Skeleton crew: California driver nabbed for using carpool lane with plastic effigy
Drivers looking to beat California’s endless traffic can use designated carpool lanes, provided they have others in their car. But there’s one pesky requirement: those other people have to be alive. That was not the case for a driver stopped this weekend near San Jose for using a fake companion, police say. Riding in the passenger seat was a plastic skeleton. In an apparent effort to add to the illusion, the skeleton was wearing a mask with a giant mouth, reminiscent of the Scream films.

“While #spookyseason is upon us, it’s important to remember that decorations being transported in the passenger seat do not qualify to meet carpool requirements,” the California highway patrol (CHP) wrote on Facebook. The driver has not been publicly identified.

Indonesia:

Surfer dies after reportedly being impaled by swordfish

An Italian surfer died last week after she was by a swordfish while she was surfing in Indonesia, local media reported.

Giulia Manfrini, 36, of northern Italy, was in the water in Mentawai Islands Regency, an area that draws surfers from around the world, according to the Indonesian news agency Antara.

“Unexpectedly, a swordfish jumped towards Manfrini and struck her squarely in the chest,” Lahmudin Siregar, acting head of the Mentawai Islands’ Disaster Management Agency, told Antara on Friday.

After they saw Manfrini’s signal for help, two witnesses provided first aid and took her to a local medical center, the agency reported, citing police.

Woman Who Left Boyfriend Zipped in a Suitcase Is Convicted of Murder

A Florida woman who zipped her boyfriend in a suitcase and then left him to die in it was found guilty of second-degree murder on Friday, according to prosecutors.

The woman, Sarah Boone, 47, told prosecutors that she was drinking wine with her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., 42, in their home in Winter Park in February 2020 when he voluntarily put himself inside the blue rolling suitcase during a game of hide-and-seek.

Arizona man stored his deceased father in a freezer for years to keep their home
A man in Arizona told detectives he put his deceased father’s body in a freezer and moved it around the state for four years — all to keep a roof over his head, police say. Joseph Hill was arrested last week on multiple charges, including concealing a body in his backyard and failing to report the death of someone not under the care of a healthcare provider, according to police.

According to court documents obtained by CNN, Tempe police received an online tip on October 22 alleging the 51-year-old Arizona native was keeping his dead father, Joseph Hill Sr., in a freezer in the backyard of his residence. The tip described the freezer to be covered in a tarp and blankets. Police visited Hill at his home the same day but were barred from inspecting the freezer, according to a probable cause statement in the documents. The defendant claimed his father had passed away in Oregon four years ago. Detectives on the case attempted to verify Hill Sr.’s record of death but were unable to do so, according to the statement. They instead found records showing Hill’s father was still the owner of the home and that he was collecting Social Security benefits up until March 2023.

Detectives arrived at Hill’s residence days later after obtaining a search warrant, according to the statement. Upon explaining the terms of the warrant, Hill’s “demeanor began to change,” police said, and he revealed there would be “something in the freezer.” After being read his Miranda Rights, Hill told police his father passed away at the residence four years ago, according to the statement. The next day, he said he bought a freezer with the intention of eventually burying his father in a plot of land he purchased in Strawberry, Arizona, the documents noted. Hill told police he did not want to report Hill Sr.’s death because he was not on the deed of the Tempe home and was afraid to lose his residence, the statement said.

Over the past four years, Hill said he intermittently lost power in both his Strawberry home and the residence in Tempe due to fires, causing him to move the freezer around, the statement said. On several occasions, Hill also attempted to bury the freezer in the desert, but he claimed that there were “always people out there,” according to documents. The freezer has been in his backyard, without power, for roughly four to six months, the statement said. Detectives removed layers of tarp, blankets, saran wrap and duct tape to find human skeletal remains in the freezer, as well as an “extensive amount of biological matter,” according to documents.

First 43 monkeys got loose, now there’s an emu on the run. Is SC the ‘new Florida’?
Last week in South Carolina, people were searching for 43 monkeys. Now they’re searching for a loose emu. Residents of Loris and Green Sea shared photos of the large bird running around the countryside of Horry County. The emu has been surviving on its own since the beginning of summer, according to a Facebook post. Sam Morace posted on Facebook on June 4 that her father’s emu escaped its enclosure. If the emu is spotted in Horry County, Morace has asked people to not kill it and to contact her. The bird has not been captured as of Nov. 11, said Morace in a Facebook message to The Sun News.

“First monkeys and now an emu!” Greg Lucas, a spokesperson for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, said in a text to The Sun News. “SC may be the new Florida!” Earlier this fall, there were reports of a monkey on the loose in North Myrtle Beach, The Sun News previously reported. There were also over 40 monkeys that broke out of a facility in Beaufort County last week, according to The Island Packet.

‘Bear Attack’ Exposed as Insurance Fraudster in Animal Costume
Police arrested four people in Los Angeles after they staged phony animal attacks on a trio of luxury cars as part of a failed insurance fraud scheme that included donning a bear suit. The suspects told the California Department of Insurance that a bear had entered their 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost, worth nearly six figures, and destroyed its interior while it was parked at Lake Arrowhead, near San Bernardino National Forest, according to a press release. In the claim they filed, the fraudsters even included a video with surveillance camera footage that they said showed the bear wreaking havoc. But the insurance department wasn’t fooled. “Upon further scrutiny of the video, the investigation determined the bear was actually a person in a bear costume,” it said in a press release. The department said it showed the footage to biologists at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to confirm that it showed a human, and not a bear. Detectives reportedly also uncovered two additional false claims the fraudsters filed with different insurance companies, also alleging a bear attack—but on two other valuable vehicles: a 2015 Mercedes G63 AMG and a 2022 Mercedes E350.

Escaped primates open can of worms for South Carolina's Alpha Genesis research lab

The name brings to mind lots of scary movies.

The lab now houses over 6,000 primates used for medical research (no wonder they try to escape). Alpha Genesis expanded its breeding program after China banned exports of primates in 2020.

Focus Features has announced that they have for sale a $20,000 Nosferatu coffin bed. (I actually got their email announcing this since I'm on their mailing list.) It's eight feet long and hand crafted. Unfortunately, it probably won't arrive before Christmas. You can pay extra to guarantee a nighttime delivery so you can have it ready for use before the sun rises.

Florida Man Charged With Attempted Murder After Shooting Tourists He Thought Were Palestinian

A Florida man is set to be arraigned on two counts of attempted murder Tuesday after allegedly shooting two men he believed were Palestinian, according to Miami Beach police. Authorities confirmed that the victims were tourists from Israel.

Mordechai Brafman, 27, was arrested in Miami Beach on Saturday night after allegedly firing 17 shots into the victims’ car, hitting one man in the shoulder and grazing another in the forearm, according to a police affidavit.

Man With Reptile Hidden in Pants Collared by Cops After He Tried to Board Flight
A traveler was found to have a small turtle concealed in his pants after airport staff discovered something hard in his groin area after a pat-down. The man was attempting to board a plane at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey last week when the body scanner flagged something unusual under his waistline. After a pat-down the staffer determined something rigid and around five inches long was stowed in his drawers. The flyer fessed up and pulled the reptile, wrapped in a blue towel, from his trousers. He missed his flight and was escorted away by police, the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. The animal, a red-ear slider turtle, appeared unharmed and will be turned over to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “We have seen travelers try to conceal knives and other weapons on their person, in their shoes and in their luggage, however I believe this is the first time we have come across someone who was concealing a live animal down the front of his pants,” Thomas Carter, the TSA’s Federal Security Director for New Jersey, said.
During the patdown, the TSA agent asked: "Is that a turtle in your pants or are you just happy to see me?"

3 teen sisters arrested for trying to kill their mom after she turned off the Wi-Fi, HCSO says

Thanksgiving is going to be tough this year....

having to cut the Turkey with plastic utensils and all.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Three teenage girls are in custody after allegedly planning to kill their mother because she turned off the Wi-Fi in their home.

Harris County deputies say the incident occurred on the 3400 block of Barkers Crossing Avenue overnight on Sunday.

The girls, ages 14, 15, and 16, reportedly grabbed kitchen knives and chased their mother through the house and into the street, attempting to stab her. Authorities say one of the teens struck the mother with a brick. Their grandmother was also knocked down while trying to protect the mother.

Despite the violent attack, neither woman sustained serious injuries.

All three teens were arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. All have been booked in the Harris County Juvenile facility.

A man in Norway has filed a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority after he did a ChatGPT search on himself and "learned" that he had killed his two children and was sentenced to 21 years in prison. While the information about the ages of his children was correct, the remainder of the article was completely made up.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0kgydkr516o

For what it's worth, I signed on to ChatGPT and did a search for myself. It yielded the following disappointingly non-salacious information about me. Much of the description is taken verbatim from my website:
Steve Silver is the owner and primary content creator of Silver Screen Videos, a website dedicated to movie, book, and entertainment news, commentary, and reviews. With over 50 years of passion for cinema, Steve watches more than 200 films annually in theaters and maintains a personal library exceeding 3,000 films and TV shows on DVD and VHS. ​

Professionally, Steve is a licensed attorney and a member of the Georgia and Florida Bars. He has accumulated over 40 years of experience in legal, business, writing, and editing roles across various sectors, including insurance, financial services, intellectual property, and telecommunications. Although retired, Steve remains available for contract and freelance assignments in legal consulting, editing, and writing. ​

In addition to his work with Silver Screen Videos, Steve previously managed an online used video and collectibles business for over a decade, which served as the predecessor to the current website. ​

Notably, on August 19, 2001, Steve appeared as a contestant on the ABC TV game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" ​

A man in Norway has filed a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority after he did a ChatGPT search on himself and "learned" that he had killed his two children and was sentenced to 21 years in prison. While the information about the ages of his children was correct, the remainder of the article was completely made up.

For what it's worth, I signed on to ChatGPT and did a search for myself. It yielded the following disappointingly non-salacious information about me. Much of the description is taken verbatim from my website:

I identify more with the freshman at Northeast Mississippi Community College. I might have a chance of pulling that one off.

Going overseas for this one:

Climber Rescued Twice From Mt. Fuji After Returning for Lost Phone
A mountain climber had to be rescued from Mt. Fuji twice in the space of a week after he returned to the same spot days later to retrieve his lost phone. The 27-year-old mountaineer, a Chinese college student living in Japan, first made the ascent on Tuesday but had to be rescued from the 12,000-foot peak after losing his crampons—a spiked device attached to the bottom of climbing shoes which allows for better traction. But on Friday, just days after being airlifted from the summit, the hapless climber returned to Mt. Fuji in a vain attempt to recover a backpack containing some of his lost belongings, including his phone—and had to be rescued again. After scaling 9,842 feet, the climber developed altitude sickness, and was once again airlifted back to safety. It is unknown whether he recovered his lost phone.
