Weekly News 12: Positive, Weird, Good, and Funny

Here we go with another week of news. This is a really good collection. Check it out:

A man invented a canoe for wheelchair bound folks. Good read. Pretty long though.
Okay…when I first read this I thought it was a joke. A one time thing. I was wrong. The more I read it, the more sense it made. People are using Britney Spears music to drive away Somali pirates:
“These guys can’t stand western culture or music, making Britney’s hits perfect,” Owens explained. “It’s so effective the ship’s security rarely needs to resort to firing guns.”

Yikes. Where in the heck is that place!? Up next, a video. Now that Halloween is over, it’s time to move on. But, what if your kid still wants to wear the costume? Welp:
Well…that wasn’t very helpful, was it?
One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in the tiny town of Johnstown got up early and went to the local church. Before the service started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking about their lives, their families, etc.

Suddenly, the Devil himself appeared in front of the congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil  incarnate.

Soon everyone was evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence.

Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, “Don’t you know who I am?”

The man replied, “Yep, sure do.”

Satan asked “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Nope, sure ain’t,” said the man.

Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, “Why aren’t you afraid of me?”

The man calmly replied, “I been married to your sister for 48 years.”

Yup, just as I figured, there is some Halloween themed news. There was a drug bust. Four pounds of cocaine. Where was it? In a couple of pumpkins…in the airport…yeah.

Border agents found a spooky Halloween surprise Thursday in three pumpkins someone tried to smuggle through the Montreal airport, authorities said — about four pounds of suspected cocaine.

The pumpkins were hollowed out, filled with about 2 kilograms of white powder in bags and recapped, the Canada Border Services Agency said. They were being transported Thursday morning by a suspect authorities would identify only as a female traveler arriving at Montreal-Trudeau International Airport.

Take a look at the whole story if you want.

Boy, these are some of my favorite good news. A bus driver, while crossing a bridge, noticed a woman was ready to jump off and end it all. He pulls over, hops out, and talks the woman out of it. What’s better, the bus’ camera captured the whole thing. Awesome. Hit the link to see the video.

And that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Daily Good Stuff 213: Halloween

Halloween. Now, let’s just start this off by saying I don’t celebrate this holiday. After doing research on it, I have determined that this is something I can’t honestly back. However, I love candy. Also, I still think today can be fun. For instance, my church used to have a party on the 31st called “Harvest Fest” where you dressed up as Bible characters and played games. There was a contest…a costume contest, that was done every year. The last year we ever did the Harvest Fest, I won the costume contest. I was Moses and I had these big tablets for the ten commandments. The kicker was that I was one of three Moses’ there so I when I won, I really won. On Friday, I hope there’s plenty of weird news of trick-or-treat incidents. Wouldn’t that be swell?

How’s it going? I hope all is well. Let’s get to the stuff I know you came here for.

Weekly News 11

We’ve heard of some pretty odd sick day excuses. Like dentures flying out of the mouth on the highway. Or a glass eye that just won’t stay. We’ve heard of those, right? Well, a survey was conducted to see some excuses for using s sick day. Check it out.

Good news is a slight mystery, but there’ enough info to get the gist. A man overheard some sad news in a diner and decided to pay for their meal. He wrote a vague note:
‘Do me a favor and bring me their check too. Someone just got diagnosed. Don’t tell them”
I’m leaning towards cancer, but we’ll never really know. But, do we need to?
Here’s some weird news you’ll get a kick out of. A grand father won $200,000 for a bet in a soccer game. Sounds like same old same old until you realize what the bet was. Granddad bet that his 18-month old grandson would play for their country’s soccer team. At age 16, the bet paid off. Talk about investing in the future.
This good news aims to tell us that not all criminals are bad people. Such is the case of a police woman who decided to buy groceries for a single mother who was caught shoplifting. The mom was desperate and saw this move as her last hope. The officer paid for $100 worth. Very nice of her. Then, this same woman was also given a job. Wow. Not to mention that she received another $700 in donations as well.
This is some weird news for ya. A professional team played in knockoff versions of their own jerseys because they forgot theirs. And that’s the second uniform they wore:
Bogota-based Santa Fe began the game in their grey training kits, adding numbers with surgical tape, while an assistant bought counterfeit shirts on the street for 12,000 pesos ($6.37) apiece and scrawled names and numbers on with a red marker pen.
Man, that’s deep.
And that’s the latest news. Thanks for stopping by, champ.
