NEW YORK – It may not smell like a rose but a New York City sewage plant is offering tours for lovers on Valentine's Day.
The tour host and superintendent of the Newtown Creek Wastewater treatment plant in Brooklyn tells the Daily News it'll be a unique date, and one that special someone will never forget.
Jim Pynn says the highlight of the tour will be the plant's giant egg-shaped digesters, which break down the noxious waste into harmless sludge and gas.
Pynn says each Valentine's Day visitor will get a Hershey kiss — and at least something to talk about.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A spat over forgetting to wish his wife a happy birthday landed a South Florida man in jail on domestic violence charges. Joseph Bray pushed his wife (but never hit her) during an argument that began because he had forgotten to wish her a Happy Birthday.
When Judge "Jay" Hurley heard the circumstances that brought 47-year-old Joseph Bray to bond court Tuesday, he issued a unique ruling.
Hurley ordered Bray to buy a birthday card and flowers for his wife before taking her to dinner at Red Lobster and bowling afterward. Hurley ruled the couple should begin seeing a marriage counselor immediately.
Judge Hurley felt this was a "better resolution" since the incident was minor and Bray had no prior arrests. Bray's wife told the judge she's not afraid of her husband.
TOKYO, Japan – If you work at a zoo, it’s important to be prepared in the unlikely instance that a wild animal escapes it’s enclosure. However, the preparations undertaken at Tokyo's Ueno Zoological Gardens may be slightly less than fully effective.
Two zoo workers donned a lifesize paper mache rhino costume and lumbered through the park last week while over a hundred zoo staff, police and paramedics took part in practicing what to do if an actual rhino would ever start ambling slowly through the park.
Although visitors were rushed away from the rhino's path, many stuck around to watch the spectacle - designed to prepare workers for a real-life rampage.
One worker at was even “attacked’ by the life-sized creature, prompting other keepers to rescue their colleague while pushing the animal away with sticks.
After keepers surrounded the rhino with a net, they pretended to tranquilize and capture it, at which point the two staff members inside the rhino were allowed to shed the costume and return to their normal duties.
