Greetings fellow Bizarros:
A couple was left humiliated after they were forced to call the police for help to unlock a pair of handcuffs.
However, the intimate evening between the husband and wife ended in an arrest for the man.
According to the police report, 21-year-old Dustin Taylor of Fort Smith, Arkansas, was handcuffed during sex, but the couple lost the key and called the police for help to get him out of the toy.
When police arrived, they did a routine search of Taylor's name in a police database and realized that he had a warrant out for his arrest.
He was wanted for first-degree criminal mischief in Sebastian County, the police report said.
Police removed Taylor's personal handcuffs and replaced it with their own, and he was taken to jail.
"I sort of wish the guy had invested in an extra handcuffs key," Sergeant Daniel Grubbs, spokesperson for the Fort Smith police, said.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

Valentine's Balloons Knock Out Power to 5,000
LOS ANGELES - A California utility company said Valentine's Day balloons elicited emotions other than love when they struck lines and knocked out electricity to 5,000 customers. Southern California Edison said a bundle of runaway Mylar Valentine's Day balloons collided with power lines in South Los Angeles Monday evening. "Metallic balloons look harmless, but there's no way to overstate how dangerous they can be when released outside," Paul Jeske, SoCal Edison's director of corporate health and safety, said in a statement. The utility released a warning prior to Valentine's Day asking customers to avoid releasing the balloons outdoors or tying them to a person's wrist, as that poses an electrocution risk.

5-story Slide Installed in Chinese Shopping Mall
SHANGHAI - Say what you like about the Chinese, but whether they are building walls or slides, they like to go big. A Shanghai shopping mall has installed a five-story-tall stainless steel slide that brings shoppers to the ground floor in 16 seconds. The slide, installed at the Printemps shopping mall, is due to open to the public in the coming weeks, but it has already attracted a lot of attention online from social media users who question its safety. Users of the Weibo microblogging site questioned whether the rapid speed of the 66-foot slide would cause discomfort to riders' backsides and lead to potentially dangerous collisions, but mall managers said the slide has been tested for safety and only one person will be allowed on the ride at a time. The slide was built to resemble a dragon because China.

Why doesn't that place in Las Vegas with the giant Ferris Wheel have an after midnight lovers' run for fun and games? (with a higher price, of course!). This could be a real moneymaker. -Jean Lamb
