Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03) 

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Authorities say something that looks like lungs have been found on a sidewalk in south Los Angeles County.

Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Dean tells the Los Angeles Times that a citizen called Sunday evening to report organs on the sidewalk on Avalon Boulevard in an unincorporated area.

He says he doesn't know what they are but deputies turned them over to coroner's officials.

Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter says a doctor has not looked at what was found yet. He says an examination will be conducted Monday or Tuesday.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Who says toothpicks are not valuable?

Police in Georgia are trying to figure out who stole about 400,000 toothpicks worth nearly $3,000 from a manufacturer in Athens.

Police tell the Athens Banner-Herald someone took six cases from Armond's Manufacturing Company Inc. about two weeks ago, and another seven cases disappeared last weekend.

Each case contains 288 packages of 100 toothpicks.

Police say there were no signs of forced entry. The owner believes a current or former employee might be responsible.

Two employees told the owner they saw a man selling containers of Armond's toothpicks at a flea market last weekend.

Allentown, PENNSYLVANIA - A 29-year-old woman drove into a man and a boy in Allentown on Friday and then used a stun gun on the man's son when he came to help.

Yardley Joy Frantz of Allentown was trying to flee the collision at 6:55 p.m. in the 700 block of Clay Street, near N. Seventh Street, when Pedro Gonzalez Jr. confronted her and she zapped him in the chest with the stun gun, police said.

Allentown police were able to track down the woman by her personalized license plate, which read ZOMBIE.

Police were dispatched to Clay Street on a report of a hit-and-run pedestrian collision.

Pedro Gonzalez Jr. told police a car hit his father, Pedro Gonzalez Sr., and his nephew Carlos Correa, who was riding a toy car. Gonzalez Jr. confronted the driver when she tried to leave and she used the stun gun on him.

Other witnesses reported seeing the hit-and-run collision and the stun gun attack. They described the driver as a woman in pajama pants and took down her license plate.

One witness said the woman turned onto Clay Street, came to a stop and then accelerated into a crowd of people, hitting the man and boy.

Police tracked the car to Frantz's home at 604 N. Sixth St. She was bleeding next to her right eye and trying to report a domestic violence incident.

Frantz told police she didn't know who was driving her car, but Jared Billman, who was her passenger at the time of the collision, told police the truth and also told them she had a stun gun in her glove compartment.

Frantz was charged with three counts each of simple assault and harassment and one count each of aggravated assault, accidents involving death or personal injury, disorderly conduct, careless driving and failing to stop and give information or render aid.

She was also charged with three counts related to the stun gun, including using an incapacitation device. She was released after posting $20,000 bail.

Gonzales Sr. was taken to the hospital; the boy was not.

Cats are Alien Spy Recording Devices - Created to try and imitate dogs, but they do so poorly.‏

That's right, brothers and sisters, I am here on ATS to steer you to the awful truth about our feline 'friends.' They are biological transmitters working as spies for our Alien Overlords. Take these facts into account and reach your own conclusion... Beware, what you are about to read will forever change the way you see these minions of our extraterrestrial oppressors.

1. There is no documentation before Ancient Egypt that mentions the existence of Cats, and IN Ancient Egypt, they are worshipped as Gifts from The Gods.

2. Science is baffled by a cat's purr, and cannot determine how the sound is produced. (Feedback, much?)

3. If you hold a cat's ears back and describe what you see, it is a perfect match to the classic 'Grey'. Almond shaped eyes, small mouth, small nose.

Freaked out yet? How about these:

4. A cat can see exponentially better than you. Making it appear that it must be more advanced evolutionarily speaking.

5. Ever watch a cat wake from a deep sleep and run out of the room in an instant? Transmissions from the mothership coming in, and must be alone.

6. All things that come out of cats are totally unnatural. (Not of this earth.)

Still not convinced? I got a few more for the more skeptical among you:

7. Cats survive situations that any Earthbound animal would surely perish in. How can a cat fall out of a four story building backwards, and land on its feet? (Anti gravity properties)

8. If you die, your cats will eat you. Not really a link between cats and Aliens, but still pretty creepy.

9. Ever wake up and your cat was sitting on your chest, staring at you? Taking your will not to do their bidding and dreaming of the day their Alien handlers once again fit you for your yolk and chains.
