Two Men Charged With Stealing Entire Bridge

Two brothers have been arrested in Lawrence County, Penn., for stealing a bridge. Yep.

A whole bridge! Covert's Crossing Bridge, which is privately owned and made of steel. The bridge burglars "used a torch to tear [it] apart" sometime "late last month or early this month" (guess it wasn't being used that much). They've been charged with "criminal mischief, theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy"; the bridge is valued at $100,000, we guess for the materials, though possibly it's worth a little more because it's supposed to be haunted:

Some people in Lawrence County believe Covert's Crossing might have been haunted. The historical society, in a video about haunted spots in the county, says some residents claim that a beautifully dressed woman haunts the bridge on prom night.

Video: Sleazy Question On Family Feud

Here's Magen, a pastor's wife, up on the Family Feud, answering a question about "things you put in your mouth but don't swallow" with the word, "sperm." A pastor's wife! Saying that word! On the television, which kids sometimes watch. The end of our depraved species is nigh.

Magen seems so confident that her answer's going to show up on the big board. But when embarrassed Steve Harvey checks to see if she's right, the big Red X of Wrong sounds. Somebody's way out of touch with mainstream America (accurately represented by Family Feud survey respondents)

Gruesome Video Of McDonald’s Cashier Attacking Irate Customers

A McDonald’s cashier with a history of violence was charged with two counts of felony assault after bashing in the head of a customer with a metal rod. The entire disturbing incident was caught on camera, and posted to YouTube.

31-year-old Rayon McIntosh was arguing with two female customers over the authenticity of a $50 bill they paid with, when one of women slapped him. She then proceeded to walk behind the register while the other customer jumped over the counter.

McIntosh can then be seen walking into the food-preparation area, emerging with a metal rod which he uses to severely beat the women. Co-workers attempted to intervene, but to no avail. McIntosh, who spent several years in prison for killing a high school classmate, was arrested and is currently being held on $40,000 bail. The two women were both charged with menacing, disorderly conduct and trespassing. The owner of the Greenwich Village McDonald’s where the assault took place released a statement saying McIntosh was no longer with the company.

Hockey Stick Seller Wants More Money For Stick Sold Three Years Ago

BERWICK, Nova Scotia -- A Canadian man who sold the world's oldest hockey stick for nearly $1,000 three years ago said he now thinks he should receive more money.

George Ferneough, who sold the stick to Mark Presley of Berwick, Nova Scotia, for $987, said he thinks he should get more money now that Presley is planning to sell the item and experts said it could fetch up to $2 million, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Friday.

"I think I should get a little cut," he said Thursday.

Presley, who said he visited Charlie Moffatt, grandson of the stick's creator, before his death to learn the item's history, had tests performed on the maple stick to prove it was carved between 1835 and 1838, making it the oldest hockey stick in the world. The Rutherford hockey stick, a stick carved around 1852, sold for $2.17 million on eBay in 2001
