It’s a Beautiful World We Live In
- River of liver: AP reports:

- Help! Arrest my cat: KVIA TV reports:
A 56-year-old Lumberton man called 911 and demanded that police arrest his outlaw cat, but he was the one who ended up behind bars. Police reports show that Lloyd Gregory Coleman repeatedly called 911, insisting deputies come and arrest his fugitive feline. The cat, he said, had outstanding warrants. Dispatchers warned Coleman to quit abusing the 911 phone system, but he kept calling. When police arrived, Coleman invited them to search his house for the cat. … The cat never surfaced, but a prescription bottle of marijuana seeds did.
- Hockey fights sans hockey: Canadian Broadcast Company reports:
Two men from Winnipeg want to make hockey fights the main event by staging “Hockey Gladiators” next fall. Organizers Mike Davidson and Darryl Wolski say 60 hockey players will pay an entry fee to drop their gloves and duke it out for prize money.
- Assault with a deadly cheddar: AP also reports:
A Cedar City man is accused of assaulting another man with a block of cheese. Police say the victim was struck in the face with the cheese Thursday.
- Exploding cream soda bath salts: AP reports:
Pam Edwards got…an awakening in the middle of the night when the Cream Soda Bath Fizz she bought at the Woodford County Kiddie Bazaar exploded.
