Two men went to an up-scale Sushi restaurant posing as a couple and feasted on freshwater prawns, strip steaks, several appetizers and top shelf drinks before fleeing the scene leaving behind an unpaid $410 tab. However the men were caught only three hours later after they ended up dining in another restaurant owned by the same person. Thom Pham, the owner of the Temple restaurant, said that after finding out the pair's fraud he had just wished to see them again. "I was so mad," Pham told local television station KARE-TV news. "This is just not right. "

Accepting the challenge of a friend to pot 108 holes in the game of golf, Beatrice High School golf coach Dick Stuart, middle school teacher Ben Essam and golf pro Joel Brueggemann made a record of sorts by playing 110 holes, a bit more than the original goal. When their friend Jim Edwards said it was impossible to play six rounds of golf in one day, the trio decided to start at 5:45 a. m. and finished two more than six rounds of 18 holes at 9:15 p. m. The first few holes were literally played in the morning fog.

A 28-year-old woman from Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, who has a history of run-ins with deer, was surprised this weekend when a deer took his revenge and struck back at her while she participated in a race. Kandi Hanson, who destroyed her first car and damaged two others in collisions with deer, was struck by a spooked deer that darted out of the woods as she approached the halfway mark of the 10-kilometer Sour Grapes Half and Half run Saturday.

A 10-day suspension was not enough to teach a Grand Rapids, Michigan school boy a lesson. Travis Griffin needed more punishment, according to his mother, Veronica. While horsing around at school, Griffin put his teacher in a headlock. The 15-year-old was promptly suspended but to make sure he never did it again, his mother made him wear a sign on his back and pick up trash along five miles of roadway, according to Associated Press reports.

Stacy Snyder's long-cherished dream to become a teacher was shattered just a day before she was to graduate from Pennsylvania's Millersville University. The university denied Snyder a teaching degree on the eve of graduation, apparently because her MySpace photo rendered her unfit for the job. Snyder, 27, was severely shaken last year when she learned that authorities at Millersville University had decided not to award her a teaching degree because a picture of herself posted on her MySpace profile promoted underage drinking. She was instead granted a degree in English.
