Lost money at the slots? Take it personally.

Las Vegas slot machine designer Darryl Rosenblatt developed a way for players to program pictures and music from their smartphones onto a machine they’re playing.

This book was a little more than “Forty Minutes Late.”

A Northern California man found a book of short stories — “Forty Minutes Late” — which had been checked out of the San Francisco Public Library by his great-grandmother in 1917.

Webb Johnson returned the 1909 book by F. Hopkinson Smith. Despite the 100year wait, the library waived the late fees.

Luke and Hillary Gardner of Baldwyn, Miss., welcomed their first child last month — and little Cade shares the same birthday as mom and dad.

All three Gardners were born on Dec. 18, a 1-in133,000 chance.

Hillary was born at 8:10 a.m. on Dec. 18, 1989. Luke was born at 2:20 p.m. — also on Dec. 18, 1989.

Crime really blew up on cops in Forest Grove, Ore.

Officers also had to calm down a man deep in argument with a shrub, and arrested someone for kicking his own car.
