WHASSAMATTA? SOMEBODY HIT YOU?

A heroic Denver man saved three people from being hit by a vehicle and all he got was this stupid citation for jaywalking. 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett -- with the help of another passenger -- was assisting two elderly ladies across a busy street when a pickup truck came barreling towards them. Moffett got hit but managed to shove the two women out of the way before the collision. He is currently suffering from multiple injuries at a local hospital. Moffett's reaction to getting a jay-walking citation was absolute befuddlement. The cops say that jaywalking contributed to the accident. The truck driver was cited with careless driving.

THAT'S GOTTA BE SOME BIRD

Hey, she was just trying to bring back the bartering system. 53-year-old New Orleans resident Donna Greenwell was busted for trading two children to a married couple for a cockatoo and 175 bucks. The couple -- J. and Brandy Lynn Romero -- had apparently been trying to have a child for years and resorted to illegal trade to finally get what they wanted. While the Romeros seem to be innocent victims in the plot, Greenwell was found to have an extensive rap sheet and is now being held on 100-thousand-dollar bond. It's unclear what Greenwell's relationship to the kids was. The children are currently in state custody.

SERIOUSLY GOD, NOT COOL

It's a bird, it's a plane.....it's a six-pound chunk of metal? That's right, a six-pound chunk of metal inexplicably fell from the sky and smashed through the roof of a Dallas home. Thankfully no one was home at the time when the mystery metal smashed through the home. Police are at a loss as to where the object came from and no leads have materialized.

MUNCHIES? NO, JUST MORONS

Hopefully these two nitwits had salt and pepper in the car with them. Two Port Charlotte, Florida men were arrested after they tried to eat a bag of marijuana before cops could find it. After being pulled over for not dimming their high beams, 19-year-olds Robert Leonard Harnum and Nathan Lee attempted to swallow a bag of pot while the fuzz was back at his car checking their I-Ds. Upon his return the cop noticed that the two men were chewing something and that they were covered in a leafy, green substance. Both men were taken in for possession and tampering with evidence.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT: Beer Pong Causes Herpes(Posted 3:00 AM, 2/27/2009)


It sounds crazy, but it could be true -- beer pong may be causing an increase in the numbers of herpes cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control, unprotected beer pong is nearly as dangerous as unprotected sex because sharing cups can transmit such diseases as:

Mononucleosis (mono)
Influenza (the flu)
Herpes
Think about it -- those ping pong balls are in countless people's hands. They've bounced all over the floor, gotten stuck under the couch and been completely covered in dust bunnies and bacteria. There's a lot of nasty, disgusting stuff on the floors of frat houses.
