A Chicago cop decided it was a good idea to run the Allstate Hot Chocolate 15K in 50 pounds of SWAT gear. But that’s not the interesting part of the story. As he was approaching the finish line, someone called for a medic. It turned out a woman was in cardiac arrest, so he had to stop running and start doing chest compressions. Once EMS came to evacuate the woman, he finished the race. Still wearing his 50 pounts of SWAT gear. Once he had finished the race, he immediately proposed to his girlfriend.

A couple in England couldn’t agree on what to serve at their wedding, so they came up with a compromise: They ordered Domino’s Pizza. The order was 30 large pizzas, 20 garlic breads, 20 boxes of chicken strips, and 20 boxes of wedges. The total cost ended up being $450, which from what I hear is way cheaper than anyone could ever hope to pay for a legitimate wedding reception.
