A teenager walked into a 7-Eleven in Hollywood, Fla., brandishing a rifle and bullets and announced a stickup.
But all the 16-year-old got was arrested – after customers jumped him as he struggled to load the rifle.

“It was like twice as big as the gun will fit.”

What a dummy! This British Beatles fan bought a life-size wax figure of Ringo Starr and left the top half on a major highway.
Alex Dyke, a DJ from the Isle of Wight, split his 5-foot-8 Ringo dummy in half to drive it home from Northamptonshire. When he got a flat en route, he removed the upper half from his car trunk – and then forgot to put it back after changing the tire.
Now all he has is a Ringo dummy that’s half the man it used to be.
