OREGON: Crappy? We learn that a towering
30-foot poo emoji sprung up in downtown Portland in mid-November 2019, to
promote World Toilet Day. Visitors can tour the bowels of the emoji, which
features light projections and fake toilets. We wonder whether it held any
actual restrooms…
FLORIDA: Guess she didn’t like the President? A
14-year-old girl was charged with assault in late November 2019, after she
punched a man dressed in a Donald Trump costume. She punched the man in the
nose. She had been waiting in line for a haunted house in Naples when she
popped the would-be Trump in the face.
INDIA: Catch
him if you can! A businessman was recently arrested for posing as a
commercial pilot in order to skip a long security line at the airport. Rajan
Mahbubani, 48, of New Delhi allegedly dressed up as a Lufthansa pilot complete
with a uniform, hat, and fake ID. When arrested the phony admitted to police
using the ruse 15 times.
MARYLAND: Yep, it’s the “high” in higher education.
We learn that the University of Maryland in Baltimore is offering a first of
its kind degree in medical marijuana. At least 150 students have signed up for
the master’s program, which is titled “Medical Cannabis Science and
Therapeutics.”
WEST VIRGINIA: “The
crime was a real loo-loo,” read the headline. We learn that a burglar broke
into a Huntington home and stole a TV, computer – and a new, uninstalled
toilet. “How desperate are you that you steal a toilet, of all things?” Barry
Hyder asked when he returned home and discovered the loss after his daughter’s
wedding.
