Pullman police have seized more than a thousand pairs of women's undergarments from the bedroom of a 24-year-old man. Garth M. Flaherty, who says he has some sort of problem, was arrested Sunday after an employee at an apartment complex got suspicious of his presence in the building's laundry room.

Frenchman Alain Robert, a self-styled rock climber, was only 18 floors away from his destination on Tuesday when he was arrested by police personnel. The 44-year-old, who has been nicknamed "Spiderman" by the local media, was climbing one of Malaysia's 88-story Petronas Twin Towers without any safety equipment. As Robert reached the 60th floor of the building he was grabbed by firemen waiting for him. Authorities suspect the feat was unauthorized and they plan to charge Robert with trespassing.

It was apparently the worst weekend ever for a LaGrange man. Harold Jones, who works as a second shift janitor at the Market Street courthouse and other county buildings, spent two days and three nights without food, water or access to a restroom after he was accidentally locked up in a secure room at an upstate courthouse Friday night. Jones was mopping the floor in a meeting room at the Dutchess County Courthouse in Poughkeepsie, when the door of the cell suddenly swung shut, locking him inside, according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.

A few months after enduring an E. coli outbreak, about a dozen rats were seen having a good time Friday in a locked KFC/Taco Bell restaurant in New York City.

Video footage of the rats was seen around the world, broadcast on TV stations and the Internet.

Germany's Thomas Dold, 22, won the Empire State Building Run-up on Tuesday for the second year in a row in 10 minutes, 25 seconds, a few seconds over his 2006 winning time.

The age group ranged from 18 to 77 in the 30th annual race up the famed skyscraper of New York. However, the star of the event was 77-year-old Al Puma who raced up to 86 flights even after four knee surgeries.
