\u27a2 When a New York couple was told their over 100-year-old home was built by a notorious bootlegger, they passed it off as small-town legend. But during a recent home renovation, they found more than 66 bottles of whiskey from the Prohibition-era hidden within the walls and floorboards of their home, which was built in 1915.<\/p>\n
The liquor is a brand of Scottish whiskey labeled Old Smuggler Gaelic whiskey, which is still made today. Each bottle was wrapped in tissue paper and straw and bundled in a package of six. The full bottles are estimated at a value of around $1,000 each,<\/p>\n
The couple said they will keep one of the full bottles of whiskey to taste test.<\/p>\n

The woman, Tracy Noonan, said she thinks the attack had something to do with the Sarah Jessica Parker perfume she spritzed on before leaving for her morning run. She says she often sees kangaroos from afar on her jogs, but this particular one followed her and even jumped three fences to get closer to her.<\/p>\n As she turned to run away, the kangaroo hit her in the back, causing her to fall to the ground. She said she then stood up and slowly inched away, managing to distract the animal long enough to find safety inside a stranger\u2019s home. But then the kangaroo hung around for over about a half-hour, waiting for her to leave. A local park ranger informed Noonan that it might\u2019ve been her perfume that caused such an intense interest from the kangaroo.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ESCAPED SHEEP WANDERS INTO HOTEL, WAITS FOR ELEVATOR <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This is not what you expect to see at a hotel elevator bank. The Premier Inn in Holyhead, Wales, shared a video of a sheep that wandered into the building and was found standing in a hallway where it appeared to be waiting for the elevator. Employees say the sheep had escaped to a nearby field and entered the hotel through the automatic doors. They added the sheep was safely returned to its owner.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n AUSTRALIAN WOMAN FINDS WILD KOALA IN HER CHRISTMAS TREE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This could be the best Christmas tree decoration ever. Animal rescuers in Australia were called to a home of a woman who found a koala hanging in the branches of her Christmas tree. The Adelaide and Hills Koala Rescue said their hotline operator initially thought they were being pranked when Amanda McCormick called in to report the creature in her tree inside her home. The female koala was safely returned to the outdoors. Rescuers note,<\/p>\n \u201cKoalas are very curious creatures and if the opportunity presents itself, they will investigate.\u201d<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n HOW OFTEN DO YOU VACUUM THE FLOORS IN YOUR HOME IN A WEEK?<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n A poll of over 1,600 people reveals how they answered the above question:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 53% once or twice a week<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11% 3 to 5 times per week<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7% each: daily, and 4 to 6 times per week<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TUESDAY DECEMBER 8TH<\/sup> \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Buffalo Bills defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-24 last\u00a0night (December 7th), led by quarterback\u00a0Josh Allen<\/strong>, who threw for 375 yards and four touchdown passes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n STICK IN THE MUD:<\/u><\/strong> Now, an artist group has claimed responsibility for two of them, and is selling 10-foot monoliths on their website for $45,000(!!), which includes \u201cdelivery and installation\u201d, according to the post.
