A woman in New Brunswick wanted to get a jump on Halloween and bought a\u00a0skeleton\u00a0at a yard sale for two dollars this week, then left it in the passenger’s seat of her car while she went shopping.\u00a0 And it was realistic enough that someone called the cops.<\/p>\n

A woman named Tiffani Adams was on an Air Canada flight back to her home in Toronto earlier this month after she’d been visiting a friend in Quebec.\u00a0 It was a short flight, she had an entire row to herself, and she fell asleep.<\/p>\n

Well . . . she woke up a few hours later and the plane was pitch black, cold, and parked.\u00a0 Somehow the crew had just FORGOTTEN her on the flight.<\/p>\n

Her phone was dead so she couldn’t call for help.\u00a0 She wound up finding a flashlight in the cockpit, prying the plane’s door open, and using the flashlight to signal for help . . . since it was a 50-foot drop to the ground. Luckily for her, a crew member was driving around and saw her.\u00a0 She says she’s been having insomnia ever since and Air Canada has called her repeatedly to talk to her about what happened.<\/p>\n

Air Canada confirmed that all of this happened . . . they say they’re investigating.<\/p>\n

“Toy Story 4”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>won the box office this weekend, with a huge $118 million take . . . and yet, it was somehow STILL a bit of a\u00a0disappointment. \u00a0Heading into the weekend, it seemed headed for a $140- to $150 million opening.<\/p>\n

And while it had the biggest opening of a\u00a0“Toy Story”<\/em>\u00a0movie on the surface . . . if you adjust for inflation, it fell below what\u00a0“Toy Story 3”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0made nine years ago.<\/p>\n

    Someone Tried to Steal Halle Berry’s Entire House<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    A 59-year-old guy named Ronald Eugene Griffin tried to steal\u00a0HALLE BERRY’s<\/strong>\u00a0house . . . not rob it, take the WHOLE THING!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Griffin first showed up at Halle’s house in L.A. back in January.\u00a0 He was messing around with the locks, but was chased off by the gardener.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In March, he came back, and he brought a LOCKSMITH with him.\u00a0 Halle’s employees caught them trying to get in . . . with Griffin arguing that HE was the new owner of the house and he had the deed to prove it.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Halle’s team called 911, but so did Griffin.\u00a0 He’d already had one of the locks changed, and he told the cops that HER people were trespassing on HIS property.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    When the cops got there, they looked at Griffin’s deed, and discovered that he’d FAKED it.\u00a0 He was arrested and hit with a felony count of ‘procuring and offering a false warranty deed’ and an additional count of petty theft.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Halle didn’t know who Griffin was, and supposedly, he DIDN’T know it was her house.\u00a0 This isn’t the first time Halle’s had major issues with intruders.\u00a0 In 2011, she came home, walked in the kitchen and told cops, “As I opened my glass kitchen door and closed it behind me, all of a sudden I sensed someone behind me . . .”[I] turned to see the intruder standing less than a foot behind me, staring through my glass kitchen door.”\u00a0 Yikes.\u00a0 That guy was also arrested.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    It’s unclear if she was at home during the times when Griffin was caught on her property . . . but as far as we know, they never actually came face-to-face.<\/p>\n

            Allyn Pierce is an intensive care unit nurse in Paradise, California.\u00a0 And last year, he risked his life to save his patients from the Camp Fire, which was the deadliest wildfire in state history.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            He used his Toyota Tundra to shuttle patients to safety when the fire spread and got too close to the hospital.\u00a0 He went back and forth multiple times.\u00a0 And the flames got so close, his doors were charred and his tail lights melted.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            But he doesn’t have to worry about replacing it.\u00a0 Because Toyota heard about the story, and decided to replace it with a brand NEW Toyota Tundra.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            They made a few modifications first:\u00a0 Added a heavy-duty roof rack . . . bigger tires . . . a lift kit . . . and an on-board CO2 tank.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            But here’s the coolest part:\u00a0 His charred doors were kind of like a badge of honor.\u00a0 So they did a custom paint job for him to RECREATE the look.\u00a0 And they even gave it some texture where the paint on his old truck had boiled and bubbled up.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            They gave him the new truck last November, but recently surprised him with the custom paint job.\u00a0 And the first photos of it just hit Facebook.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

            WHEN NATURE CALLS:<\/u><\/strong>
            \n<\/u>How much time do you spend outdoors in an average week?<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            And I don\u2019t mean walking across a concrete parking lot, I mean REALLY outdoors\u2026like in a park or near the water or in a forest?<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            A study from the University of Exeter Medical School says that spending two hours a week outside in nature can make you feel better about your health and well-being. They asked 20,000 people about how much time they spent in a natural environment over the previous week.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            What they found was that those who reported spending more than two hours in nature were more likely to report high levels of health and well-being. Those who spent less than 120 minutes in nature were no more likely to report good health and well being than those who reported zero minutes.<\/p>\n

            EXERCISE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTS IN THE MORNING AND EVENING <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

            Finding the time to exercise can be challenging, and it turns out the effects of exercise may differ depending on the time of day it is performed.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            When looking at mice, they found exercise performed in the morning results in an increased metabolic response in skeletal muscle, while exercise later in the day increases energy expenditure for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Researchers still won’t say if exercising at one time is better than exercising at the other, noting “At this point, we can only conclude that the effects of the two appear to differ, and we certainly have more work to determine the potential mechanisms for the beneficial effects of exercise and training performed at these two time-points.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            We are eager to extend these studies to identify if timed exercise can be used as a treatment strategy for people with metabolic diseases.”<\/p>\n

                    Of all the things\u00a0Midland\u00a0<\/strong>has gotten to do as a band, perhaps the highlight thus far has been opening for\u00a0Garth Brooks<\/strong>\u00a0on his current\u00a0Stadium Tour<\/em>. Midland member\u00a0Jess Carson\u00a0<\/strong>tells us:\u00a0[<\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve done one show with Garth so far in Pittsburgh. It was the largest ticketed event in the history of Pittsburgh as a city, 75,000 people, Heinz Field. It was absolutely insane. The show actually got delayed about an hour and a half because of a thunderstorm. So, when we went on, it was like for the full 75,000 people. So, it was nuts, and Garth is just so gracious.\u00a0 And one of the coolest parts of the whole thing for me was he was sound checking, and then we were waiting to soundcheck and he was like comin\u2019 up on stage.\u00a0 So I\u2019m standing like next to him, and he\u2019s playing \u2018The River\u2019 and \u2018Thunder Rolls\u2019.\u00a0 He\u2019s like going through all these songs.

                    Carrie’s filming it and it starts with Jacob on a mattress in a pretty good mood . . . until Mike starts singing, and he cries immediately.\u00a0 But then Carrie starts singing and he stops.<\/p>\n

                    Mike does it a second time, and the tears flow again . . . until Carrie starts singing, and the tears stop.\u00a0 Mike tries it a third time, same result.<\/p>\n

Bryan got the ball back and managed to get it to Gronk on his second pass attempt saying, \u201cI can now say I completed a pass to Gronk in Gillette Stadium. How cool is that?\u201d<\/p>\n
