A taxi cab was tasked to keep a human heart for few hours at its dispatch office after an airline refused to keep it overnight at the Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids. The human heart, which was en route to a tissue processing company in Atlanta, was denied delivery by officials from Aeropoint Delivery Solutions of Marietta, Georgia. The cab company, however, said that it will keep the heart as the ice in the packaging to keep it intact.

Mysterious chunks of ice fell out of the sky and onto Dubuque, Iowa on Thursday. One 50-pound chunk fell through a woman's roof, others ripped through trees. Authorities say that whether the ice dropped from a passing plane or formed naturally in the atmosphere that either situation was rare. That is good, because the falling ice chunks rattled residents.

The first of some 29,000 rubber ducks that have been circling the world's oceans for 15 years are expected to wash up on a beach in England sometime soon. The toys fell overboard from a cargo ship bound for Seattle from China in 1992, according to the BBC.

Police are on the lookout for the men responsible for a rash of armed robberies targeting ice cream trucks. Some ice cream truck drivers who usually ride around apartment complexes in MetroWest Orlando, an area known for skyrocketing crime rates, said they will never return out of fear.
