    I'm vaguely reminded of the Mayday episode where the pilot let his 14 year old son sit in the chair and "fly" the airplane, though the plane was on autopilot the whole time.

    Kid managed to inadvertently disable part of the autopilot in such a way nobody thought was possible and didn't sound an alarm. Kid then inadvertently managed to bank the plane so far the g-forces prevented the pilot from getting back in the chair. Kid then inadvertently crashed the plane and killed everybody.

    ...It was a pretty good episode.

    An intoxicated Bay man caught drink-driving told police he was on his way to check why there was such a large police presence in the area.
    They were one charge of driving while disqualified, one of driving with an excess breath alcohol (both third or subsequent offences), and one of failing to answer District Court bail.

    When Kohu was stopped on Fraser St on July 5 he told the police officer he was on his way to check why there was such a large police presence in the area.

    He was driving with an excess breath alcohol of 729 micrograms - almost three times the adult legal limit of 250mcg.

    Judge Edwin Paul told Kohu he was left "speechless" by his reason for driving that night.

    "I have got to say Mr Kohu I have heard lots of explanations for drink-driving but I've never heard this one before.

    "Your explanation really reflects the fact that you were drunk.

    KC detective ends interview after suspect answers question with ‘loud fart’
    His flatulence stopped one police interrogation, but not a continuing investigation that has resulted in a 24-year-old Kansas City man facing federal gun and drug charges.

    Sean A. Sykes Jr., is charged in U.S. District Court possession with intent to sell cocaine and being a felon in possession of three firearms, two of which were reported stolen.

    The charges stem from Kansas City police traffic stops on Sept. 1 and Nov. 5, according to court documents.

    On Sept. 1, Sykes was in a car that police searched and found a backpack that contained various drugs and two handguns. One of the guns, a .357 Magnum, had been reported stolen out of a car in Independence a few days earlier, according to the documents.

    While being questioned, Sykes denied knowing anything about the guns and drugs.

    In his report about the interview, the detective wrote that when asked about his address, “Mr. Sykes leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart before answering with the address.”

    “Mr. Sykes continued to be flatulent and I ended the interview,” the detective wrote.

    Charges were not filed at that time.

    Then on Nov. 5, police pulled over a car driven by Sykes.

    According to the allegations in court documents, police found marijuana and crack cocaine inside the vehicle. They also found a .38-caliber revolver that had been reported stolen from Overland Park.

    Sykes made an initial court appearance Monday and was ordered held in custody pending a hearing later this week to determine if a bond will be set.

    So he was caught red-handed but managed to delay an arrest by at least two months entirely by farting? If he hadn't been pulled over a second time, would he have just gotten away with it completely?

    Article didn't go into detail about whether there was still an investigation in the books, just that questioning ended. Not a ton of info on the procedural stuff in that.

    I have a feeling this is maybe fake news because it is just so strange. But CTV News is real, so...

    http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/kidnapping-charges-pending-in-bizarre-alberta-crash-involving-naked-suspects-1.3666465
    A bizarre car crash involving a BMW filled with naked people has become even stranger as RCMP prepare kidnapping charges against three suspects, who investigators allege intentionally rammed a truck after three people escaped the vehicle.
    On Monday, two vehicles collided on a rural road in Nisku, Alta. When officers arrived, they found five people inside a white BMW completely unclothed.
    In an update Tuesday, RCMP allege that three people -- a man, a woman and a newborn baby -- were forced from a home in Leduc County and into a vehicle.
    Investigators said the man was stuffed into the vehicle’s trunk but somehow managed to escape. The woman and infant also managed to flee.
    That’s when a truck driver passing through the area spotted the three and picked them up.
    Derek Scott of LPH Industrial says it was his employee who came to their rescue.
    “Apparently they came out of the ditch with no shoes on, so he stopped to see obviously if they needed help. It’s the middle of the winter and people running around with no shoes on -- you stop to help them,” Scott told CTV Edmonton.
    After they entered the truck, RCMP said another vehicle purposefully rammed the truck. The force of the collision pushed the truck into a ditch.
    “They rammed him from behind … the unclothed people in the BMW,” Scott said.
    RCMP arrested five suspects: a man, two women and two female minors. All five were naked when they were taken in to custody.

    Cult? Sex-cult? Neighbour war gone too far between the kidnapped family and their nudist next door neighbours? Aliens? Did they kidnap them while naked or did that happen later?

    I'll definitely keep an eye out for more news on this.

    KFC paints portrait of man who discovered twitter easter egg
    Twitter user Mike Edgette, a social media manager at TallGrass Public Relations in Sioux Falls, S.D., recently stumbled across one of the year’s best branded easter eggs when he noticed KFC’s account followed only six men named Herb and five Spice Girls—aka 11 Herbs and Spices, a savvy reference to the brand’s storied secret recipe.

    His unassuming tweet about the discovery, made about a month after the stunt was quietly placed by agency Wieden + Kennedy, has since exploded to 322,000 retweets and 715,000 likes.

    But fleeting Twitter fame wasn’t the only reward in store for Edgette. This week, he announced (on Twitter, of course) that he’d received a framed, custom painting depicting him piggyback riding Colonel Sanders in a majestic natural landscape:
