Truck Turns Cheesy, Fast.

Cheddar, Provelone, American, Gouda, Goat.... yum. A few of these delicious types of cheese are now a bit runny on a highway in California.

In Sacremento, California a truck carrying hundreds of pounds of cheese burst into flames causing cheese to flow freely down the, well, freeway.

The driver tried, nobly, to extinguish the fire as soon as he noticed it, but it spread too far, too fast. After trying to fight the fire for a bit, the driver realized it was too much to handle, and got his dog out of the truck. His faithful companion was traveling from Salt Lake City, Utah, to San Francisco, California with him.

Really wish we had a photo for this one....

Some Of The Weirdest Excuses You've Ever Heard

We've all done it, the "excuses" thing. You know, "I didn't mean too", "I didn't know you were right there", "I was sick, not skipping, I promise!"

Well, listed are some of the weirdest excuses I've ever heard, and I'm guessing the weirdest you've ever heard.

In no particular order....

1.) When a woman went to the police claiming to be raped (and singled out who had done it), the police confronted the man. The man, seemingly calm, stated that he had merely bumped into her and become so entangled in her that it was hard to know what had really gone on. They were apparently SO entangled that he couldn't free himself for 45 minutes. Turns out, his semen WAS inside her...and he HAD raped her. But nice excuse.

2.) In Japan, sometime earlier in the year, a man was detained for firing several rounds into a building next door to his apartment. When he was brought in, he explained that he was merely very angry at the building for blocking the sunlight he had enjoyed before the building had been built.

3.) In Carlisle, PA a woman found a tape, in her apartment, of two girls undressing. When she confronted her husband (and the police were called for an invasion of privacy), he claimed that he thought there were ghosts in the house, so he set up some cameras for surveillance.

4.) In Brussels, Belgium, there is a charming little wrought-iron shop that has been run by the same owner for quite awhile (so I'm guessing). When a Nigerian applied for a job and was turned down, the owner (after investigation) claimed, "My dog is racist, not me!"

Collected excuses from here.

70 Year Old Arrested For Neglecting Lawn

Occasionally, when you're in the thick of enjoying life (especially at 70), some things become mundane and you realize what's truly important. Like watering your lawn. 70-year-old Betty Perry was giving her lawn a break (and had been doing so for a few years) due to the fact that she couldn't afford to water the grass. Hey, saving money is saving money.

Orem, Utah, however, is having none of the saving money idea.

Ms. Perry, a widow, was enjoying her afternoon when a police officer came to the door and asked her why she did not water her lawn. Perry did not have any reason except she needed to save money; she simply could not afford it. The officer asked her name and began writing her a ticket, but Betty decided she would rather walk back inside her home. The officer then grabbed her to handcuff her and decided that this was resisting arrest, amongst other things. He then, a bit roughly, took her to jail.

Although Betty is doing just fine now and is out of jail (and happy about it-who wouldn't be?) she recommends just doing what officers say, due to how things can get a little strange and/or scary.

Girl Gets Suspended For Writing I Love Alex

Graffiti it isn't..but who ever thought that the words "I love (insert name here)" would ever get them suspended from school... for 4 months?

That's the last thing that Shelby Sendelbach, a 12-year-old from Katy, Texas, thought when she scribbled her 6th grade thoughts on a school gymnasium wall.

This minor offense, written in baby blue marker, was labeled a "Level 4 Infraction". Which, in layman's terms, means it's considered in the same categories as assault, drug possession, and threats.

It's on the odd side that this is looked at as if it were graffiti done by a 19-year-old who has done property damage a few times.

The school district has claimed that they are only following the rules in punishing the 12-year-old. To read more on this go here.
