– Proving that there can be too much of a good thing, a man in Sweden was knocked unconscious when a cart loaded with bacon fell on him. In all, the man was hit with 500 to 600 kilos (that’s about 1,102 to  1,323 pounds, for those who don’t use the metric system or regularly handle drugs) of bacon. I will admit it: that is too much bacon.

– A man in San Antonio allegedly faked his own kidnapping so that he could go “party with  friends.” His wife contacted police the night of Tuesday, October 8 to report that two masked men came into their home and took her husband at gunpoint. After a helicopter joined about a dozen deputies in the search, he showed back up at his house. He has been charged with filing a false police report, which is a fun twist since it was his wife who actually made the report, albeit innocently.
