Reserved Parking:

A judge in New Port Richey, Fla., who found a car in his reserved parking space, parked behind it and ordered the driver to stay in his courtroom until he was ready to call it a day and go home. “There’s two perks to the job,” Circuit Judge Stanley Mills told the St. Petersburg Times. “I have my own bathroom, and I have my own parking spot, and you’re not going to get to use either.”

The 26-year-old woman who had parked in the space said she misinterpreted the “reserved” sign, thinking it just meant the parking was reserved for those going to the courthouse.

Oxana Malaya, one of about 100 known feral children, has the tested mental age of 6, stilted speech and an uncoordinated gait, and still buries any gifts she receives and runs into the woods when she is upset.

For the camera, Malaya showed she can still bark, run on all fours, pant with her tongue out, and dry herself off by shaking.
