I think the following story could only happen in Canada (ok maybe Germany as well). Naturally it involves beer – our favorite beverage!
Usually when a plane makes an unscheduled stop it’s because there’s a fire onboard, it has engine trouble or there’s some kind of medical emergency … but not in Canada! Nope! A beer theft on board an Air Canada Jazz flight on Tuesday caused the plane to divert.
Even the Mounties got involved!
Steve Holmes, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable told AFP that a passenger had stolen beer from a beverage cart and then tried to flush the empty cans down the jet’s toilet in order to dispose of the evidence. (Yeah like him wobbling around the craft drunk wouldn’t be noticed!)
The flight from Vancouver to Fort McMurray, Alberta was diverted to Kelowna, British Columbia, and police arrested the 23-year-old suds thief.
The man now faces charges of causing a disturbance on an aircraft, Holmes said.
Well folks, now you know what will happen if you steal booze on a Canadian flight!

Remember hearing about the tornado that hit Minn. at the end of May? Well, residents of Hugo, Minn have stated that they saw some strange happenings during the tornado.
Jason Akins said the twister unwound a roll of toilet paper in his bathroom — draped it across the countertop, then rewound it in the sink. The toilet paper didn’t even rip.
“All I could say was, ‘You have got to be kidding me,’” Akins recalled.
Now isn’t that strange? I wonder if it was as tightly rolled as it had originally been?
Oddly the winds didn’t touch the dishes of cat food and water that were set out for his pet, yet they ripped away his roof and overturned the sofas.
It’s almost like the Tornado has a personality … for example Terry Clarkin said that the Hugo tornado picked up and stuck four steak knives in his yard. The knives landed in a perfect square with the blades stuck in the earth about three inches deep.
Across the street, a tree had been stripped of leaves, and instead was filled with pink wads of insulation — looking much like a tree from a cartoon.
Other interesting finds included a fishing boat against the remains of a front porch while others found canoes, toys and bank books.

Neighbors of Renjis Empati, 57, of Borneo are very thankful, and some might say relieved, that he heeded natures call.
When Renjis walked outside to use his toilet he noticed that his kitchen was in the process of being swallowed by a sinkhole. He immediately called out to his neighbors and saved them just in the nick of time.
Said a grateful neighbor: “If it were not for him, most of us would be dead by now.” Approximately 100 neighbors were saved by Renjis Empati’s call to get out of their homes.
