Roundup of wacky stories

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Shawn Gementera, a
California man who pleaded guilty to mail theft, to be
sentenced to spend a day outside a post office wearing a sign
stating: “I stole mail. This is my punishment.”

A 22-year-old named Ronald MacDonald was charged with
stealing money from a Wendy where he worked in
New Hampshire.

Christina Destorges, a 15-year-old Canadian girl with a
peanut allergy, died after kissing her boyfriend, who had
just eaten a peanut snack.

In a study by The Adelaide and Meath Hospital in Dublin,
Ireland, researchers concluded fatter rear ends are causing
drug injections to miss their mark, the buttock muscle, and
longer needles may be required.

From his deathbed, rocker Johnny Ramone
advocated for the nomination of Cat Stevens to the Rock ‘n’
Roll Hall of Fame. A year and half later, Stevens’ name
appeared on the ballot, though he did not win induction.

A Pennsylvania farmer painted his cows, horses and dog
bright orange so hunters wouldn’t mistake them for deer.
