Weird News

This story has some holes
Elizabeth City, N.C. ---------------- A North Carolina man celebrated outeating some police officers, only to find out that he couldn't outrun them.
                                                      The Camden County Sheriff's Office had been looking for Bradley Herbert Hardison, 24, of Elizabeth City, in connection with two break-ins.
                                                      Authorities arrested Hardison one day after he won the adult division of a doughnut-eating contest at the Elizabeth City Police Department's National Night Out Against Crime.  Hardison ate eight doughnuts in two minutes, beating a group that included local police officers and firefighters.

Definitely no #duckface in these selfies
London ------------------------------- Monkey see, monkey do.  But when a monkey takes a selfie, who owns the copyright?
                                                     A series of self-portraits taken by Indonesian monkeys has sparked a copyright dispute between Wikipedia and a British wildlife photographer, who wasn't amused that the popular images are being used for free.
                                                     Photographer David Slater said he owns the copyright to the images of crested black macaque monkeys, which were taken in the Indonesian jungle in 2011.
                                                     Slater told the BBC that although the monkeys pressed the button, he had set the self-protraits up by framing them and setting the camera on a tripod.

This San Fran pol just wants to be naked....................
New York --------------------------- New York City's Naked Cowboy may have met his match.
                                                    San Francisco Board of Supervisors candidate George Davis stripped naked in Times Square to campaign for the right to be nude in public.
                                                    Davis spoke out against a 2013 San Francisco public-nudity ban introduced by his opponent, Scott Wiener.  He says nudity is a form of expression.
                                                    After Davis' speech he conducted interviews stark naked.  Then he walked to where artist Andy Golub was body-painting another naked man.

............ and so does this Austrian woman
Vienna ------------------------------- Even in nonprudish Austria, nudity in public places has its price.  A woman faces a fine of more than $1,300 for repeated outings in nothing but a pair of white tennis shoes.
                                                    Police spokesman Johann Baumschlager says the young woman was stopped by police after cycling past officers manning a radar trap on a highway in northeastern Austria.
                                                    Baumschlager said the woman was identified and told to go home and get dressed.  She was also informed she had been charged with disturbing public decency -----a misdemeanor.
                                                    She had previously been sighted in the buff while shopping in a supermarket and at a gas station, filling up her car.
