A North Carolina woman reluctantly purchased lottery tickets for her husband, planning to lecture him on the waste of money when the prize passed them by. Then they won $1 million. “I had to eat my words,” said Glenda Blackwell, of Leicester. “But those are pretty good words to eat.”

It’s a sign of intolerance in Lincoln, Neb.

Locals forced the owners of a billboard to take down a message from Lincoln Atheists by threatening to boycott a gas station where the sign stood — even though the station had nothing to do with the ad.

Lamar Advertising removed the billboard, which read, “The Good Life Without God? It’s Possible,” and refunded Lincoln Atheists.

A rep for the atheists said they are “disappointed that we don’t get an equal platform to share ideas.”

A penguin at SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla., suddenly lost most of her feathers, making it difficult for her to regulate body temperature.

The town of Elida, NM, filed a lawsuit against the sheriff of nearby Roosevelt County over his alleged interference with Elida’s own police.

Sheriff Malin Parker has butted into local police business several times, the suit claims, and once even challenged Elida’s mayor to a “fist fight in the middle of the road.”
