HEADLINES

Australia - Earth's Frat House :
The organizers of an annual carnival in Melbourne, Australia have come under criticism for organizing an event they're calling the "Midget Cup," in which Dwarfs will race for a prize. The organizers have apologized for the unethical event, and have replaced it with an amputee potato sack race.

Family Matters :
A police officer in Arkansas has made headlines after tasering his own intoxicated brother during a police raid on a local hot spot. The odds of something like this happening in Arkanasas are about 85%.

The Perfect Crime :
Police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana are on the search for a single suspect who robbed a convenient store last week and stole only 11 cases of beer. The authorities don't want to jump to conclusions, but it could be the same man who robbed 1,000 solo cups and 6 dozen ping pong balls earlier this month.

Anne Frank.0 :
The only known footage of Anne Frank, the young Holocaust victim who's diary has become a celebrated work of non-fiction, appeared on YouTube earlier this week. The young Anne Frank sits on a window sill, stares out a window, and then dances to Kelis's "Milkshake" on a wobbly table.
