the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

:oops:

In the forests of southern Germany, there are roving bands of wild boars wreaking havoc. The shaggy-haired swine have been known to bite and charge at humans with their tusks, and are highly protective of their young. However, the creatures are also known to be incredibly radioactive—so much so that they’ve been deemed unsafe to eat.
 

A high school football coach fired for leading prayers on the 50-yard line said he is going to give thanks at the team's home opener Friday following his reinstatement.

Joseph Kennedy is set to receive a $1.7 million settlement after the Supreme Court ruled his prayer is protected under the First Amendment. He is ready to coach at Bremerton High School for his first game of the season.

"It's going to feel really great just to be able to know that the First Amendment and free speech and freedom of religion is alive and well for all Americans," Kennedy told "The Ingraham Angle."

A 'beefed up' car with giant bull named Howdy Doody crammed into passenger seat pulled over by Nebraska police​

A man driving a full-size bull named Howdy Doody in the passenger seat of a "beefed up" car was pulled over by police in Nebraska on Wednesday after a stunned onlooker reported the odd sight, authorities said.

Officers in Norfolk, about 120 miles northwest of Omaha, were dispatched at 10:05 a.m. CT for a call for a "vehicle with a cow inside" rolling through town, police records showed.

Police assumed the bovine passenger would be a small calf, but what they came upon near the corner of West Norfolk Avenue and North 13th Street was a full-size bull riding shotgun in a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria.

The car's roof on the passenger side had been removed so the animal could fit.

"It's a solid car, so I went on and purchased up and beefed up the frame that was under it and the suspension, the tires and floor and cut the top off, and we were good to go," the bull's owner, Lee Meyer, said Thursday night.

The car is a retired police cruiser from the Nebraska village of Arnold.

The idea of turning it into Howdy Doody's wheels had been in Meyer's mind for years, but it took a doubting granddaughter to push him into action.

"I had thought about it. I talked about it, and one of my granddaughters said it was a bad idea and I shouldn't do it. So I had to show her that Grandpa could do it," Meyer said. "It might have been a bad idea, but I did it anyway."

Howdy Doody is a regular attraction at parades and fairs throughout the Cornhusker State, and police just asked the driver Wednesday to be careful and keep moving.

The 9-year-old animal, which is half-Longhorn and half-Watusi, weighed 2,200 pounds two years ago, and it is probably tipping the scales a little more now, Meyer said.

At the same time, a separate report based on a survey of households, offered a slightly different picture of the labor market. The report indicated the unemployment rate climbed to 3.8% from 3.5%, even though the labor force participation rate rose last month. It marked the highest jobless rate since February 2022 and the biggest increase since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
