For God's sake
New York --- A New York City man claims that a credit reporting agency falsely reported that he had no financial history because his first name is God.
                       God Gazarov of Brooklyn said in a lawsuit that Equifax has refused to correct its system to recognize his name as legitimate, according to the New York Post.  He said an Equifax customer-service representative even suggested that he change his name to resolve the issue.  Gazarov, 26, is a Russian native who is named after his grandfather.  Gazarov said he has high scores with two other major credit agencies.

What a croc!
Roseville, Calif. ----- Don't shed any tears for a crocodile that was captured wandering outside a pet store at a Northern California shopping mall.
                                   California Fish and Wildlife officials have taken custody of the croc, are feeding it rainbow trout and will likely donate it to a zoo.  Police said the crocodile was apparently left outside by someone who didn't want it anymore.
                                   The animal had grown to 4-feet long, and its jaws had been wrapped shut with heavy-duty tape.  There was a note identifying it as a Nile crocodile and requesting someone "call rescue."  Police said no one was hurt when the animal was picked up with the help of a catch pole typically used to nab stray dogs.

N.C. man should learn to toe the line
Lincolnton, N.C. ------ A North Carolina man who sucked an unwilling woman's toes inside a Wal-Mart has been sentenced to 60 days in jail.
                                     Michael Anthony Brown apologized for his actions during his court appearance.  He was convicted of assault, but a judge agreed to subtract the three weeks Brown has spent behind bars from the sentence.  Police said Brown, 31, told the victim he was a podiatry student and asked her to try on shoes for him in the shoe department of the Wal-Mart in Lincolnton last month.
                                     Investigators said Brown eventually stuck the woman's foot in his mouth and sucked on her toes, then offered to pay for her groceries after she appeared outraged.  Brown was apprehended at his home in Concord and turned over to Lincolnton police.

She tried to weed out bad pot.......... her bad pot
Lufkin, Texas -------- Police in East Texas have arrested a woman after she called them to complain about the quality of the marijuana she had purchased from a dealer.
                                   Lufkin police Sgt. David Casper said an officer went to the home of Evelyn Hamilton, 37, to hear her complaint that the dealer refused to return her money after she objected that the drug was substandard.  Casper said she pulled the small amount of marijuana from her bra when the officer asked if she still had it.
                                   She was arrested on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.  Hamilton said she spent $40 on "seeds and residue."  She said she called police when she got no satisfaction from the dealer's family.
