago, we told you the story of how Geraldine Doyle was identified as the inspiration for the Rosie the Riveter
poster. Doyle died in 2010 at age 86. Now evidence has come to light
that she wasn’t the model for Rosie at all! Dr. James Kimble of Seton
Hall University followed the story of how Doyle was identified as Rosie
and was bothered by how little fact-checking went into it. So he decided
to investigate himself. He began working on tracing the provenance of
the photograph that Westinghouse used when their graphics department
designed the poster. None of the available copies of the photo had any
information on them, and the identification was made by Doyle herself.So he called all the various wire services and stock photo collections that might now own the photo. He called naval bases and photo experts. He did endless Google searches. He leafed through endless issues of WWII-era magazines, looking for the photo in question in the hope it might be captioned with a date or a place. This took months, and got him pretty much nowhere — though a particular naval base in California kept popping up, a location that piqued Kimble’s interest because Doyle had worked at a factory in Michigan.Not only that, but Noami Parker Fraley is still around at age 94 and living in California. Read the story of how Kimble found the real Rosie at the Omaha World-Herald.
And then, in a feat of both persistence and luck, yet another Google search led Kimble to a Memphis company that sells old newspaper photos. The company just happened to be selling the photo he was looking for, the photo of the woman leaning over the lathe. He bought it, and when it arrived in the mail he realized it had the caption information he had been searching for on the back.
The photo was taken March 24, 1942, in Alameda, California. That pretty much eliminated Doyle as the photo’s subject, because she worked in a plant in Michigan and hadn’t even started there by that date.
Besides, the woman in the photo had a name.
The Origin of the Paper Bag
Margaret Knight went to work in a cotton mill in New Hampshire when she was only ten years old. After all, that was in 1848, and her widowed mother needed every penny the family could earn. Knight was smart and had a talent for making things even as a child, when she fashioned toys for her brothers and their friends.
By the time she joined the Columbia Paper Bag Company as a lowly factory worker, the 30-something, unmarried Knight had spent years as a ‘Jill-of-all-trades’, becoming proficient in daguerreotype, photography, engraving, house repair and upholstering. Spending long hours at the factory, she soon heard of current efforts to create a machine that could efficiently manufacture flat-bottomed paper bags. ‘I am told that there is no such machine known as a square-bottomed machine,’ she wrote in her journal. ‘I mean to try away at it until I get my ideas worked out.’ Independent of the factory and without her bosses’ knowledge, Knight began to study the issue intently.And she got her ideas worked out. Knight designed a machine that would manufacture flat-bottomed paper bags so that they could be mass-produced. The trouble was that a man who’s seen her invention had gone ahead and patented it. That meant war. Read about Margaret Knight and her invention at Aeon.

Tenants unhappy about new lease agreement that requires them to 'like' complex on Facebook
Some tenants at an apartment complex in Salt Lake City, Utah, are
unhappy about a new lease agreement that requires tenants to “like” the
complex on Facebook.
Tenants of the City Park Apartments said that a “Facebook addendum” was
taped to their doors on Thursday night.
The contract requires tenants to friend the City Park Apartments on
Facebook within five days, or be found in breach of the rental
agreement, though some of the tenants already signed a lease agreement
months ago.
The document also includes a release allowing the apartment to post
pictures of tenants and their visitors on the page.
“I don’t want to be forced to be someone’s friend and be threatened to
break my lease because of that,” tenant Jason Ring said. “It’s
outrageous as far as I’m concerned.”
Ring said it’s the last straw; he’s moving out after the final month of
his lease.
“It’s a violation of my privacy,” Ring added.
Zachary Myers, an attorney who specializes in tenant rights for
Hepworth, Murray & Associates in Bountiful, said the contract
addendum may not be fair to those who don't have or are unable to create
Facebook accounts.
“The biggest issue that I have with it is that it seems to be
discriminatory against elderly individuals and disabled individuals who
are unable to utilize an online presence such as Facebook,” he said.
Myers said that if a lease is already signed, a tenant may not be
required by law to sign a late add-on.
He added that if something like an add-on appears and a tenant is not
comfortable with it, the tenant should not sign it because once signed,
the tenant is bound to the contract unless a court says otherwise.

Woman accused of changing appearance in attempt to evade arrest for fatal hit-and-run
An arrest has been made in connection with a hit-and-run incident that
killed a popular music teacher in Santa Ana, California.
The April 20, accident killed 26-year-old Chris Chavez. He was struck
while in a crosswalk and heading to breakfast.
During a news conference on Sunday, authorities announced the arrest of
the suspect driver identified by police as Tracy Clapp, 36, of Santa
Ana.
“This has been a priority case for us since going to the media with the
help of the family. Our investigators have been getting nonstop tips in
reference to this case,” said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana
Police Department.
According to Bertagna, on Saturday night, investigators received
information that led them to a home in the southeast portion of Santa
Ana.
“They went out last night. They did surveillance. "She exited a residence, got into a stolen vehicle, and after attempting to stop her, there was a pursuit,” Bertagna said. At the end of the pursuit, Bertagna said the woman fled on foot, but was apprehended by a K-9 police unit. “She was eventually confronted by officers. There was a fight with the officers. She assaulted the officers and eventually was taken into custody by a police K-9,” he said. The lead investigator in the case, Cpl. Matt Wharton, accuses her of changing her appearance in an attempt to evade capture.
Motorist unsuccessful in valiant attempt to fool breathalyzer
A drunk driver failed in his attempt to fool a breathalyzer in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China.
The offender surnamed Xu, 33, was stopped by police officers while he
was driving after drinking three glasses of red wine at a dinner prior
to being stopped, and was afraid of being punished. This led to his multiple attempts at fooling the police by pretending to blow into the breathalyzer. Xu's face appeared strained as he blew into the device. However, no reading was indicated, signalling that he did not follows the police's order. The police asked Xu to do it again, but he once again pretended to blow into the breathalyzer.

Police search for man accused of knocking woman unconscious with frozen sausages
The wound, which required staples, was the product of a spat with her boyfriend's 44-year-old son.
She was fed up with the son "freeloading and paying for nothing" for the past month at their home.
So, at around 2pm, she told him to pack up and leave, much to the son's delight. He laughed as he gathered his things and loaded them into a friend's car. She checked the freezer for any food he had left behind, finding an abandoned package of frozen bratwurst. She tossed the package into the yard after him.
When she turned to walk back inside the home, the man hurled the sausages at the back of her head. The woman said she blacked out and fell from the blow. But when she came to, the man had left. She went next door and called 911. Police noted that a large amount of blood had dripped all over her clothing. A warrant has been issued for the man's arrest on assault charges.

Two women hospitalized when thrown pizza led to stabbing with knife attached to brass knuckles
Two women from Spokane, Washington, were taken to the hospital after
being stabbed following an altercation with another woman.
Christopher Godwin said he was hosting a birthday party for his two
former roommates, Sommer Smith and Megan Godsey, on the back patio of
his home.
Godwin said that during the party, a new roommate, Amanda Lipe, threw a
piece of pizza out of her bedroom window for an unknown reason.
According to court documents, Smith confronted Lipe over the thrown
food.
Another witness said she observed Lipe go into her bedroom and return
with a knife with brass knuckles attached to it.
The witness said a fight then broke out. Officers responded to the home where they contacted Smith and Godsey. Police said the two women both had blood on them. According to court documents, Smith said she was stabbed in the right shoulder by Lipe and was hit near her left eyebrow which caused lacerations, swellings and bleedings.
Smith also told police that Lipe stabbed Godsey. When police contacted Godsey, she was very intoxicated and did not know who had assaulted her. Smith and Godsey were both transported to the hospital for treatment of their injuries. Lipe admitted to police that she had a knife with brass knuckles on it on her person during the fight. Court documents do not state any charges.

Marijuana-smoking man called police after mistaking dog bite for bullet wound
A Texas man called police on Thursday believing he had been shot in the left buttock while sitting on his porch.
When an officer from the Groesbeck Police Department, just east of Waco, responded they found the victim had been smoking marijuana and that he'd actually been bitten by his dog. He hadn't been shot.
"During the course of the investigation, it was determined that the 'victim' had been smoking marijuana on the porch as the thunderstorm passed through the area," Groesbeck Police Chief Chris Henson said in a Facebook post.
"The loud thunder scared one of the dogs causing it to nip the 'victim' in the left buttock. He believed he'd been shot and subsequently called the police, Henson said "to quell the rumor concerning a reported shooting." The victim was treated at the scene by emergency personnel and released.
