\u27a2\u00a0 <\/span>A woman in North Carolina was buying baked beans at Target last week when a\u00a0<\/span>LIVE SNAKE<\/span><\/a>\u00a0slithered across the shelf.\u00a0 Fortunately, it wasn’t a venomous snake . . . but still.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>An Australian man by the name of Alex White says he thought he was seeing a huge worm wiggling in the plastic-wrapped lettuce — until a snake tongue flicked. Authorities say a venomous pale-headed snake made the nearly 900-kilometre journey to Sydney from a packing plant wrapped with the lettuce.\u00a0<\/span>The supermarket is investigating how the dangerous reptile found its way in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>An “artist” on Twitch named Tim Inzana\u00a0<\/span>has<\/span><\/a>\u00a0been living in a shed for 100 days without leaving, and says he’ll stay there for another five years if someone buys it as “art.”\u00a0 For $5 million, he’ll stay in the shed and livestream himself to a framed TV they’d hang on their wall.\u00a0 Up to 20 people can buy frames.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>A 39-year-old woman in England\u00a0<\/span>got<\/span><\/a>\u00a0pregnant while she was ALREADY pregnant.\u00a0 Her name is Rebecca Roberts, and her husband’s name is Rhys.\u00a0 It’s a rare phenomenon called “superfetation twins,” where one of Rebecca’s eggs was fertilized, and then another was fertilized three weeks later.\u00a0 Their twins Noah and Rosalie recently turned six months ol<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> Remember “Night Court”?\u00a0 Well, NBC is developing a SEQUEL series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John Larroquette will be back as attorney Dan Fielding . . . but Harry Anderson won’t be able to reprise his role as Judge Harry Stone, because he died in 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, the show will be about his daughter, Judge Abby Stone, who’s followed in his footsteps. The original ran for nine seasons, from 1984 to 1992.\u00a0 Larroquette won four Emmys, and the show was nominated for Outstanding Comedy three times.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      1. Ireland won its first Olympic medals in 1924 . . . a silver in the PAINTING competition and a bronze in LITERATURE.\u00a0 Obviously both of those competitions aren’t part of the Olympics anymore.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                              GOOD NEWS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

                              There’s a 22-year-old guy named Josh Swain in Lincoln, Nebraska.\u00a0 And last year, he sent a message on Facebook to pretty much everyone named Josh he could find in the area . . . to invite them to a JOSH FIGHT on Saturday, April 24th, 2021 at noon.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              The message got a bit of a viral boost, and on Saturday, DOZENS of Joshes actually showed up to participate in the Josh Fight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Most of them wore costumes and they all fought with pool noodles.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              The last Josh standing at the end was a four-year-old kid who everyone was calling Little Josh.\u00a0 He got a Burger King crown and a wrestling title belt.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Attendees of the brawl donated 200 to 300 pounds of food for the Food Bank of Lincoln and raised $8,000 for the Children\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center Foundation in Omaha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              The four-year-old who won the Battle of the Joshes this past weekend in Nebraska now has a “life-changing” fund to help send him to a prestigious university.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              His newfound army of fans want him to go to an Ivy League university and set up a GoFundMe for him. The Super Mario fan, who has four siblings, had to overcome seizures as a child and his father, Josh Vinson Sr., has joined the GoFundMe push, which he says will help his son overcome his “humble” background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Burglar Accidentally Shoots Himself in the Leg Trying to Kick in a Door<\/b><\/p>\n

                              This feels like some instant karma right here.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Last week, two guys tried to break into a house in Fort Wayne, Indiana in the middle of the night by kicking in the front door.\u00a0 But . . . as they were kicking in the door, one of them accidentally SHOT HIMSELF in the thigh with the gun in his pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              And we know that’s what happened, because the entire thing was caught on\u00a0<\/span>video<\/b><\/a>\u00a0by the Ring doorbell camera at the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              The guys ran off right after that.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Later that night, the guy who shot himself went to the hospital . . . where he was arrested.\u00a0 Police are still trying to find the other guy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              Guy Stole a Police Webcam on His Way Out of Jail<\/b><\/p>\n

                              You’d think the time when someone WOULDN’T want to commit a crime is when they were finally getting out of jail.\u00a0 You’d think.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              There’s a 35-year-old guy named Steven Moran from Vero Beach, Florida.\u00a0 And he was arrested last month for criminal mischief and taken to county jail.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              He got out on a $1,000 bond.\u00a0 And while he was in the booking area getting discharged . . . he stole a WEBCAM off one of the jail computers and slipped it in his pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              When the jail realized the camera was missing, the police investigated . . . and figured out Steven stole it as he was being discharged.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              So he was arrested on Thursday for theft.\u00a0 He got out on bond again . . . and as far as we know, this time, he didn’t steal any souvenirs on his way out.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              SOME \u2018THING\u2019 TO TALK ABOUT:<\/b><\/p>\n

                              In June, a new kind of library will open in London, ON. A \u201cThing Library\u201d. The idea is that you can borrow items that you need to use, rather than having to purchase them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              The library-style service will provide hobbyists, bakers and amateur remodelers crowd-sourced tools in an effort to reduce waste and save people money. The London Thing Library will run on a membership model, where patrons pay a monthly fee for access to the library\u2019s inventory. It will also focus on teaching people new skills, like how to dehydrate your own food or make repairs through workshops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                              At this point, the enterprise is asking for donations to build up inventory. Among the items they\u2019re requesting are bike repair tools, a pressure washer, camping chairs and cookie decorating supplies.<\/span>
