Dorothy Hunter of Richland announced in June of 2014 that she planned to eat nothing but cat and dog food for a month. She worked at a natural pet food store, and one day she didn’t have time to go get a snack, so she ate dog treats. She decided to keep eating them for 30 days and felt safe doing so since all her pet products were natural and healthy. The only point to the mission was to bring awareness to others about what they feed their pets and themselves. Hopefully, she was successful.

2. There may or may not have been FLYING JELLYFISH in Oakville.
You may have heard the story of an odd occurrence in Oakville, when a few strange rainfalls resulted in some mysterious blobs falling from the sky that 1. Were proven not to be airplane waste and 2. Got some people sick and killed a couple of pets. One theory is that flying jellyfish were involved. An author named Charles Fort, who investigates all things odd, speculated that there was a species of nearly transparent jellyfish floating in the upper atmosphere. Over the years, pilots have seen objects in the sky that resembled jellyfish, and people have found dead birds with marks on them that look like jellyfish stings.
Man charged with smuggling pythons in his pants at US border
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A New York City man has been charged with smuggling three Burmese pythons in his pants at a U.S-Canadian border crossing.
Calvin Bautista, 36, is accused of bringing the hidden snakes on a bus that crossed into northern New York on July 15, 2018. Importation of Burmese pythons is regulated by an international treaty and by federal regulations listing them as “injurious to human beings.”
Bautista, of Queens, was arraigned Tuesday in Albany on the federal smuggling charge and released pending trial, according to a news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Carla B. Freedman.
An email seeking comment was sent to Bautista’s lawyer.
The charge carries the potential for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine as high as $250,000, according to federal prosecutors.
The Burmese python, one of the world’s largest snakes, is considered a vulnerable species in its native Asia and is invasive in Florida, where it threatens native animals.

Florida Man Pulls No Punches In Brutal Obituary For His Father Larry Pfaff Jr. wrote that his dad’s death is proof that “evil does eventually die.”
Typically, a person is only supposed to say good things of the dead. But in the case of Lawrence Pfaff Sr., the tone of his obituary seems to be “Good thing he’s dead.”
The obituary, published in The Florida Times-Union over the holiday weekend, describes the late Pfaff, 81, as “narcissistic” and an “abusive alcoholic” whose death proves that “evil does eventually die.”
The angry obit was written by Pfaff’s son Larry Pfaff Jr., who didn’t pull any punches:
[Pfaff] is survived by his three children, no four. Oops, five children. Well as of 2022 we believe there is one more that we know about, but there could be more. His love was abundant when it came to himself, but for his children it was limited. From a young age, he was a ladies’ man and an abusive alcoholic, solidifying his commitment to both with the path of destruction he left behind, damaging his adult children, and leaving them broken.
DoorDash Users Score Free Food And Alcohol During App Glitch Twitter users posted about their orders of alcohol, Plan B and chicken wings during the glitch.
A number of DoorDash users jumped on a deal that made their orders “free.99” after a glitch hit the app on Thursday.
The technical hiccup, according to Mashable, was from a “payment processing issue” that allowed users to place an order without entering payment information.
News of the glitch spread on Twitter and, on Thursday night and into Friday morning, users shared a number of their “free” orders, including $1,949.70 worth of Don Julio Reposado Tequila, more than $20,000 worth of seafood and Plan B.

Man Jailed After Calling 911 To Declare That Joe Biden Needed To Be Jailed
Meet Jacob Ryan Philbeck.
The 29-year-old Florida Man made a series of 911 calls early yesterday to inform police dispatchers that President Joe Biden should be jailed, while convicted Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán should be freed from custody.
In response to that legal advice–offered in three separate predawn calls–Philbeck was arrested for misuse of the 911 system, a misdemeanor.
Dialing from an apartment in Palm Harbor, a Tampa suburb, Philbeck was initially informed that “the information he was providing was a non-emergency situation.” Philbeck was also warned not to use the 911 system in such a manner.
Nevertheless, he persisted.
Crocodile found under school floorboards goes on display
A 120-year-old crocodile discovered under the floorboards of a school classroom in Wales has gone on display.
The remains of the giant saltwater crocodile, which were found by workmen in June 2019, have been meticulously conserved.
Pupils at Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Bodringallt in Pentre, Rhondda Cynon Taf, arrived at school on Wednesday to view the new display after restoration of the skeleton was completed over Christmas.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council worked with Pure Conservation, a Welsh company with expertise in conservation for heritage collections, to restore the remains.
An inspection of the crocodile’s bones by Pure Conservation dates it back to before the 1900s.
A story about a crocodile being associated with the school has been told across many generations.
The tale describes a local person who served in the First World War bringing back the body of a crocodile as a souvenir for the school.
It is thought that the crocodile was put on display but then hidden beneath the floorboards to protect it during later times of conflict.
Conservator Dr Victoria Purewal and artist Annette Marie Townsend, who specialises in natural history, worked on safely restoring the crocodile from September 2019 to December 2021.
The crocodile had suffered significant damage having been left unprotected for potentially 100 years.
Its entire underside was missing, along with its feet and the base of its tail, while its teeth had fallen out and its general condition was very poor.
The entire body was initially frozen to remove pests and was tested for dangerous materials, before the crocodile was wet cleaned.
The process has involved meticulously dry cleaning the crocodile’s entire body, with separate pieces vacuumed to remove dirt, cobwebs and soil.
Tiny gecko survives 4,800-mile trip from China to UK among musical instruments
A stowaway gecko survived inside a box of musical instruments for three months as it travelled 4,800 miles from China to the UK.
The 10cm gecko, nicknamed Thin Lizard by RSPCA staff, was discovered at a musical instrument importing company in Maidstone, Kent, on Monday last week – having been sealed in an ocean shipping container in October.
The RSPCA’s Clive Hopwood came to the rescue and collected the Asian house gecko, which is now in the care of the charity’s Brighton Reptile Rescue.
“The staff were unpacking a box when the little gecko scuttled out,” Mr Hopwood explained.
“The box had been part of a shipment that had travelled over from China in a sealed ocean shipping container in October, but the box wasn’t unpacked until three months later.”
Mr Hopwood said it is “amazing” that the gecko survived the trip.
“It’s amazing that this little gecko survived such a long journey and such a long time shut inside the sealed packaging but they were able to confine him and then called us for help”.
“I took Thin Lizard to our experts at Brighton Reptile Rescue who have identified him as an Asian house gecko and will find him a specialist home.”
The RSPCA said that Thin Lizard was lucky to survive as reptiles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on their environment to warm up or cool down as needed.
The charity hopes his journey will remind holidaymakers to always give their suitcases a thorough check before flying home.
Acting fast
“We want to later create protocols of effective collaboration with the Air Force and the Republican National Guard (GNR) to reach the isolated cases that may occur in the interior of the country,” he said, justifying that the purpose is to “act fast and make a more effective clearance”.
Vítor Moreira stressed that the team has already developed “a work of assessment of events that were relevant last year”, which resulted in the Annual Report of Occurrences, in which “no case was given as extraordinary”, having existed an explanation and scientific validation for the 19 sighted events.
“Mostly, the percentage of cases explained involves drone technology as well as various types of balloons,” said the official.
Vítor Moreira stressed that CIFA hopes next year to present “a more consistent and accurate model” of the reports received, projecting for 2023 to continue working “not with hypotheses, but with certainty”.
