KTWO Radio in Casper reported that Bryant Johnson told police he had traveled back in time from 2048.

But when they removed the mass, the BBC reported, they found the \u201clong-lost Playmobil traffic cone\u201d the patient had received as a gift on his seventh birthday.

One of the friends was suspicious when he saw a wall in the home dedicated to military service. That friend left before the move was complete.

Through U-Haul records, police were able to track Adams down. He was charged with burglary and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n People Different From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014 Mermaid Aries, 18, of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England, likes to wear her specially made mermaid tail when she swims at local pools. But the Dolphin Centre in Bromsgrove has banned her from using the flipper because \u201cthey worry I might hit someone with my tail or might get into trouble in the water and drown,\u201d Aries (real name Leia Trigger) told the Worcester News, \u201cit is my ambition to become a professional mermaid that attends children\u2019s parties and other events. The only problem is that I have nowhere to swim.\u201d After the story made headlines, the Perdiswell Leisure Centre stepped up. Aquatic development officer Vanessa Bale welcomed Aries to the pool, offering her \u201cearly mornings and late evenings.\u201d Aries was thrilled: \u201cI am absolutely ecstatic. I never thought I\u2019d be able to swim with my tail ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 An anonymous bidder in the United States has purchased a pair of Adolf Hitler\u2019s boxer-style underwear for $6,700, according to auctioneer Bill Panagopoulos of Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City, Md. The drawers, with a size 39 waist and \u201cA.H.\u201d embroidered on them, were left in the Parkhotel Graz in Austria in 1938. The seller was the grandson of the people who owned the hotel at that time. Panagopulos supposes the buyer will frame the underwear and hang them on a wall: \u201cIt would be the most talked-about relic in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n The Farce Is Strong<\/strong><\/p>\n A black-and-white photo depicting the signing of the Charter of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945 has prompted the recall and reprinting of Saudi social studies textbooks because it pictures Saudi King Faisal seated next to the Jedi master Yoda. The photograph was created by 26-year-old Saudi artist Abdullah Al Shehri, who mixes pop culture icons into historic photographs. Shehri told The New York Times in September he inserted Yoda into the photo because he reminded him of the king. \u201cHe was wise and was always strong in his speeches,\u201d Shehri said. \u201cI am the one who designed it, but I am not the one who put it in the book,\u201d he clarified. Saudi education minister Ahmed al-Eissa apologized for the mistake, but the mystery of how the photo got into the book remains unsolved.<\/p>\n It\u2019s Good To Have Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n Octogenarians Ray and Wilma Yoder of Goshen, Ind., have finally achieved a goal they set nearly 40 years ago: to visit every Cracker Barrel location in the United States. On Aug. 31, they checked off the last of 645 stops in Tualatin, Ore., where they each received a Four-Star apron, the company\u2019s highest honor. The Yoders once stopped at 10 Cracker Barrels in one day as they traveled up the East Coast. \u201cI\u2019ve always walked away feeling refreshed,\u201d Ray Yoder told ABC News. \u201cFor two old people, we\u2019re pretty fast moving.\u201d<\/p>\n Bright Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014 The Detroit Red Wings\u2019 new promotion commemorates the Joe Louis Arena, where the team played until this year, when they moved to a new rink.

Only 3,000 vials have been produced; they are accompanied by a framed photo of The Joe.<\/p>\n \u2014 Police in Cumbria County, England, responded to a call for help from 3,210-foot Scafell Pike (England\u2019s highest mountain), where four men ran into trouble while hiking. However, their problems didn\u2019t stem from dehydration or a painful fall. Instead, it seems the group had become \u201cincapable of walking due to cannabis use,\u201d police told The Guardian. A police spokesperson wrote on Facebook: \u201cNow having to deploy rescue, air support and ambulance to rescue them. Words fail us …\u201d Cumbria police superintendent Justin Bibby reminded hikers that \u201calcohol or any other substance that could impair your judgment … has no place on a mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n The Passing Parade<\/strong><\/p>\n South Western Railway in England took over for South West Trains in August.
