Two Florida women are facing felony charges for swiping a man's beer. According to the "Naples Daily News," 18-year-old Jessica Pagliaroli and 22-year-old Allison Ratliffe were arrested Tuesday on charges of "robbery by sudden snatching." Police say 37-year-old Leonardo Ramirez rode past the women on his bike, carrying a 12-pack of brew. After harassing the man for a short period, Ratliffe then ordered Pagliaroli to take Ramirez's beer. Pagliaroli reportedly shoved the man to the ground and the women ran off with the booze. Ramirez claims he followed them to an apartment and asked for the beer back, but the women just laughed and cursed at him.

The internal memo was posted on the Web site Nasawatch.com.
A French woman is heading to space thanks to a candy bar contest. Mathilde Epron bought a Kit Kat bar at a store and tossed the wrapper in the trash. She didn't bother to check it to see if she had won anything. A couple of hours later Epron decided to go back and found the wrapper. Inside, she found the winning code. She'll receive four days of astronaut training in the United States. After that, she'll board the Rocketplane XP. The four-seater aircraft will fly to an altitude of about 60 miles and give her five minutes of weightlessness. Ironically, the 32-year-old woman is a flight attendant.
A New York City man who claims a knife was baked into his Subway "Cold Cut Trio" sandwich has filed a million-dollar suit against the restaurant.

His attorney says the case was filed on public health grounds, but she is investigating to see if the June incident was intentional or malicious. Subway spokesman Kevin Kane says the company is aware of the complaint and is investigating.
Employees in one of five fields should feel secure in their jobs during this economic downturn. According to JobFox, the top five recession-proof professions are sales representatives, software engineers, nurses, accountant and finance executives, and accounting staff. The five made the top of the list for having most consistently remained in highest demand over a more than eight-month period dating from November 2007 through July 7th, 2008. According to the report, sales reps are in high demand as companies battle for revenue and market share in a sluggish marketplace. Software engineers are expected to be among the fastest-growing occupations through 2016, according to the UP.SE. Labor Department. Nurses are needed even more due to the aging Baby Boomer population. I don’t see DJ’s on that list, not a good sign!

A Virginia man is charged with more than half a dozen counts after 17 snakes he owned were found in a motel room. The bizarre case began last Thursday when the Hy-Way Motel manager in Fairfax called authorities to report an odor coming from a room. Peter Nguyen of Arlington is the owner of the reptiles with 12 of them in the motel said to be venomous. The snakes included speckled rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, a black headed python and rhinoceros viper. Officials don't believe Nguyen was staying at the motel but rather renting a room to keep the reptiles there. They were in plastic containers inside of vinyl bags. He had to remove the snakes from his home after complaints about them from neighbors. He faces misdemeanor charges for keeping wild, exotic or vicious animals as pets.
Some Austrian drivers got a big surprise recently. According to Ananova.coma, motorists in the European nation were stuck in traffic for hours as a group of camels wandered onto a busy road.

One driver noted, quote, "In Austria it is common to come across cows being herded across roads -- but the sight of camels was a bit of a shock." The camels were eventually rounded up and returned to the circus.
An 11-year-old is on patrol in the Stone Lakes subdivision in Louisville, Kentucky. Landon Wilburn used to shout at speeders to slow down – until he had a better idea. Dressed in a reflective vest, wearing a bicycle helmet and armed with a Hot Wheels brand radar gun, he points and records the speed of passing traffic. He also carries a flashlight with a built-in siren. Residents say they have seen drivers lock up their brakes when they saw Landon clocking them. Officials say the city will install speed bumps in the neighborhood if 70% of residents agree and are willing to put up half the money.
It sounds like something that could only happen in the Wild, Wild West but a horse stopped traffic in New Hampshire. It was first reported during morning rush hour this past Tuesday on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire and caused a traffic nightmare. Troopers struggled with the situation as the animal bolted when they tried to box it in. Passing motorists stopped to help by handing apples and rope to to officers but nothing seemed to work. The horse eventually vanished into some woods and later in the day was finally captured.
Residents of Pinellas Park, Florida, were shocked to see a group of about 30 fish “walking” on land through town. The walking catfish, a species that can “walk” using their pectoral muscles and survive on land so long as they remain moist, perplexed residents when they began strutting through the neighborhood earlier this week. “I was like, ‘No way there’s fish in the street,’” resident Dianna Fernandez said. “And I kept going further and further and seeing fish everywhere – in driveways. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
