Weird but true
This case of illicit drug use will get your goat.
Theodore, the grand champion goat at this year’s Colorado State Fair, was disqualified after failing a drug test.
Someone tampered with his feed by adding ractopamine, a drug that makes hogs more muscular, said Susan Weinroth, whose daughter owns Theodore.

He’s really off his bean.
A Florida man stabbed his 26-year-old son partly because the offspring allegedly stole a can of Dad’s lima beans, police said.
Donald Wynn, 54, had been living with his son for just a month when he was arrested on attempted-murder charges. The younger man was hospitalized in critical condition yesterday.

A scrap company didn’t fall for Pennsylvania’s version of the old “I’d like to sell you a bridge to Brooklyn” trick.
The company called cops when two brothers, Benjamin Jones, 24, and Alexander Jones, 25, offered them 15 1/2 tons of scrap metal they had obtained by cutting up a bridge near New Castle, Pa.

A California family was caught growing some monster marijuana, just in time for Halloween.
About 100 pounds of dried marijuana and 35 “super plants” — each 8 feet tall and so thick in diameter that they looked like trees — were found in the Napa County home of Gerald, Linda and Cody Bennett, police said.
The plants could each produce several pounds of saleable marijuana, according to cops.

The kid’s too cool for preschool.
A 3-year-old London boy wanted to go home on his first day of class, so he simply walked there — scaling a 3-foot wall and crossing a busy street by himself.
His mom, 27-year-old Samantha Aldridge, was stunned when she found her toddler, Alfie, at her front door two hours after dropping him off.
