customers attack a Waffle House worker because they wanted the thermostat turned down


They complained it was too hot in the restaurant and asked that the temperature be turned down.

The 21-year-old worker, who was sweeping the floor, said she would ask her manager. One of the women didn't like the answer and instead punched the employee.

In the clip, of the female attackers can be heard saying: 'Where's my damn gun?Where's my purse?'

Intentional Fire-Spreading by “Firehawk” Raptors in Northern Australia

Abstract:

Observers report both solo and cooperative attempts, often successful, to spread wildfires intentionally via single-occasion or repeated transport of burning sticks in talons or beaks. This behavior, often represented in sacred ceremonies, is widely known to local people in the Northern Territory, where we carried out ethno-ornithological research from 2011 to 2017; it was also reported to us from Western Australia and Queensland. Though Aboriginal rangers and others who deal with bushfires take into account the risks posed by raptors that cause controlled burns to jump across firebreaks, official skepticism about the reality of avian fire-spreading hampers effective planning for landscape management and restoration. Via ethno-ornithological workshops and controlled field experiments with land managers, our collaborative research aims to situate fire-spreading as an important factor in fire management and fire ecology. In a broader sense, better understanding of avian fire-spreading, both in Australia and, potentially, elsewhere, can contribute to theories about the evolution of tropical savannas and the origins of human fire use.

The article talks about central FL, but we have them in South Florida in the same county live. Hopefully the ones down here don't have herpes.

Florida wants to remove its herpes-excreting wild monkeys

Wildlife managers in Florida say they want to remove roaming monkeys from the state in light of a new study published Wednesday that finds some of the animals are excreting a virus that can be dangerous to humans.

Scientists studying a growing population of rhesus macaques in Silver Springs State Park in Ocala say that rather than just carrying herpes B, which is common in the species, some of the monkeys have the virus in their saliva and other bodily fluids, posing a potential risk of spreading the disease.

Human cases of the virus have been rare, with about 50 documented worldwide, and there have been no known transmissions of it to people from wild rhesus macaques in Florida or elsewhere. However, the researchers say the issue has not been thoroughly studied.

The findings, published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, prompted the researchers from the universities of Florida and Washington to warn Florida's wildlife agency that the infected monkeys should be considered a public health concern.

State wildlife officials say they are taking the problem seriously.

Butcher breaks out of own freezer using black pudding
Beef and lamb prove to be inferior escape tools
shutterstock_black_pudding.jpg

A butcher channelled the power of Ecky-Thump to escape being locked in his freezer when he saved his skin by using black pudding.

Seventy-year-old Chris McCabe, of Totnes, Devon, England, found himself stuck when the wind blew the door of his outdoor freezer shut. He then discovered that the internal emergency release button had frozen over.

The freezer was outside at the back of the shop, meaning that calling for help was unlikely to work, so McCabe had to resort to using frozen pieces of meat to break the ice from the button.

McCabe tried a piece of lamb, but it was too large to wield. He tried some beef, but it had poor grip. He then armed himself with a 1.5kg black pudding, the last one he had in stock, and used the blood sausage to bash the release button until the door opened.

Quite a long read this one but worth it and definitely bizarre. Ironically, it strikes me that it's the nanny cataloguing all this who looks like the weirdo, despite the obvious intent to make Levandowski look weird:
Butt plugs, mock cocks, late pay and paranoia: The world of Waymo star Anthony Levandowski… by his kids' nanny
This is a work of fiction, says engineer's lawyer

The engineer at the center of a massive self-driving car lawsuit – brought by Google-stablemate Waymo against Uber – neglects his kids, is wildly disorganized, and has a large selection of bondage gear, his former nanny has sensationally alleged.
