Maybe Vladimir Putin will say the Golf website was not hacked and Trump will believe him.

Donald Trump's golf scores hacked, false scores added to USGA website
Bleacher Report, May 18 2019

A hacker yesterday entered four scores into the USGA's Golf Handicap & Information Network under the profile of United States President Donald Trump. The fake scores of 101, 100, 108 and 102 were posted using Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York, Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach in Florida and Cochise Golf Course in Arizona as the round locations. The false scores have since been removed.

This man's complaining? If I thought this intruder might come to my house, I'd leave the front door unlocked!

The Coach & Horses pub at 29 Greek Street in London now has a nudist license. The pub is also vegan/vegetarian. If you ever dreamed of being naked and eating tofu burgers alongside other naked people, now is your chance.

This happened in October but the news wasn't made public until this week. The Canadian man said the blood-sucking leeches were for his "personal use." He must be one of those anti-vaxxer fanatics.

The alligator had broken a low window and was in the kitchen. Maybe he was looking for some Gatorade.

Last month a Massachusetts man discovered (May 23, above) that his house had been broken into and the intruder had cleaned it. I wonder if this house cleaner in Vermont was inspired by the Massachusetts man. Heck, it might even be the same person!

A Canadian hotel has served more than 86,000 "Sourtoe cocktails" containing a mummified human toe. Sometimes the toe gets stolen and then a new one has to be located. Yeah, I'd hate to see such a charming tradition come to an end because of a toe thief.
