An attempted robbery at a Capitol Hill home took a bizarre turn when the intruder apparently got emotional and left with nothing but a glass of wine and some hugs. Michael Rabdau, 51, was enjoying dinner with his family during a get together at a friend's place last month when a hooded man slid in through an open gate and pointed the gun at his teenage daughter demanding money.

While everyone froze, one of the guests stood up and offered the man to have a glass of wine with the dining group.

A judge ruled in favor of a dry cleaner Monday in a bizarre lawsuit that saw the small business sued for $54 million over a pair of missing pants.

In a bizarre chase for zoo officials, a spider monkey not only escaped from a Mexico City zoo but also boarded a bus. If this was not enough for his antics, the monkey also attacked a passenger during its ride.

Head Honchos at Google Inc. thought it would be funny to pull an elaborate prank on their customers for April Fools Day telling them they could get free Internet access through their toilet.

Randy Thornton's swimming adventure earlier this month was skewed after one of his fellow swimmers, a humpback whale, flipped its tail. The 50-year-old diver had to be hospitalized for a broken femur at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Center in Sandy.

The incident happened on March 1 during an excursion trip in the Dominican Republic. Thornton and 17 other divers were on the last dive of the last day of their weeklong trip to the reefs called the Silver Banks, an area where divers are allowed to swim with humpback whales.
