Maybe the culprit just couldn’t find any bread.

A Seattle resident returned home to find much of his home, and even his dog, smeared in peanut butter and jelly — and someone had vomited in his daughter’s bed!

This shell-shocked patient is in good hands.

Rescuers at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Fla., called in an orthodondist to fix the broken shell of a 171-pound sea turtle seriously injured by a boat propeller.

Orthodontist Alberto Vargas is using a device similar to kids’ braces to stretch the wounded shell a little each day.

It’s hoped that eventually the fracture will be minimized enough for the turtle to be able to return to the wild.

A monastery in North Dakota is shutting down its more-than-century-old ranching operation because there aren’t enough monks left who know how to care for its 260 cows.

The only experienced rancher left is 76-year-old Brother Placid Gross, who’s been on the job for 51 years.

Time to toss the doughnuts.

A Dunkin’ Donuts worker in Florida who took home end-of-the-day unsold pastries was arrested for grand theft.

A manager at the New Port Richey store pressed charges after the employee defied a standing order to throw out the leftovers.

A British toddler’s lifelike doll was too lifelike.

The child left the doll in the family car, and police broke through a car window thinking that an abandoned baby had passed out on the floor of the vehicle.
