TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!
BEER OVERBOARD....
THIS 18-WHEELER OVERTURNED IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, SCATTERING NEARLY EIGHT-THOUSAND POUNDS OF BUD LIGHT, NATURAL LIGHT AND BUSCH BEER.
POLICE SAY THE DRIVER TOOK AN EXIT TOO FAST.
HE WAS NOT INJURED, BUT THE INCIDENT CLOSED TWO BUSY HIGHWAY RAMPS FOR HOURS.
HOW MANY KIDS DOES IT TAKE TO TOW A 120-TON AIRLINER?
ALMOST 300 CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS MANAGED TO MOVE THIS BOEING 7-87 AT AN AIRPORT IN TOKYO SATURDAY.
THEY USED A SERIES OF ROPES TIED TO THE JET'S AIRFRAME.
THE MAN-VERSUS-MACHINE TUG-OF-WAR IS AN ANNUAL EVENT INTENDED TO BOOST PUBLIC INTEREST IN AVIATION.
TUXEDO STAN IS TRYING TO CLAW HIS WAY INTO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IN HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA.
THE THREE-YEAR-OLD CAT'S OWNER STARTED THE "TUXEDO" PARTY, AND IS RUNNING STAN'S CAMPAIGN FOR OFFICE.
HE'S A RETIRED VETERINARIAN, AND IS HOPING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE NEED TO SPAY OR NEUTER CATS.
The problem is, we have an explosion of cats. We've got literally hundreds, thousands of cats that are living on the street.
HIS PET PROJECT IS JUST A STUNT -- CATS AREN'T ALLOWED ON THE BALLOT IN HALIFAX.
FOR TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, I'M APRIL WILLIAMS.
