  • Armed robbers' car stolen during Colorado heist, police say

    Three gun-wielding thieves in Colorado allegedly robbed a cheque-cashing business, but, before they could escape, a fourth person stole their getaway car, police said. Commerce City police arrested two of three suspects on Saturday, describing the series of events as "an unexpected and ironic twist". Adding to the irony, their car may have "already been stolen", police wrote on Facebook. "We don't know." Police say an investigation is ongoing. On Saturday morning, three armed and masked people attempted to rob Hi Lo Check Cashing, the Commerce City Police Department said in a statement. They are believed to be under 18, according to local news, citing a spokesperson for the department. "As the trio was robbing the business…a fourth criminal stole their getaway vehicle," police said. Before the alleged thieves could flee on foot, "officers infiltrated the area and quickly chased" them down, police said.​ "We are relieved no one was injured," police said. The Shakespearean-like coincidence of robbers getting robbed at the scene was not lost upon Facebook users who commented on the Commerce City police's Facebook post. One woman asked if this was from Grand Theft Auto, with a laughing emoji. "What a plot twist," another user wrote, to which the police responded, "we can't make this stuff up". Car thefts have been on the rise in the US, up nearly 11% in 2022, according to the latest FBI data. Meanwhile, check cashing stores, which have hundreds of dollars of cash on hand, are frequent robbery targets.​

          • What makes Varespladib promising is that it blocks phospholipase-A2, a highly toxic protein that is present in 95% of all snake venoms and plays a direct role in life-threatening tissue destruction, catastrophic bleeding, paralysis and respiratory failure. Proponents say the small synthetic molecule has the potential to stop or reverse neurological damage, as well as restore normal blood clotting ability when administered immediately after envenoming.

            my god I cant believe how much anti-venom costs. But this pill can be taken into the field and buy victims time to get to the hospital

              when I was a kid in Poway California walking thru brush I stepped on something that felt like a water filled fire hose. I took a few steps and looked around and whatever it was disappeared. It could have been a rattler or it could have been a king snake that just fed on a rattler . In Marin county I saw a snake coming down off the hillside slithering into a drainage grate. It was so long I couldn't see the head or the tail. Course I was a kid so I'm sure it wasn't as big as my eyes made it to be, but it was a huge snake. Hell, could have been a boa or python.

            • Ronny Kay was considered an important figure in Montreal’s Chinese community. He was a businessman, a part-time actor, and his friends and family say he was active in his neighbourhood. That was until Sept. 17, 2022 – the day he had an argument with his girlfriend. He seemed to be in distress, and police were called in. Then, Kay was shot dead in the middle of the street. One year later, community members say they still aren’t clear on just why Kay was shot.

                  • Scientists at Nottingham Trent University wanted to investigate the anti-cancer properties of carnosine against cells derived from both primary and metastatic prostate cancer—where the cancer began and where it had spread to another part of the body.


                    Carnosine is produced by the body and is found in meat. The body's enzymes break it down quickly so they're looking at ways to bypass that problem

                      • Exploding toilet at a Dunkin’ store in Florida left a customer filthy and injured, lawsuit claims

                        ​ ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A customer has filed a negligence lawsuit against Dunkin’, claiming he was injured by an exploding toilet at one of the coffee chain’s locations in central Florida.
                        Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Orlando, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” following the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida, a year ago.
                        After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.
                        When contacted Thursday by email for more details on Kerouac’s injuries, his attorney, Scott Spradley, said he was tied up and couldn’t answer the questions until the following day. The Canton, Massachusetts-based company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
                        The lawsuit says Kerouac suffered “bodily injury,” and he has required mental health care and counseling since the incident in January 2022.
