Friday Show Prep – Ill-Conceived Prank Edition

Guy ran across an unlocked police cruiser and decide it was a good idea to move it. He said he was just trying to be funny. He’s probably lucky he wasn’t shot. I’m sure police laughed as they arrested him. I was tempted to laugh this off as a prank, but then I saw the guy was 24 years old. So he’s a little old to think doing something like that is a good idea. What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done just because you thought it would be funny?

Death From Above Update: Scientists say they’ve discovered one of the largest flying animals to have ever lived. Cryodrakon boreas, which translates roughly to “frozen dragon of the north wind,” the now-extinct predator had a wingspan of up to 10 meters, or about 33 feet. That’s roughly three times the size of the world’s biggest bird now alive, the wandering albatross, and about as wide as an F-16 fighter jet. “Frozen dragon of the north wind,” may be the greatest name anyone has come up with for anything ever.
