A Minneapolis man got as lucky as one can get after being shot six times.

Antonio Vazquez, 72, who has mesmerized Mexicans with his Gandalf-like white beard and tarot-card readings, predicts war in the Middle East, chaos in Venezuela and less drug violence in Mexico.

These guys must have acorns in their heads.

Seven firefighters in one English town rushed in three fire engines to a local pond — all in a desperate bid to save a squirrel that had gotten stuck on a small island.

No telling how much all that cost, but can you really put a price on that kind of cuteness?

Becky Adams, 44, plans to open a bordello just for the handicapped. It will have special access ramps and wheelchair-sized doors.
