An odd home for a pool-cue tip

A British woman lived the last 12 years without realizing she had the tip of a pool cue up her nose.

Did I see a dog in the driver's seat?

A dog in Australia drove a 20-ton RV down the street after releasing the hand brake with its paws. Passerby Phil Newton, 30, says he was startled to see an RV roll by with a dog in the driver’s seat and his paws on the steering wheel. Newton gave chase and was able to board the vehicle and bring it to a stop. Owner Richard McCormack, 62, says his dog, Woodley, a German koolie, has seen him release the hand brake many times. “He was just copying me.”
