Usually, taxpayers are the only ones raising a big stink at Town Hall in Haverhill, Mass.
But officials say a ratty old rug in the building is causing such a bad odor to waft through the offices that hardly any business is getting done.

An allegedly drunken driver was busted in Maryland after he somehow landed his pickup truck atop a police cruiser.
The man had just left a bar and had intended to use his Ford F-250 to chase down a guy who slighted him in the tavern.

Teenage girls always want to have the most friends, but this is ridiculous.
A 15-year-old in Australia had to cancel her Sweet 16 party because she posted an invite to it on Facebook — and 200,000 people RSVP’d.
The flood of would-be partygoers responded after someone reposted her invite and it went viral. Now cops say they will patrol her block on the date of the canceled party.
