Bizarre News - September 26, 2015
Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Now here is a tough moral dilemma. Domino's Pizza in Berkeley, California, delivered a box of pizza and chicken wings to Mike Vegas, who works as a bartender in San Francisco.
Vegas said that he ate the pizza, but placed the wings in his refrigerator for when he returned home from his overnight shift.
When he returned home at 5:00 a.m., pulled the chicken wings from the refrigerator and found $1,300 in cash!
Vegas then checked his missed calls and realized that the frantic delivery driver had called him numerous times in an attempt to locate the missing money, but since he had been at work, he did not take the calls.
Vegas has posted a picture on Facebook, showing two stacks of bills, one containing $666 and another $633.
He decided to do the right thing and return the money to Domino's Pizza. He was rewarded with a year's supply of free pizza for his honesty.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Taco Bell fires worker from viral hand-in-pants photo --*
SANDUSKY, Ohio - Taco Bell officials said an employee at an Ohio franchise was fired after a viral photo on social media showed him with his hand down the back of his pants. The picture, which was posted to Taco Bell's official Facebook page by concerned customers, shows an employee at a Sandusky, Ohio, location with his left hand down the back of his pants -- apparently inside his underwear. The Erie County Health Department said officials visited the store after a complaint about the photo was lodged with the department Monday. Taco Bell released a statement in response to the controversial photo. "This is completely unacceptable. Our franchisee took immediate action and has terminated the employee and retrained the entire staff. We want customers to know that the person in the photo was never in contact with the food, and that the Health Department inspected the restaurant and approved its operations." The company fired two Taco Bell workers in June of 2013 after a viral photo emerged showing one of the employees licking a stack of taco shells. The company said the shells were for training purposes and were not served to customers.
*-- Escaped tarantula grounds Delta plane overnight in Baltimore --*
BALTIMORE - A Delta plane was grounded overnight in Baltimore when a tarantula escaped from its container in the cargo hold and was spotted by baggage handlers. Delta spokesman Brian Kruse said Atlanta-bound Flight 1525 was scheduled to take off from Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport at 7 p.m. Wednesday, but the pilot decided to ground the plane after baggage handlers discovered the loose arachnid in the cargo hold. Kruse said the pilot wanted to ensure the baboon tarantula was the only one loose on the plane. "They were able to capture it, and they contacted the handler" to ensure there hadn't been any other tarantulas in the same cage, Kruse told the Baltimore Sun. "We have to make the safe decision on that -- being bitten by a tarantula is not a good thing," CNN quoted the pilot as saying. The passengers were moved to another aircraft, which departed about three hours behind schedule. A passenger told WRDW-TV a flight crew member told him there were a total 750 tarantulas on board the plane and most of them had gotten loose, but Kruse said only the one spider was ever free and it never left the cargo hold.

Lewis, These PETA people need to seriously get a life. The Monkey did NOT take its own picture as it did not set up a system to do so, then they sue for a Monkey to own the copyright? Get real. PETA should be "People Eating Tasty Animals" -Gary
So left-handed people are evil, are they? That explains a lot about my sister-in-law. -Anne
[
They say that a majority of geniuses are left handed. Of course, I don't know any geniuses, so...]
Lewis, We can't keep I immigrants and drugs from crossing our boarders, what make you think you could keep guns out? We would be better off requiring everyone to be armed, look at the Swiss gun violence rates! -Randy
LEWIS; Hopefully any judge would throw this PETA case out of court. Contrary to what PETA believes, lower species, even primates, are not people and do not have same rights as people. --R.S.

I don't know...TZ is only the second generation in his family to walk upright.]
Lewis, you said, "Michel is accused of theft of an occupied structure." Which house did he steal, or is theft not what I think it is? It seems to me that these almost everyone in America who is not a private citizen is stealing from the private citizens. So there must be various forms of "illegal". -Michael
[
I was a little confused about that myself. I think the definition is; "breaking into an unoccupied structure with the purpose of committing a theft."]
