Nurse Tricked into Changing Diaper of Adult Man

Nurse tricked into changing diaper adult man

When a New Hampshire nurse replied to a craigslist ad in which a father was asking for help with his brain damaged adult son, she saw no harm in that and went to the house. There, she found a grown man with a dirty diaper. A father, however, was nowhere to be found.

She wouldn’t just leave the poor man without changing the diaper, right? Nope, she didn’t. Thinking he was left alone and unable to care for himself, she changed his diaper alright.

She became a little suspicious when no one called her back to arrange for future visits and called the police, only to find out that the dirty diaper she changed belonged to a man with a perfectly functioning brain (well, sort of).

Investigators in Hooksett say Eric Carrier impersonated his own father and posted classified advertisements on Craigslist seeking an in-home caregiver to assist his son, who Carrier claimed had been injured in a car accident.

"He had no disability. He wasn’t in a car accident," Hooksett Police Detective Janet Bouchard told the Union Leader.

 The 23-year old man has been charged with indecent exposure.

Mobster Squirrel Muscling in on Vermont Neighborhood?

March 24, 2011

Kevin McDonald was roughed up while shoveling snow.

An unnamed woman was treated at a hospital after she was attacked.

No one can confirm if these are the activities of a single gray squirrel gone rogue or the precursor of an all-out animal revolution against mankind.

Vermont Public Health Veterinarian Robert Johnson believes that the fluffy-tailed rodent fears no human, and warns that he just may “go ballistic” when he confronts people he does not know.

Pet owners may want to turn a quizzical eye toward their domesticated creatures for clues, but please do not arouse suspicion, as the extent of the phenomenon is not yet fully known.

Meanwhile, just go about your day-to-day business and keep an eye on your favorite news outlets for further information.

Snack Rage Hits England

March 07, 2011

In a trend that promises to put bakeries on guard worldwide, bizarre occurrences of tantrums over missing sweets has jumped from Girl Scout cookies in Florida to cupcakes in the UK.

An unidentified woman, rather ironically described as “a strawberry blonde,” walked into a cake shop in Cardiff knowing exactly what she wanted: the very popular treat known as the “sweet tooth” fairy cake.

Unfortunately, that particular cupcake had just sold out.

Before the proprietor could tell her that fresh cupcakes were ready for the baking, she reacted rather poorly to the news.

She smashed glass display cases. She threw (presumably less popular) cupcakes at other customers. She leaned over the counter and grabbed the owner's hair. And then, like that last sweet treat you try to hide in the back of your fridge – she was gone.

To add to the inappropriateness of the woman's actions, her display of ill temper was witnessed by two young children who accompanied her.

The cake shop owner could only muse afterward: “You expect a certain amount of risk running a bar or pub, but not in a cupcake shop.”

Of course, that was before this baffling outbreak of Dessert Dementia.
