VIDEO: Winter Fun! 3 Crazy Swedes on Sleds Being Pulled by a Jet Plane

JOKE: A guy gets pulled over by a cop

A guy cruises thru a stop sign and gets pulled over by a local policeman. Guy hands the cop his driver's license, insurance verification, plus his concealed carry permit.

"Okay, Mr. Smith," the cop says, "I see your CCW permit. Are you carrying today?"

"Yes, I am."

"Well then, better tell me what you got."

Smith says, "Well, I got a .357 Ruger in my inside coat pocket. There's a 9mm Glock in the glove box. And, I've got a .38 Charter Arms Undercover in my right boot."

"Okay," the cop says. "Anything else?"

"Yeah, back in the trunk, there's an Colt AR15 and a Mossberg Cruiser 12 gauge. That's about it."

"Mr. Smith, are you on your way to or from a gun range...?"

"Nope."

"Well then, what are you afraid of...?"

"Not a damn thing..."

Diver plunges 100 meters, unassisted on one breath, to set world record

William Trubridge on Monday accomplished what had long been regarded as an impossible feat: swimming to a depth of 100 meters, or 328 feet, on a single breath and with only hands and feet for propulsion.

The New Zealander did not use swim fins; he wore no weights and required no heavy sled during the descent. Nor did he use an inflatable airbag to swiftly reach the surface after his dive.

Rather, he set a new unassisted freediving record and achieved the historic 100-meter mark -- previously attained only in an assisted manner, with weighted sleds and airbags -- while wearing only a thin wetsuit and displaying remarkable power of mind over body.

"It's different than when you use sleds and airbags," Trubridge said of a his dive, made at Dean's Blue Hole in the Bahamas. "Because when you turn around at 100 meters and start swimming back to the surface with just your hands and feet, it can be a little bit daunting because of how much water you have over your head."

A diver cannot always see the surface at 328 feet. It's more than three times deeper than what's considered safe for recreational scuba divers, who must ascend from any significant depth at a painstakingly slow pace to avoid developing embolisms in the bloodstream, associated with breathing compressed air.

Trubridge held his breath for 4 minutes, 10 seconds, from start to finish. In reaching 100 meters he matched a depth first attained by a freediver in 1976, when Jacques Mayol completed his dive using a weighted sled and inflatable airbag. Mayol's exploits were legendary. The Frenchman was portrayed in the 1988 adventure movie "The Big Blue," which delved into the obscure sport of freediving.

Trubidge's accomplishment, however, reveals how far breath-hold diving has evolved, and to what extreme the human body and mind are capable of coping. At 100 meters, lungs fill with blood as a natural means of preventing their collapse. The heart rate slows to the point where a diver can become disoriented, feeling either sleepy or euphoric.

Man says he was thrown out of court because of his hair

A Mississippi man claims his unique and festive hairstyle got him kicked out of a courtroom. "I don't like looking like nobody else," Bobby Todd said

Todd's head-turning style features braids, spiked pony tails and even a holiday greeting shaved in back. But he said his look caused a stir at Southaven Traffic Court last week. "The bailiff said you can't come in here with your hair like that," Todd said. "I was like 'What are you saying?' He said 'I told you that last time. My captain didn't like how your hair was.' I said 'How is a black man supposed to wear his hair?' He asked me to leave."

Todd said he never got to the courtroom and was kicked out for his festive locks. "It shouldn't be a problem at all," he said. "I'm going in there to conduct business. You got people murdering, killing, doing all kinds of stuff and you want to pinpoint my hair. I just think it's wrong."

Court officials would not discuss the incident. A dress code is posted outside the courtroom, but it says nothing about hair. Todd said he usually adds ornaments and lights to his hair, but didn't on Friday because he was going to court.

Indian man becomes woman to get a job

Poverty has forced a 24-year-old youth to turn himself into a woman. The youth, a native of Vaddera Colony in the mandal, underwent a sex change operation in Mumbai and returned home recently.

"My family members were shocked and cried for two days when I informed them about the sex change operation," Kondapalli Shankar aka Ankita said. Shankar went under the scalpel six months ago in a Mumbai hospital.

But what made Shankar transform himself into a woman? He said acute poverty and humiliation by neighbors forced him to migrate to Mumbai in search of livelihood. "Nobody gives a job to a man. So I had decided to become a woman and earn money," he said. "My immediate priority is to earn money and bail out my poor family from the severe financial problems," he said.

Shankar lost his father Ramchander when he was a small child, and could not pursue education, which made it difficult for him to get any job. He disappeared from the village a year ago. "It took two months for us to trace him out. We were worried when he didn't call us immediately," his brother Purushotham, a daily wage laborer, said. Ankita, attired in a colourful sari and bangles, says she now earns Rs 3,000 a month/$66 USD at a small firm in Mumbai.

JOKE: the Sex Talk

When I was 17, my mother remarried and moved to Tulsa Oklahoma, leaving me alone to finish my senior year of high school in the little town where we lived (She was only about an hour away and I was very responsible for my age). My girlfriend had decided to stay the Saturday night. On Sunday morning we woke up and started to have sex. We got very involved and she started screaming very loudly, then we heard the toilet flush in the next room - my mother had come home for a Sunday lunch!

When we finally got the courage to come out of the bedroom, my Mother was sitting at the dining room table and asked "Did your father have the whole sex talk with you before we got divorced?"

He hadn't, but as most kids did at that time we learned in school, I said "No mom, he did not." To which she replied, "I didn't think so, we were married for 28 years and he never made me scream like that!"

VIDEO: This horse rides in the back seat

No wonder Jerry Miller turns heads when he takes his family out for a spin in his Toyota for the passenger on the back seat is ... his horse.

It's a bit of tight squeeze for Rascal but once the front seat has been pulled forward there's just enough room for him to get comfortable.

Rascal is billed as 'the smartest horse in the world' by his showman owner, who drives the 15-year-old miniature horse all over Kansas in his car from their base in Pomona Lake to show off the animal's arsenal of 40 tricks.

Giddyap: Jerry Miller gives Rascal a helping hand into the back of his car

The pair became an internet sensation after a family filmed them driving along a Kansas highway with the Rascal's head sticking out of the side window, his forelock blowing in the wind.

The 26-second clip features the Potter family - Rick, his wife Mandi, and children Jade, eight, and Riley, six, and a friend - passing a small brown four-door on U.S. Highway 75 near the Carbondale exit on November 6.

Rascal has been a back seat driver with the Miller family for 15 years

Woman, 70, arrested after robbing bank, fleeing in black Jaguar

They might be thought of as Granny and Clyde, except cops say Clyde was clueless.

A 70-year-old woman with a unwitting 26-year-old driver robbed an Elysian, Minn., bank Wednesday afternoon, police say.

She was quickly arrested, along with the stunned young man, who authorities say apparently thought he was just doing a good turn for his mother's tenant. Investigators said he had waited in the car and had no idea what happened.

Sandra Leaann Bathke was charged Thursday with first- and second-degree aggravated robbery, simple robbery and theft -- all felonies. She was in the Le Sueur County jail, scheduled to make a Friday morning court appearance.

According to the charges:

Elysian State Bank employees called police at 12:52 p.m. to report that an "elderly female" with gray hair, glasses and a blue jacket had just held up the bank. They said she demanded money and said she had a gun, although they did not see one. The teller gave her $3,700, and she walked out and climbed into a black Jaguar with a male at the wheel.

The bank's vice president followed the car at normal speeds about 8 miles to Janesville, Minn., and he phoned the Jaguar's description and license plate information to Le Sueur County dispatchers.

When the car reached Janesville, authorities stopped the car and ordered Bathke and the driver, Luke Even Weimert, 26, of Janesville, to the ground.

Bathke repeatedly uttered, "Luke had nothing to with it."

The charges go on to say that in an interview in a squad car, Bathke told police that Weimert gave her a ride to the bank, believing that she was going to withdraw money from her account to pay back-rent.

She said she set her blue bag on the counter and told the teller to "be quiet and not to alarm anyone." She informed the teller she had a gun and reached into the bag as if to pull it out.

Police say Bathke did not have a gun but had a small hammer in the bag. After the teller handed her all the money in the drawer, she said thank you and left.

Got free bank calendar

Weimert told police that Bathke rents a second-floor apartment from his mother and that his mother was in the process of evicting her for failure to pay rent, according to the charges.

He said Bathke told them she had money in the Elysian bank but needed a ride. On the way, he said, they "had small talk about the weather and the roads."

Weimert told police that on the way back to Janesville, he drove slowly because of the slippery roads and didn't notice they were being followed. After they pulled into Bathke's driveway, an officer appeared and ordered them to the ground. Weimert said that when that happened, Bathke said, "I'm so sorry, Luke."

Weimert was arrested on an unrelated DWI warrant and later released. Neither he nor his mother could be reached for comment.

A search of the Jaguar turned up the cash, the hammer, a pair of white rubber gloves and a 2011 Elysian Bank calendar.

Bathke's criminal record in Minnesota appears to be limited to a conviction for writing bad checks. At least a dozen cases have been filed against her in conciliation court. Le Sueur County Sheriff Tom Doherty said she had some ailments and was "down on her luck, trying to stay in her apartment."

Her choice of getaway ride did nothing to improve her luck.

Said Doherty: "Robbing a bank with a Jaguar -- that kind of sticks out."

Woman rips off daughter-in-law's nipple during drunken brawl

A 44-year-old woman who allegedly ripped her daughter-in-law's nipple off during a drunken argument could be facing criminal charges, the 3rd Judicial District Attorney's Office confirmed on Wednesday. Las Cruces police officers responded to Memorial Medical Center on Sunday morning, when doctors were already in the process of reattaching the nipple to the 30-year-old victim's breast.

It's believed to be the first time a local victim has suffered a body part being torn from them, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Amy Orlando. The victim told officers she, her husband, his mother and one of her husband's friends had spent Saturday night drinking at an apartment in the 1000 block of Idaho Avenue, according to the police report. Sometime after 3 a.m., the victim's husband had started arguing with his mother, and because it was becoming "very intense," the victim went to stand in between the two to separate them.

When the victim began arguing with her 44-year-old mother-in-law, the older woman allegedly "grabbed (the victim's) right breast and began to squeeze and pull on her nipple." The victim yelled to stop, but her mother-in-law allegedly continued to pull until the younger woman began punching her in the face, according to the police report. The victim then told police she threw her mother-in-law into the yard, but the older woman allegedly kicked in the back door and had to be physically removed again. It was when the victim was putting her mother-in-law's belongings in the yard that she felt fluid on her breast and realized there was blood on her shirt.

When she untucked her tank top, her nipple fell on the floor, she told police.

The victim put the nipple in a bag and, after several hours, decided she should go to the emergency room. Police attempted to make contact with the mother-in-law - a convicted felon who spent two and a half years in prison for drug possession and being a habitual offender earlier in the decade - but were unable to immediately find her. The victim later told police she did not want to press charges, but the 3rd Judicial District Attorney's Office could charge the mother-in-law with felony aggravated battery against a household member after the police investigation is over.
